That's one of the best costumes for that character I've seen. Try and fix it up with the use of Fabric Stitch to secure threads and be careful of how you move incase something gets pulled at. My biggest problem with my Kairi's skirt at SakuraCon was the pleats moving from my sitting on them and the knots would undo. I almost had a pleat come undone during the con x.x

I like it and I think you should wear it. It's very good. But maybe be more prepared for it falling apart again?

Oh yes, I totally destroyed it at Sakuracon, but I fixed it just recently. Dont expect it to hold up for too long, but I'm sure wearing it one day wont hurt it any.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #102 on:** July 28, 2008, 09:57:19 pm »

The biggest thing that I think needs the work is the ear headband thingy. The white paint is a little choppy and needs to be more of a smooth line.

katayamadono · « **Reply #103 on:** July 28, 2008, 10:04:45 pm »

Yea, If I have time, I'm gonna restitch everything and I'm gonna try and get ahold of some foam and just remake the headband all together. Its really crappy cuz its made out of cardboard.
And the fabric is sparkly, so the butt of the suit has no sparkles from sitting too much. I hope thats not too noticable.

veraca · « **Reply #104 on:** July 28, 2008, 10:09:44 pm »

Restitch if you can, glue it maybe at the knots and where there's a lot of pulling from wearing it naturally. And see if you can't redo the headband- either making a new one or touching up that one with white out or paint =3 It still looks great.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #105 on:** August 15, 2008, 09:34:05 am »

Alright I have both of my costumes almost finished. I already asked about both but I added more to Albel

What does everyone think? This was before I remade the claw but it still looks the same. And I know that the armor on the shoes is coming off.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #106 on:** August 15, 2008, 09:36:27 am »

Nikki your cosplays are beyond awesome!
I love them both!

OLD COSPLAY.
I'm going to make it better one of these days.
....maybe.or not...DX

....ew
I KNOW THE SHOULDERS ARE HORRID. DX The sewing machine broke in the process, so 95% of this cosplay is hand sewn.
DXXXXXXX

I don't know why it took me so long, but I think some feedback on my Barret Wallace could be useful. I made it last year, but I'm wearing it again this year, with nothing at all changed, so I'm using a photo from last year. (Like I said, nothing has changed, except I'm a slightly better shape).

So, anyone see something that could be worked on? ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #109 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:15:18 am »

Are you going to shave? I mean it looks great either way but going for the AC look he doesn't have a beard.

Yes, actually. I am going to be shaving more so than I did last year. I guess that is the one thing that would be different, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #111 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:18:48 am »

Alright I think the rest looks great. Adding the pocket to the vest that is on the left shoulder would be a good idea but with such a short time period you could do without and it looks great.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #112 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:19:59 am »

Yeah, I should have worked on improving the vest in the off-season, but , oh well. ^_^ Maybe next year.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #113 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:21:15 am »

I think it looks great.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #114 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:26:55 am »

Yay ^_^ Yeah, I am really pleased with it too (otherwise I probably wouldn't be wearing it again, lol). I want to do my best to make it my "career defining cosplay", if that makes sense, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #115 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:36:39 am »

that makes perfect sense...I think I may be that way with Albel or Temari or both XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #116 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:48:03 am »

Oh, yeah. I could definitely see Albel working that way for you (I say Albel only because I have not seen your Temari in person). Best of luck skyrocketing to cos-super-stardom, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #117 on:** August 15, 2008, 10:49:04 am »

Same to you ^_^

Soubi · « **Reply #118 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:25:37 pm »

Baww. I'm gonna have to get my stuff finished!
I'll have pictures before the con~. <3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #119 on:** August 15, 2008, 12:26:52 pm »

I can't wait to see them. I hope everything turns out the way you want them to.

Creelman09 · « **Reply #120 on:** August 15, 2008, 05:17:25 pm »

Heres my princess zelda cosplay from twilight princess. I do have armor I just didn't wear it for the pictures

Black~Rose · « **Reply #121 on:** August 15, 2008, 09:47:51 pm »

WOW!!!!

very good zelda!!

and umm I was wondering for those ppl who have seen my tifa (or just look at my DP) Do I make a good tifa?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #122 on:** August 15, 2008, 11:20:34 pm »

That is a very good costume.....if you are anything like me then you want someone to tell you what you can improve on rather than telling you that it is good so lets see........are you going to do the shoulder armor? A sword might also be good.....O.O you could make a Sheik and transform randomly (I guess that is a little late as it gets really close to con x.x)

pinkrandomattack · « **Reply #123 on:** August 16, 2008, 02:08:54 am »

ok, so this isnt me, its my sister but i did make the costume.

she hasent decided if she wants to wear it again this year. it needs some touching up near the feet, and i didnt have time to do the green detailing on the arms and legs (if you look close you can see it on the ears...also she put them on upside down).

i guess im kinda wondering if its worth the time to fancy it up a bit.

and the refference

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #124 on:** August 16, 2008, 09:29:34 am »

Wow, that's an awesome Midna cosplay! Great job.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #125 on:** August 16, 2008, 09:37:31 am »

I think it looks really cool. With a little touching up it would be amazing.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #126 on:** August 16, 2008, 09:42:33 am »

Oh Em Gee, I totally remember her from last year! We stood around and talked about the finer points of Avatar cosplay!

She was cool. Her costume was plenty cool too! You did a wonderful job. Maybe you should try putting the green on, and make sure she puts her ears on right-side up this time?

DarkKnightUltima · « **Reply #127 on:** August 16, 2008, 11:04:48 am »

How about this?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #128 on:** August 16, 2008, 11:06:04 am »

I'm not too schooled in Bleach, Naruto, or Inuyasha so I'm not sure which character or from what show you are. Who are you, so I can look up a reference picture?

Oh the armor is already made my amazing wonderful friend made it for me. And I've been trying to figure out how to make the sword I did find a bow and arrow at the dollar store but its just not the same...Haha and if I turn into shiek at random then I'd have to run away from link all the time, and hes just too beautiful to run away from ^^

ok then I am out of ideas to improve it. I think it looks fantastic. For my sword I used one I carved a long time ago.....that of course would take a lot of time to do but there are tutorials on how to make them but I have no idea where they are....i just remember looking at one.

you inspired me! I made a sword last night and its pretty sweet ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #132 on:** August 20, 2008, 04:21:17 pm »

Alright I got my wig for Hikaru Hitachiin today and styled it a little. The rest of the costume isn't done but maybe I'll wear his date outfit to the zoo or car wash or something. Anyways I wanted to hear everyones opinion about how I styled it.

The wig is a little darker than I wanted it to be but I guess it is more like what their real hair color would be. It looks more natural.

Black~Rose · « **Reply #133 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:21:17 pm »

Thats AWSOME!!! OMG I LOVE THE TWINS!!! AND THE WIG LOOKS GREAT!!

I cant see the other side of it though

nikkiolie · « **Reply #134 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:26:58 pm »

I know. If I tried to get one side you couldn't see the other. It kinda sucks....the other side is very simple with a little bit of spikes. I'll try taking more pictures.

veraca · « **Reply #135 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:32:01 pm »

I dunno... I think the twin's hair is more of a strawberry brown but flashes tend to kill wigs colors, making them look too light or too dark.

But the styling you've done so far looks great!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #136 on:** August 20, 2008, 07:34:26 pm »

It is a very dark wig. its an auburn brown color. it could be a little lighter but I still like the cut and the color. But the picture does make it look much darker than it really is.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #137 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:52:24 pm »

The wig looks awesome, Nikkiolie! You did a killer styling job on it. I wish I Was going to the zoo so I could see it in person, but the photo will have to be enough, heh. Great work!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #138 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:57:29 pm »

I'll either wear it to the zoo or the car wash (or both) so I should have a picture of the costume then ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #139 on:** August 20, 2008, 09:58:50 pm »

Well, awesome. Either way, the wig alone looks really good. So thumbs up to that.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #140 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:11:17 pm »

I styled it a little better since that picture. I made the side more pointy

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #141 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:12:38 pm »

Ah, well pointy is always good. ^_^ Cloud made pointy awesome, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #142 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:20:11 pm »

yup. I just finished the vest that I am going to use (it was a zip up short sleeve jacket and I just cut the sleeves off and glued the edge down)

Black~Rose · « **Reply #143 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:21:21 pm »

lol

I edited my wig a little, not sure if you can tell but yeah... the bangs are a little better and I straightend the ends a little.. I also updated the ribbon...what do ya think of me as tifa? is there anything I need to edit further? (I dont think I can do much else with the wig though)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #144 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:22:51 pm »

I'd say you could try to get gloves, because AC Tifa has black gloves. You make a really good Tifa though, so there isn't much that you need to improve on, that I can see, heh

nikkiolie · « **Reply #145 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:23:21 pm »

I like your Tifa. I don't really see much that you could change. Gloves maybe?

I was looking for reference pictures for Hikaru and I found this. I really want it now.

XD Isn't it great?!

Black~Rose · « **Reply #146 on:** August 20, 2008, 10:24:54 pm »

thanks, I do have gloves

I wasn't fighting anyone in the pics so I didn't wear them lol.

nice underwear XD

Alright I got a pic of my Hikaru cosplay.

its not the best picture in the world but you get the idea of the costume. I am trying to find a good picture of it.

its hard to find a ref picture but this is the best I could find

veraca · « **Reply #149 on:** August 20, 2008, 11:17:51 pm »

Awsome job on that costume!!!! I'd totally be just like I was when I saw that episode "Oh so cooool!" Anyone else reminded of Yoh with Hikaru's headphones? XD; Maybe it's just me.
Hmmm for the wig, looks like Hikaru's got a bunch of the bangs that hang under the rest towards his ear- like he pushes that bunch behind his ear and the other bunch gets puffy? I wonder if there's a way to make that pretty accurate in a wig --- but that's cause I like to nitpick at wigs.

As for Tifa... Personally I'd try for a red ribbon, with the tails of the bow being a bit longer maybe?

Did I say I got my Roxas wig yet? XD Well I took some pictures in the school boy costume I'm thinking of doing. I'm thinking of wearing the girls costume there and changing out before the afternoon. (Ignore the cat please XD)
