By all means. I just hope they'll peacebond my katana and let me in with it.. otherwise I'll have to use a black bokken, and that's just not accurate. >.<

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2303 on:** August 28, 2009, 05:33:50 pm »

hopefully they will cuz his sword is sooooooooooooooo bad@$$ omg. gaaaaaaaaaaaah i 'm just waing for the sewing machine right now so i can do my jacket!

If it's real metal, it'll have to stay in it's sheath the whole time - especially if it's sharp. If you're posing for pics, you can't be inside with it out... I think that's about it.
Oh and it can't touch another person at any time.

Yeah, I recall hearing something similar to that.. but they can change the rules at any time. And that's very fine, I don't have to do very many battle stances, and if I do, it can just be the 'ready to draw' stance.

Edit: I'm almost wondering if I should bring my 2nd gen itouch, with the built-in speakers, and constantly play the DMC3 and DMC4 battle theme while I walk around. XD

:rofl: that'd be cool~

Agent47 · « **Reply #2307 on:** August 28, 2009, 06:48:11 pm »

So, I broke down and tested everything out at present.

And while I won't show everything, I did edit something up for the forums previewing pleasure.

Sorry for the poor quality and all that jazz.. I was fresh out of the shower and only took like 2 pics, cuz I was still very moist and didn't want it to mess with the materials. Plus the mirror i took that in was still a bit foggy from said shower. XD

Also, again, I didn't do anything with my hair as far as styling, I just hopped out of the shower, dried off my hair a bit, then left it slicked back with just the remaining water in my hair.

*applause* Cooool~ ^_^

Agent47 · « **Reply #2310 on:** August 28, 2009, 07:08:24 pm »

Given it's still not quite complete, all that's left is getting boots, gloves, and finalizing my hair.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2311 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:36:39 pm »

Kahlan showed me the progress she has made on her Aeris today, and I just have to say...Wow. She looks fantastic as Aeris. The costume looks awesome and I can't wait to take some pics and post them up here, should get them done next week before the con hits.

veraca · « **Reply #2312 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:38:17 pm »

Awsome! ^_^

I personally am doing the final stage of the con-prep. Packing.

Somehow I'm gonna pull off being Roxas & Soul in the same day >>; This ought to be interesting.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2313 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:40:09 pm »

I'm going to be Demyx, Lavi, Demyx again and then Maria. All in the space of four hours. Top that.

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #2314 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:41:15 pm »

.... wow. someone's gonna be busy...

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2315 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:44:20 pm »

I sort of figured out how to make meg's harness so I think I might get it done before con. :,D phew~ gluing is much better then sewing right now. It's a total break for me. ^_^

Going to look for pants tomorrow and try to buy some dye among other things.

Agent47 · « **Reply #2316 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:47:54 pm »

Tofu, you're cosplaying Rex Raptor? XDDD

You're my hero. I'm gonna make sure to take pictures of that.

leonmasteries · « **Reply #2317 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:52:56 pm »

wow rex raptor, now that's one you almost never see.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2318 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:53:48 pm »

Why yes I am.

I'm your hero? Never been called that before. ^///^ Thank you.

rex needs more love. <3

leonmasteries · « **Reply #2319 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:55:07 pm »

ya, I will admit, he does need more love, but not weevil... The reason weevil get's no love is because I love the episode where he get's taken over by the Seal of the Oricalcos and Atem freaks out on him, than pretty much over kill's him non stop. Which is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENyBr-K-W28

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2320 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:56:50 pm »

Rex even becomes a mind slave during the Doma arc. He totally gets a comeback, even if he doesn't know it. XD He was like the easiest cosplay to pull together. And the quickest too.

But he's not a douche like Weevil. He's just trying to make it in the dueling world.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2322 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:01:40 pm »

Totally and he's a perv as well. Which I respect that. Weevil totally has issues. Bugs? That's a weird Deck. Dinosaurs? Now that's freaking awesome. ^_^

Man I like yugioh to much. XD

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2323 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:02:07 pm »

lol nothing wrong with that

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2324 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:04:43 pm »

Working my ass off. I have 3 helpers with me tonight and I'm hoping to get a good chunk of their costumes done tonight. I'm finishing up putting together the base frame for our Sandshrew's ears. We're putting more yellow dye on the sweater tonight since it is really light in the sun so I can't finish the ears until that is done. I'm hoping after that's done dying and drying I can put the belly and pocket on.

Togekiss' feather boa is almost done. We just cut a boa down and we're attaching ties onto it right this moment. My best friend is going to cut out his dress thinger tonight so hopefully I'll just have to sew it together tomorrow.

Pidgey is drafting out her wings at the moment. I've got her fabric in the dryer. I'm hoping that I will have her dress shirt done by tonight besides the tiny duck that's on it (she's painting that on herself). I also want to have the fabric cut out for her bag and have the wigs almost or completely done and have the strips for the hat done tonight too.

NOW I MUST GO WORK.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2325 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:05:35 pm »

I'm going to go buy a wig for Yuna tomorrow and hopefully Dad will be working on the staff

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2326 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:07:03 pm »

Wow nice st up Nikki. I hope all goes well for you guys. ^_^

Also...

JESUS CHRIST SUPER TERRIBLE HOT GLUE BURN ON MY THUMB JOINT

Oh god it hurts so bad and is swelling up D:

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #2328 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:30:26 pm »

Cold water and ice, quick, do et! Also, aloe vera if you have any.

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2329 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:07:10 am »

i'll join the gluing department i glued my fingers with super glue last night and ripped it off...didn't feel so good.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2330 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:09:24 am »

Update~
Sandshrew is dyed and ready to have things attached. He fell asleep though so I think I'll just do everything for him tomorrow since it isn't a huge thing.

Pidgey's dress is almost cut out, the skirt is dyed, the hat feathers and wings are cut out, and we are getting ready to cut out the bag. I'm going to start sewing things together in a moment.

Togekiss' thinger did get finished

veraca · « **Reply #2331 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:10:06 am »

oO; I doubt it counts, but I know I'll get my fingers with hot glue again tomorrow. But I'm used to it so it doesn't burn me. After doing it so much for years, it looses it's "burn!" effect >>; I just wait for it to cool and pull it off like wax.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #2332 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:13:53 am »

I glued my thumb to a barrete with nail glue while making Teddiursa's moon. XD. At the time I didn't know nail polish remover got it off so I walked around stupidly for two hours with a barrette glued to my thumb.

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #2333 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:15:54 am »

WONDERFLEX ARIVED : D YYYYYAAAAAYYYY

and so Sunday I'm going shooping for the last bits of Rosette fabric, then I'll sew then and HOPEFULLY finish the costume Sunday or Monday then come home and rush to finish the acessorys (like her watch and cross's) then at the same time rush to finish black rose's armor......

then printing for artist alley, ect ect. oh boy this should be a hectic week.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #2334 on:** August 29, 2009, 12:18:03 am »

=D i made my bag! my awesome cool cowprint bag for lugging my stuff around xD i had to make something this last week for kumoricon!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2335 on:** August 29, 2009, 01:25:34 am »

Almost done with what I need to Sandshrew~ I just need to attach the bottom of the pocket to the sweater. We are probably going to try to go to Joanns tomorrow to get the last of the fabric for the ears and then I pass it on to my friend and he will do the fabric paint for the lines.

Pidgey will hopefully be completely cut out by tomorrow. I'm going to try to finish it by the end of the weekend so I can pass on everything else to my friend by Monday.

Tomorrow Togekiss will get cutout while I work on the other things I need to do for Pidgey.

Go go, cosplay team.

Hey guys! I'm having major issues with my sewing machinge (and i'm running out of time!)
The thread/fabric is bunching up slightly as I sew, and one side lookes really flat while the other has tons of loose loops and bunches and what not.
We tried rethreading both the bobin and the top thread, but its still messing up
help?

veraca · « **Reply #2337 on:** August 29, 2009, 10:45:58 am »

I had that problem and I finally noticed that the needle wasn't picking up the thread from the bottom bobbin & the tension's too tight. I don't know how to fix it though x_x; Someone else might..

But that's why I sew by hand.. My only trouble is knots..

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #2338 on:** August 29, 2009, 10:57:57 am »

anime: did you check your machine manual? check you thread length and tension it could also be the fabric type and it could be the needle, is it bent or boken or dull? try replacing the needle

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2339 on:** August 29, 2009, 10:58:15 am »

i'm in my wooper costume getting ready for my shoot.

veraca · « **Reply #2340 on:** August 29, 2009, 11:10:25 am »

I look forward to seeing it Doof^^

animeotakujoanne · « **Reply #2341 on:** August 29, 2009, 11:15:35 am »

How do you fix the tension? (and no, the needle is fine.)

pencil · « **Reply #2342 on:** August 29, 2009, 11:17:45 am »

@ animeotakujoanne - You should have a wheel or knob on your machine that controls tension. What machine do you have?
But it could be the needle, having the wrong size in can make the stitches do that.

animeotakujoanne · « **Reply #2343 on:** August 29, 2009, 11:42:33 am »

It's a Brother Lx-3125
I dont think it's the needle since it was working just fine before and just recently started doing it

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #2344 on:** August 29, 2009, 02:23:26 pm »

Is the needle in backwards?

I know I make that mistake all too often to admit :x
