Shy girl is done!

The mask needs a bit more blush, but other than that, they're complete!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2501 on:** September 01, 2009, 06:32:33 pm »

I should totally be sewing my secret cosplay's headband, but I'm laaaaaaaaaaaaaazy.

veraca · « **Reply #2502 on:** September 01, 2009, 06:36:39 pm »

I'm officially done and ready for the masquerade ^_^ I finally hot glued the stick to the mask today. I'm tempted to give it some more gold paint, which I might in a few so it's dry by the time I leave tomorrow.

I had to buy a new wig. The first one was far better since it was actually wavy and the right color, but since I obliterated my first wig, I have to make do with a pin straight, much more bleach-blonde wig.

I'm going to buy different curlers this time.

Sutie · « **Reply #2504 on:** September 01, 2009, 08:53:48 pm »

^eeep! I'm so sorry for you. I totally know the feeling of a lost good wig.

Just finished cutting wigs. I swear that I'll be eating synthetic hair for the next two days.

I still have to pin my dress for the masq.

Arghhhh. My outfit is all but complete. I sewed the hat and it was too small =A=;;; Mum said she'll show me how to put some elastic in, so that I can fit it over my massive head >>

Spraypainting wooden sword tomorrow, as well as styling my wig.
It'll be my first time cutting ANY kind of hair (other than Barbie >>;;; ) and I'm going to keep in mind that I need to make it longer than it should be on the wig head, because it's at least 20% smaller than my head |D
I'm armed with sharp scissors, safety razors (for a more natural look), and Aqua net - extra strong.

Kawaii Punkd - Your Shy Girl is adorable!

Right now I'm creating stencils for the designs I will be painting onto fabric later. What sucks is normally I have lots of fun with this (yeah, weird huh? The only time I have fun with calcuating measurements/math is cosplay) but right now I'm just really bummed.

Rain or hail the cosplay must continue! I sincerely hope tomorrow will be a better day though.

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #2508 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:45:20 pm »

Haha, I caved and packed today. Also got a wig for a cosplay... next year. XD
I'm so lame.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2509 on:** September 01, 2009, 10:56:46 pm »

Oh that's not lame. I started packing 3 weeks ago .x.

I don't have to pack since I'm going everyday from my house. xD But I have had each of my cosplays in a special spot in my room for about a week. xD

@PaperRoxas: Oh my gosh! That looks so awesome. : D Keep up the great work~

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2511 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:02:28 pm »

Thanks Kagome ^^

Agent47 · « **Reply #2512 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:04:06 pm »

Woo! Boots are in!

All that's left now is gloves, and finalizing the hair. Hair will be done either tomorrow, or Thursday.. since there will be more bleaching to avoid dark roots. And gloves will be whenever I go out shopping next.

Wow, sounds like you have alot left to do.. well, good luck! I look forward to hopefully seeing any of your cosplays at k-con. xD

Kisitiene · « **Reply #2515 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:36:40 pm »

Agent :: I actually have one finished. XP It's my Blair cosplay...
Riza's will be easy to finish and Luka's will be easiest.
Luka will be done tomorrow and I'll have Rikku's sleeves done, her belt done {except grommets...}, Riza's hair will be done, and I'll start on Riza's skirt.
If I get to Wal*Mart tomorrow then I'll grab grommets, buckles, and the shoes I need and I'll get Rikku's skirt done and probably her shoes, too...

But yes... I will have Luka done tomorrow and then Rikku will be my priority though I will do her wig last. I'd have this all done but I was in Japan during the time I would have started on all of this... >.>

lychee-twist · « **Reply #2516 on:** September 01, 2009, 11:50:02 pm »

I finished my Secret cosplay! I'm just sad because I thought my hair was short enough that I could style the front of it took like like the character. *sigh* To no avail. Well, it's not my main cosplay anyways so I guess it's no big deal? Either way I made a backpack! And it's not half bad!

But I saw pics of my friend's sister's cosplay of the same character, and it's SO much better than mine. OMG. It's the best one that I could find on deviantART by far.

Oh, any opinions on spray starch? I need my collars crisp!

veraca · « **Reply #2517 on:** September 02, 2009, 01:59:13 am »

Save for picking up the pieces I need for the Aqua costume - I'm all done. Packing and everything. I'm heading out at about noon! x_X Woooot for 3 hr drive.

animeotakujoanne · « **Reply #2518 on:** September 02, 2009, 07:20:59 am »

lol same here. all packed and heading out at noon for a three hour drive to my brothers house!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2519 on:** September 02, 2009, 07:53:33 am »

You guys are all leaving today? I'm leaving tomorrow, but not actually going anywhere until Friday. *Checks* Yeah, it's Wednesday. Okay, thought so.

mangakaluna · « **Reply #2520 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:28:17 am »

My least favorite part of sewing...is seam ripping.
My costume is complete, except for that silly hat D< It's driving me insannneeeee ;A;
Hopefully getting my sword spraypainted today, as well as stying my wig *w*

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2521 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:29:26 am »

I still have to do cleaning and my book report before my friend comes down so that we can finish up Espeon. >3>

Sugarlat · « **Reply #2523 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:35:55 am »

Guy just came by to pick up his commission.
I just need to finish an Avatar Jacket, finish a shirt, and make a mini jacket.
I still need to make my Gokudera belts, fix up my ouran Jacket, get/make ouran tie, and make my yaya jacket.
THEN I'm good to go... I think...

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2524 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:37:11 am »

So much to do, you two. D;

Sugarlat · « **Reply #2525 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:37:51 am »

Oh I know! I don't even know if I can sew with my new little kitty in my room!

soundninja12 · « **Reply #2526 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:40:58 am »

Is your kitty angry at your sewing machine?

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2527 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:41:21 am »

KITTY?! 83 A distraction much?

Sugarlat · « **Reply #2528 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:41:46 am »

No I'm afraid He'll freak out or start playing with the fabric XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2529 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:43:18 am »

I have very little left to do:
Work

And everything is in that order

Well, most of the things on my list were easy...

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2531 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:46:16 am »

Lol. I love cats, but they can be a pain sometimes. xD Last year my friend's cat laid down on my fabric and refused to move or be picked up.

So lucky, Nikki. xD

And, I guess. But it still seemed like a lot. Lol.

Sugarlat · « **Reply #2532 on:** September 02, 2009, 10:49:07 am »

I need to start packing too XD

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2533 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:03:40 am »

Finished my headband! As of right now, my secret costume is at 100%. I got better sunglasses yesterday, too. They're perfect!

Making my eyebrows pink, however, is proving to be a much more vexing task. Curse you, white glue! Why won't you dry fast enough? I need to do this method for Demyx, too, else I look too much like Orlando Bloom's portrayal of Legolas. Bleach blond hair and my dark eyebrows are not a good combination.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2534 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:16:20 am »

Need to go buy a little bottle of red paint for the staff =x=

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2535 on:** September 02, 2009, 11:19:54 am »

If I could, I'd give you some. D; (Left over from my cane.)

tofutakeout · « **Reply #2536 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:23:24 pm »

Helped my friend Sam almost completely finish her lickatung cosplay(after I called it slowpoke about 40 times). We also got a lot done for her Debbito as well. I kept trying to comfort her and tell her she'd make it in time for con but she wouldn't believe. We stayed up so late.

My pants are also now yellow. ^_^ I just need to go get a white zipper and add extra straps to the harness and I will be completely done. Also Jasdero's headband is done too. I feel so accomplished!

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #2537 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:39:31 pm »

I got my final prop- a small pistol for Engie. All I need to do is spraypaint it silver, and I'm done~

Completion... It's so close... D:

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2538 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:43:58 pm »

I can't believe I hadn't noticed that you were going as TF2 characters. D8

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #2539 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:46:54 pm »

XD My spy isn't going to be very obvious because I'm do a female version. It was fun to design and put together, though. But yeah, my engie is pretty much the same as the game version.

Kagome219 · « **Reply #2540 on:** September 02, 2009, 12:48:46 pm »

I'll be looking forward to your costumes. : D And my friend, who is obsessed will love them even more. x3
Good luck with the pistol~

Chaotic.Fox · « **Reply #2541 on:** September 02, 2009, 01:59:52 pm »

Basicaly I was running outta ideas. So I dug throught my closet and came up with this, what dose everyone think, also if it looks like a character please let me know >> My ashitaka cosplay is not gonna happen do to time issues, Yeah for Crunch time TT

fleur_fraise · « **Reply #2542 on:** September 02, 2009, 02:16:01 pm »

FFFFFUUUUUU- my spy dress's zipper broke. The piece that zips them together came off of one side. Does anyone have a tutorial or giude on how to fix it? I can't find the right kind of tutorial.

PaperRoxas · « **Reply #2543 on:** September 02, 2009, 02:22:57 pm »

The star design for Yuna is officially done. Mom is coming home soon to sand the rod for me (I tried and I can't do it cause it's nails on a chalkboard ><) then we're going to prime it and Dad's going to cut it tonight and I might paint it tonight depending on how late I work

mangakaluna · « **Reply #2544 on:** September 02, 2009, 02:41:50 pm »

My sword is about halfway done, I made the hat

Still need to add detail and some texture <3

(Wood sword, spraypainted silver. Nice and lightweight!)

princessmoon · « **Reply #2547 on:** September 02, 2009, 03:09:35 pm »
