Good luck, let me know if I can help in any way.

As for the eye brows, try elmers glue and once that drys paint over them with a similar color yellow as the wig.

I decided to style it as if he was wearing the hat over the standing spikes part. AND it's done! After the beach, I'll have to wash it and then work on doing the whole thing -____-;

I need to raid my mom's paints and see if I can make a color or if I have to go shopping again...

Oh, and Kawaii, wonderful job on Kumori-chan so far!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #551 on:** June 08, 2009, 10:22:07 pm »

I know that Anna used a kinda of sand color for her eyebrows.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #552 on:** June 08, 2009, 10:31:12 pm »

Okay. I'll look into it....I'll be able to practice thankfully!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #553 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:26:59 am »

Yeah practicing is always a good thing. I may need to do the same for Kuja

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #554 on:** June 09, 2009, 10:30:44 pm »

@ nyahaha: you're very welcome~

@ nekovamp13: awesome~ Thamks!

Got Luka wig today and farther on Kumori-chan~

*loves*

OMFG AMAZING!

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #556 on:** June 12, 2009, 10:24:18 pm »

Thanks

Are they both amazing? Cause I think they are~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #557 on:** June 15, 2009, 07:31:20 pm »

Alright progress of Kuja is coming along nicely. I am hoping to have the boots done either today or tomorrow.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #558 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:45:13 pm »

God, you're fast when it comes to this kind of stuff.....
I still haven't made any progress...
^^;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #559 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:57:05 pm »

Well I bought the costume, and most of the detailing is very simple. Most of it is painted, I just need to do a few more layers on some of it and then I will be good.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #560 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:19:59 am »

I've finally got around to cutting my hair~

I wanted to go for a cute look for Kumori chan, and I wanted to be able to have short enough hair that it wouldn't be a half hour project trying to get into a wig.

So I cut it SHORT. MUAHAHAHA

BEHOLD! The glory that is my hair!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #561 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:21:12 am »

Wow that is very very short in the back but I like it ^_^

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #562 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:00:57 am »

Thanks!

I've also updated my lineup, since I'm working more now, I have more money but less time to actually work on cosplays, so I cut a few and replaced one. I'm not doing Chingling anymore, I'm now doing Glaceon's Gijinka ver.

I realized after I replaced her, she has the same hair I do

I might just get some kool-aid to dye my hair with for the con, and wash it like crazy when I get home XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #563 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:10:15 am »

Alright I got one boot done. I need to get some more snaps to attach the stuff to the other one. I just hope that they will stay on when I am walking =/

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #564 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:18:22 am »

That looks so super awesome!

Wear it a bit, I did that with my Mai costume right before I left for Sakura I wore it around town, and got some funny and.... interesting stares. I'm not saying you should walk around with one shoe on, try walking around your house for awhile, see if anything happens, trust me, you'll be glad you did, I hate convention mishaps D:

Which reminds me, I still haven't heard anything about the cosplay Repair Booth position I applied for >.>

nikkiolie · « **Reply #565 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:19:38 am »

Yeah I'm sure I will do that but I want to do it with both of them. It would be hard to walk around with one heeled boot on x.x

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #566 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:24:05 am »

Well of course you would do it with both of them

I couldn't do that with my Mai costume, my mom would have flipped if I walked around her house with just a mini wrap skirt on, trying to fix my one piece shirt. She had a hard enough time seeing me leave for the convention in it XD

Aaah parents

nikkiolie · « **Reply #567 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:50:40 am »

Well I moved my foot around as much as possible and it didn't come undone.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #568 on:** June 16, 2009, 10:59:27 am »

yay!

Well, if you come into any problems, I'm sure I can help. I come more than prepared for any mishap to every con

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #569 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:09:29 pm »

OMG! Kawaii, you're Hinata!!! And it is perfect for Glaceon.

Nikki, those look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
O_O

nikkiolie · « **Reply #570 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:23:09 pm »

Thanks. I still need to do the other....I get it done eventually.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #571 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:27:15 pm »

Yeah...I need to wash my wigs so I can actually style them......Especially Roxas.

You're a genius! Could you give me some ideas of how I could make the shoes of my character?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #573 on:** June 16, 2009, 06:05:28 pm »

Yeah just show me a picture and I can help you out.

But it doesn't look like I will be doing anything tonight so I may try to finish that one.

OMG YOU'RE RIGHT! I should SOOOO be Hinata~

I could bring kool-aid for her hair too <3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #575 on:** June 16, 2009, 09:15:03 pm »

I thought that is who you looked like when I first saw the hair cut.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #576 on:** June 16, 2009, 11:43:18 pm »

Yeah. I saw the picture and was all like "Oh, they're going as Hinata. Cool!" and then I actually read the post, but it still looks amazing!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #577 on:** June 16, 2009, 11:57:25 pm »

Could be a thought for future costumes?

Okay well it may be small, but here's a pic of the outfit with the boots. I hope this helps.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #579 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:12:19 am »

it looks like your best bet is to make boot covers. I tried this and didn't go over so well because I was trying to do it myself and I really needed another person. But there are tutorials on how to do them all over the place. http://greyfinch.livejournal.com/26087.html I'll look for the others latter but this one gives you an idea of what needs to be done.

Sakis01 · « **Reply #580 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:15:16 am »

Thank you very much. You're a great help.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #581 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:42:52 am »

Thanks guys~

I shocked everyone at work too XD

Some people were trying to re-introduce themselves to me *giggles*

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #582 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:46:34 am »

Wow, that's funny.
Yeah, when I wore my Roxas wig on the last day of school, everyone reconized me, but kept thinking that I actually bleached my hair, (until I took the wig off later that day) XD

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #583 on:** June 17, 2009, 12:48:27 am »

That's awesome.

I've had people at cons not know it was me in costume until I spoke to them and told them who I was XD

That always gets me.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #584 on:** June 17, 2009, 09:33:24 am »

There are some people that I only know them when they wear a wig. Take Missy for example. I didn't recognize her for a while without her Axel wig on XD

soundninja12 · « **Reply #585 on:** June 17, 2009, 01:04:32 pm »

When I first got on to forums, my picture was my Ichigo Mew Mew photo. (I do not very much like that costume anymore)
So when I went to a meet up I thought no one would recognize me with out my neon pink hair. Well, none of them knew me at con anyways, but still, I was so freaked that no one would recognize me!

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #586 on:** June 17, 2009, 01:23:17 pm »

kcon....
ASH(SO EXCITED)
GOLDEEN(MORE EXCITED, I HAVE A SEAKING)
and i dunno, maybe PLUSLE(love poke'mon, even though i don't watch it alot lol)

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #587 on:** June 17, 2009, 01:24:09 pm »

It's always fun going to meet ups, especially when people don't know what you look like. I did that and someone reconized me when I mentioned who I was going to cosplay.

Probably the most fun is when you're crossplaying. People think I'm a guy until I start talking to them XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #588 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:23:14 pm »

I think it is the best to go to meet-ups when you are debuting a new costume.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #589 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:26:55 pm »

Yeah. Though, I wouldn't really know how that feels yet.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #590 on:** June 17, 2009, 06:30:45 pm »

I always miss meet-ups.

Either I work, or I entirely forget about them ^_^;;

It's not that they're not important, I just forget about a lot in the 4 months before the con, cause I'm so tunnel visioned on costumes.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #591 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:09:30 pm »

Yeah. I need to get that way....So far, only one of my three (maybe four) cosplays are done, besides fixing up a couple of things.

soundninja12 · « **Reply #592 on:** June 17, 2009, 10:12:10 pm »

I wish I could get myself in the cosplay mood. My brain seems to think that it's a really long weekend, and that it doesn't have to do cosplays for a while. I guess I'm just going to have to get sewing, my brain might realize it isn't a weekend.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #593 on:** June 18, 2009, 09:33:56 am »

Yeah it takes me a while to get used to summer, I keep thinking that I have stuff due soon x.x

soundninja12 · « **Reply #594 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:25:13 am »

Yeah.
I seem to be convinced that I'm not going in to high school next year.
I bet deep down in there somewhere I know.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #595 on:** June 18, 2009, 10:38:33 pm »

By brain keeps saying that I have school the next day, and waking me up at 7 in the morning.......

soundninja12 · « **Reply #596 on:** June 18, 2009, 11:09:00 pm »

ouch.
I've slept past noon the last few days.
I never sleep past 8 so it's really weird.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #597 on:** June 20, 2009, 09:46:29 am »

I have work almost every day now. Been out of school for the last few years cause I can't afford to go back to College yet. D:

I really wanna go back they finally have fashion design at my local Community College. *whimper*

So sleeping in isn't an option sometimes when I work at 9am. It's cool, I'm working so I can pay bills and with the left over I treat myself to cosplay supplies. This time I think I'll get the material for Luka~

nikkiolie · « **Reply #598 on:** June 20, 2009, 03:10:46 pm »

I have been working so much this week. The days that I have off they called me in. Not that I am complaining, I need to pay for my sword still....but most of my expenses are paid off

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #599 on:** June 20, 2009, 03:25:40 pm »

I want a job so I can finish my cosplays, and then have spendings for artist ally.
