Thanks. I'm pretty happy with it. I just need to get a few better pictures now

Mentally Hilarious · « **Reply #502 on:** March 08, 2009, 05:50:10 pm »

Heres the problem with it: TOO AWESOME So no problems here. XD Seriously. I'm jealous of your skill!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #503 on:** March 08, 2009, 06:03:26 pm »

Thanks. There are a few problems that can't be seen in this picture but are better seen in this one

the only major problem that I can see is that I put my wig on in a hurry and the bottom you can see my real hair. During the con that wont be seen

Also the netting is showing through on the wig so I have some extensions that I will attach to it to hide it. I just hope the extensions wont be able to be seen

awwww it's cute ^_^

I finally got some new pictures of my updated Albel costume. Here are two of my favorites

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #513 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:07:51 pm »

@ Nikkiolie-

Looking good! I love those shots. The purple against the green of the trees and water really pops you out of the picture since you're so vibrant but brings the picture together since their all cool colors. Blah, blah, blah my art student side is showing.

Anyways bought some fabric-tac. I'll be trying it on my socks now. Wish me luck! I'll be back in an hour with results.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #514 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:12:08 pm »

thanks. I still like the other shots better...there is more green in them

At least you are making progress right? It's not like time is running out

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #515 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:16:11 pm »

I finnaly got my hair done for Debbito! I just need to get the back and my bangs cut the right way. I was thinking of makeing my Jasdero do it for me, so I could tell everyone at the con Jasdero cuts Debbito's hair. Sence It kind of seems that way. xD
I got half of his pants done also and I'm ordering the contacts and doing his shirt so I'm atleast......80% done? 8D

I finnished Sakon already but I can only bring him to Sakuracon.

As for Mizune I got the zippers, fabric and elastic so all I have to do is start on everything. 8D Woo!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #516 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:16:57 pm »

@Nikkiolie-
Well...all of the costumes are for Sakuracon so it's getting a little close. I wouldn't worry so much but I still have to finish two of my costumes and two of my boyfriends costumes after I'm done with White Mage. I'll just have to work my ass off during spring break.

And oh lord, that green is gorgeous. I need to go wander around the area I live in now and get some photos because green portland is a lot better then the dead desert of Central Oregon.

yeah then I guess you don't have a whole lot of time >_>

I know right? That green is so perfect. I can't wait till spring hits. I would love to get some pictures with the bright flowers and the green leaves again

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #518 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:21:22 pm »

@Nikki:
Sadly at the moment It's actually a maybe. Depending If I can fit him in cause I REALLY want to be him for Kumoricon. I personaly think it turned out pretty epic! I'll take some pics of him soon. ^^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #519 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:48:23 pm »

I would love to see them ^_^

And I hope you can bring it to Kumoricon >_>

KinkyFriedChicken · « **Reply #520 on:** March 12, 2009, 06:51:04 pm »

Lol. I have to fix his wig a bit and get a new tube of lipstick I found out just now.

I'll try my best to squeeze It in the cosplay list somewere. xD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #521 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:33:05 pm »

LTCommanderRichie was right! Fabric-tac is like gold. MY SOCKS ARE FINALLY DONE.

Just the staff and glove cuffs for White Mage and I'm ready for the next costume.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #522 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:38:14 pm »

I am going to work a little more on the cloud wig tonight before the meeting

that's great boogiepop ^_^

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #523 on:** March 12, 2009, 08:40:43 pm »

yay i finished making ulquiorras mask

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #524 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:06:48 pm »

Whoo, I should be doing finals but I decided to work on cosplay instead. My staff is finished getting covered! I need to put a little more paper mache on some problem spots but then I'm good to go onto the gesso stage.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #525 on:** March 13, 2009, 03:42:04 pm »

I'm more then half way done with all of my cosplays for s-con right now which is so exciting. ^_^

right now I just need to get wigs for them all(except one) and contacts for two. :/ oh and a cap gun or a similar gun for jasdero.

I need a few more materials like string for jasdero's pants, black fabric for blair's shoes, and then some misc accessories for certain cosplays. other then that I think I'm going to be done before con and with good costumes as well.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #526 on:** March 14, 2009, 02:26:42 pm »

I ordered my Zat'nik'tel for my Stargate uniform so I don't go weaponless since I couldn't have a P90! By the end of the day I'll have a tactical vest, and I've already got everything else. I can't think of much more than maybe getting a headset, but I might look a little too Backstreet Boys for my own tastes.

Dyed my cloak for Deke a darker tan, so now I'm not a blindingly white-cloaked Bookman jr. and when I get back home I'll remake the duster and gloves so the duster has sleeves and the gloves don't cut off my circulation.

>:3 I suppose not everything is going to pot after all.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #527 on:** March 14, 2009, 02:46:29 pm »

JUST ABOUT FINISHED!

I finished my gloves about an hour ago. I want to redo my wig so it's not so blah, iron the costume and gesso/paint my staff but I'm pretty much done!

Time for some myspace-esque progress pictures. No one ever wants to take a friggin' picture for me so I relay on my mirror.

Mentally Hilarious · « **Reply #528 on:** March 14, 2009, 03:21:37 pm »

Effin' awesome!
You deserve a cookie! (but I ate the last one)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #529 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:34:07 pm »

it looks fantastic ~boogiepop~ You did a wonderful job. I can't wait to see you at Sakuracon now.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #530 on:** March 14, 2009, 06:49:52 pm »

Thanks for the compliments Mentally Hilarious and Nikkiolie :B

I'm hoping to get the wig redone tonight and that the weather will clear up in the next couple days so I can start painting.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #531 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:06:45 pm »

Alright I got some of the gloves now for Cloud. On the one arm that isn't covered up with the sleeve he wears two gloves. One goes up to his elbow and the other stops past his wrist. I'll either just make something for my arm and leave the fingers out of it or I'll buy a longer glove to wear under it

EmAino · « **Reply #532 on:** March 14, 2009, 08:55:17 pm »

I'm making a list of what costumes I'm doing and what I need to fix/make before the con. Not sure that that's really progress though. LOL.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #533 on:** March 14, 2009, 09:10:16 pm »

My friend, who's being link, asked me if I'd make his shield, and I stupidly said yes. I'm gonna carve it I guess.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #534 on:** March 15, 2009, 05:46:27 pm »

@soundninja12
they sell it at unique imports. not sure for how much though. didn't check it. :/

@boogie
That's really awesome! I like the leggings, how you made the top part match the whole outfit. And the gloves look like you bought them. 0_0 I wish I could make costumes that well.

Just bought all my wigs(thank goodness finally!) along with jasdero's cap gun. now I just need to get gold contacts from that Asian kid at my school.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #535 on:** March 15, 2009, 06:30:32 pm »

Thanks tofutakeout. I actually did buy the gloves. They're a pair of isotoners that I made a cuff for and attached.
I'm so glad people like the socks though. It was so frustrating getting those triangles on.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #536 on:** March 15, 2009, 06:54:44 pm »

I understand that frustration. something that seems pretty easy is just taking forever to get done. >_<
I'm going through that right now trying to make jasdero's(D.Gray Man) glove/wrap/bandage things. it's really complicated and time consuming.

Everything looks really well put together. so the hard work really paid off. ^_^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #537 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:12:35 pm »

Received and promptly straightened my wig for my last-minute Lenalee, and the first chance I get I'm gonna dye my younger sister's Lavi wig a darker shade of red and my own Lavi wig a more reddish shade of red.

Still gotta remake the duster for my Lavi, get a pair of shoes for Lenalee, and once they get here make sure that my tactical vest is sized correctly and put together/paint my Zat'nik'tel.

Otherwise I'm nearly done. Thank god.

Trumby · « **Reply #538 on:** March 15, 2009, 08:23:44 pm »

Your counter has a lot of stuff on it, Nikki, haha. Zeh white mage looks good, though!

Also, going to paint my chest armor and backpack for my snowie in the next couple days. I am super lazy or I would take pictures of what I have right now.

I live in an apartment with 3 other girls and that's the only bathroom counter space we have.
Also I demand some pictures of Firo progress once you get your stuff.

Trumby · « **Reply #540 on:** March 15, 2009, 09:46:42 pm »

Haha, I was just messing with you anyway

Though that definitely would explain it.

Also there won't really be a need for them since there's literally nothing that needs to be done to the stuff except hemming the pants and cutting/styling the wig..but fine, fine

Though I am thinking of making that knife he has..hmm. If only I was good with props..haha.

nyahaha · « **Reply #541 on:** March 16, 2009, 07:13:56 pm »

so instead of the mad hatter im makin the white rabbit for the AIW meet up...then back to menchi! i thought of more ideas for the ears, and if anyone knows how to make ears move, then im open for tips! i thought of attaching fishing line from the ears to my collar, but i still need to test it, and to do that i need to make the ears XD

lychee-twist · « **Reply #542 on:** March 16, 2009, 07:26:51 pm »

Whoah. That sounds tricky. I've often tried to mentally figure out how to make a lifesized puppet of some character like Jack Skellington or even Wilt from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. It ends up being too complicated, though, even in my brain.

I've bought near 30 yards of fabric for my costume, and I realized that I bought the wrong color for lining, some sleeve decoration, and that I'm missing red *crycry* I'm debating just dealing with it or spending even MORE money to correct the issue. How frustrating.

that really sucks. ive done something sorta like that, but i bough the wrong amount, and would have had enough, exept the piece i had to cut out was too big. i suppose u cant return it...can u?

lychee-twist · « **Reply #544 on:** March 16, 2009, 10:42:44 pm »

I'm not sure, to be honest. I'm kind of hesitant to since I've already spent a lot on it, and I know at Fabric Depot you only get %50 of your money back. I don't know the return policy at JoAnn's is.

It just feels like I'd really inconvenience them if I returned it, too. I like the people at JoAnn's.

thats true, but it doesnt hurt to ask...maybw ur receipt says? or you can just ask next time you go. then got yet another time to return if you can. i havent ever tried to return fabric... if you bought 30 yards, then i think it would be less inconvienient than if you only bought like three or something. 30 has got to be almost a whole role thing...

lychee-twist · « **Reply #546 on:** March 17, 2009, 09:33:25 pm »

Well, I'm sorry. I should be more specific. It's 30 yards of multiple different colors. The color in question is about 6 yards.

Yeah, that would be very close to a full bolt, I think. I'll check the receipt, though. That's a good idea.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #547 on:** March 18, 2009, 10:42:11 pm »

That's as far as I've gotten. It's like a rainbow got drunk and puked up cotton. I'm debating painting on designs on the fabric, but I'm not sure how long that'll take and if it's worth it.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #548 on:** March 19, 2009, 06:48:10 am »

@lychee
We were going to by that same pattern for a friend for her fuu cosplay for this year but we decided just to follow one of the yukata's I have at home. and wow that's a lot of colors!

I'm so shocked. I bought my wigs just this last Sunday. that's about 3 days ago. I got one wig already and that was yesterday morning. 0_0 It really....surprised me.....but excited me at the same time! <3 everything's coming right along now. :3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #549 on:** March 19, 2009, 08:15:50 am »

lychee that is a good start for now. I am so looking forward to this costume
