lol that would be great.

Someone SO needs to do that. XD Or if they kill her, me or someone else do as above, then fake-cry when it fails. XD

But then Aerith could stay with Cloud! *such a CloudXAerith fan* And then, between Sephiroth's ressurecting himself multiple times somehow, HE CAN BE WITH ZACK! *loves that one as well* ^^;;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1252 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:39:40 pm »

I am a big fan of Zack Cloud ^_^

I just facepalm'd so bad... Oh good lord I hate yaoi for what it does to my favorite fandoms.

Tomorrow I'll fix Esther maybe at the hotel or maybe before we load up the car. Eh, what the heck. I'll do it when we get there. We leave at noon, we get there long before pre-reg opens up. I have time!

If you want to know, I'll be walking through the lobby dressed as Konan with my Demyx sitar. That'll be a crossover for the ages.

veraca · « **Reply #1254 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:41:45 pm »

I love most pairings of FFVII world XD Some I just don't get - like ZackxSephiroth. Hellooooo in all reality, Sephy would massacre him. Ahh the stretches of the story >>; So weird.

Wasn't there a rant someone did on youtube or something of a guy saying "I never got to revive Aerith with a Pheonix Down!!!" lol I loved that. I cracked up laughing going "Yeah!! Why don't the just use a Pheonix Down on her?!"

I am going to try to be there about 4 and I'll have a big group. I'll be Hikaru from the date episode ^_^

Four TOMORROW? Con isn't until Saturday... not counting pre-reg. XD

SephirothXZack is mostly referencing pre-Nibelhim incident... mostly. XD After? He'd slaughter him in a heart-beat. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1257 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:46:44 pm »

We are talking about pre-reg ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1258 on:** August 28, 2008, 09:58:35 pm »

Oh, btw, pinions are no different. All they are different in FFIX is they are both a useable item and an add-on that you use to learn the summon Phoenix for Eiko and like... one other ability.

veraca · « **Reply #1259 on:** August 28, 2008, 10:01:39 pm »

My weirdest part of the convention'll be me cosplayed as Yuna in her Songstress carrying around a keyblade. Not as a prop, but because I can't store it anywhere else since I need it for Aqua that day xD;

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1260 on:** August 28, 2008, 10:05:54 pm »

XDD Gonna go to the FF photoshoot?

veraca · « **Reply #1261 on:** August 28, 2008, 10:13:15 pm »

That's actually the plan. Roxas Saturday even though the photoshoot's the same time as our dinner, I maybe can sneak over... Aqua Sunday morning and Yuna sunday evening for the KH morning shoot and the FF evening shoot XDDD And lastly Diva on Monday

BLAHHHHHHHH
Almost finished ;___;
I just finished the sewing on my Leona top..... ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ITS TERRIBLE. The lining didnt match up with the rest, but I dont have enough time to fix it, and the collar is SUPAR funky since I patterned it myself, and for some reason I can't pattern collars to save my life. I think all the mistakes are really only noticeable to me, but still, I'm a perfectionist XDD

I just gotta fix up Neuro's head for the cosplay chess. I can finish everything else up at the hotel...

I can't wait to see you alll at the con!

Kumi-chan - Everything looks AMAZING. I can't wait to see your Ashitaka!!

Sugarlat · « **Reply #1264 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:04:06 am »

I'VE MADE A NEW HARUHI SKIRT!
IT'S AWESOME TOO!!!
I've also remade my Haruhi shirt and changed the collar that I had on [/the ribbon was red] to white and i made the sailor collar a bit longer and undetachable!
I also shortened my skirt, added on my ouran patch and I'm READY TO GO!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #1265 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:25:19 am »

Here's what I've got left:

Davy Jones:
-Barnacle Jacket
-Add buttons to vest
-Barnacle vest
-Add marine adornments to jacket
-Paint barnacles

Tali from Mass Effect:
-Add visor to mask
-Add tubes to mask and arm armor.
-Finish sewing and add zipper to collar
- Sew arm strips

Tali I can finish tonight with exception to the visor. I need to tape it to the right shape. super glue keeps on getting on the front of the visor and ruining it.

I've got tonight and tomorrow to do it all! I can make it! I swear!

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1266 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:12:10 am »

Woot! Pouch is done, quiver is done, sheath is done. Everything (for Ashitaka) that absolutely had to be done before I left home is finished! Anything else can be done in the car on the ride down or at the hotel.

I'm kind of amazed. I don't think I've ever been this complete on a new costume two days before I'm due to wear it. I should do cons two weekends in a row more often. ^^

Will take some more pictures tomorrow, when the lighting's better.

And I believe I'll be taking certain parts of the outfit to the fabric store tomorrow, because I just got a call regarding an application of mine, and she wants to see examples of my work. That and/or Juliet. Which reminds me I still have to make Juliet's hat for the ball. Oh well, I'll probably cut it out tomorrow.

Kurokaizoku · « **Reply #1267 on:** August 29, 2008, 03:24:17 am »

Disaster.

I just took my laundry out of the dryer and my kurenai dress shrunk in length. Now it is too short!
I guess tomorrow I will be buying a different fabric(this one gave me a headache working with!) and starting from scratch when I get to the hotel. Good thing I'll be there all day.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #1268 on:** August 29, 2008, 03:26:30 am »

OH NOES!
What a tragity!
I wish you good luck!

I feel you. The varnish didn't dry on my belt. It got sticky. Really, really sticky. I need to redo it. Luckily the design is simple. BUT my barnacles are now falling off. I guess the spray can sent too much dust down so a lot of "shells" are falling off of my pants.

Best of luck to you. Can you not just add another layer of those bandages things?

myalchod · « **Reply #1270 on:** August 29, 2008, 07:55:27 am »

So after running home over lunch break yesterday to lay a first coat of spray varnish down on my belt fittings, and staying up until two AM to finish up sewing, I have one thing left to make before I leave the house, and that's just a question of taking the bottom of my existing obi up about three inches. 'Course, I still have to pack too, but that shouldn't go too badly. And maybe dye my hair to cover up the grey for Miranda, though it's okay if that doesn't happen -- it's a lot less evident when I pull my hair into a bun, after all.

I've got three hours until I need to head out the door, pretty much. Hurrah.

Ouch, that happened to me once too. Thats why my number one rule now is to prewash my fabrics!!!

nyahaha · « **Reply #1272 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:12:16 am »

finished rikku shirt minus the buckles on the side, and designs on ribbon. onto the shorts

forgot to wash shorts fabric so its in the wash and im working on the glove instead... >.>

veraca · « **Reply #1273 on:** August 29, 2008, 09:25:35 am »

>< I wish I had a washer/dryer to prewash.. Instead, I just steam clean my costumes in this thing we have.

It's not that dress. Its her outfit while pregnant. I'm going to print out the page from chapter 342 so that I can show people. I mean it's a simple black dress it was just the fabric.

veraca · « **Reply #1275 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:05:32 am »

Hmm maybe people won't notice, unless it's like waaaay too short?

Car's all packed. I just gotta get something to eat to tide me over, then on my way out I gotta get:

gas
ribbon for Diva
maybe fake flowers
food stuff & ibeprophen

Short little list

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1276 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:08:56 am »

Gloves are done. That was the last non-cannon, non-wig item I needed to do. Yay!

Raknorak · « **Reply #1277 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:20:57 am »

I've got one cosplay at 100%, and the other at 99%! I just need to get a haircut and hope my wig is long enough to not show my black hair through the blonde at the bottom.

See you all there! I look forward to seeing your cosplays!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1278 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:31:00 am »

WOW Eve I like the gloves. They are very reflecty ^_^

Thanks, y'all. ^_^ Reflect tape is my new favorite substance. It's so glowy, lol.

And yes, good luck, Higuma!

Good luck to all those cooking~ I gotta finish up and shut down ^^ I hope to see you all at the con~

Kumi-chan · « **Reply #1288 on:** August 29, 2008, 12:51:29 pm »

Last post, and then I've gotta go pack/wash clothes. First, what the outfit looks like now: http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w212/Midori_no_Kumiko/cosplays/IMG_0082.jpg

And some detail shots:

A few small things remain, but I'd say it's at about 95% now. So, yay!
(And the fabric store hired me. The lady really liked Lum's school uniform and my hakama. So double yay!)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1289 on:** August 29, 2008, 01:58:35 pm »

I lied earlier, lol, now I am done with the last non-cannon, non-wig part of my costume, heh. I just finished the shoes, so now I can get packing. Finally!

Malaria · « **Reply #1290 on:** August 29, 2008, 02:09:24 pm »

Finished my Wufei cosplay! No pictures, because the camera is a holy object in our family and it isn't worth it to try to touch it.
Will be sitting down to do final painting on the Lexicon. New pages are at this point optional and only kind of likely.
Getting extra wig supplies tonight. Here's to not screwing up the styling!

Runa · « **Reply #1291 on:** August 29, 2008, 03:12:03 pm »

Today I finished my "Emma" (from "victorian Romance Emma" which will be premiering at Kumoricon). I also finished up the two Pumpkin Scissors costumes - "Alice" for me, and "Olend" for our Con Chair. W00t!!!

Now I have to fix the reports in the cosplay database so it'll be easier to print data.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1292 on:** August 29, 2008, 03:49:53 pm »

all i have to do for tsukasa is finish the shirt then im all done with her! then i need to do stuff for rikku. im really sorry if i dont finish rikku. dont be mad. $:-\$

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1293 on:** August 29, 2008, 04:40:33 pm »

Got the wig today and finished styling it. Just need to paint Garn'et golden hair-thingy and I'm done. Thunderbolt is being painted right now, too ^^

Kurosaki.Isshin · « **Reply #1294 on:** August 29, 2008, 07:23:27 pm »

Woot, I finaly got all the things i needed

now all I should do is add the stiching on the coat and thats it

Kotoumi · « **Reply #1295 on:** August 29, 2008, 07:36:10 pm »

Mana's wristbands are complete! Soon to follow are her anklets and hopefully her hat and belt.

Finished:
Magic Staff
Boots
Wristbands
Necklace

To do:
Anklets
Hat
Belt
Dress
Shorts?

Also, need to work on commission. Will stay up all night if I have to. Even if con is tomorrow and I get really grumpy without enough sleep.

~~And make a hiatus notice for the YuGiOh RP I live in nowadays~~

Malaria · « **Reply #1296 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:06:07 pm »

Spray-in dye+plastic wig hairs=STICKY TANGLES ARGH
In other news, lice/nit combs work wicked well for taking out aforementioned sticky tangles. There is a use for those demon creatures after all.

BACK TO STYLING.

Edit:
Gel is brown. Gel must die. Going to go take out frustrations on neighborhood children.

Edit 2:
Children asleep. Universe proves once again how unfair it is. But at least I'm done with my wig! And by done, I mean given up. It's passable. <<

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1297 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:27:17 pm »

Styling Garnet's wig *which arrived finally w00t* done! Painted and attached her golden hair thingy and cut out and painted Pikachu's Thunderbolt. Finished all the items - I think - too! I'm going to double check, though, just in case. ^^

I... AM... DOOOOOOOONE!
*done in the 'This is Sparta' voice*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1298 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:27:56 pm »

Nice just in time for the con tomorrow ^_^

Mitsukai Mizu Amaya · « **Reply #1299 on:** August 29, 2008, 10:41:47 pm »

I wasn't able to make the thunderbolt for my friend as big as she was, which is saddening. T.T
But it is 3.5 feet long ^^ The little one is about 3.5 inches too.
It's gonna be a killer bringing everything to the con tomorrow. My stuff is fine, but I'm also carting around her thunderbolt and Pikachu cosplay until I FIND HER to give them to.XD
