You're welcome, Eve ^^ Good luck!

You can do it, Kuro! Just stop procrastinating and work hard!

Hey Kurokaizoku, not that it matters, but I get the feeling that a lot of the people on the forums haven't read the manga of Naruto, and your post was FULL of spoilers.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1052 on:** August 25, 2008, 01:46:42 am »

I probably should have tagged that or something. It's pretty far off. I don't know how far off it is. I just watch the show, and I'm like 2-3months behind since I dont have sound on my computer right now....
I don't even know whats going on in the show right now

misamisa · « **Reply #1054 on:** August 25, 2008, 02:20:09 am »

I only have one thing left to do.

I am feeling pretty content right now.

I think I'll take a good break for a day or two.

Luck you. I've been working on my cosplay AND studying for my Pharmacy Certification Exam...which is thursday. >.>

Got my pants done.

Now all that's left is the main zipper for my jacket.

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #1057 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:44:58 am »

my costume is done!!!!!!!!!
yes! I am so happy!

myalchod · « **Reply #1058 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:49:25 am »

I wouldn't try spray paint in the bathtub, BTW: it doesn't really wash out well. Unless you've covered just about every surface in there with something ...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1059 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:53:04 am »

Ah, alright. I am not terribly rushed, so I will probably just wait. It looks like it is drying up outside anyway, heh. Thanks for the help, both of you. ^_^

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1060 on:** August 25, 2008, 09:02:48 am »

Yay another costume complete~ I haven't gotten to work on Legretta at all and now I have to make some stuff for my boyfriends Issac costume. I think I can do it though.

PJ Bridget- DONE

Miria Harvent- DONE

Boyfriend's Issac Dian-
I've got to go buy material for the vest and his neckerchief. Then make the vest. Then make him spurs if we have the time on Thursday/Friday.

Legretta-

Gun #1- 80%
Gun #2- 80%
Overdress- 20%
Horseshoe Hair Thing- Done
Gloves- 20%
Tights- 0%
Wig- 0%

I'm hoping to complete my guns tonight. I'll post pics if I do, for they are looking sexy so far.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1061 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:02:39 am »

busy day -.- today i go shopping for the wigs and last minute supplies

Higuma · « **Reply #1062 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:33:01 am »

Started building chest piece for my sons Shinji Ikari plug suit, I have the shoulders and the chest done. I still need to build the back and the side straps.

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1063 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:47:31 am »

Thanks to AE this past weekend, Ashitaka's wearable. Still have a few things left to do, though, if I want the completed version:
- Make the sword out of wood, paint, and wrap the grip (use the foamboard version as a template)
- Fix the boots
- Make the chaps
- Dye the compression shirt
- Finish the ties for the arm covers
- Make the small dagger
- Re-wrap the grip for the bow
- Get suede for the quiver, make it
- Make a few arrows

But thankfully, all of that's optional, except maybe the sword. I'm doing that today.

Also, for Cardcaptor Sakura:
- Finish the patches
- Make the collars, cuffs, and hats
- Finish the wand
- Style the wig

Teuvan · « **Reply #1064 on:** August 25, 2008, 08:01:57 pm »

Yay! I'm at about 95% with my Kaiji outfit, which will be my first non-half-assed cosplay. Just need to go shopping for the appropriate shirts tomorrow, have my emblems re-fastened, and wear the whole outfit around for a bit to get used to the feel. Here's a horrible, self-taken picture of me with the coat and some of the cards:

looks good. I would say wear it for a whole day to make sure everything stays together well.

That's pretty much the plan. The only thing I really have to worry about are the emblems, which seem to be stuck on there pretty nicely. The main thing I need to get used to is...wearing jeans. I've worn sweatpants since I was 3. This cosplay is the first time I've ever worn jeans in my life.

veraca · « **Reply #1067 on:** August 25, 2008, 09:20:09 pm »

oO; Wow. I wear jeans and slacks and cargo pants all the time. I dislike wearing skirts, and that's what most of my costumes are $:-\$ Weird huh..

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1068 on:** August 25, 2008, 09:22:14 pm »

i wore dresses untill i turned ten o.o

and then went to skirts untill 13, and now i only wear jeans xD

oh the things the preppy mother will force her child into *sighs* oh well, least they were easy to manuver in, had to be carful though xd

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1069 on:** August 25, 2008, 09:46:58 pm »

I got a blue blazer for my Hikaru costume today. It even came with a vest and a skit (which I am thinking about turning into another blazer for Kaoru) ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1070 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:42:36 pm »

So, my wig came today! Finally, one more thing off the list of things to get into my frying-pan hands. Tomorrow I need to get some product and work on styling it. I tried it on and it seems like there is not enough hair on it, as I felt some bald patches on it, but I think if I style it right it could be covered just fine. I dunno, I'm definitely new to the wig world.

I'm also aiming to finish the cape painting tonight, sew the extension on the scarf tomorrow, and attach the barrels to my cannon also. So, yeah, I hope I make progress!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1071 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:46:33 pm »

Alright I have a new thing that I need to work on for my costume. ACTING! I need to get Temari's personality and attacks down so i will be doing studying to make sure I make the best Temari. With the Dating game and the chess (which I made, I'm going to be a knight ^_^) it will really challenge my abilities

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1072 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:53:50 pm »

I got Davy's tentacle hand and face painted today. It should be ready to go. Now it just needs a test run to see if the material will hold up. *Moment of truth*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1073 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:56:09 pm »

good luck with that. I hope it does.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1074 on:** August 25, 2008, 11:58:57 pm »

Yes, good luck. From what I've seen so far, I am sure you'll be an amazing Davy Jones. ^_^

Higuma · « **Reply #1075 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:16:50 am »

My sons shinji cosplay is about 75% done, I finished the chest piece of the plug suit but now I have to alter the wetsuit. The hardest stuff is done though.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1076 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:26:16 am »

thats good to hear.....now there is only three days away from pre-reg night ^_^

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1077 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:58:59 am »

gah yeah so close x.x

veraca · « **Reply #1078 on:** August 26, 2008, 01:22:32 am »

x_x And the excitement's tearing my sleep to shreds >> It'll be a miracle if I can fix it in time for the con.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1079 on:** August 26, 2008, 07:37:33 am »

finished rikku's belt yesterday. i also went to joanne's and got the stuff i needed for the right arm glove. and today i put the last layer of sealance on the shoulder disks for rikku. yesterday i helped my friend start her lucky star skirt...but we forgot to fold the fabric and there wasn't enough for the other half...two blondes doing cosplay together does not work...

today im gonna finish the goggles and hopefuly almost finish rikku's shirt. i'll also paint the disks. dunno if ill finish that cuz i have to paint the back and front, but i will most likely have the shirt finished late tomorrow

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1080 on:** August 26, 2008, 08:43:49 am »

Yay, sounds like it's coming along nicely (your Rikku anyway, heh). Good luck with your material shopping. ^_^

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1081 on:** August 26, 2008, 08:53:39 am »

*yawn* still not done with my hemming.... and i need to go out and get the wigs today cause the store closed on us yesterday...

nyahaha · « **Reply #1082 on:** August 26, 2008, 09:29:20 am »

yay! i finished the goggles!!!!!!! onto the shirt!
thank u eve

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1083 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:34:31 am »

Good luck with Rikku. I really want to see it, and I may ask you how you did a few things because I want to do her sometime too.....right now my hair isn't long enough for her though v.v maybe next year.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1084 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:37:38 am »

ya sure thing! i really hope i finish it too. the shoes really turned out good and i want to wear them

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1085 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:52:57 am »

I love that version of Rikku but I wanted to buy the costume and no one sales it...just X-2 Rikku v.v

Cosplay magic will get it soon but not sure when >_>

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1086 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:55:10 am »

My cosplay is finished, but only because It's easy to do.
I hate figuring out cosplay at the last second.
D:
-thinks hers is crap-

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1087 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:57:51 am »

Well you should take a picture of it and post it in the critiques and hear what other people have to say. It may be really good, and they could always give you things you need to work on ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1088 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:00:24 am »

You'd make an awesome Rikku, Nikkiolie! You're talking about the X version, right? Yeah, that'd be awesome, and if you did it next year, we could get photos together cause I may do Wakka. Either next year or the year after it.

yeah i really want to do Rikku....maybe I'll start working on it soon >_> *has nothing else to do* because it kinda looks liek a hard costume.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1090 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:03:05 am »

It has it's tough accessories, but I think with the right advice, tools, and help, you could do it no problem. Remember, you've got your cosplay crew behind you. ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1091 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:09:07 am »

yeah i don't think I would do her weapon though >_> We'll see....

nyahaha · « **Reply #1094 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:46:49 pm »

woot! the shirts about done, but i need my mom to help me with the next part. ill probably work on lucky star when i get back from the orthodonist(dunno if thats spelled right) until mom gets back

Kotoumi · « **Reply #1095 on:** August 26, 2008, 12:47:26 pm »

Okay, so All I have to do for Mana now is make shoes, clay up some fosshape, remake my belt 'cause it's a little too small, and paint.

And put stuff together.

For the prop commission, I just have to clay that up and paint it, too. I shaped the styrofoam yesterday and stuck in the wings and cheek ribbons. I'm going to add the details on the bottom after I finish with the clay on Mana - while It dries I'll work on the props, while the props dry I'll paint the stuff for Mana.

Yaaaay plans.

Also, Misa has officially been dropped for this con. It really doesn't look like she'll be finished.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1096 on:** August 26, 2008, 01:12:41 pm »

I'm dying my gloves now. Just need to let them soak a little more then they have to dry. ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1097 on:** August 26, 2008, 01:16:01 pm »

Need to finish skirt, necklace, and summoning gems/potions/pinions/stuff to hand out ^^

EDIT

... and need to glue together Tiger Racket.

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #1098 on:** August 26, 2008, 02:05:19 pm »

I'm going to work on fixing the pattern for the suspenders pretty soon (it's way too big right now).

Tomorrow I'm going to
- Joann's: to buy a glue gun, black binding tape, and a ruler with circles.
- Goodwill: to search for black combat boots.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1099 on:** August 26, 2008, 02:13:21 pm »

My gloves are drying now and there is a few patches of lighter color but I don't think it will be seen once the armor is on.
