*hasn't started on Kumoricon cosplays yet*

Hee, hee, hee!

Alright I was working on making my shoulder armor for Albel look less like fabric and more like armor so I gave it a coat or resin. I wasn't sure how that was going to work out but I gave it a shot anyway. When I woke up this morning it has the same texture as before so I tried sanding it and it got a lot smoother. I painted one and it looks great. I have to go to work soon but when I get back I'll do the other one and we should be ready to go for the meet-up tomorrow morning

MY DEIDARA WIG CAME!!!!
I'm so excited! the color is almost perfect! I don't think I'll have to dye it at all!

annddddd I'm going to make the eye camera and 1 tongue next weekend [while I make my friend his tobi mask] I'm only putting a tongue on my left hand, since I'm right handed and I need to be able to open doors XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #654 on:** May 16, 2009, 10:52:16 am »

That is what I did

I'll post pictures of it latter. I was quite happy with the way the tongue came out.

Hidamari · « **Reply #655 on:** May 16, 2009, 11:05:44 am »

I'm almost done with Teto for tomorrow! And then I'll start in my other costumes.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #656 on:** May 16, 2009, 05:45:30 pm »

Finishing up the other should armor now. I hope it will be done before dinner. The I think I will work on the kunai a little

Sutie · « **Reply #657 on:** May 16, 2009, 10:25:20 pm »

Awe! You're so freakin' adorable!

I'm nearly done with my princess pluto. Can finish up this weekend.... but the weather here is so great!!! ^^ I've had to get out and enjoy it!
Will also need to find someone to take pictures of me when I'm done. That's a little more difficult for me than most.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #658 on:** May 16, 2009, 10:39:26 pm »

One of Larxene's kunais looks great. I am waiting for a little paint to dry then I am going to put a coat of gloss over it to give it a little shine. The others are going to need a little work.

Hidamari · « **Reply #659 on:** May 16, 2009, 11:28:54 pm »

Lol i look evil and we're both too laxy to get out our wigs xD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #660 on:** May 22, 2009, 01:28:48 pm »

My sword for Cassandra thus far...

I still need to put more wood putty on it and sand it before I do anything else. After that I have another ring to make for the hilt and a doo-dad for the bottom of the sword and I can finally paint it. Then I just need to make it look like worn metal and add the blue ribbon to the hilt.
I want to finish this done, get my shield in the process of sanding, and start/finish my boots for Cassandra before the quarter of school I'm currently in is over.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #661 on:** May 22, 2009, 04:09:44 pm »

WOW that looks fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I got some pictures of one of the finished kunai. Sorry that it is blurry but you get the idea.

for those of you who don't know what it is supposed to look like here is a reference image

Its not perfect but it isn't horrible. I am trying a new strategy with another one. I hope that works out better.

xo_aria · « **Reply #662 on:** May 22, 2009, 08:52:15 pm »

I ordered my contacts today, and I fixxed a couple seams on Kaltz's pants.
Like always, I'm doing everything little by little. XD
It's like ritual for me to finish my costumes the night because it's the only thing I can find to do to rid of my pre-con jitters.
It's either that or run a couple miles which I had to do the night before Sakuracon this year... >.>
Ohh the leg cramps.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #663 on:** May 22, 2009, 09:44:20 pm »

This weekend is going to be really work for me. I'm going to stay up every night working on my costumes until I can't anymore.(amongst other things) 3 day weekends sure are nice. :3

I already have things cut out for a lot of my cosplays I just need to put everything together. lol

Bleh...I only just now finished my general idea for how I'm going to structure my Domo costume......BLEH. I need to find a captain hammer shirt, and I need to decide whether or not to go as pedobear. Decisions, decisions...

I would say that your pedobear idea is a no. I was talking to Kylite and some others at the Sakura festival about how Pedobear is not ever going to be allowed at Kumoricon.

Also @Sugarlat- AH! Such a cute Sheryl!

Really? Okay then, throw that idea out the window. I'll just stick with Domo-kun, Captain Hammer, and A Panda.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #665 on:** May 24, 2009, 12:01:05 am »

I can has Grave of Maria progress. Got part of the BJD arm done, and I'll do even more tomorrow.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #666 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:17:00 pm »

I finished another part of the armor for Albel. Still working on the kunai. I may have one more close to being done

iluvshijimi · « **Reply #667 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:18:49 pm »

I just found a nice pair of shoes for my Ciel cosplay at Goodwill yesterday~ They look really nice too, I might just wear them to work sometime, haha.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #668 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:21:24 pm »

That reminds me, I still need to find some better shoes for Cloud x.x

nyahaha · « **Reply #669 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:00:40 pm »

I just spent 2 hours looking for stuff at Value Village!

They are having a 50% off everything sale today, and I found A shirt for Rhyme, but I have to dye it. And I also found a blue pleated skirt that I can cut off for a school girl skirt if need be. And then I found an awsome tie...other than that I have made no progress except for pining pattern pieces for Rhyme's shorts.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #670 on:** May 26, 2009, 09:23:33 am »

I also altered my Temari skirt. I'm not sure if I mentioned this already or not. But I will also need to make the shirt tighter and make the bow bigger, both of with wont take too long to do

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #671 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:16:43 pm »

The arm is almost finished. Just need to sand, seal and paint it. Then you all get pictures, preferably with me wearing my gloves, which means not for a while yet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #672 on:** May 26, 2009, 07:20:33 pm »

Thats fine. I sure it will look awesome.

nyahaha · « **Reply #673 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:13:24 pm »

I just remembered that I finished Rhyme's hat on Sunday. And today, I cut out the pattern pieces for Rhymes shortalls and washed the fabric for Satoko's dress. I should finish Rhyme's pants on Friday, and have most of Satoko done by Sunday.

On Saturday, I'm gonna go get my hair cut shorter, and layered more so it maches Satoko and Rhyme's hair better.

UGH. I wish I had known about that. D;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #675 on:** May 28, 2009, 08:43:50 pm »

I started working on my Twilight Town Larxene and it is going well. I got the jacket done, have the skirt, I also got the cover for the skirt made. When I get home I will attach it to the skirt. I also need to make boot covers.

nyahaha · « **Reply #676 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:48:09 pm »

Uhg, I really should be working on Satoko right now, but it's too hot to work. I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #677 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:50:21 pm »

I wish I could get my hair done but my mom is making me wait.

But I got the skirt done for Twilight Town Larxene. It doesn't look exactly like the picture but close. I may work a little on the boots tonight but we'll see.

nyahaha · « **Reply #678 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:50:59 pm »

I can't wait to see your finished boots nikki!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #679 on:** May 29, 2009, 04:51:57 pm »

I think those boots may turn out to be really really hard x.x

Ok I don't think the boot covers are going to happen....at least not yet. For now I am going to paint a pair of boots that I have to look like those ones.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #680 on:** June 01, 2009, 06:29:33 pm »

Man I feel so accomplished.

Since school is coming to an end I will soon have tons of time to work on my cosplays. But I've already gotten so much done(not actually costume wise). I already have my future costume line ups planned and I found I already have materials for those future cosplays. And I have gotten more materials needed for cosplays I'm working on now. I feel awesome now! <3 ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #681 on:** June 07, 2009, 09:30:30 pm »

Alright I ordered my Kuja costume and hopefully it will be here by the end of this week. I need to find some reference pictures so I can make a few altercations to it and make it look more accurate. I also plan on ordering the wig soon but in order to do that I need to have some money =/

nyahaha · « **Reply #682 on:** June 07, 2009, 09:39:39 pm »

I bought dye and iron on stuff for Rhyme's Shirt today. Tomorrow I will dye the shirt and finish the shorts. I also got some silver clay so now I can add the little crown thing to the top of my bell, and then paint it. That will be done either tomorrow or Tuesday. Then I will hopefully print out the iron ons Tuesday and Iron the design on Rhyme's shirt. I also got new high top converse today that can substitute as Rhyme's shoes until I find something better.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #683 on:** June 07, 2009, 10:01:55 pm »

I also need to get some long gloves and yellow dye for those.

nyahaha · « **Reply #684 on:** June 08, 2009, 04:40:34 pm »

I'm off to the basement to dye Rhyme's shirt! I just hope I don't mess up...

--------------------------------------
I think it turned out ok, but I won't know until it comes out of the washer and dryer. I think it might be a little oranger than it's supposed to be, but that was my bad. I kept adding more orange dye to the pink.

Kuro_Chi · « **Reply #685 on:** June 08, 2009, 09:49:57 pm »

okay another update! lol

Yuuki Cross - DONE! XD
Dead Raito (Light) - DONE! XD except i need to fix the pants...but that is minor.
Itachi - i have the wig! >w<

nikkiolie · « **Reply #686 on:** June 10, 2009, 05:30:03 pm »

I got my costume so I need to make a few adjustments to a few things and we should be good. I also need to test run it. The top is a lot shorter then I thought it was so I need to see if my binding method is going to work or not =/

Kuro_Chi · « **Reply #687 on:** June 10, 2009, 10:33:59 pm »

ya my raito pants are about 6 inches to small in the waist. everything else is perfect. its just the waist. lol so i have to fix it. XP

nikkiolie · « **Reply #688 on:** June 10, 2009, 11:11:14 pm »

I was so happy that the bottom to the outfit fit well. It was an inch smaller than me so I was nervous but it fits perfectly.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #689 on:** June 14, 2009, 02:19:31 pm »

Alright the rest of the shoe detailing is drying right now. Once that is done I'll paint it and find a way to attach it. I want it so that it is removable. I have an idea though. I also order the wig and that should be here around the beginning of July. I got the feathers as well and those are partially pained. I need to give them a slight purple tint and they will be good. Other then that I need to finish up the belt that goes across the chest, add gold ribbon to the skirt, and do one little thing with the sleeves and I am done. It should take long at all, just waiting for things to dry and what not x.x

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #690 on:** June 14, 2009, 03:39:54 pm »

I have made absolutely no progress besides moving things around my room and getting distracted by Macross Frontier. HOWEVER, soon as I get back from Japan I'll finish Maria, get the jump on Beast and give into a silly whim and make a Ranka Lee dress for my little sister.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #691 on:** June 14, 2009, 10:29:08 pm »

Yeah I got distracted with cleaning my room up as well >_>

but the actually costume for Kuja should be about done tomorrow. At least that is what I am hoping. I'll post pictures

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #692 on:** June 14, 2009, 10:40:17 pm »

I brought my sewing machine to the repair shop to get serviced. I'm out $100 but at least my bobbin will stop hitching and I won't be afraid to sew on a speed higher then one.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #693 on:** June 14, 2009, 10:47:15 pm »

Alright I will get the skirt done tonight. That will be less I have to do tomorrow

nikkiolie · « **Reply #694 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:24:13 pm »

Got some pictures up. I still have two more things to do. I may do one of them now but we'll see.

Hidamari · « **Reply #695 on:** June 16, 2009, 08:44:19 pm »

Whoa! Someone's been working hard!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #696 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:14:46 pm »

Well the only thing I made was the detailing on the boots, the rest of it I bought. I can't sew well enough to do this x.x

Hidamari · « **Reply #697 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:27:46 pm »

I see then. My fault for not following this thread. It still looks really good, though!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #698 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:31:39 pm »

Thanks ^_^

My Organization coat should be getting here soon. I am so looking forward it it :3

tofutakeout · « **Reply #699 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:56:34 pm »
