WHO'S DOING IT???

Once the con rolls around I'll organize a shoot.

I'm cosplaying Komui and in my group will be Allen, Rabi, Kanda, Rinali and Klaud/Cloud Nine.

sekitan bun · « **Reply #1 on:** April 08, 2008, 07:54:35 pm »

I'm going as Kanda for one of them I know that, I was kanda to S-con so I'll be using my cosplay, it's the second uniform (pleather)
but can't wait to see you there! I have a Lavi and Allen.

sk_chan · « **Reply #2 on:** April 08, 2008, 10:54:27 pm »

Neato. I'm glad someone replied, haha, I was getting a little worried for a second...

I'm desperately in need of a Rinali~ ;3; I hope one comes...

Higuma · « **Reply #3 on:** April 09, 2008, 10:13:10 am »

I will probably be the Earl of the Millenium

Etchy · « **Reply #4 on:** April 10, 2008, 05:17:34 pm »

I will be probably cosplaying as Lavi I cosplayed with Sekitan Bun (Yeah you know excatly who this is) Its just I might not be cosplaying as him for long because I get soaked in sweat in that costume.

sk_chan · « **Reply #5 on:** April 14, 2008, 08:23:52 am »

Ah, we got a Rinali! I'll update the board.

Chek · « **Reply #6 on:** April 30, 2008, 03:53:28 pm »

I can probably drag my Earl costume back out for the photoshoot. Dunno if you saw me last year, I was the one with the birdhouse on my hat.

Want me to?

I might've seen you at the shoot.

Sure thing. The more the merrier.

I'm not sure if my Allen's coming though.
I'm amazed she was able to carry me at S-con.

myalchod · « **Reply #9 on:** May 18, 2008, 12:31:38 pm »

Pretty sure my group's going to be doing D.Gray for this year (my first year, their second, if I'm correct). I'm sure there will be a spoiler!Tyki, almost certain there will be a Cross (though I'm not sure if it'll be first or spoiler version), maybe an Earl, and as for me, I'm going to try to get my Komui cos together -- if not, I'll just pull Road back out, or (slim chance) pre-exorcist Miranda, if I decide to finish her instead.

So yeah. I rather expect we'll be there.

Ugh.. I just remembered...my Kanda wig.
I was going to ask where I can get a new nice wig or how I can put my fricken hair up on the one I have into that ponytail!
I just let it slide last con, but this time I want to make sure it stays up...any suggestions?

Wowwigs.com has awesome wigs. But they're a tiny bit pricey.

In anycase I'll be one of the many Lavi's roaming about, but in the original costume because I'm not brave enough for the pleather. u.u

Was there a day you were considering for the photos? I'll only be cosplaying Lavi one day, and mostly because I'll be doing a DGM panel. *shamelessly plugging*

Hmm... I'll have to think about what day I'll be him, I haven't decided O.o
I'm thinking about doing a lazy cosplay, like something I don't have to be so straight laced just to be it.
Like my Kanda cosplay I have to bind my chest and die of heat stroke, and my Axel cosplay I have to show my forehead (I've never liked showing my forehead) and bind my chest for that too....
I think I'll actually cosplay a girl for once, though I don't like the idea of it, I'd be able to let myself out more (like the chest area XD)
I'll probably switch between cosplay in the middle of the days :3

Oni Kitsune · « **Reply #16 on:** June 06, 2008, 06:18:06 pm »

XD I'm going to end up doing that once for sure, maybe twice. XD

But I was looking for Saturday D Gray-man cosplayers since that's the day I'm doing the panel. I was hoping if I could find enough to maybe beg them into trying to do a bit of a game for my panel since I agreed to do it for 2 hrs. /sweat

I sent an e-mail and got a reply. She says they think it'd be awesome to be a part of your panel (although they haven't started on their costumes yet, but she insists they'll be done by the con, lol).

What's this sort of "game" you're talking about, though?

XD It was gonna just be a manga discussion, but I'm not a massive awesome speaker so I was hoping to eat time with a trivia game or something like that. I'm open to suggestions if you guys have any.

As for my ideas as far as the trivia deal go I was thinking along the lines of splitting the audience into two groups as well as the cosplayers into 2 groups and having the audience answer trivia questions. The group with the least answers, their cosplayers, will have to do some sort of punishment.

I haven't a freaking idea about what to do past that. u.u

Ha. (I'm not a massive awesome speaker either, so you're not alone.)

Erm, well, it honestly sounds like it would work. As for the punishment, to throw an idea out, how about it's different for each character? Like, something the character would never do (or woudn't like to do) and we'd have to try to act it out to the best of our ability... *shrug*

Hi there! :D

We also have a D.Gray-Man group. Well, only three of us.. but still...

I myself will be Kanda, in his 2nd uniform. My sister will be Miranda. She was pre-excorcist Miranda at this year's Sakura Con, if anyone saw her. It's weird that she might be the only Miranda, at least so far! Our friend will be Lavi, in his first uniform.

Oh, and any day is fine for the photoshoot for us--we'll be cosplaying as D.Gray-Man characters for the entire Con. If we can stand the heat... D:

Ah, one more thing--the Lavi and I are totally yaoi fangirls, so beware our jokes... >D

Really? I thought it was quite popular...anyway, I'm not a fan of Rabi/Allen (eww), but I'm willing to tolerate Kanda/Allen. (I'd much prefer CROSS/ALLEN, muwahahaha. Or hell, Cross/Komui. Or Tyki Mikk/Allen.)

I...don't have any DGM doujins. D: I have other doujins, but...no DGM. I've been meaning to buy a Kanda/Rabi one, but alas, I can't find one with decent enough artwork for a price I'm willing to pay.

Nisha · « **Reply #36 on:** July 04, 2008, 03:09:27 pm »

Yeah, I'm really not that big on Allen pairings... but Cross and Tyki would work wonders with anyone! :D I have a Cross x Kanda doujin, but it's not graphic at all... pity.

But yeah, I know what you mean--at the place I bought them at Sakura Con, we weren't allowed to peak inside the packaging, so we had to judge by the cover. Which worked for a couple of the ones I bought, but I don't think I would've bought the Cross x Kanda doujin if I had seen the real art... [And now that I think on it, I believe I did see a Kanda x Lavi doujin there! But I don't remember what the company was called, unfortunately...]

In any case, if anyone else is interested in buying or trading doujins--though I would probably only be interested in parting with the aforementioned Cross x Kanda one--then I'll totally be there. 'Cause hey, I could use a few more. :3

Yeah, for some reason, I'm just not one for Allen apirings, either. Dunno why...unless he's with Cross, because that's so AMUSING.

Awwh, yeah, I looked for Kanda/Rabi doujins at SakuraCon 08...but all I could find were Kanda/Allen. asdfghjkl;; ._.;; Maybe I'll find some at KumoriCon...who knows. It's where I found a Tales of Symphonia doujin with nice art (although there were no pairings, I was surprised to find that in a place where the doujins mostly consist of Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist), so anything's possible.

Cool stuff. 8D Maybe if I find a Kanda/Rabi doujin in the dealer's room before the shoot I'll show it to you guys~

" okay, okay DEFINATLY by July 20 th for the parade"

" Nevermind. I'll learn to sew and do it myself"

" No,no I'll START on it soon"

Has not started on it.

I know, I should do it myself but all excuses aside, don't promise something if you don't intend to do it.

Maybe I'm petty, but I kind of hate it when shoots degenerate into gratuitous noncanon pairing shots. Just my opinion, though.

Now that AX is over, I'm hoping to get to work finishing up my pre-exorcist Miranda, because I don't think I'll have time to do Komui before KCon. T_T Alas, I have returned home to find the craft room/spare bedroom exploded everywhere with my housemates' crap -- understandable, when we had to evacuate due to impending BURNING UP, but still quite vexing. It's probably gonna be a few weeks before I can nag them enough to unbury the desk. *cries*

*shrug* I never said we would. But if we do have shots like that, it won't be for the whole shoot. To each their own. Anyway, I've never had a shoot that had noncanon pairing shots, so it'd be new to me. (And I personally think some of the pairings I named off are slightly canon.)

Anyway, good luck with your rather, erm...interesting situation. Miranda's always welcomed~

Not to imply that you would; it was more of a general observation of something I've seen in too many instances, especially as it had come up in discussion just earlier that day with friends post-con. But eh, each their own, and each their own interpretation of canon.

So, apparently, actually, according to an e-mail I just recieved, this group is going to fall through. I'm sorry to anyone who thought we were coming, but things happen. I /might/ still come as Komui, but I don't have much motivation of bringing that costume anymore, since I was only bringing it for the group, so it's highly unlikely...and I think there's another Komui coming in another group, anyway? So.

It's impossible for a photo shoot to fall through. Even if we can't be official according to the schedule, we can plan an unofficial one, and I'll take it from here.

I realized that even though I don't have my exorshists costume, my normal attire is very similar to Kanda's. So I will go as him in his normall outfit.
