Ok. so I may be finished with Archer by tomorrow...I hope. I'll post an image if I can. lol.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1103 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:39:03 am »

I really like your Joshua Sugar!!!!

I hope to work on Red xiii today, but I still need supplies so I may go to Joanns, too.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1104 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:40:04 am »

What do you have left to do for Red, Nya?

nyahaha · « **Reply #1105 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:42:34 am »

I need to find and style a wig, make the shirt, make new shorts because I messed up, figure out what to do for feet (paws or no paws), make the bracelets, and make ears. So basically, I only have the tail done xD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1106 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:45:13 am »

Ooooh, well good luck on all that. I'd suggest paws over feet/hands, but it is your call. If I get any ideas how you could do things or make the work easier, I'll be sure to post 'em.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1107 on:** July 16, 2009, 08:47:42 am »

cool thanks!

I just remembered that Joanns is having a sale on simplicity patterns today through the 18th, so i will also get a new pattern for satoko when I go.

@Mei Long- He wears bike shorts under it though! And being a real trap would be so cool.

Hmmm, I don't know how in shape you are but you could maybe pull off Sin from Overture. As long as a have a flat tummy and an ok looking chest (as weird as that sounds) I think you could do it. Lots of work on that though~

Oh yeah, he does wear bike shorts underneath, huh? Well, I guess that would make the skirt a little less scary...

Ah, he looks cool, though I haven't been in that good of shape since swim team in high school. T^T I wish I had a pool to swim in 5-6 days a week like in high school. But I am definitely going to keep him in mind. The Kroc Center has been finished or is close to being finished sooooo - there is always hope! So that's two more considerations than I had previously for G.G characters! Thanks boogie! =)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1111 on:** July 16, 2009, 02:25:09 pm »

No problem! And you're out of High School? Sorry if you take any offense to that, you just look a lot younger in your avatar then that. The good news is that you will probably age really well. And you should think about doing Guilty Gear cosplay for 2010! I would be great to get a group going.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1112 on:** July 16, 2009, 03:39:30 pm »

o.o a GG group for 2010?! dude can i take part?! i always wanted to be may xD

Mei Long · « **Reply #1113 on:** July 16, 2009, 03:58:31 pm »

Haha, that's okay, no offense taken. =) I would love to be a part of a Guilty Gear group for 2010!! I've wanted to do that for years, haha. Just gotta decide on a character! <3

Ah-ha! We are already gathering interest, boogie! G.G is that awesome. B) It would be cool if you cosplayed May, Chelsea!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1114 on:** July 16, 2009, 04:01:10 pm »

Defiantly Chelsea. I think there's usually a Guilty Gear gathering at every con but they usually are pretty small.

Egads, I'm so excited for '10 now. It's just going to be a handful of cosplays from MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1115 on:** July 16, 2009, 04:39:49 pm »

I went to joanns and got shirt clasps for Red XIII, a pattern for Satoko, fabric for my secret cosplay, and supplies for my comissions.

I also went to Value villiage and found a really cool belt that I could use for red xiii, but it was $10 o.O so I decided that I'm gonna make one instead. I went to a bead store too, and looked for supplies for red XIII's bracelets, but they didn't have anything and are gonna look at the cataloge to see if they can order stuff. But they gave me some beads for the hair for free

Mei Long · « **Reply #1116 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:27:36 pm »

I remember seeing the Guilty Gear cosplayers at K-Con in past years - loooooooved them.

Oooh, sounds like you got a lot of huntin' done, Nya! And those bead people sound really nice! =D

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1117 on:** July 16, 2009, 05:42:43 pm »

yays!!!! <3!!!! now to tudy her costume... hmm.. its good i love orange... colors... xD

Huntress · « **Reply #1118 on:** July 16, 2009, 07:23:47 pm »

G.G.!!!! I eventually wanted to do a Baiken

Maybe I can aim for it next year...

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1119 on:** July 16, 2009, 09:11:34 pm »

Yay, Baiken! You should do it~ She is on my list of Guilty Gear characters I want to do someday as well. I thought I would share, my list goes a little like this...
Default Bridget (DID IT)
Pink Bridget
Falcoon Bridget
Artwork PJ Bridget (DID IT)
Artwork Nightie Bridget (Planned)
Sol Badguy Bridget fanart
Lady Ky Kiske (Planned)
Lady Axl Low (Planned)
Baiken
Jam
Valentine
Millia

I bet I will not get them all done before I die.
In cosplay that I am actually making right now news, did some fixing and Victreebels base dress is done. I need to go and buy some pink thread for the bias tape tomorrow and get the lip and teeth attached. I'll hopefully start painting the dress and get the yellow on the head leaf as well.

Mei Long · « **Reply #1120 on:** July 16, 2009, 09:48:50 pm »

Boogie, if I do Bridget and have any questions about the cosplay can I ask you? Since you have done them before? ^_^

As for THIS year's cosplay - not much work done. Have been hanging out with friends today and I have gotten to talk with a very awesome person named Miki-chan, she is a friend's sister who is visiting from Japan. She is very nice. =)

Boogie, what is the "nightie bridget" look like? *very curious*

(Also, this post was typed from a computer that is from Japan - the keys are different! Thanks to Miki-chan I was able to find a few keys that were located in a very different spot than what I'm used to, haha. XD)

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1121 on:** July 16, 2009, 10:09:14 pm »

wow nikki.. thats alot... xD good luck with all thouse! i need to look up the may pictures i once had ;_; darn computer making me delete them!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1122 on:** July 17, 2009, 06:48:07 am »

Totally Mei~ I can even tell you my secrets to making a giant handcuff and giant working yo-yo. In fact, if you have either of them, feel free to add me on msn or aim Mei. You seem like a cool dude I would talk to frequently. They are in my forum profile thinger.

And Nightie Bridget looks like this.

they are very nice! They are even gonna try to special order some other beads I need! I'm gonna try to go there a lot more often. If anyone lives near or in Tigard, I reccomend them. The store is called Bead Bullies.

Mei Long · « **Reply #1124 on:** July 17, 2009, 10:30:38 am »

Awww, thanks Boogie! That's really sweet of ya. ^^ I will add you to my aim, okay? =) Ooooh, and that's Nightie Bridget? I think I saw a cosplay of that one floating around coscom but I thought they were like, very small overalls.

Nya - That is so awesome! Very cool that you found such a helpful and friendly place. And now if I ever need beads I'll no where to go! ... and those will probably pop up soooometime... especially if I ever decide which character of Okami (video game) I'd want to cosplay, haha!

kuri_chan · « **Reply #1125 on:** July 17, 2009, 11:18:11 am »

Hey all. things have changed a bit over here.

Here's the new break down:

In progress for me:

Suzaku Kururugi from Code Geass 90% done (Can't find the blasted boots without heels of death or the gloves and sword, my go without.))
O-Saber from Fate//Stay Night 80% done (armor needs reworking badly and dress needs ironing)
O-Sesshomaru: 95% (wig needs trimming)

In progress for boyfriend:

Zero from Code Geass maybe 90% done (just need to find or make that damn mask any suggestions)
Archer (not Gilgamesh) Fate//Stay Night 90% done. Need to paint designs onto top.
O-Inu Yasha from Inu Yasha 85% done but the wig needs some combing and I need to find another way to carry that blasted sword around

The brother has decided not to go so I've dropped Kagome and added Sesshy to my list. It's not fair to have it all done and not use it right?

boogipop: I missed your post last time sorry about that. It's not that I've boon doing a lot of these. It's that a few of them, the ones marked with a O are older cosplays that have been done a few times. The new ones are Suzaku, Zero, and Archer.

Speaking of Archer, I finished his darn pants. I absolutely hate those strappy things he has on his pants. HATE! All I need to do for him now is paint the design onto the shirt and Archer is done, swords and all.

nyahaha · « **Reply #1126 on:** July 17, 2009, 12:02:27 pm »

Went back to joanns because I forgot some stuff xD Now I have the fabric for Red XIII's pants and ears. I also got feathers for the ears, and I thought I got clippies for them, but apparently I forgot to take them out of the basket before I returned it xD I didn't pay for them before I returned the basket so all is good. I just have to hunt around the house for some clippies.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1127 on:** July 17, 2009, 01:21:00 pm »

@ kuri: xD funny how i just foudn out who archer was last night

SageBell · « **Reply #1128 on:** July 17, 2009, 04:52:53 pm »

gah so irritated at this thing. i hate sewing multipul layers.

kuri_chan · « **Reply #1129 on:** July 17, 2009, 05:42:12 pm »

chelseahavoc: Really? Sorry abotu that. I've been trying to figure out how to work my signature, but I'm not good at BBC at all. lol.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1130 on:** July 18, 2009, 12:38:11 am »

Eeeeeeeeeee~ It's starting to actually look like Victreebel! It's too late to paint tonight so I will start the spots tomorrow.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1131 on:** July 18, 2009, 08:56:13 am »

Nice, I really like the dress. I can't wait to see it

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1132 on:** July 18, 2009, 09:03:41 am »

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1133 on:** July 18, 2009, 09:44:18 am »

Hidamari · « **Reply #1134 on:** July 18, 2009, 09:59:13 am »

kuri_chan · « **Reply #1135 on:** July 18, 2009, 11:22:43 am »

woot. Archer has been finished. We'll be dying my bf's hair a week or 2 before the con. next up for working is Saber's armor.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1136 on:** July 18, 2009, 11:38:06 am »

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1137 on:** July 18, 2009, 12:05:21 pm »

Paintin' spots, paintin' spots. I have to wait for the front to dry a bit more but they spots are really breaking up the blandness of the dress! It keeps making me happier and happier.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1138 on:** July 18, 2009, 12:44:40 pm »

Bought beads an' stuff for my 3rd uniform belt, bought my stilts for Maria and I'm about to get my new thigh highs for Lenalee.

: D

Mei Long · « **Reply #1139 on:** July 18, 2009, 02:50:36 pm »

X3 The cuteness of the Victreebel dress makes my day better, haha.

I was going to bike to Joanns this mornin' but then we get this call that a loooooooot of relatives are coming over so I gotta stay here for crowd control, heh. Hopefully they will only stay for a few hours and I will have enough time to bike to Joanns AND be able to browse.

So yeah, not getting as much work done today as I wanted. So awesome to see everyone else is gettin' stuff done!! ^^

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1140 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:01:26 pm »

Finished muh dress~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #1141 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:06:25 pm »

I love it! It looks great.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #1142 on:** July 18, 2009, 04:09:36 pm »

omg! your dress looks awesome!!!!!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1143 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:05:48 pm »

Sexy Victreebel dress is sexay~

You look a little uncomfortable in it, though.

Made my belt chain for my 3rd uniform, my earrings for my outfit and an anklet out of the Czech glass beads that were left. It's pretty win. Ordered my black thigh highs too, so when they come I'll put lace on them to prettify the tops and make them match the reference art I'm working off of. I got some cute black eyelet lace that looks just like the illustrations at Joanns.

: D

nyahaha · « **Reply #1144 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:14:16 pm »

I love the Victreebel! The spots look really good!

Started sealing the fun foam for a commmision I'm doing, and I thought I had all the pattern peices cut out for red xiii's shirt, but i still need to find one more. And I just got all the other paper all folded nicely...

the shirt will probably be done tonight, and the base of the pants shouln't take too long to make and should be done at somepoint tomorrow or Monday.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1145 on:** July 18, 2009, 05:24:59 pm »

@Richie- It's actually kinda comfy minus the shortness and heaving bosoms. I just don't like taking pictures of myself.
And thanks everyone

Huntress · « **Reply #1146 on:** July 19, 2009, 12:24:23 am »

Love the Victreebel! It came out great!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1147 on:** July 19, 2009, 12:36:31 am »

The dress does look awesome, Boogie. Those spots make a world of difference, really popping it out. ^_^

Mei Long · « **Reply #1148 on:** July 19, 2009, 12:58:41 am »

Today was yay and awre - Got a pattern for a future cosplay for 1.99 thanks to the sale at Joanns but they didn't have the translucent green plastic stuff they had last year that I used on another cosplay... so I got some colorless frosted plastic stuff and am trying to find a paint that will stick to it but keep it translucent... acrylic didn't work. =(

But I got the straps on my backpack and am soooo close to finishing it, gah! XD But now everyone is sleeping in my house which means I can't keep working. Darn people going to bed at a "reasonable hour". =P

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #1149 on:** July 19, 2009, 01:03:08 am »

Glad you're making progress, Mei. ^_^

I on the other hand am stuck in a rut. I really want to get my costume done, but need to wait for Kahlan to help me as it requires sewing. So my costume is pretty much up to whenever she feels like working on it, which has been frustrating more than anything else lately.

Just gotta be patient and remember I still have over a month to get it done.
