@ Pein- That was the plan. I just need to find the meeting place per say. I haven't been there in awhile and I forget what is around the area, and I'd prefer we don't meet by the zoo seeing as it is a Saturday and it's going to be crowded as hell. I need to go there soon and see where we can meet.

I might be able to come... if so it is a tie between Absol and Arcanine

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #52 on:** July 04, 2009, 08:47:24 am »

I don't think I can come anymore, I'm so busy I forgot this was here so I forgot what day it was and made other plans, sorry guys. Plus I wanted to finish my Dragonair gijinka.

EDIT: Yeah, I can't come I'm out of town the 22nd. maybe >> I'll have to ask around though.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #53 on:** July 04, 2009, 10:29:37 am »

Sorry you can't come Konan, hopefully you have fun doing whenever you decide to do. I'm going to make a list on the first post of who is coming/not coming.Tell me if I forgot you.

Also Shinigami_Lover, I think Arcanine would be cute.

I also am not sure who is coming or not anymore since it's been a long time since this has been posted. Could you guy please post if you are confirmed or not and your Pokemon? Thanks guys!

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #54 on:** July 04, 2009, 10:57:52 am »

Ah, turns out I can come, i had my dates mixed up. It's a toss up between Dragonair and Glaceon

eternal-spring · « **Reply #55 on:** July 04, 2009, 04:55:34 pm »

Okay. So Hazuza and now my boyfriend, his sister, my sister, and her friend are planning on coming along with me.

Hazuza - Charmeleon
Sis - Teddiursa, Lugia, or Aipom
Sis' Friend - TBA
Boyfriend - Electabuzz
BF's Sis - Either Cresselia or Leafeon?
Me - Kadabra

Ri-chan · « **Reply #56 on:** July 05, 2009, 12:06:14 am »

Hey, I will probably go as Teddiursa or as like Raichu. I don't know yet. If I can't get them done in time I'd like to go as a photographer or as one of the trainers. I think I could get like May/Haruka or Dawn/Hikari done in time.

Pein_Cupcake · « **Reply #57 on:** July 06, 2009, 12:13:19 am »

I am going! I am doing Girafarig.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #58 on:** July 07, 2009, 09:38:38 am »

I've got a bunch of my buddies coming as well but I need to figure out who will be who (and who's costumes I will be making). Also, next Tuesday I'm going to drop by the park on the way home. I'll figure out a spot to meet-up at and take pictures of it. I'll also find a place close by that we will end up going to.

eternal-spring · « **Reply #59 on:** July 07, 2009, 12:46:44 pm »

I am so excited for this and I can't wait to see the outcome! ^o^-

Sister - Lugia
Sister's Friend - Ho-oh
Boyfriend's sis - Cresselia

Sounds fun I want in!!! I kinda like the umbreon but I would have to make it for a guy which should not be that hard.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #67 on:** July 12, 2009, 08:44:39 pm »

If anyone knows of a good way to tint steel on a budget (11 pink, 14 blue), I can do Skarmory. I've got about 40 square feet of 26 gauge steel and wouldn't mind putting it to use.

My Skarmory used to be in my Silver tournament party until I discovered the versatility of Dragonite. I still sometimes use Skarmory when I really need a steel type, but usually I use Kadabra for Psychic and Dark, 3 Dragonites for Flying, Dragon, Fire, Water, Fighting, Grass, and Thunder, Tyranitar for ground, rock, poison, and water, and I leave the 6th slot open. Usually I can cover all but one or two elements. :>

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #68 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:08:32 pm »

I'm happy you might be joining in Charles. I'll get things updated on Tuesday after I go to the park and scope things out.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #69 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:28:15 pm »

I figure it's acceptable for me because I'm treating it as a gaming cosplay.

I might also make it adaptable to be a Kushala Daora armor cosplay (Monster Hunter). That way I could cosplay from 2 of my favourite video games. :> (I could probably also do Warlords with the same plates; do a Slayer Knight cosplay or something.)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #70 on:** July 12, 2009, 09:59:41 pm »

That would be a good idea.
Also, I thought I'd tell you that Kyle mentioned at me doing Gijinka Monster Hunter cosplay. I'm slightly thinking about it.
And Piggles is my favorite thing in that game <3

DancingTofu · « **Reply #71 on:** July 12, 2009, 10:07:35 pm »

Charlie man, will you be hot as balls in that. My god. Hope you don't die of heat stroke.

Well I hope he does. Then I can raid his body for organs and pay the rest of my way through college

Going to Washington Park today after class. I will find an excellent spot for us.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #74 on:** July 14, 2009, 04:01:16 pm »

Double post that I might edit later if no one posts after me.

Found a good spot for us to meetup. I walked for awhile to find the place I originally liked but I figured it would not be fun to walk to in costume. I'll post up pictures/directions after I rest.

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #75 on:** July 14, 2009, 04:06:09 pm »

Like what kinda bad walking???
Like straight up a hill???

DancingTofu · « **Reply #76 on:** July 14, 2009, 10:38:05 pm »

I doubt I'll walk there wearing everything. I'll probably just wear the gauntlets, greaves, and plate, then put on the shoulder plates, wig (if I don't just dye my hair; that's the colour I want anyway), tasset, and helm later.

Arrow · « **Reply #77 on:** July 16, 2009, 02:37:28 pm »

-sneaks in-
I'm going to be doing a Skymin cosplay, and I'd love to go to this, but... I work on the twenty-second. At the Oregon Zoo, conveniently enough. If I somehow get the day off or get out of work early, I'll definitely go, though! I'd love to meet up with some of you people if you wouldn't mind me joining you.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #78 on:** July 16, 2009, 02:40:20 pm »

No problem Arrow, the more Pokemon the merrier!

And I'm going to sit my ass down right now and get working on directions.

EDIT: Done! I got everyone in the list updated too. Let me know if I missed you/don't have the right Pokemon. And feel free to ask any questions about the area and such.

tofutakeout · « **Reply #79 on:** July 17, 2009, 03:18:38 pm »

I'm still coming to this for sure as jigglypuff. :3 I hope she looks okay. :<

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #80 on:** July 20, 2009, 01:32:12 am »

Ok so does anyone know how to make ears and a tail???
My cosplay is going to be a Shiny Umbreon and I have no idea how to start the ears

DancingTofu · « **Reply #81 on:** July 20, 2009, 01:41:58 am »

For the ears, I'd use felt around a thick wire frame. Copper wire tends to be both firm and malleable, so I'd use that. With the angling of the ears, you probably want to make the wire frame so that it sits with a wide base on your head, and build it into the wig if you're using one. (I don't know how you'll do the costume without one) A headband would probably slip a lot.

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #82 on:** July 20, 2009, 02:56:37 am »

Ahh ha, I was there yesterday. I'm leaning more towards dragonair than Glaceon

DooFeRthePanda · « **Reply #83 on:** July 20, 2009, 05:51:35 am »

sooo wish i could go to this.T____T

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #84 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:22:34 am »

A head band won't slip too much if you don't a buy a crappy one Griff. Just make sure to color it the same color as your wig/hair. You can even you a really thick interfacing on the inside of the ear to help hide the appearance of the wire inside the ears (It will also make them nice and stiff). I'd stay away from felt if you have any sewing skills, it just looks a little tacky in my opinion. Broadcloth and cotton has a verity of colors and works really nice with accessories and such. Also, copper wire is excellent for stuff like this as Tofu said. You can get it at Home Depot for about 18 cents a foot depending on the thickness of the gauge.

As for the tail, you can look up tutorials on the internet on how to make a Halloween cats tail and base it on that.

Ok well i was not thinking of a headband or a wig. I was going to us a hoodie and sew the ears into that. as for the tail i was just going to make that from scratch. although I could put a headband into the hood so i could attach the wire to something besides my head XP

gladimus · « **Reply #86 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:53:25 am »

I'd like to go! I'll be dressed as a Team Rocket Espeon.

I probably wont get to go to the con though T ^T

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #87 on:** July 21, 2009, 12:57:58 am »

I've decided on Dragonair, since I love Dragonair much more than I do Glaceon.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #88 on:** July 21, 2009, 01:44:31 am »

I might do Lairon instead of Skarmory. Hair colour and length is right and I wouldn't have to go through the hell of trying to stain steel pink. D:

Griff_the_dragoon · « **Reply #89 on:** July 21, 2009, 11:04:13 pm »

Ya and is staining steel even possable

Hazuza · « **Reply #90 on:** July 22, 2009, 02:04:32 am »

Well, you coulda painted it with a paint for stained glass :0 Not sure how well that would work though.

I am going to try this. Where could one get such paint?

Hazuza · « **Reply #92 on:** July 22, 2009, 02:14:12 am »

Most craft stores have it next to their other paints :3 I've even seen it at Joanns. Just look for one that says 'glass' or 'transparent' or something.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #93 on:** July 22, 2009, 02:22:43 am »

Awesome, thanks!

Jameson, you can totally use some of this for your glasses. I think the pink would be the right color, and it would look TOTALLY pro. :>

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #94 on:** July 22, 2009, 01:28:26 pm »

THE GLASSES ARE RED
ARE YOU BLIND CHARLES?

DancingTofu · « **Reply #95 on:** July 22, 2009, 08:43:50 pm »

Well, I could probably use a red paint. I imagine a lot of color would be lost when painting on steel because it's a much denser surface, so it won't absorb nearly as much. Pink might be too pale anyway.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #96 on:** July 22, 2009, 08:51:28 pm »

I'm aware of this.

I'm just saying; saving money is rational. Much more important that looking dead-accurate, especially when cosplay is probably around 3000 on my list of priorities in life.

I'm on a master quest...to pull together a cosplay of the unsung trainer, Yellow. I'm also going to add accessories to make the cosplay convertible to a custom Pikachu.
