Oh gods, planning for '09 already? Well, I guess '09 will be whatever I don't get done for '08 (because that list is definitely long enough!), plus the handful of other ideas already gnawing at my brain. That said ...
This Year:
- Ryuushi Risai from Juuni Kokki, because cosplay group is doing Juuni Kokki for Kumoricon. Will I be recognised? Probably not. Do I care? Nope!
- Nue from Air Gear, assuming he works out and I can get the cos up there (I'm worried about packing PVC for travel *hides*).
- Komui from D.Gray-man, because I might get killed by my group if I don't have D.Gray. If he doesn't work out, pre-exorcist Miranda is my backup, even if I don't have that cos done either.
- Unohana Retsu from Bleach is a definite maybe this year, because I've been asked to bring her up. We'll see how oversize my suitcase gets. :3 Alternatively, I might bring Okita Souji from Peacemaker, because comfy cosplay is comfy.
Possibilities for 2009:
- Izumi Curtis from FMA, if my group winds up doing Hagaren (I'm tempted to do Lan Fan, but somehow the next cosplay tells me I oughtn't, because, well, spoilers)
- Ryuushi Risai from Juuni Kokki -- cover version from Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora. Because I am mildly masochistic, want to see if I can make armour (just to destroy it, heh), and apparently want the make-up challenge that gangrene will be. And because doing her anime version isn't obscure enough for me. :\
- If I go completely insane and decide to sell my soul to a single cosplay, something from Trinity Blood. Oh, masochism.
The other two cosplays I have planned for 2009 (chibi!pirate!NEWS from the Sayaendo PV and kendo!Sanada) probably won't make it up, because they're to be done with my younger sister, and I don't think she'll be doing Kumoricon. But that's okay -- I'm sure I'll have plenty of cosplays (and more ideas between now and then besides).
