woah! that looks hard!!! good luck and it is a good start! im looking forward to seeing it!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #553 on:** March 20, 2009, 03:19:27 pm »

I really need to see more than just the first episode. I just ever had any time. Maybe during spring break I will get around to watching some of it

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #554 on:** March 21, 2009, 12:19:04 pm »

FINALS ARE STILL GOING.

I'm freaking out, I have so much to do. I bought another wig head yesterday for easy Sakuracon Transportation and I ordered new shoes for my Miria costume.
http://www.payless.com/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?&TLC=Womens&SLC=WomensCasuals&BLC=WomensPromoFlats&Width=Regular&ItemCode=63972&LotNumber=065619&Type=Adult&Popularity=235&DescriptiveColor=Red

Not exactly like the ones in the shoe (I was having a helluva time finding heels that weren't over 3 inches in plain red) but these ones fit her dress so much! And I'd wear them outside of cosplay anyways.

Anyways, back to finals.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #555 on:** March 21, 2009, 02:25:29 pm »

YAY for finals being done. I need to style my wig a little more, but it will be ready for tomorrow's meet

Sugarlat · « **Reply #556 on:** March 25, 2009, 07:53:30 pm »

I feel freaking amazing. I finished a full secret cosplay in one day [/cheers]
But none of my other cosplays are done XDD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #557 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:29:14 pm »

FINALS ARE DONE!
I CAN WORK ON THINGS NOW!
HOORAY

Tomorrow I get to meet with my cosplay group for the first time ever outside of a convention to have a work day.

GOGOGOGOGO SOUL CALIBUR

nikkiolie · « **Reply #558 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:52:43 pm »

isn't it good to have no class work or tests? I still have one thing I need to do with my costume >_> I should finish that tomorrow.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #559 on:** March 26, 2009, 02:31:05 pm »

I'm officially 100% finished with my Stargate uniform. Now I need to get off my arse and finish the upgrades to Deke and get the shoes for Lenalee, and I'm golden. I also need to make a good twenty or so replacement arrows for Esther and get some more lace, but that's about it.

Hmmm, come to think of it I kinda need to make the shirt for my sister's itty bitty!Lavi costume. Eh, I'll do it when I have time.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #560 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:46:28 pm »

So I have to remake my Cassandra skirt for the FORTH TIME. I think this will be good, I've finally got it figured out. I got the top cut out too today and made the base for my shield.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #561 on:** March 27, 2009, 07:36:47 pm »

I... have pants. Pants with elastic bunches at the legs.

I feel so accomplished.

Although I did take a look at the kimono pattern, and ohmygod it looks hard.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #562 on:** March 27, 2009, 08:49:05 pm »

So me and my mom took a look at my Miria dress today. Turns out if I want to remake the sleeves I'll have to reconstruct the top of the dress and if I take up the ruffle there will be no space between that and the other ruffle. So all I need to fix on my dress is do a little stitching at the top to fix something that ripped and style my wig. Also I restyled my White Mage wig last night and it looks great. Time to keep going on Cassandras top!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #563 on:** March 27, 2009, 08:52:43 pm »

Go, boogie, go! Power through that!

On this front, I made yet another absolute beginner's mistake and bought two patterns of bigger sizes than I needed. Friendly reminder: keep your receipts for your patterns in case you have to return them. I almost had to pay $11 to switch out a pattern I bought for $2.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #564 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:31:07 pm »

.....I'm deciding to do only one con a year. :/ I like being able to have more free time. >3>

well I got Blair's dress almost completely done. I just need to attach the bell, fix up a few hem's and I'm good to go. Then I just need to finish her hat(1/2 done with it) and make her thigh high shoes. ;3 oh and style her wig when it gets here.

update: no longer doing jasdero. :p(pending)

Lucia is almost done as well. I just need to get her wig and style it and then re-make her pants.

secret cosplay is almost done as well! <3 just need to get one final piece and I'm golden. ^_^

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #565 on:** March 29, 2009, 12:57:52 am »

I'm working hard and slowly getting things done. I had to rip apart my Cassandra shirt halfway through the day and start over again. It's looking a lot better then it was earlier but stress and being tired convinced me to go to bed after I sewed up where the zipper is suppose to go.
I have so much to do before Sakuracon it's not funny. I think if I can get the shirt done by tomorrow and if the skirt only takes a day the rest will be smooth sailing.

nyahaha · « **Reply #566 on:** March 29, 2009, 11:00:36 am »

so its not really a cosplay but it is related... last night i started crocheting a zubat. and i was working on the wings and i gave me ideas for the real wings for my cosplay. all i need is a bunch of thick wire, a heap of electrical tape and some sort of fabricy stuffs.

i also drew the layout for my zubat gijinka and i figured out all i need to do/get for it. now alls i have to do is wait for next weekend so i can get enough allowance and take a trip to joanns! >.<

Hidamari · « **Reply #567 on:** March 29, 2009, 12:33:25 pm »

Wow I feel worthless. I haven't posted on here in ages xD its a sign I need to work

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #568 on:** March 31, 2009, 09:23:04 pm »

Miria is 100% for Sakuracon now.

White Mages staff is getting gesso'd thanks to boyfriend.
Cassandras shield is getting gesso'd as well, the sword has been sanded, the greek has been written on it and the sculpty bits are made, the shirt buttons are almost done and I'm thinking about starting the collar soon.

Work, work, work.

EDIT
BAW I had to drop Cassandra until Kumoricon >: I have to figure out what I'm doing for my extra day at Sakuracon now.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #569 on:** April 01, 2009, 07:33:08 pm »

yay for working on cosplay at school! 8D

I loved how people were like "what are you sewing?" and I'm "pants." -still intently sewing. XD They didn't know what to do after that.

But now I can officially say I am 99.9 percent done with one cosplay(I just need to get the wig in the mail)

then it's 3 more to finish. >_> at least I'm more then half way done with all of them.

You could work on Teto 8D

Right now I'm just saving up money to order my Ashford uniform, and I've been styling a bunch of wigs for me and my friends. That's all, just small stuff.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #571 on:** April 02, 2009, 03:56:26 pm »

Sand Staffs (Mages)
Spraypaint Staffs (Mages)
Buy new gloves and hem them (Miria)
Make Hat (Black Mage)
Remake Vest (Issac)
Repair Bear Slippers tails (PJBuri)

Make Spurs (Issac)
Play around with wig more (Miria)
Make Baccano! Chocolate Bars

*Edit GAH! That list thing won't go away no matter how many times I edit my post.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #572 on:** April 04, 2009, 08:44:54 am »

Boogie, you realize that white undergarments can be seen through a white dress if the fabric is even just barely thin enough, right? It makes the white of the dress a brighter shade of white than the rest of the dress, which is over the body and therefore has a fleshy tone under it. Fleshy tone undergarments, on the other hand, make the entire dress match itself.

I considered cosplaying Namine once. I showed my mom the design and this is exactly what she told me. : D just thought you ought to know!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #573 on:** April 04, 2009, 09:17:30 am »

Oh god, thanks for that info. I'll try on my stuff today and hopefully it won't show through D:

nyahaha · « **Reply #574 on:** April 04, 2009, 12:53:55 pm »

woot! i just went a bunch of places, and i got pants and a shirt for mikuo and looked at patterns for my other cosplays. I also got turqoise bias tape and fabric(for the tye)

All i have left to do for mikuo is modify the shirt and pants, buy a wig, find shoes, make the arm things, and make the headphones...gosh that actually sounds like alot now that i list it, but the first 4 things will be easy.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #575 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:31:33 pm »

Finished my staff and my boyfriends for Black and White Mage and finished his vest for Issac!
Neither of us are pleased with the heads of our staffs so we're going to be ripping them off and redoing them before Kumoricon. Now I need to start working on the brim of his hat, which looks really awkward at the moment...I hope it turns out well! Making hat's definatly isn't my strong point.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #576 on:** April 04, 2009, 06:21:42 pm »

my wigs are all done for the most part. :3

Blair's dress is a go(just needs to be starched), her shoes need to be made(I have everything now though), her hat is still evil, my secret cosplay still needs thigh highs and leg warmers. NEEEED THEEEEMMMM~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #577 on:** April 04, 2009, 06:28:52 pm »

My boyfriends Black Mage hat turned out great. Unfortunately, I have nothing but a webcam at the moment so all I have is crappy grainy pictures.

Before the hat was in near completion...

Just an idea of how big the brim is on me...
The brim is also adjustable from wires and stuff I stuck in it.

and here is it almost finished, I just have to add a strip of colored fabric around the base to cover up where I glued the fabric at.

Just a few more small things and I'm set for Sakuracon!

EDIT Also this was my first time even attempting at making a hat. I'm really friggin' proud of myself.

Trumby · « **Reply #578 on:** April 04, 2009, 09:24:30 pm »

@boogiepop Ohh, nice hat! I like it! Oh and that wig in the background is my Firo wig. Lawl at messy room.

Strapping = like 90% finished on my snowie.

Snowtrooper close to being done. Ignore that strap that is hanging down..I forgot to cut it before taking the pics <.<

nyahaha · « **Reply #579 on:** April 04, 2009, 10:49:40 pm »

i just finished modifying mikuo's shirt and i made his tie. *happy dance* should i post a picture? i can put on the pants for mikuo, too, but they arent finished yet.

As long as I can find the vinyl for the cowl tomorrow I will have it at Sakura-con.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #586 on:** April 06, 2009, 08:29:33 am »

Alright I got all my costumes finished last night. I am ready to go to sakuracon now

HAVE FUN!!! i wish i could go...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #588 on:** April 06, 2009, 06:51:32 pm »

I am done with all my costumes too!
Well I still need to spray paint two things but I left the paint at my boyfriends house so I can't do that until Wednesday.
But that's easy stuff~

ladyknightsgrace · « **Reply #589 on:** April 06, 2009, 09:29:45 pm »

I kinda have an in-progress pic so I'll try to post...I'm trying to be yuuki kuran :/ Sorry about bad photo quality<--poor lighting and old, old mirror

comments/critiques?

tofutakeout · « **Reply #590 on:** April 06, 2009, 09:35:43 pm »

oooh I like it so far. :3 you made the whole thing yourself?

btw what year were you planning on being marik from yugioh? (sorry for side topic) >_>

agh crap! forgot I need to be working on my own cosplays. -sews like the wind-

ladyknightsgrace · « **Reply #591 on:** April 06, 2009, 09:55:04 pm »

*looks away in shame* no, I ended up buying it cause I noticed there were lots of details that I might not be able to do myself.

Idk really, probably whenever my friend decides to do Bakura. I cosplay for fun as my hobby; I love to sew, so I have around 20ish cosplays though I've only been cosplaying for 2? years. I'm not good at much else, just mediocre.

I think for kcon09 I'll go as Neliel, Sena, and Anise (finished making it feb. '08, but the group I was going w/ died)...at various photoshoots I may pull out yuuki, haku, my universal bleach vice-captain (yachiru, hinamori, or nanao)

tofutakeout · « **Reply #592 on:** April 06, 2009, 09:57:00 pm »

x3 its alright it still looks good. You make a pretty good yuuki.

would you possibly consider doing it 2010? 8D

ladyknightsgrace · « **Reply #593 on:** April 06, 2009, 10:09:30 pm »

it's always under consideration...at the moment all 4 of my WIP's are almost done...I just don't like going alone, perhaps if there's a group? Plus there's never enough days

I just need to hem marik's shirt and style the wig some more. Sena's hair needs more astro boy gravity-defyingness, somehow.... Nel--need to hot glue the tsuba on gamuza, which snapped, and add paperclay layer to mask. Yako--need to hot glue her hair clips (I really need to get my own hot glue gun)

tofutakeout · « **Reply #594 on:** April 06, 2009, 10:20:24 pm »

Yeah 2010 I'm hoping on getting a group of YGO cosplayers. that's something I'm working on now. And there's maybe be a bakura as well? :3

Yeah I need to do quite a few things for k-con at this point, but one con at a time. -hates s-con so much-

makichan · « **Reply #595 on:** April 07, 2009, 09:32:28 am »

Okay, this is mostly for my sake but I'll share xD
~~shoes~~- done
wig-90%
pants-0%
jacket- 90%
guns-95%
~~skull tie~~-done
shirt-0%

Luckily, all of the hard parts are done. I should have at least two more of these completed by tonight (shirt and pants).

JulianaRose · « **Reply #596 on:** April 07, 2009, 02:51:34 pm »

I'm going as Luna in her human form!

~~Pattern for dress~~
Dress
Underdress
Shoes
Hairstyle
Necklace

I guess you could say I'm about 5% done -_-;; But the costume is so simple it shouldn't take long.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #597 on:** April 07, 2009, 02:55:34 pm »

Adding a little something extra to my Sakuracon cosplay.

Got 5 more to do, but the smell of chocolate is making me sick D:

Man of the Public · « **Reply #598 on:** April 07, 2009, 03:30:12 pm »

That's freaking sweet Boogie.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #599 on:** April 07, 2009, 05:08:29 pm »

One cosplay is completely out of the way.....FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. I never want to wear it again...but I will keep it for sentimental value and also because I'll probably use some of the pieces from it for something else.

And now onto Blair. her costume is so evil it's not even funny. >_>
