Hmmm *scratches beard* Interesting, heh.

I just love their story, of her and Shuyin, it is one of those beautifully tragic fables.

Got a friend coming over today and we are going to work, work, work on our Gijinkas (She already has almost all of her Meowth done, I need to catch up).
I'll post progress tonight.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #852 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:38:08 am »

Good luck! Any particular aspect of your costume you think you'll be working on?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #853 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:56:42 am »

I'm going to be finishing up my head leaf and hopefully start on my dress. The pattern I'm using for Victreebel is the same I used for my White Mage dress so I'm hoping that I can be at least half or completely finished with the construction of the dress by tonight.

Tidus need too many updates to take -shakes fist at bought cosplay- blast it all.
I've heard a ton of people are making Gijinkas this year. I cant wait to see them.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #855 on:** July 06, 2009, 01:13:44 pm »

Sounds like a solid plan. I'm really eager to see the finished product.

Truth.

Thank you Fry's....Mana Potions and Health Potions! I plan to bring a couple of each for the Mock-Battle.

Or if I feel real inventive, find a more fitting durable bottle and color some liquid myself.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #858 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:17:16 pm »

OOOOOOH that might be something I can do

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #859 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:18:50 pm »

i should make a potion bottle for next year. and i cant "fix" lenne until after kumori but shes fine for now. oh! chibi oro, i need cancer tape

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #860 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:25:06 pm »

That'd be cool if you made something, Nikki. Could be your Megalixer in battle, heh

nikkiolie · « **Reply #861 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:36:44 pm »

I'll take a look at some craft stores for some fancy bottles.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #862 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:39:51 pm »

Yeah, I usually scope antique stores or Goodwill for bottles, but haven't found anything particularly nice yet. I don't want to use glass either, so that rules out a lot.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #863 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:54:53 pm »

O_O Why Do you Need teh Cancertape???

nikkiolie · « **Reply #864 on:** July 06, 2009, 02:57:00 pm »

Oh lord....there is a picture of my Kuja costume now....I may post it...I may not.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #865 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:14:00 pm »

im gona bring potions for my sora and axel cosplay

nikkiolie · « **Reply #866 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:28:34 pm »

Well I really want to post it. Not the best picture in the world but it gives you an idea of how the costume looks.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #867 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:35:10 pm »

wats cancer tape

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #868 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:57:04 pm »

The costume looks really good, Nikki. You did a great job on that wig, really matches the tint of the costume and looks like they came together.

That's binding under the top, right? How is that going to play out when you wear the costume during Kumoricon? (I mean, is it going to be like that or are you going to tuck it up or hide it or something?)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #869 on:** July 06, 2009, 03:58:36 pm »

I am going to use a different method which involves tape going around my back. The front part of my chest will be bare.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #870 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:03:48 pm »

Is that by chance something Marie used in some of her pictures? Just thinking how that'd work. Anyway, not important, heh.

Definitely looks good though. Will certainly be a killer to see in person (or with magic effects coming from your fingertips in video, haha).

nikkiolie · « **Reply #871 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:04:46 pm »

Yeah the same thing she did.

I can't wait to get better pictures of it though :3

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #872 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:05:52 pm »

Yeah, some strong shots would really bring out your costumes qualities. Any settings you have in mind for Kuja?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #873 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:07:14 pm »

I have no clue. It has been too long since I played the game.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #874 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:10:15 pm »

Alright, well if you get any ideas and need someone to take pictures of you, I would be glad to help you out.

And if you ask me, places with lots of tree roots, forested areas (like the Iifa Tree) could be great settings. Not that I can think of anything like that off the top of my head, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #875 on:** July 06, 2009, 04:13:45 pm »

The park I live in front of has some spots like that. I'll check it out sometime.

I'm about to start making my Red xiii shorts and tail. I just need to figure out how I'm gonna make the fire on the end of his tail...

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #879 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:21:03 pm »

FOAM FOAMY FOAM FOAM! >.> or tissue paper but that wouldnt last very long... craft foam makes nice flames

nyahaha · « **Reply #880 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:22:55 pm »

foam could work, but I was thinking that a plush one of felt or one made out of that meshy tutu stuff would work too xD I would break the tissue paper before the end of the day xD

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #881 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:27:11 pm »

hmmm tulle could very well work, im just obsesed with foam

nyahaha · « **Reply #882 on:** July 06, 2009, 05:32:37 pm »

XD really? I couldn't tell. my mom might take me back up to joanns for supplys. She said that tulle would be the least messy xD I always make a mess when hot gluing foam together.

Didn't get as much done as I wanted to today but it was a start. I got some really nice fabric in exchange for the stuff I ended up returning. I managed to get my head leaf 80% done. I just need to add the little leaf at the end of the vine and to paint the top of the leaf. I also got all of my fabric washed, cut out, penciled on the lines, and started catching the edges of all of my pieces. Only problem was the darker it got outside, the harder it was to see the lines on the fabric. Yellow on yellow isn't a good idea, I ended up getting some runs in the fabric because I was dumb. I have some extra to re-cut out the front of my dress though, hopefully I have it put together by tomorrow.

I got my gijinka wig!!! =D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v737/Mei_Long/cosplay/bulbasaur/3e4fd14d.jpg

*story copied from original post in pkmn thread because it's kinda funny* Oh man, when I stepped out of the bathroom with it on our dog BARKED at me like I was a stranger (who suddenly appeared in the middle of the house). HE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE ME. And then once everyone stopped rolling on the floor in laughter I was able to talk to him and he got soooo confused. Pobre perrito was confused why the weirdo with the super bright hair was talking like Ren who has dark hair. Even as I was petting him he wouldn't look at me, took him a while to get used to it, then I took it off and showed him it wasn't a part of me. >>; I don't think I'll be wearing that wig around the house much, I don't favor getting bitten.

bucket_stalker · « **Reply #888 on:** July 06, 2009, 10:51:51 pm »

cool wig and poor dog might have been scared a little of the wig

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #889 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:02:24 pm »

So cute! Good choice on the wig Mei Long!

EDIT: Ah! I just noticed your little fangs too! I can't wait to see your costume. At con we can be Pokemon fang buddies since I'll be buying some too haha.

oslapedo · « **Reply #890 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:03:19 pm »

I love that wig! You leaf Poke'mon are doing super awesome~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #891 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:05:24 pm »

I really like the wig too

Mei Long · « **Reply #892 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:17:09 pm »

^^ Thank yoooooou everyone~! I am so happy with it and it has made me extremely excited about working on my cosplay (which got a little fizzled out this past week while I was dealing with paying for school in the Fall. School, you squish everything. x_X)

Boogie, we should totally be pokemon fang buddies! XD I've had them for a long time now so it was a perk that Bulbasaur has little sharp teeth - I adore those fangs, they make dreams come true. (No seriously, I wanted large canines as a child, hehe)

Grass/Poison pokemon unite! B)

TheTerribleTrivium · « **Reply #893 on:** July 06, 2009, 11:37:46 pm »

Wow everyone's costumes are looking so good already. Makes me feel slow but inspired. I only started getting materials together today. I won't even be able to start until the styrene I ordered arrives.

Chibiorochimaru · « **Reply #894 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:35:52 am »

Hurm, I'm almost done with my jacket for Valor form Sora, I just need to go buy some black pants and red fabric to start on the pants, and a wiiig.

I also want to remake Naminés dress, but I don't think I'll have time to. Also wig, needs one, ugh.

Mrowr, i think I'm going to keep my 3rd cosplay a secret (Everybodies doing it XD)
