Gah, my arms are exhausted, especially my triceps. It's really hard to cut plywood with an exacto knife, a handsaw, and a screwdriver, I've found. Not impossible, just a lot of effort.

I've done most of the work that's absolutely necessary on Ashitaka, so tomorrow I work on Cardcaptor Sakura. And maybe a little on Ashitaka. I want those chaps finished if at all possible.

But there's still lots to do on CCS. Thankfully we're not wearing them until Sunday, so I have time at the con in the evenings if necessary.

Currently dying my daughters hair green for yotsuba.

O.O Just realized the shorts I was gonna wear for Aqua are a bit on the skimpy side in length *eeep*

And I haven't worked on my friend's white mage costume to fix up the neckhole yet. Darn procrastination.

x_x And~ Yes there's more.. I just remembered I have no pretty blue belt for the songstress costume. >>; I'm gonna try to take mom's white one and hope that works.

Making the brooch for Sailor Jupiter tomorrow.

And tearing the house apart to find the necklace I had that would be perfect for Marcus.

Thats a brave brave thing to dye your daughters hair green >_>

agree with Nikki, brave brave man to dye the daughters hair green.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1111 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:38:58 pm »

I hope it turns out great. Is it permanent or semi?

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1112 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:52:54 pm »

hey, my dad went in Hot Topic once with me to get some fishnet for my Yuffie and managed to get sidetracked by the hair dyes they had there. He was seriously considering dying his hair traffic cone orange.

My mom won't let me dye my hair red. She used to have a business partner that was apparently epic crazy because all the years of dying her hair red seeped into her brain.

Oniyukai · « **Reply #1113 on:** August 26, 2008, 10:53:56 pm »

I got my DeathNote in the Mail TODAY!!!

My Teru Mikami Costume is at 95%! (I couldn't get my contact prescription in time for the Death God Eyes) so the costume is as done as its gonna be! I went to the con last year but this is my first year cosplaying. Yay.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1115 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:24:55 pm »

Anyone have binding suggestions? I need to bind rather large bewbs and self-adhering ACe bandages aren't working. I've even used a combo of that and duck tape so I wouldn't end up with a uniboob, but no matter how I do it I still look like I have either an unbound A or B cup or really big pecs.

D: I need to bind for two of my costumes and I has no binding.

oslapedo · « **Reply #1116 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:27:08 pm »

For my crossplay I'm just going to wear a sports bra and a tanktop under the normal shirt. =3

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1117 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:29:13 pm »

Have you tried medical tape? There was a forum somewhere on cosplay.com about binding... hold on, lemme see if I can find it.

HERE YOU GO!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1118 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:37:19 pm »

I've tried everything short of a waist cincher pulled up over my chest. Besides, I would need to get a lot of medical tape XD Bob Fairy, you are too kind. Really.

If I slouch with the Ace bandage method, I look like I've got a man-chest. But then I also have an L-esque posture, and I'm pretty sude neither Riku nor Demyx has a back quite as bad as his.

veraca · « **Reply #1119 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:39:11 pm »

I would suggest a sports bra to start, then bind around that as best you can. You might have to adjust it once in a while during the con, but that's really the best I can say.

oslapedo · « **Reply #1120 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:45:04 pm »

All of that sounds really excruciating. If it were that arduous for me I'd just go as a guy with boobays XD

I use the tape method and it doesn't take that much tape... about half a roll, I also found a package of 4 at Albertsons. It works really well though.....but you can't lift your arms very hight above your head.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1122 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:54:57 pm »

Mm'kay, I need to go to WalMart anyway to get yarn and new crocheting hooks. I'll get Ace bandages and a sports bra while I'm there. I'll probably need to lift my arms above my head at some point, so the tape method is definitely out.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1123 on:** August 26, 2008, 11:55:57 pm »

oh god im watching the south park episode about wallmart xD

Sugarlat · « **Reply #1124 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:39:16 am »

I finished my friends persona cosplay
Tomorrow I hope to COMPLETELY from start to finish make a NEW haruhi skirt, fix the shirt, and add on my Patch...
Maybe I'll be able to relax for a day or two before the con...

There will be. With her water guns.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1126 on:** August 27, 2008, 01:13:48 am »

Today I made some epic awesome progress. I got my cannon almost completed. The barrels are in and fixed, so all I have to do is attach the wheels and the rubber tracking (which should hopefully arrive tomorrow). I will have progress pictures later today, but yeah, I'm excited over how it looks.

Oh, and I also got my pants almost completely finished. Yay for that too.

Sweet deal, Higuma!

Rodney, awesome! I'm looking forward to the photos!

I'm going to work really hard today.
...after I get some sleep.

hahaha

Kurokaizoku · « **Reply #1129 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:08:39 am »

Mrs. Osono costume: Done.
But it's a super simple costume so not much to be that proud of other than I don't do many sewing projects.

I have another 4 hours ahead of me on Thursday making my Kurenai dress. (Yes, it takes me that long to even do a simple dress

...)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1130 on:** August 27, 2008, 04:49:52 am »

Osono....is that the woman from Kiki's Delivery Service, by chance?

nyahaha · « **Reply #1131 on:** August 27, 2008, 07:53:54 am »

alright i almost have the glove done. the right hand one with the metal spike things on it. but i need help with the brown glove on rikku's left hand. ( http://www.ffcompendium.com/art/10-rikku-a.jpg ) does any one have ideas?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1132 on:** August 27, 2008, 09:52:56 am »

it almost looks like a leg or arm warmer with fingers....maybe you can buy one and alter it or get the fabric that they are typically made out of.

I am going to glue the armor to my new gloves today. That wont take very long....an hour tops.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1133 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:21:40 am »

just finished a practice glove! it turned out great into the real one. thank you for the idea nikkiolie! ill have to try that

the disks for the back of rikku's shirt are done. the metal on rikku's right glove just had the back painted, and thats drying now. after i finish the other glove i might go to the library for a test drive. just to make sure the gloves dont rip doing my daily things...

sushiglomper · « **Reply #1134 on:** August 27, 2008, 10:36:25 am »

Queen Beryl corset is done, gromets in place. I just need lacing. Gown for Beryl is done, I just need to hem the bottom(but my f-n sewing machine choked out on me after the corset)....and add the black moons on the boobies. Jewelry is done(although I am waiting on glass to be made for the gems)...and the staff needs to be assembled.

Baby Bonnie Hood just needs a couple stiches and possibly a new apron(it got covered in tacobell last year when I got t-boned on the way home from kumoricon >_<;;;;

annnnd......Akane from Ranma is done.

and Sailor Saturn may get done by the con. I dunno.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1135 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:31:14 pm »

Here's my current progress on the cannon:

I'll be finishing it today, unless the rubber tracking doesn't get here, in which case I'll be finishing it whenever the heck it gets here.

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1136 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:37:39 pm »

Build aluminum foil center of the Tiger Racket since my brother won't let me use a basketball - he has about ten - and I can't bare to part with my soccerball.
T.T

nyahaha · « **Reply #1137 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:38:46 pm »

woah! that cannon's amazing! 0.0

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1138 on:** August 27, 2008, 12:40:14 pm »

Thanks. ^_^ I'm pretty impressed with it so far. I had my doubts, but it is nice to see it working out well. And it is not nearly as heavy as I thought it was going to be, which is nice.

EmAino · « **Reply #1139 on:** August 27, 2008, 01:24:40 pm »

Squee!!!!!!

I just tried on my entire Ravenclaw outfit for the first time since I finally obtained a sweater vest, and it looks GREAT!

Going over to my friend's a little bit later today, and hopefully Jupiter will be done or close to it.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #1140 on:** August 27, 2008, 01:33:50 pm »

nearly done! xD

Chocobo:
Finished

Kairi:
Just getting brought in at the con

Mel:
Needs the rest of her hemming

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #1141 on:** August 27, 2008, 01:36:44 pm »

Rodney, the cannon looks EPIC.

I bought black bias tape and a hot glue gun for the lines on my pants, and some black boots at Goodwill today! Hurrah. The only thing I couldn't find was a clear ruler with different sized circles (no idea what it's called either), but I'll work something out. The black boots I got aren't quite like Leeloo's, but they fit and will do.
I still have to finish those suspenders. uwaa

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1142 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:06:28 pm »

I'm glad you were able to find some boots. I am really excited to see that costume. You'll look fantastic. You may just drown in hugs (or glomps as the kids like to call them, lol).

SageBell · « **Reply #1143 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:16:59 pm »

started painted marcia woo. and pretty far on armor.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1144 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:19:43 pm »

I got little hair band thingies with the hair extensions attached to them so it makes my hair have more volume for Temari and looks a little bit better. Right now I am waiting for the hot glue gun to warm up so I can finish the claw.

Daxe · « **Reply #1145 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:35:34 pm »

Wow, nice cannon there eve. What cosplay is it for?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1146 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:43:15 pm »

Thanks, it's for Azul the Cerulean, from Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1148 on:** August 27, 2008, 02:47:20 pm »

Alright i got the gloves done. Now all I need to do is attach one more little piece and i am done with work on cosplays.

And you cannon really does look very very nice ^_^
