I'll be Roxas, and a friend'll be Axel, but you already have them...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2 on:** April 13, 2009, 08:55:28 pm »

Yeah....I think I kinda have to have Marie and Anna in this group >_>;;; XDDDD

Sorry about that. But there will be plenty of duplicates. I am more of trying to get the harder organization members.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #3 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:30:12 pm »

Yeah I know they are. But it helps to ask people. Like I might try asking the Rude from kumoricon last year if he would join in. I think he would be a good Xaldin

Also I think it would be pretty sweet if we did get all 13 together if we all got our corresponding shirts XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #4 on:** April 13, 2009, 10:38:54 pm »

Yeah that is too bad. I got the Larxene one at Sakuracon, and Marie and Anna got Roxas and Axel ^_^

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 14, 2009, 10:35:03 pm »

Well...I might be able to convince my Axel to be Demex, like he was planning on doing before....

nikkiolie · « **Reply #6 on:** April 14, 2009, 10:39:15 pm »

Well see. I think LtCommanderRichie may be going as Demex >_> Maybe Vexen? He looks like a girl enough XD

Auricle · « **Reply #7 on:** April 15, 2009, 12:46:16 am »

Yeah~ I'm planning on cosplaying Demyx at this years Kumoricon. : D (You've prolly seen me as Demyx before, Nikki. :3)

And I totally want the number IX sweatshirt from KingdomArts like burning. : O I was bugging my mum about it a few weeks back.

Dana, you would be so adorable as Xion! X3

Auricle? She cosplays Demyx~

LtCommanderRichie said she would do it ^_^

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 15, 2009, 04:09:26 pm »

Vexen does....I donno...If I have the money, I may try and do Saix or Xagbar...Or maybe Xalden...

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #10 on:** April 15, 2009, 04:52:11 pm »

WOO YEAH KH GROUP!

You know, you guys can always have more than one Demyx if you like. I have more than just one costume for this con. Cosplay Contest, Cosplay Chess and general D.Gray-Man insanity besides those two will also be on my list. Three days, four costumes. Again. I'll be in and out of costumes probably a bit faster than you can blink.

I'll still be Demyx, though! Put too much work into that sitar not to.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #11 on:** April 15, 2009, 05:25:15 pm »

True, but you can do really epic pics with just one of each.

I understand we can have more than one but I would like to get a whole set of 13 or 14 together >_>

I will add other people to the list too.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #13 on:** April 16, 2009, 04:16:58 pm »

I wanted to post an update. As of now (this is subjected to change) this group would be meeting the Sunday of the con.

I also want to make this a little more fair to other people. I am trying to put together the best group possible so if you are interested in joining please PM me

Your Name
Your Age
A picture of past costumes
The character you are applying for
and where you live.

It would be best if each character could have their corresponding weapons as well so applicants would need to be able to make them or be able to buy them or have a friend make them

nikkiolie · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2009, 04:35:00 pm »

She has a key blade if I remember correctly >_> Yeah....in the previews for the new game she has a keyblade

hm. I know I have an old pink wig, but I don't think it's long enough for Marluxia. ><

nikkiolie · « **Reply #16 on:** April 19, 2009, 08:09:10 pm »

Alright I got another two that are going to be cosplaying Xemnas and Saix

So I still need:
Xigbar
Xaldin
Vexen
Lexaeus
Luxord

Thats only five more out of 14! If you have a friend that is wondering who they should cosplay as you could always mention it to them

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2009, 08:52:38 pm »

You've got me and Laurie as Marluxia and Zexion.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2009, 09:48:12 pm »

Yeah I know I have you two down as them K-rock

As for the costume we can talk it over

Lets start off with something simple: Gloves
I am using my moms leather gloves, there doesn't need to be much detailing in them.

Next the jacket...
I can't sew to save my life so I am buying mine. And just a personal issue of mine is that I like things to look the best so the place I am getting my jacket is quite expensive ($200) But for those of you interested. http://kingdom-arts.org/costumes.html She was at Sakuracon selling the Organization tee-shirts. I would say for people making their jackets try to get material that will give a leather/pleather look like the ones in the picture please ^_^;

Boots:
Despite what many people think their boots aren't lace up. They have a flat squareish toe. I was lucky enough to already have the perfect ones

And Dana (this is small details you don't have to do it) the girls have heels. If you really want to go into detail there is a design at the top of them but I am not too sure if I am going to add it or not.
boots
Detailing

Wigs: Wigs are another very important thing for a good costume. I get all my wigs at [img=http://stores.ebay.com/Professional-Only]http://Professional only[/img]Professionalonly on ebay.

Maybe latter I will go through and look for some wigs that might work for the characters.

OH yes the beads. I'm not sure if I am going to order them or make them....which ever I choose they are going to look like this and if someone wants to order these ones you can get them here for $25.

Weapons: I would like for everyone to have their characters weapons but I can understand if you don't have the time, money, or the skills to do them. There are a lot of tutorials on cosplay.com on how to make the weapons. If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I can try to help out as best as possible.

The last thing that I want to address is optional but it would really pull a costume together. Contacts. Some of the characters, such as Saix have yellow eyes and it would look so much better with contacts. Other characters it isn't much of a big deal. I am going to look in to getting some prescription ones (covered by my insurance) the next time I go to the eye doctor.

So that is what I have to say about the costumes. If anyone has any questions, concerns or objections or if you have any better suggestions please let me know.

Also the reason why I am getting the jacket at a different place from the beads is that I submitted the quote form at the place where I am getting the beads and they haven't gotten back to me yet.

Sayda · « **Reply #19 on:** April 19, 2009, 09:57:35 pm »

Anna and I have been thinking, and we aren't really sure we wanna be a part of a group Cosplay yet. DX We kinda like doing our own thing more then anything else. So for now Nichole, you can take us off the list!

nikkiolie · « **Reply #20 on:** April 19, 2009, 09:59:22 pm »

I understand. Would you at least be willing to join us for a photo shoot sometime?

Sayda · « **Reply #21 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:01:43 pm »

Oh probably! Photoshoots are always fun. >3

nikkiolie · « **Reply #22 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:04:10 pm »

Yeah and it would be pretty sweet to have some pictures of the whole group XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #23 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:22:31 pm »

Dana I don't think the contacts are an issue for you. I think her eyes are a normal color. I was more worried about character who have strange color eyes.

As for the material that is alright. If it cost too much don't worry about it. I would take a look though. There is some material that LOOK like pleather but costs half as much. But again, if it is an issue then don't worry about it.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #24 on:** April 19, 2009, 10:38:33 pm »

Sounds like a plan.

I'm sure there is some sort of material that will give off a shine when you take a picture. That might not be a bad idea. To take a picture of the material and see how it turns out

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #25 on:** April 20, 2009, 08:29:29 pm »

Well nikki is Lar Lar, and I'm Marly. And then my friend is Zexion. That's about all I know. Haha

nikkiolie · « **Reply #26 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:01:45 pm »

Alright I will post the info. We now need a Axel and Roxas >_>;

D8 Awe

nikkiolie · « **Reply #28 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:34:17 pm »

I was planning on asking her. I'll send her a text right now ^_^

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #29 on:** April 20, 2009, 09:44:51 pm »

LAWL dA is broken. I was trying to find a good picture of Marly to check what eye color he has (blue, so I'm good on the contact issue) and it kept saying there were zero deviations to display for 'All Time' which was a little weird. So I checked by putting in Akuroku and got zero and went, "Oh! Yup, yeah they're broken."

nikkiolie · « **Reply #30 on:** April 20, 2009, 10:04:42 pm »

Well good news! Missy will cosplay Axel and I am asking if Emily will but I bet she will.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #31 on:** April 22, 2009, 09:43:47 pm »

is it a BIG zipper or a little one?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #32 on:** April 23, 2009, 12:05:57 am »

Yeah that would help. But oh well I'm sure it will still looks amazing. You are so good at sewing ^_^

nikkiolie · « **Reply #33 on:** April 23, 2009, 03:58:11 pm »

I don't think anyone will notice. Lots of people have the smaller zippers anyway

nikkiolie · « **Reply #34 on:** April 23, 2009, 04:16:52 pm »

I don't think you need to worry about it. I mean you don't plan on walking hunched over. So even if it touched the ground when you bend over or sit it should drag, just touch. And their coats aren't long enough to touch the ground when they are standing so if yours done then it needs to be shorter ^_^

KairiLee · « **Reply #35 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:50:02 pm »

dudee.
everyone gets active when i'm not around har.

i wanted to cosplay xion this year but don't know if i have the funds to complete her in time~.
not really throwing myself out there for involvement in the group since xion is taken & everything,
but just wanted to stop by & say something since i had been lurking around for kingdom hearts activity this year at the con & of course it happens when i decided to not check in for awhile xD .

i know your pain about the expensive-ness of the people that make the awesome coats nikkiolie,
main reason i'm not sure if i can do xion,
but asdfghjkl those coats are worth it c: .

nikkiolie · « **Reply #36 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:51:01 pm »

Yeah I am so excited to get mine. I hope I can get it around July. I may have to add a lining in the hood so it doesn't look too weird.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #37 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:52:18 pm »

Yeah it happens. Tifa and I will be saving up as soon as summer starts and we start working full time. If we don't get the coats we've been planning on for k con we'll prolly go permanently emo for the whole weekend.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #38 on:** May 07, 2009, 08:59:49 pm »

what coats are you planing on getting? So Organization soot at 3 then? Maybe after we are done then we can steal a photographer for a private shoot for this group?

KairiLee · « **Reply #39 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:00:48 pm »

i was going for the lining if i remember correctly myself Cx .
my total for the xion coat was like 290$, at the most sdfghjkl.
the only thing i can complain about regarding her jackets is the unfunctional hood-- since to have the hood accurate it would ruin how the hood & collar are supposed to lay and look.
i mean i think you can use it, but its just not accurate, not that it matters THAT much hah.

i need a job.
badly lol.
i hope your work goes well k-rock & you don't be forced into emo-ness by lack of awesome jackets 8C !
lmao.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #40 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:11:26 pm »

I'm not sure. Tifa found them and they're really accurate(with the big zippers and everything). I want to get one with a functional hood though. I'll try to see if I can't find the link.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #41 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:13:20 pm »

I should have lots of money by the time k-con comes around.

I was going to check in with the woman commissioning mine in a week or two.

There are the two places I was looking, and the two places that look the best
http://orgxiii.org/commish_organization13.htm

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #42 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:21:08 pm »

I like the look of the Kingdom Arts one, and it says she can make the hood functional on request, so I might go with hers. I'll check with Tifa's pick once she sends me the link. (I failed at finding it. XD)

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #43 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:32:47 pm »

Yay~ Double post.

Okay, so I'm really leaning toward the orgxiii.org one, but the functional hood has only been made with the smaller type of zipper so far, and IDK if they'd be able to do it with the bigger one. Would that be a problem nikki?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #44 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:37:14 pm »

It took a while for the Ogrxiii.org to respond and they wont be able to get your coat to you any earlier than August 1st. I went with the kingdom-arts because I personally though that the few differences there were looked better there.

KairiLee · « **Reply #45 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:49:43 pm »

Saeru (orgxii.org) was the one i contacted regarding my coat.
i had pretty much dicussed everything with her & she sent me the contract & everything for when i'm able to afford the jacket.
i had a chance to have a opening allll the way back in december but had to turn it down cause of the need of funds.

i'm still fighting myself over the hood thing sdfghjkl.
i don't know which i want.
i'm getting the big zipper & i think i was gunna go with black myself for xion.
even though in-game it looks more dark grey?
in the rendered models of xion in magazine shots it looks black.
i hate nomura for doing this thing with the jacket differences & the hair colour variations 8'C .
makes deciding harder pah.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #46 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:51:29 pm »

I don't really think it is much of a choice in the hood. A hood would mess up my hair and it doesn't look good down

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #47 on:** May 07, 2009, 09:59:44 pm »

>.O Uggers... this is a tough choise...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #48 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:01:09 pm »

Also I meet the girl from kingdom-arts in person so I feel a little more connected to her. She is the one that had the organization shirts at sakuracon.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #49 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:16:56 pm »

Yeah, I think I'll sleep on it and talk it over with Tifa tomorrow to see what she thinks. I know we're going to get the org shirts from the kingdom-hearts for sure.
