Yeah better than some. I don't mind using my hair because I have ways of getting it to do what I want. Just look at Larxene

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #501 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:48:10 pm »

Exactly! If you can easily use your hair and look like the character, then go right a head!
I mean, you saw me at the Mall meet up as Hughes. That was my real hair, and I even had his little antena!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #502 on:** May 25, 2009, 08:49:26 pm »

Yeah it was pretty good ^_^

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #503 on:** May 25, 2009, 09:08:01 pm »

Thanks!
And same with your Lerxene!

See, I think you're lucky. It seems that a lot of characters have blond hair. And even though there are a lot of chars that have dark brown/black hair, I can never find any that have a similar hair style...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #504 on:** May 25, 2009, 09:12:38 pm »

Well I dye my hair all the time, this year it just happens to be blond

this time last year I was dark brunet

Plans have changed.

Mai will not be done till next year, replacing with Mikuru Asahina Punk Loli ver.

Gotta update my signature...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #506 on:** May 25, 2009, 10:01:43 pm »

Oh well, can't wait to see her next year then!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #507 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:13:53 pm »

Gah!!!
School is EVIL!!!
It's not making it easy for me to work on my cosplays...
TTATT

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #508 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:41:00 pm »

I know I work like 5, 7 hour days this week. I come home exhausted, go play WoW to chill out.

Then I forget to sew, and now I'm all stressed over the 7 costumes I have to make.

.... I wonder when my fabric swatches will get here.

Tell me about it. I want to get a costume done before the beach trip but I have finals coming up really really quickly. Luckily I will have two and a half full days before the beach trip to work on it so i should get it done in time.

I am going to be Natsuo from Loveless.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #511 on:** May 27, 2009, 05:52:34 pm »

It almost makes me want to keep Youji because I don't have any pictures of Youji with a Natsuo =/

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #512 on:** May 27, 2009, 06:10:30 pm »

Lucky...At least you will have time to work on it...
Because of the snow and missing days, our half-day finals are now all full days, AND we actually have school that friday the 12th....
GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

i have a drawing i did of Natsuo and Youji

nikkiolie · « **Reply #514 on:** May 28, 2009, 11:21:43 am »

I would love to see it. I'm also adding Twilight Town Larxene to my list of cosplays, that will be for pre-reg Friday.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #515 on:** May 28, 2009, 11:36:56 pm »

I'm still really excited to see that!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #516 on:** May 29, 2009, 09:32:15 am »

Well I may be wearing some of it to a meet-up this weekend so I might have pictures. I don't think the shoes will be done in time though =/

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #517 on:** May 30, 2009, 12:28:50 am »

I wouldn't think so, those boots don't really seem like the easiest thing to do...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #518 on:** May 30, 2009, 08:36:04 am »

well I am not going to make boot covers but I do have a pair of boots I don't wear that often and paint sticks to them surprisingly well. I got one of them done and I am about half way on the other. I'll get pictures posted latter tonight.

Nekojimei · « **Reply #519 on:** May 30, 2009, 08:27:39 pm »

here's the link to the one i drew on my DA- outfits are my own personal design

nikkiolie · « **Reply #520 on:** May 31, 2009, 10:29:16 am »

That looks great. Maybe I'll make a new Youji costume next year.

Nekojimei · « **Reply #521 on:** June 01, 2009, 09:54:33 am »

that'd be awesome :3

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #522 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:19:19 am »

Kumori-chan's almost finished!

I have to sew together some things on her sleeves, embroider the clouds, get an umbrella and paint it, and then get socks and shoes which I already know where to get them and she'll be done!

I'll post pictures later when I'm done embroidering the first sleeve <3

Thats good to hear, you should take pictures once you get it done

soundninja12 · « **Reply #525 on:** June 01, 2009, 03:59:54 pm »

I love all of my cosplays, and I so don't want to drop them, but... I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish them all, plus help out all of my friends with their cosplays.
But I guess I'll cross that bridge when it comes to it, right?
I hope it doesn't come to it...
I'll just work really hard and finish them in the first part of summer, so I can spend the rest of my time helping out my friends.
i just needed to rant about that.
That is all.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #526 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:03:19 pm »

How many are you planning?

soundninja12 · « **Reply #527 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:13:42 pm »

just the three, but still, I have a busy summer, I always go to like a bazillion camps, and help out at a bazillion others.
But I guess I'll have time.
I hope I will.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #528 on:** June 01, 2009, 04:21:23 pm »

Well try it, work on the ones you want to the most and leave the one you want to do the least for last.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #529 on:** June 02, 2009, 10:55:01 pm »

So, I see you're planning to not do Tamari and do someone else?

Not sure who that is though...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #530 on:** June 02, 2009, 10:59:09 pm »

It's Kuja from final fantasy 9. He is the main bad guy throughout the game. I have wanted to cosplay him for the longest time :3

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #531 on:** June 03, 2009, 12:08:23 am »

O_O
That's a GUY?!?!?!???!?!?!1

Sorry....

He looks hard. I hope you'll get him done by K-con.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #532 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:09:09 am »

Yeah that is a guy, and I can't make costumes very well so I ordered this once. I can make easier costumes but there is no way I could do this one x.x

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #533 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:18:40 am »

I see. Well, it'll still look AWESOME!!!
Good luck!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #534 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:21:08 am »

I have already ordered it and it should be here by next Thursday. I'm going to make a few changes to make it look more accurate but I am so freaking excited. If only I thought about doing this sooner I could wear it to the beach but I won't have the wig in time =/

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #535 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:31:02 am »

Wow, that soon?
I wouldn't wear it to the beach, it'd seem too heavy, even the exposed stomach.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #536 on:** June 03, 2009, 08:55:23 am »

Also I would be afraid of it getting ruined...I did pay a lot of money for it. Yeah the place I got it from includes UPS express shipping, that could be the reason they cost so much =/

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #537 on:** June 03, 2009, 03:44:30 pm »

You spend a lot on your cosplays, don't you? I wish I had that kind of money. Though, I'm hoping to get a job soon, so then I could!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #538 on:** June 03, 2009, 04:00:41 pm »

Yeah, I want to look good. I cosplay for the attention I get and to look like the character. Usually to do both of those well you got to spend a little.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #539 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:50:03 pm »

I'm doing it for the fun of it!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #540 on:** June 04, 2009, 04:29:49 pm »

So, I got my wig for Roxas and it's a pain in the ass.......!
So far I only have the bangs done, and just that took at least an hour....
I hate not being skilled in the arts of wig styling.....

nikkiolie · « **Reply #541 on:** June 04, 2009, 05:28:28 pm »

you should post pictures, I would love to see it.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #542 on:** June 05, 2009, 08:05:55 am »

Well, I only got the bangs done, but once I get more done I'll be posting pics on my photobucket.
(and I still need to finish my beach outfit......)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #543 on:** June 05, 2009, 09:06:41 am »

I can't wait to see it. I'm sure it will turn out good. You know there is a tutorial on cosplay.com on how to style a Roxas wig and it looks very good. Not sure if you have seen it or not but if you haven't here you go http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=97834

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #544 on:** June 05, 2009, 03:47:50 pm »

Yeah, I've seen it, and I'm trying to follow it. But it's one thing to read it and understand, it's another to actually try and do it.......

But I'll be only styling part of it, since I'll also be wearing a hat I made. And I need to work on getting my brown eyebrows to match the color.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #545 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:30:03 pm »

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.

Kawaii Punkd · « **Reply #546 on:** June 08, 2009, 09:32:55 pm »

Got Luka wig today and farther on Kumori-chan~

I really like how you made the clouds on the arm thing. Oh, and how are you going to get the arm things to stay up? I have arm things on my vocaloid and I have to pull them up every half hour.

I'm very lucky for 2 reasons

a: costume is made of fleece, so it's naturally fluffy and sticks to skin.

b: I made the arm so close to my skin that it hugs my arm without support, but just in case it doesn't, there's fashion tape available anywhere~

nyahaha · « **Reply #549 on:** June 08, 2009, 09:54:42 pm »

Right. Wow. Hopefully it won't get too warm for you...Fashion tape, I never thought of that, thank you
