When it gets closer to con (and cooler weather) I'll probably put them all on and practice poses for pictures.

veraca · « **Reply #1801 on:** August 19, 2009, 08:46:41 pm »

Ok... This keyblade. It will die. No doubt about it.

I've decided to get what I can done on it between now and Sat. Then Starting Sunday, I'm taking paint to it. I'll get better wood later, now that I know what to get, and make a MUCH prettier one.

you make a valid point, I need to do that as well, and I need to get myself a new shonan jump for the character.

ok, now I'm wondering how many people, after getting their cosplay's finished, have actually put their outfit on a couple of time's after, either just to figure it out, or just to feel special? I have put it one twice so far, once to see how it fit, a second time with everything just so that I know what it look's like with everything.

xD I did that. Plus I got new shoes to wear as Roxas because the Converse I was wearing made my feet look tiny compaired to his baggy pants xD Here are the shoes ---> http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10817552

I would do that...cept I finished packing all the costumes today D: Maybe I can still figure out poses...actually, what I did is I wrote down a list of photos I want to try and take with each person I'm cosplaying and that actually help figure out poses >> But I need a pose for everyone when someone stops me and is like "LEMME TAKE YOUR PICTURE NAO D<"

I cosplay so many obscure characters, not many people say that to me D:

Though I still have a lot of poses planned for my pictures though. This year I'm more of mainstream characters. Mostly their classic character poses~

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #1805 on:** August 20, 2009, 01:19:02 am »

Though, I guess you wouldn't have to be in your cosplay, but I think it makes it easier, so I know if it looks good or not. But, if all else fails, just pose in front of the mirror as yourself pretending to be the char.

I'll probably just end up putting on the wigs to figure out angle which they look the best, and not bother with the whole outfit.

Sutie · « **Reply #1806 on:** August 20, 2009, 09:22:56 am »

Oh so much to do!!!
I'm going to be on a cosplay creation spree until the con. Got a lot done yesterday and at this rate I'll have two salior scout outfits done by the end of the week! ^^

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #1807 on:** August 20, 2009, 10:24:40 am »

yay~

Sutie, we'll have to take pics together!

I'm in love with my Super Sailor Mars costume <3 I'm sure yours will look awesome, cause you're making it~

OMG, I just realized we both have princess dresses of our senshi too! Yay more pictures together ^_^

soundninja12 · « **Reply #1808 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:19:49 am »

kawaii, I need you to PM me back.

Corsola is so damn close. I just need the wig.
I ordered a new wig for Botan, the old one just wasn't listening to me. It says it takes 7- 14 days to deliver. Please let it be closer to 7, because the order takes 48 hours to process. That'll put it at the day before con, and that would suck. A lot.

just dye your hair again like you did with tokyo mew mew

*slaps*
I'm never doing that again.
I didn't think my poor hair would ever recover...

I need to get cracking and finish meg. I only have two weeks. X_X I also need to help my friend get the puff ball for jasdero's headband then I'll be set with that. Then all I need is a green shirt for Rex.

I can't go to the meet-up. I have to work that day already requesting too many days off for Kumori to even think about requesting more off. I'm positive I can get it to you on day one though.

I got my tabi socks done! I'm pretty proud of the little buggers :3 They didn't turn out half bad for not having a pattern at all.

You guys are really making me want to do a Pokemon Ginjinka costume for next year.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #1820 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:28:14 pm »

You should~

More pokemans the betters

Now I can join my friend in the ranks of Pokemon cosplayers!

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #1821 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:28:54 pm »

niice lycheee

yea i didnt have a pattern for the yuna wrap i remade. it turned out pretty well for not knowing what i was doing

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #1822 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:31:57 pm »

That's awesome Paper

I love it when cosplays work out without a pattern, makes you feel accomplished~

That's how my Mars' Princess dress worked out, I had no pattern and just a picture.

It looks amazing~ I'm very pleased for how it came out <3

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #1823 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:48:07 pm »

nice do you have pictures??

my sister wasn't too happy cause she had to be my dressform...which means she had to wear my bra and i have to stuff it xD shes a 34b and im a 42d so it was funny looking! but i have before and after pics (dunno if i posted them yet)
before ---> http://axelsgrl24.deviantart.com/art/High-Summoner-129271543 (you can kind of see that the white wrap just is hanging there and is tied back by the yellow wrap and it's not crossed like it should be)
after ---> http://axelsgrl24.deviantart.com/art/Yuna-Wrapped-Fixed-133914853 (and now it's crossed. Its not a complete cross like it looks like in the game because i accidently cut off too much at the ends to do that...but mind you i had a stick as my dress form lol.)

Update!

I meant to put these up a week ago, but I left on a last-minute trip. Here are some of my Espeon pictures :3 (My friend, Memoryless, is working on the ears and tail in Washington; and the jewel is actually red and the shorts are more purple- it's just the lighting) :

The coloring doesn't match exactly between the top and bottom. I'll try taking some pictures with a matching tee and shorts I have soon. Then I'll ask your guys' opinions on which you think looks the best if that is alright. Thank you, guys! :3

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1827 on:** August 21, 2009, 07:39:23 am »

Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk, my bottom white skirt is actually finished! I really finished it yesterday, but I went to bed right after because it was a horribly work-intensive project.

Today I'll cut and sew the black skirt, possibly pattern out the feather-ish design, wait for UPS to deliver my Fray Stop and then start whacking and spraying. If I finish that and get a waistband into both skirts before the end of the day I'll be done... With... My skirt?

Well bust my aft and call me a Pit drone. I'm almost done with this costume!

D: and my teeth hurt so bad from getting a rubber band put in my braces and my bands and wires tightened.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #1828 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:51:49 am »

GRAH, It looks like I might not beable to go, T.T Mainly cause my younger sister is going away to college and its gonna hurt my familty money wise, and I dont have anyway of making money do to me unable to find jobs, DAMN MONEY ISSUES!

veraca · « **Reply #1829 on:** August 21, 2009, 10:58:30 am »

Oddly enough you aren't making me wanna do a pokemon ginjinka... that it? OO; You're making me wanna do it yeah but I'm not sure which one I'd want to do.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1830 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:11:40 am »

So after having everything pinned together for meg(of everything that I could make with the materials I had) I actually started sewing last night. XD So I think I'll get finished by con. I just need to not procrastinate anymore. >3>

@Elizabeth
ESPEEEOOOOONNNNUH. <3 I love it. You look pretty with short purple hair. ^_^

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1831 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:31:08 am »

Black skirt fabric is cut, I just need to pin and sew. But I keep getting distracted by Transformers Animated and other various things I shouldn't be doing. Like sitting here and doing nothing.

I should really style my Deke wig. And pack all my essentials into easy-to-carry boxes to bring them to my dad's for my work-intensive week. AND JUST THINK! With Maria out of the way I'm home-free! Just gotta do touch-ups on Demyx's sitar.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1832 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:39:44 am »

i just need to make a blazer and then bam make the whole mew costume next saturday it shouldn't be so hard yup yup.

veraca · « **Reply #1833 on:** August 21, 2009, 02:50:38 pm »

MWAH-HAH-HA-HAAAAA *waves a pointing finger at devil wood*
Take that you stupid thing!

*ahem*

First bit of black's on the keyblade. It should be dry enough by this afternoon to start with the white and other details. The bat still doesn't look as cool/good as I would like, but I've settled on buying another piece of wood later on and doing a whole 'nother one from scratch.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1834 on:** August 21, 2009, 03:35:47 pm »

i got one weft sewed in yay! 3 more to go lol pig tails are hard to do on wigs really bad lol

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #1835 on:** August 21, 2009, 03:38:48 pm »

MUHUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who's your daddy, you stupid wig? WHO? ME. HAH. I HAVE STYLED YOU.

Ahem. My wig for Lavi is cut and styled, and looks rather good. Also, I sewed my bottom tier of the dress together and now all I have to do is sew both skirts together, put a stretchy waistband in, and cut the design from the bottom.

Now to FIND my stretchy stuff...

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1836 on:** August 21, 2009, 03:43:04 pm »

aaaah i wish i had a preparted wig but this one is soo pretty i might do wig testing tonight and make up too and ltcommanderrichie, i love your purple wig its sooo pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and this wig will be styled when done yup yup it will lok badass!

gonna go put them in now...

omg you need to post pics of your contacts shannon!

animeotakujoanne · « **Reply #1840 on:** August 21, 2009, 05:29:42 pm »

DX I really need to get some contacts
my mom is really against it though, so I'm probably going to end up blind the whole convention XD

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #1841 on:** August 21, 2009, 05:41:01 pm »

I want some, but my stupid-sister is older and therefore has priority even though my eyes are worse.
So she gets to use everything we have through insurance for contacts and I get squat.
This happens with everything else though so w/e. XP

veraca · « **Reply #1842 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:00:48 pm »

I wouldn't mind contacts either but I need solid red which is harder to find that's good quality and a decent price- not 200$ >>; And I'm afraid of the whole in-out deal.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #1843 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:09:06 pm »

I bought some pretty good ones for like 30. In a really rare color too.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #1844 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:32:47 pm »

i just have standard clear contacts for vision yyup

nyahaha · « **Reply #1845 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:37:45 pm »

I'm back from camping and the last order I needed shiped came while I was gone! I think I have most of the supplies I need so it should be smooth sailing for the rest of my cosplay-making.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #1846 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:57:20 pm »

Got my friends hoodie that he wants to use for his Sandshrew cosplay. I've got it in the wash right now. I removed the hand pocket since he wants that to say white. I feel really stupid but I had to stitch up a seam that came undone when I removed it and I don't know what the hell kind of stitch to use on it. I've never sewn stretch fabric before but it looks like an overcast stitch was used on it. Does that work for that? I have no clue myself, I just did a quick zigzag on it for now so I could wash and dye the silly thing.

veraca · « **Reply #1847 on:** August 21, 2009, 07:05:14 pm »

I have the keyblade a good 98% done. ^_^ As done as it's gonna get in terms of carving >>;

I still have the rest of Jack's head to do and then seal it. His tie has 2 & 3 white stripes cause during the main cutting process my friend's dad decided to try and cut off that spike >>;

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #1848 on:** August 21, 2009, 07:05:47 pm »

awesome!

shanime_panda · « **Reply #1849 on:** August 21, 2009, 07:25:59 pm »

okay I fail at getting contacts in =[
it wouldn't unstick from my finger!!!!

I'm just gonna let them soak in the contact solution I bought until tomorrow...
