I need some little belt like things for the back of Kuja, though that isn't one of my main priorities just yet. I need to finish the rest of it first

I just finished styling an Alto Saotome wig.

I don't even cosplay him, and his sidebangs make me look harbl.

But still, I have an Alto Saotome wig now.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #702 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:22:37 pm »

Kuja costume is pretty much done. I just need to sew on one more sleeve and the costume it's self it done. Once I get the wig though I need to dye it.

Now that it is done I guess I can move on to finishing the kunai for Larxene

Wood putty'd Cassandra's sword. I'm hoping I can have it sanded by tonight, then paint and sculpt and paint the extra bits for it and get the sword done before I leave.

I have my Allen trench coat (I found it at our school rummage sale for 3$, it has the hood and everything! The zipper's broken, but that doesn't matter considering allen's coat has buttons anyways.) and I'm getting some white piping and white fabric tomorrow. My wig should be here soon, I ordered it a little while ago. I wonder why it isn't here already...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #705 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:15:00 pm »

Sanded! And managed to get wood dust in my eyes.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #706 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:54:55 am »

oh no (about the wood dust)

In the process of ordering Kurama wig.
Gonna need to style it when it get's here.

Going shopping today for material.
Going to look for some material that I could make Kurama's wip out of.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #707 on:** June 18, 2009, 01:52:32 pm »

Next, weathering

soundninja12 · « **Reply #708 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:20:28 pm »

*stands up and starts clapping!*
I love it!

Does anyone have any ideas of what I could make Kurama's wip out of.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #709 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:39:40 pm »

Will Kumoricon allow you to have a whip like weapon? If I'm being dumb asking that question then ignore me.
If you don't want it to actually make whip actions you could take high gauge wire and take make a little fabric sheath for it and stuff it with fluff. The wire could be directly attached to the handle and then you can slip it over it and glue it to the handle. Then you could also change the shape of it with out having it be "potentially dangerous". You could also fabric paint the fabric to make it stiffer and have less wrinkles and just attach some of those little things that are on it.

I dunno if that's what you want though :\

soundninja12 · « **Reply #710 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:45:16 pm »

I was thinking that weird floppy foam things that you use to hold up plants. It wouldn't hurt when it hit, and I have no clue how I'm going to do the thorns. Cardboard maybe?
If it was that then I could roll it up, and have them peace bond it like that.

I don't know if the Kumoricon peeps would allow it. You think I should ask some big powerful person?

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #711 on:** June 18, 2009, 02:50:47 pm »

I would just to make sure. I'd hate to hear that you spent time making something and then you weren't allowed to bring it in.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #712 on:** June 18, 2009, 09:27:20 pm »

Nikki that looks amazing. I am so jealous *___*

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #713 on:** June 19, 2009, 12:40:37 am »

If you think that was good, check this out Nikki.

Almost done! I need to weather the sculpty bits and detailing the sharpened edge a bit more but, DAMN I really like how this looks.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #714 on:** June 19, 2009, 09:21:43 am »

It looks fantastic, you did a wonderful job.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #715 on:** June 19, 2009, 09:25:54 am »

Thanks! Now I don't get to do any cosplay stuff for a week and a half while I go to Iowa. Hopefully I can get Victreebel done before the dance when I get back!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #716 on:** June 19, 2009, 09:30:40 am »

I am looking forward do seeing those, I bed it will look fantastic.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #717 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:12:14 am »

Woah!
It looks amazing!

tofutakeout · « **Reply #718 on:** June 19, 2009, 01:07:30 pm »

Now that...Is awesome. You have amazing skills! :0 I wish I was that good. >3<

soundninja12 · « **Reply #719 on:** June 19, 2009, 06:15:02 pm »

My wigs:
Renge (doesn't have the bow in it yet):

Allen Walker wig (need to trim):

Sorry for big pictures.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #720 on:** June 19, 2009, 10:30:34 pm »

The wigs look good! Can't wait to see the whole cosplays!

I need to stop cutting my hair so it'll be long enough for cosplaying as Kyouya...

soundninja12 · « **Reply #721 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:08:24 pm »

*long distance glomps*
I love Kyouya!

I'm cutting the Allen wig tomorrow morning, and maybe I'll go and get a piece of pink fabric to put in my Renge wig.
I need to order my Kurama wig.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #722 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:11:11 pm »

Alright Kuja costume is done, I just need to get the wig now.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #723 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:12:18 pm »

pictures?
Please?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #724 on:** June 19, 2009, 11:17:48 pm »

Well there isn't much difference from the ones posted earlier, though I think I posted them somewhere else.

Gah!
Yeah, and you'll have two Kyouyas at con!
Okay...Now I'm afraid......

soundninja12 · « **Reply #726 on:** June 20, 2009, 08:55:27 pm »

You should be.
I'm not only a Kyouya fangirl, I'm cosplaying Renge, the ultimate fangirl.
My friend told me too, because she says that I'm like her sometimes.
Yeah, now you're scared.
I would be.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #727 on:** June 20, 2009, 09:14:39 pm »

Allen wig has been trimmed!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #728 on:** June 21, 2009, 11:13:23 am »

I really need to get my Kuja wig. I feel.....like something is missing since I haven't been able to work on costumes. O.O I can finish up the kunai. *runs off*

tofutakeout · « **Reply #729 on:** June 23, 2009, 11:56:39 pm »

cosplay work days are nice. got a lot done.

Worked on Blossom's vest since our blossom was over. and I got more fabric for some of my other cosplays. I have fabric glue! yay! xD

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #730 on:** June 24, 2009, 12:01:51 am »

*looks in mirror*
Well, it's gonna be a while before I can show off Kyouya...
And I REALLY need to work on my other cosplays...Even with two months still to go, they're gonna go fast...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #731 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:02:26 am »

I painted the rest of the kunai for Larxene. I just need to add a gloss over the top and they will be done. The blades aren't the straightest but they will alright.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #732 on:** June 24, 2009, 07:41:11 am »

almost everythings done o.o;

rikku needs touch ups and cups
beryl needs new nails
princess serinity needs to be hemmed high and altered slightly

but bluerhapsody, yuna, and ditto are all done ^^

nyahaha · « **Reply #733 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:01:47 am »

wow...I could never finish this early...

I was looking aroung the internet, and saw some really awsome Red XIII cosplayers, so I designed my own and I think I am going to make that cosplay. Over all I think It will be pretty easy, because I won't be looking for orange paint stuff to paint myself (I'm alergic).

I have some furry fabric that I was hoping to use, but I didn't know if It was the right color. It's kind of a fox color, but darker. Do You think that will work?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #734 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:30:12 pm »

Damn, I have no clue who to cosplay as!
I'm going to con with 3 other girls, and for 2 I'm being their partner, but the last one, I'm not sure.
The two people she has picked out for sure are Roxas and Yuki Nagato.
So, I was wondering, do you guys think I should be Axel, Sora, or Mikuru Asahina?

Plus, decided that I do not have enough patience to sew on all of the lines on Allen coat.
Decided to buy it and fix it so it's perfect.
Ok,
that is all.

(Please answer Nayahaha's question before mine, if you know the answer)

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #735 on:** June 24, 2009, 08:32:54 pm »

mya: if you had a picture id be happy to give my oppinion

sound: have you posted a picture of youself? im sarting to get into peoples face types with thier costumes. but i also love mikiru so im elaning toward that, theres ALOT of axel cosplayers

nyahaha · « **Reply #736 on:** June 24, 2009, 10:03:42 pm »

ok. I can get a picture Friday. (the fabric is at my mom's)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #737 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:57:53 am »

Alright I am getting my organization jacket today so Larxene is now 100% done. I finished up the Kunai, I have the pants, gloves, and boots (they don't have the same design at the top because I don't want to ruin a pair of boots I have). I can't wait to see the jacket :3

Alright I got it and now time for some pictures.

It fits really really well and I love how soft it is. I will be very very hot though x.x And there is one minor thing that I need to fix. The top of the zipper is fraying so I need to cut the frayed edges off and seal it with some glue and it should work just fine.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #738 on:** June 26, 2009, 04:54:29 pm »

I must say that I really dislike Kingdom Hearts, but I love the Organization jackets because of the huge ass zipper. That must be so fun to zip up and down.

Whether I like the game or not though, the jacket looks really well made. I'm glad it all turned out well for you Nikki.

Here is the fur. Just imagine it a shade or two browner.My camera wouldn't agree with me >.>

and here is Red XIII

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #740 on:** June 26, 2009, 09:27:30 pm »

actually the zipper is quite hard to move. I haven't quite gotten it down yet.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #742 on:** June 27, 2009, 12:29:51 pm »

Geeze everything seems to be coming all at once. I got my wig for Kuja today. I am attaching the feather now. I don't know if it really needs a whole lot of dye. It doesn't look like it.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #743 on:** June 27, 2009, 12:33:40 pm »

Yay, glad for you, Nikki.

I don't have my camera right now, otherwise I would post some progress pics of Gun-Arm 2.0, maybe later today or tomorrow, though. Progress is going smoothly, fortunately. I thought I'd have snags since I couldn't remember what order I did things last time I made this, but I'm remembering alright, heh.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #744 on:** June 27, 2009, 12:43:32 pm »

I guess I can post a picture of the wig. I really want to get pictures of the whole costume. If I did I wouldn't show those

I am saving Kuja for the con.

oops forgot the picture ^_^;;;

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #745 on:** June 27, 2009, 01:21:40 pm »

Looks pretty good, Nichole. Do you plan to do any coloring of either the wig or the feather? The only suggestion I have is that from what I've seen of Kuja, I think the wig and feather are more of the same tint; I'd say the feather needs to be a bit more silvery and the wig needs to be a bit more purply, just subtle tinges for both.

But even if you don't do that, it looks pretty good anyway.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #746 on:** June 27, 2009, 01:47:26 pm »

Yeah I know. I ordered the dye about two weeks ago. When it gets here I will dye it a more purple color. I don't think it needs a lot of color though.

Hey nikkiolie, I just wanted to congratulate you-- they ran your Cloud pic in the new issue of Cosmode! <3
I LOVE that magazine and it always excites me when I see people I recognize from K-con & the like in there!! ^_^
Awesome!!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #748 on:** June 28, 2009, 10:29:15 pm »

Yeah I saw that. I was very excited about it. I am going to buy it as soon as I have the money for it. x.x

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #749 on:** June 30, 2009, 03:38:33 pm »

I made my hair thingies for the Meru costume:

They change size and color in the anime, but I think these will work. The balls I used are actually those foam things that suck up water and you can throw at people, and I got them for a dollar.

I was going for like these:

(but then you can see that they change size:)

I still need to play around with how high to put the pigtails, and where to clip in the hair thingies.
