If it's real metal, it'll have to stay in it's sheath the whole time - especially if it's sharp. If you're posing for pics, you can't be inside with it out... I think that's about it.
Oh and it can't touch another person at any time.

Yeah, I recall hearing something similar to that.. but they can change the rules at any time. And that's very fine, I don't have to do very many battle stances, and if I do, it can just be the 'ready to draw' stance.


Edit: I'm almost wondering if I should bring my 2nd gen itouch, with the built-in speakers, and constantly play the DMC3 and DMC4 battle theme while I walk around. XD

So, I broke down and tested everything out at present.

And while I won't show everything, I did edit something up for the forums previewing pleasure.



Sorry for the poor quality and all that jazz.. I was fresh out of the shower and only took like 2 pics, cuz I was still very moist and didn't want it to mess with the materials. Plus the mirror i took that in was still a bit foggy from said shower. XD

Also, again, I didn't do anything with my hair as far as styling, I just hopped out of the shower, dried off my hair a bit, then left it slicked back with just the remaining water in my hair.

Given it's still not quite complete, all that's left is getting boots, gloves, and finalizing my hair.

Kahlan showed me the progress she has made on her Aeris today, and I just have to say...Wow. She looks fantastic as Aeris. The costume looks awesome and I can't wait to take some pics and post them up here, should get them done next week before the con hits.

ya, I will admit, he does need more love, but not weevil... The reason weevil get's no love is because I love the episode where he get's taken over by the Seal of the Oricalcos and Atem freaks out on him, than pretty much over kill's him non stop. Which is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENyBr-K-W28

Rex even becomes a mind slave during the Doma arc. He totally gets a comeback, even if he doesn't know it. XD He was like the easiest cosplay to pull together. And the quickest too.

Working my ass off. I have 3 helpers with me tonight and I'm hoping to get a good chunk of their costumes done tonight. I'm finishing up putting together the base frame for our Sandshrew's ears. We're putting more yellow dye on the sweater tonight since it is really light in the sun so I can't finish the ears until that is done. I'm hoping after that's done dying and drying I can put the belly and pocket on.

Togekiss' feather boa is almost done. We just cut a boa down and we're attaching ties onto it right this moment. My best friend is going to cut out his dress thinger tonight so hopefully I'll just have to sew it together tomorrow.

Pidgey is drafting out her wings at the moment. I've got her fabric in the dryer. I'm hoping that I will have her dress shirt done by tonight besides the tiny duck that's on it (she's painting that on herself). I also want to have the fabric cut out for her bag and have the wigs almost or completely done and have the strips for the hat done tonight too.

NOW I MUST GO WORK.

Update~
Sandshrew is dyed and ready to have things attached. He fell asleep though so I think I'll just do everything for him tomorrow since it isn't a huge thing.

Pidgey's dress is almost cut out, the skirt is dyed, the hat feathers and wings are cut out, and we are getting ready to cut out the bag. I'm going to start sewing things together in a moment.

Togekiss' thinger did get finished :D

oO; I doubt it counts, but I know I'll get my fingers with hot glue again tomorrow. But I'm used to it so it doesn't burn me. After doing it so much for years, it looses it's "burn!" effect >>; I just wait for it to cool and pull it off like wax.

Almost done with what I need to Sandshrew~ I just need to attach the bottom of the pocket to the sweater. We are probably going to try to go to Joanns tomorrow to get the last of the fabric for the ears and then I pass it on to my friend and he will do the fabric paint for the lines.

Pidgey will hopefully be completely cut out by tomorrow. I'm going to try to finish it by the end of the weekend so I can pass on everything else to my friend by Monday.

Tomorrow Togekiss will get cutout while I work on the other things I need to do for Pidgey.

Go go, cosplay team.

Hey guys! I'm having major issues with my sewing machinge (and i'm running out of time!)
The thread/fabric is bunching up slightly as I sew, and one side lookes really flat while the other has tons of loose loops and bunches and what not.
We tried rethreading both the bobin and the top thread, but its still messing up
help?

I had that problem and I finally noticed that the needle wasn't picking up the thread from the bottom bobbin & the tension's too tight. I don't know how to fix it though x_x; Someone else might..

But that's why I sew by hand.. My only trouble is knots..

@ animeotakujoanne - You should have a wheel or knob on your machine that controls tension. What machine do you have?
But it could be the needle, having the wrong size in can make the stitches do that.
