(*= Not sure if cosplaying yet)

Who else? Any progress? Want a get together at the con? A little early for all of that stuff I suppose but I figured I start it now.

I'll be starting on my cosplay after Sakuracon hopefully and have it done before my Summer Term.

I don't plan to do this type of cosplay, but I just have to say you all will be adorable, haha. I love what I've seen of this new fad.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #2 on:** March 19, 2009, 02:01:52 pm »

Before I say that I can modify red the ninja to look like a red Infernape. What is Gijinka? Is it a different style of cosplay?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** March 19, 2009, 02:08:51 pm »

I so want to cosplay pidgeot now XD

Quote

Gijinka (擬人化) is a Japanese word meaning "humanoid", "personification", or "anthropomorphic", although the use of the word outside of Japan has come to be slightly different from the use of the word "anthropomorphic" in the anime/manga/furry/etc communities. Rather than referring to just any animal with human characteristics, a gijinka is most often a fan re-design of an animal-like character from an animation or graphic novel in a human or humanoid form, (ex: a Digimon or Pokémon) or of a humanoid version of the artist's own original animal-like character.

So Pokemon people. They have all the pictures of them in a photobuck shown below...

Dude. Those photos pwn, on so many levels.

Decisions, decisions...

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 21, 2009, 08:36:00 pm »

I would love to do one, but probably not this year TT.TT

I don't know...If I can get a job during the summer, I might do one. Now, which one to do.....?

nyahaha · « **Reply #7 on:** March 21, 2009, 11:32:46 pm »

ive been thinking of doing houndoom http://asuyaa.deviantart.com/art/gijinka-houndoom-77598695

zangoose http://asuyaa.deviantart.com/art/gijinka-zangoose-yo-74329692

or an absol....but i havent decided yet. i dont know if ill have time, or the money

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 21, 2009, 11:35:30 pm »

I'd love to cosplay as Pacharisu but I'm cosplaying as Konan from Naruto Shippuuden

oslapedo · « **Reply #9 on:** March 21, 2009, 11:58:35 pm »

If I can convince my group to do Gijinka with me then I'll most likely be doing Poliwrath.

I really wanna do it... I'd even make a Poliwrath plushie to carry around <3

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #10 on:** March 22, 2009, 10:01:52 am »

I will 100% be cosplaying Charizard. I couldnt find a good Gijinka pic so I am making one of my own imagination. Im super excited for this one.

Also David (Kalira on the Forums) will most likely also be going as Charizard so we both can go in male and female form. It just seems like a really fun project.

I plan to start on these probably a month from now. Baby is due in 10 days now! And I need some time to lose a bit of weight before I start the costumeing parts but I can start the wings, horns, tail and accessories now. Yay! (Oh and if baby were going he would totally be a charmander, but he wont be going this year.)

oslapedo · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:39:33 am »

Since so many people are doing this I think we should definitely have a photoshoot sometime during con. I'm for sure doing Poliwrath now

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #12 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:45:20 am »

I'll add everyone who is for sure to the list now. I agree on the photoshoot, but it would probably be best to wait 'til the con is a little closer to decide on a day and time.

Osalpedo, you said earlier that you'd be doing Poliwrath if your group agreed to it. Does that mean they are going to do Ginjinka too?

oslapedo · « **Reply #13 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:49:15 am »

I'm telling them about it still, but expect at least three more Gijinkas once they decide who they want to be.

A photoshoot would be so adorable! I can't wait to see everyone's cosplay~

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #14 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:51:35 am »

Nice, nice. I'm glad to see more people getting into this now. Is there a park somewhere near the new convention area? I was thinking it would be fun to do it in the park across from the doubletree and then realized Kumoricon is not there anymore.

Trumby · « **Reply #15 on:** March 22, 2009, 12:59:09 pm »

The closest "parks" are about 3 blocks east, then 3 more and you have waterfront park.

Also I still need to decide if I'm doing this..

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:07:24 pm »

I definitely like this idea but I'd have to drop a few cosplays, which is fine with me. But there's so many to choose from!!! It's so hard! TT~TT

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #17 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:10:37 pm »

@Trumby-
You're decision is yes. Ha ha.
And yay parks! Though I'm not sure if people would want to wander that far from the convention.

@Kameko-
I know it's really hard. What helped me what I chose was first my favorite Pokemon (which didn't work out, Alakazams hair is too much for Kcon), my favorite set (like the original 150, gold and silver, etc. I don't know the rest of the games), and materials I already had so I didn't have to spend too much money. Hope that helps you on your decision.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 22, 2009, 01:12:30 pm »

It does help me alot. The funny thing is that my first choice before looking at the pictures was gonna be Persian...but then I looked at the picture and was like, "Aw, hell no." xD Waaaaaaay to much.

oslapedo · « **Reply #19 on:** March 22, 2009, 03:17:00 pm »

I think Kameko would make a super cute Teddiursa =3

So for my Poliwrath I'm stuck between two pairs of boots from cosworx. Which of these two should I get for it?

http://www.cosworx.com/product.php?productid=26211&cat=2430&page=2

http://www.cosworx.com/product.php?productid=26120&cat=2430&page=1

I'd be getting them in Navy Blue no matter which pair I decided on 8D

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #20 on:** March 22, 2009, 03:57:32 pm »

I almost wouldn't suggest knee highs for it. It would almost be better to find flats of that color and get some blue thigh highs to go with them. I think the shiny leather and heel would look a little weird.
That is just me though, out of the two of those I would choose the one with the thicker heel, easier to walk in and such.

oslapedo · « **Reply #21 on:** March 22, 2009, 04:01:29 pm »

That makes sense and it'd be a lot cheaper... I do like those boots though... -sniff-

nyahaha · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2009, 06:08:05 pm »

i agree with boogie pop. that stuff looks like plasticy type fabric so your legs and feet would get really sweaty. but if you absolutly had to i would say the thicker heeled ones. not as dangerous. and sometimes the thin heeled ones can break if used to much. my friends heel broke while she was going down stairs and she had to wear an ankle brace for a week or two.

oslapedo · « **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2009, 11:14:07 pm »

I might just get the thicker heeled ones because I really like them... or I'll look around for blue flats, etc

As for the blue wig I have no clue how I'll style the odango things! I'm tempted to bleach my hair and dye it blue for this 8D

Trumby · « **Reply #24 on:** March 23, 2009, 12:22:17 am »

Haha, I know I should

Question for everyone:

Which one?:

Empoleon
Staraptor
Darkrai

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #25 on:** March 23, 2009, 01:07:58 am »

Me and oslapedo think you should do Empoleon!!!

So cute!

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #26 on:** March 23, 2009, 06:37:50 am »

@Trumby- Straptor because you are a badass.

@Oslapedo-

Man of the Public · « **Reply #28 on:** March 23, 2009, 10:48:33 am »

@Trumby
Empoleon

Mei Long · « **Reply #29 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:11:24 am »

Wow, this thread has grown since I was last here!

I can't wait for the photoshoot, it'll be so awesome. Kinda sad that we won't be able to have a park right next to the hotel like last time though... Surely there has to be something around, three blocks away isn't so bad, right? And if we went 6 blocks to the Waterfront it could be a photoshoot/lunch event? Pokemon take over Portland!!! =)

Trumby - My vote is for Empoleon!!! =D

soundninja12 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:19:41 pm »

In all honesty, Empoleon freaks me the crap out. I say, go with Staraptor, because it's hair is awesome.

Oh, I've seen that before! It does help a bit, though I'm still confused by it. I think the wig will be one of my later priorities. First I'm going to work on the shoe/legging thing =D

Trumby · « **Reply #32 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:48:24 pm »

Haha wow lots of people liking Empoleon!

@boogiepop: Me badass? Lawls, I think you mean I just cosplay as badass characters

Also, STRAPTOR! That would be a pretty sweet pokeman.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #33 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:25:44 am »

I'm gonna be cute little Teddiursa!!! :3

oslapedo · « **Reply #34 on:** March 24, 2009, 01:30:28 am »

I think I changed my mind, I'll probably be doing Nidorina now =D

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #35 on:** March 24, 2009, 07:19:21 am »

@ Vampire-Kameko-
Yay, more gijinka's :B

@ oslapedo-
That looks like it will be tons easier and still cute. I had to switch from my first choice pokemon too due the wig.

I'll add/change you're pokemon on the list guys.

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #36 on:** March 24, 2009, 07:55:23 am »

Thanks Boogie!!!

Man of the Public · « **Reply #37 on:** March 24, 2009, 08:43:38 am »

I might not do Heracross.

But that's just a might.

gaah! im having so much trouble deciding!!!! i found a bunch more i like and now i have it "narrowed" down to 8 *sigh* can someone help me decide?

I hope you do do Heracross because you were the one who convinced me to do this for Kumoricon and not Akicon hahaha.

@Nyahaha-
Zubat or Gengar.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #41 on:** March 24, 2009, 04:53:27 pm »

I'm not saying not cosplaying a Gijinka, just not Heracross.

Deviant Spider · « **Reply #42 on:** March 24, 2009, 06:13:23 pm »

If I wasnt cosplaying Charizard than I would totally be doing Zubat. I love the color combination. It was a tough decision for me, but Charizard is such a bad a$$ that I had to choose him!

Man of the Public · « **Reply #43 on:** March 24, 2009, 06:32:55 pm »

Another cool link: http://s719.photobucket.com/albums/ww195/PokemonGijinkaCosplay/

It has the pictures then if a cosplayer has cosplayed them, a picture of the cosplay.

Also if I could get some advice on good gijinka to do, in case I do end up not doing Heracross, that'd be great.
My pics are in the "Who should I cosplay thread" so I'm not going to post them here.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #44 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:19:00 am »

Man of the Public you know who you should do, GANGSTA.

Anyways, I thought I'd put this out there now. I wanted to plan a get together during the summer for people doing Gijinka cosplays in Washington park (that's the big park/forest by the zoo) and take pictures in the wilderness like we're wild Pokemanz. And we can all bring our own lunch or something eat eat in the grass afterwords. Yes/No?

nyahaha · « **Reply #45 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:32:31 am »

i think that sounds fine...is washington park in washington or washington county...sorry if its a dumb question XD i havent been to too many parks...

i think im leaning towards zubat...i found a wig that would work great for it and now im all excited XD

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #46 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:41:44 am »

It's it Portland. You can ride the max right to it and it's next to the Oregon zoo~ I don't know counties or I would tell you what one.

Man of the Public · « **Reply #47 on:** March 25, 2009, 10:23:08 am »

@Boogie
It's either GANSTA or GEEKSTA for me.

And I'm totally down with a meet up in the park.

Yes! That sounds like tons of fun! I think it should be on a weekend (like Friday or Saturday) fo shizzle if we do it at the end of June or July because I have summer school, or all of August is free for me. I'd be bringing our Teddiursa with me too 8D

soundninja12 · « **Reply #49 on:** March 26, 2009, 06:20:22 pm »

You remember the goldeen dress misty wears in the episode of pokemon with the executor?
it's ok if you don't, considering I watched it yesterday.
But I was thinking that I could make that, and just use that ear glue stuff (the stuff you clue elf ears and fake noses on with) and glue a horn to my forehead.
I'm not sure if I will, but that would be fun.
I'll get my friend to draw it considering I have no drawing skills what so ever.

I have a friend who is definitely considering being vulpix, and I think she'd make a great one! Plus if i end up being goldeen then, me being a water pokemon her being a fire, I can kick her tush!
That makes me happy.

You can put the two of us down for those, ;cause we are seriously considering it.

Thankies,
Katie

+ (to Kameko's thing) HECK YEAH!
I'd so come down and join you guys, either in my bulbasaur costume (which I have randomly) or as goldeen.
hmmm... guess bulbasaur would be better, considering I really don't wanna get my dress wet... or I could just make a beedrill, or sandslash cosplay.
Yeah,
I should just end this post here,
i could just go on and on forever about pokemon
so I'm shutting up
bye
