I just watched this, was pretty awesome. Can we build those motorized rollerblades now? I would cosplay this if I had some AT's.
(forgot to post then added this)
I looked it up and don't see any sort of wheel mechanics but I did notice a few rear blade powered types. I bet we could get some real AT's, though not as powerful the show, if someone really wanted to build them. Not to mention a year or so worth of just design :D I so want an AT gang. Some how I think I might need to ride rollerblades in the first place, if I want something like that hehe.
-
^ I'm totally the same way ^^;
But that sounds so awesome! I would love to have AT's as well >w<
Anywhos, I'm being Akito <3
And I'm planning on getting contacts so I can also switch to Agito anytime!
So I'm being both...
-
lulz to moving an eye patch to become someone else.
-
I'm gonna be cosplaying Simca with her short hair on the first day
-
So excited, I just found some actual AT's while browsing youtube some more on the cosplay. They are a work in progress still but they are 100% real, however not yet the speed you would need for doing much. To bad they are not sellable yet. :*(

And the maker's (his groups?) website

-
I will be Agito to Kristi's Akito! >;D
-
Yays! My bro....Wait...We're the same person....
*hugs self*
^w^
Do you think we can get Amanda to be Ikki, so we could both attack her -w-
-
You mean one of you will be trying to make out with her and the other will be trying to stomp her face in?
-
Details, details...But yeah, pretty much ^^
But I love my Ikki-kun <3
-
I love Ikki-kun too!!!! *knife behind back*
Amanda would be HYSTERICAL Ikki, but she has SO MANY cosplays already.
-
Yeah. That's true. *sigh*
We shall go on an Ikki-kun hunt!!!
-
Hahah! Skipping and prancing til we find one? XDD
-
Hahah! Skipping and prancing til we find one? XDD
-
Exactly!
We totally need to just run around con asking people if they've seen Ikki XD
I hope we get one.
-
I carry a really cheap, plastic knife! XDDD
-
And I will have my shark plush ^w^
-
So I guess I am now Ikki!
-
Hhahaha! I did good, right Akito?? I recruited an Ikki-kuun!!
-
Yeah yeah ... Now I nee to rewatch
-
Nyaa~ Ikki-kun!
*glomps*
Yays Agito!
-
*GLOMPS Ikki with Aki-chan*
-
GLAH!
-
*glares at Ringo and Simca*
Our's!
But and I really happy that you agreed Amanda ^^
You know what version you're doing?
-
YES IKKI IS OURS!!!
-
Still deciding... But probably the first...
-
Cool ^^
I need to rewatch the series. I'm reading it right now, but I feel like I need to watch it again...Damn not having enough free time to watch anime >A<
-
Yep Yep
-
oh! We have a little crow yay!
-
So I just went thro all the posts! Sounds great! we have a real good team so far! as far as AT's go, i want some too!! I don't know what i'm doing about simca's shoes just yet... suggestions?
-
I'd just make them as boots. So pretty much, they would be her boot/skates, but with out the wheels on them.
I'm not sure what I'm doing for Akito yet...Probably just converse, since he wears those when he goes to the school.
-
I'm pretty sure simca has regular at's, only they have a boot like legging that goes up to the knee/thigh. You could add leather or fabric to a rollerblade if you wanted to have them. I think she also has a different pair of at's that actually look like boots, but I don't know if that is right. You probably wouldn't even want to try to make those any how..
-
I still say make normal boots. B/c we couldn't go around the con area with blades on. But for a photoshoot you could.
-
I don't know about that. If you walked on the skates in most of the areas I bet they wouldn't notice/say anything. Just depends on how much time you are going to spend playing around compared to sitting down at panels and relaxing. I would so wear my AT's the whole time (or until my feet started to hurt.)
-
Yeah, I think I will just get converse, too. What color, Kristi?
-
Her AT's look like they are green with two white stripes down the front.
-
Her...? Oh you mean Simca. No he's talking about Agito.
He wears just regular converse/black and white.
-
oh ya wops, that was simca's.
-
Okay, cool. I can get some by Con.
-
So the boots idea was a gr8 suggestion (mainly cause i'm short), but I can't seem to find any green ones. I'm thinking about getting converse, unless someone can find sum green boots :)
-
Well, there's always Go-Go boots off Ebay or something. But I'd say just make boot covers, b/c finding an actual boot that high wouldn't be that cheap.
-
Ya you probably want to make shoe covers. It will be more comfortable and a lot cheaper. If you had boots already that were usable, you could also paint them to the right look.
-
well i'm wearing this one: http://www.cosplayhouse.com/Air-Gear-Simca-of-the-Swallow-Version-03-Cosplay-Costume.html so the height is not a problem, and i don't really own boots because I've had knee surgery and broken my ankle, and spent so much time recovering that I just havent had time to wear them :) I was going to get custom made allstars the same color as the pants (maybe slightly off).... I was hoping that would look good...
-
I can't remember when she actually wears those leggings in the anime. Is it like, just the first episode?
-
I don't think she actually wears them, but that's her outfit on the cover for the second volume.
I love those things too!
So, yeah, just simple boots would work ^^
And I am now dedicated to learn how to ride blades and then get a pair to make them like Akito's!
-
If you want to get cheap rollerblades, go to goodwill. They are used and beat up, but if you don't know how to ride it won't matter as long as you find ones that fit. It is easy to blade around, sadly we do not have great concrete to ride around here in oregon. Go find a skate park and ask a cute boy/girl to teach you :D If no one is blading just ask everyone there if they know how to skate well, or know someone or somewhere with more roller bladers.
If you get a decently working pair of old skates, you can easily turn them into AT's by taking out the middle two wheels. Then just add modeling clay/foam, paint a base coat, then add details.
Here is a video I found a while ago of how to make decent AT's.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pv9jVO4YlqU
-
I got my blades from big 5, they were on clearance for only 45 bucks. But i've been riding rollderblades since i was like 8, so i'm willing to shell out the money for them.
And yeah, i know she doesnt actually wear that outfit in any of the chapters, but i think it's totally cool. it's one of the reasons i started reading it! (that and i got to watch the anime on netflix)
As far as making ur own AT's, totally cool!!! I like the idea. Anyone going to try it?
-
I was planning on getting a pair from Goodwill. Especially to practice on. I know some friends who could help me.
I might try and do that...Though I don't think I'll actually have the time...But who knows!
Soi, I totally agree. I wanna do the cover art for Akito/Agito some time <3
Would be awesome to get a whole group to do the cover art. It just looks so much cooler! And it make you stand out more ^^
-
Omgosh yes! if we can we should totally have 2 groups, the cover art group, and the regular group. But i know that it's more money and such, so I don't expect this to be feasible, but still!
and good luck learning how to rollerblade neko! i LOVE it, and it's good exercise.
-
I know I probably won't be able to bring it to con, I have enough cosplays as it is @.@
But maybe we could have a photoshoot some time?
And thanks ^^ It looks like lots of fun!
-
Double posting b/c it's been a couple of days and I'm updating......
So, my Akito cosplay came today. I love wearing it, but it was hand-made by the person I bought it from and so not in the greatest shape. Plus it's a little too small...So I'm probably gonna sell it myself and then get a different one.
It's nice...But not worth $50......
-
That sucks it is to small, did you give them measurements?
-
It wasn't a commission. She made it for herself and then was selling it.
It's my fault for not asking enough questions...But the sizes she gave made it fit me...It's just a little too tight, but it does fit.
But as I said, it's not in the greatest condition, so I'm planning on selling it (or sending it back) and getting it commissioned so it'll actually fit me...
Especially since the only thing of it that fits me is the jacket...The pants don't fit and so the straps don't either....*sigh*
-
Aw man! that sux. to wait to get a cosplay only to find it doesnt fit. it was the same with my soi fon costume, only it was way too big.
i hope u have success getting one that fits!
-
Baby Face had something to say but has forgotten... >_<
-
Though, I've been wearing it and such, and I've been growing attatched to it...I'm working on losing some weight, so I'll probably see what that does. But I can't shrink my shoulders....I'll probably fix it up and then sell it for what it's actually worth. Depending on what the person says about a refund...
But truely, I need to talk to Agito to see what he is thinking, so we can attempt to have matching outfits.
I did find these awesome Akito and Agito that made thee jackets, so I'm talking with them about it.
Ikki-kun.....fail.
-
I've seen a few really well done jacket/pants. I don't know what the material they used but it looked just like the anime, some sort of nice shiny plastic like material. It sucks the costume you got was too small, but if you made it yourself it would fit for sure! I know not everyone likes to make their costume, but to me, I don't think I would wear something I didn't make myself. I don't feel like there is a reason to dress up in a costume if I didn't make it, or at least help...
-
I usually make my cosplays, but I didn't want to tackle this one...
But if Ikki-kun and my mom helps, I probably will ^^
I think the one thing I really like about this jacket I got, is that the white stripe down the arm is a zipper. I love zippers and I think itjust gives it a cool effect!
-
Hey guys! just posting on this so it gets back up there in the thread! i hope everyone is still thinking of air gear for k-con 2011! i know i am! i've been growing my hair out, and am now debating just dying it pink for k-con, instead of buying a wig (cause my hair is blond anyway). thoughts?
-
Dye it well and I don't see a problem. Real hair is soo much better, you just have to stick with it for a while or re-dye it after :/
-
i've had my hair purple and blue b4 (yeah yeah, my mistake on the blue), but never pink, and hers is a light shade of pink, not a bright one, so that might make it hard for me to keep. luckily im only planning on being simca for 1 day, so i might make it the first day (depending on when our photo-shoot is). i just don't know if im going to be able to get my hair long enuf by then.
-
hey so I might be cos laying agito or maybe a fem agito....
-
I've got all of my Simca cosplay finished except for her goggles! :D Yay~! Add me to the list please!
-
Sui, I think it'd be fine, but yeah, I'd say make sure you re-dye when you actually wanna be her. That's always the good thing about wigs, they keep their color forever and they don't kill your hair...But if you want, go right ahead.
Jinx, well, if you were Akito, you could get away with being girly XD
Kameko, you should post pictures!!!
-
haha I agree and I might do that but I have an idea that I might use.....
also im pretty good on roller blades. If I don't do agito/akito then you got any ideas for other air gear cosplays?
-
What kinda hair do you have? What wigs do you own, etc...
-
well I have long blonde hair but I'm planing on buying a wig
-
Kameko, you should post pictures!!!
My wig is getting shipped soon so as soon as I get it I'll try! :D
-
omg that will b awesome!
-
Long and blond......Well, there aren't really any characters with that kinda hair.
So I guess since you're getting a wig anyways, Agito will be good ^^
I might do a casual Agito/Akito, but it really depends what's happening with my other cosplays and such...
-
cool cool that sounds awesome
-
ok guys, i got the changes up! maybe we can try and find ppls to fill the holes? we have a lot of simca's and agito's, maybe we can get sum others? I'm looking forward to it guys!!
-

But there is a blonde in the manga! :O
-
Oh, and my bf is gonna be Ikki. <3

Oh right, totally forgot about Kururu! I love her hair XD
As for getting more peoples, I don't think I can convince my group to add another cosplay to the list...We're planning on doing Air Gear next year though for sure!
-
well I'm reading the manga now but I haven't gotten to kururu yet. I watched the anime and it rocked but it stops right before she comes in and its a lot diffident then the manga.
-
Yeah, it is. I like the manga better~
-
hmmm, guess I'll find out :)
-
omg, <3 kururu. sorry, have been so busy haven't been paying attention to the boards lately. i would also have to agree, the manga is way more awesome. I kinda wish they had continued with the anime tho, but by now it'd prolly b like bleach, wayyyy too drawn out.
-
hmmm, I heard a rumor they might try to finish the anime. anyway if thats true I better get reading lol
-
At least with this story it will have to end eventually. Unlike Bleach and Naruto which is still going @.@
So I'm hoping to get contacts for Agito so I can actually switch my eye patch to be both of them ^^
Since Akito has brownish eyes, I don't have to worry about having a contact for that eye!
-
imma need brown contacts.......which i already have yay
-
Nice.
I'm planning on getting yellow/gold contacts for another cosplay, so I'll probably just use those for Agito, and not worry about having the slit pupil.
-
haha awesome.
-
right so photoshoot or no? any ideas?
-
Oh definetly a photoshoot. I don't know the area tho, so I dunno what will/will not work. Suggestions?
-
haha I don't have any, I have never been there. but maybe we should come up with a day?
-
Well as far as days go I'd be hoping to have it on the day that bleach isnt. but if i have to choose a day i'd say sun? cause then we can get out the initial "omg its kumoricon!!" jitters.... although a lot of the cool stuff normally happens sun.... opinions?
-
sundsy sounds pretty good, but first lets see if more people can do sunday and then plan it when there aren't any big events.
-
I need help trimming the bangs of my Simca wig! ;o;
-
haha their to long?
-
haha their to long?
Yeah. :P
-
I think we'll decide the day for the shoot when it gets a little closer. It is only April after all :) Hopefully we will be able to plan it around everyone's schedule, but chances are it will conflict with what at least 1 person wanted to do.
On a side note, I'm getting a new camera! Last year I shot everything on my kodak that only has 7 megapixels, which didn't go too well as far a zoom goes. Anyone have any suggestions as to photo editing software?
-
free?
-
lol, free is always good. i suppose i will just troll around the internet and hope to come across something.
-
We are not sure yet, but Blender and I MIGHT be going as Kazu and Emily
Blender- Kazu
Teddy_Bearxx- Emily
-
yay!! well i hope you guys do!
makes me so excited for this year's k-con.
on a side note, i reserved my hotel this weekend cause it looks like they r filling up fast. i used expedia, and they didn't have any openings at all at the hilton.
-
I'll have to call them at lunch with Tasha.
but oththan that.
I'm hoping we make a cute Kazu and Emily, there cute together.
but I'm confused. what color IS Emilys hair?
I read it was dark brown, in the anime its like black/blue/navy...
a funky color
-
It's a natural brown.
You two will be awesome!
I might be able to be Akito this year ^^ Since I'm going through cosplays and narrowing it down.
-
Perhaps my Ikki jacket will get Done <.<
-
Ah, you're doing the team jacket?
I'll probably just do a casual version, unless I can make/afford one of his other outfits.
-
the black one I don't think so i think it's the red one
-
I'll be cosplaying Ikki with the Replica of his AT's in the Kogarasumaru outfit. I'll also be getting a plush crow and somehow getting it to stay on the wing or shoulder and I'll be possibly having my friend help me make some emblems =3.
Now I have to ask some say his hair is like a really dark blue almost black and some say it's black. What do all of you think?
I think it's really dark blue almost black so I got a dark blue wig that I may darken a bit more.
-
I am doing the red one
-
Will do. I'm doing the other one, Also it was debut at sakuracon 2011 on Sunday and Fri/Sat nights as well at the raves.
Ashitaka6 is my DA
I am doing the red one
-
so we have many agito/akitos......but um i was wondering if I could get some advice on my fem version.
-
Ashitaka, I think going with a dark blue that's close to black would be fine. I have a problem with the anime b/c it seems they gave everyone a hint of a strange color in their hair.
I've always seen Ikki with a dark brown, close to black hair (similar to my own hair). So a more natural look. But you can do what ever you like!
I'm thinking of being a different character since I will for sure be doing Akito next year with my group...
Any ideas?
-
I was meaning the jacket <.<
-
so we have many agito/akitos......but um i was wondering if I could get some advice on my fem version.
Well i'd have to say that it depends on if ur doing akito or agito, because they r two totally different ppl (so to speak). I would do the normal pants, just kinda baggy, straight-leg (i believe that's what they are).... then because ur going fem, i'd pick a more form-fitting jacket? sound good?
-
this is driving me crazy; Is Emily's rider t-shirt a black sportsbra like shirt? or a white tanktop/t-shirt?
-
this is driving me crazy; Is Emily's rider t-shirt a black sportsbra like shirt? or a white tanktop/t-shirt?
Its been so long since i've read/watched it that i had to google... so provided google isnt lying to me, i'd say the white tanktop/t-shirt.
-
Okay, thank youâ„
-
ok, so now its my turn for a question. i'm working on simca's patch, and i've seen pics with the lettering for "simca" being white and being light purple. so which do u think it is guys/gals?
-
Light purple in my opinion.
-
if you cant tell I would do a reeeeeeeeally light purple so its almost white kinda thing, that way you cant really be wrong
-
so hows it goin'?
I found Emilys outfit. Its a back shot but the front top is just a black sports bra like top.
I think the white T-shirt is in there somewhere too though.
http://mangable.com/air_gear/chapter-225/22/
-
Oh, well if you're doing that outfit than it is a sportsbra type top. But if you're doing the school uniform, than it's a white shirt.....
And I've decided I'm not gonna do Air Gear at con. If we ever decide to do a meet up during the summer, though I'll show up ^^
-
Well, I'm going to do both eventually. I want to get all the Kogarasumaru gang:)
The only thing I need to worry about is the neckband,
any news on the skirt Kristi? So I know if I need to put work in with my grandma.
I found a Kogarasumaru Jacket (http://cgi.ebay.com/Air-Gear-Kogarasumaru-Cosplay-Jacket-custom-made-1223-/330540574654?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4cf5c0e7be).
All the jackets are the same for all of them right? Cause if they still have it my first paycheak, Im getting it if so.
-
Just wanted to post to get us back up on the boards. How's everyones cosplays coming?? Also is it a good time to start talkin about our picture date?
-
So, I decided that I'm not gonna be able to do Air Gear this year, so planning for next year! And I think I'm gonna be Lind, since everyone does Akito/Agito~
-
awww, we'll miss you neko. should stop by the photoshoot anyway, just to say hi :) and yeah, lind would b awesome, cause ur right, like no one ever does it.
-
I might bring my Ringo, i might also bring crossiant mask, i went last year to the airgear photoshoot as crossiant mask but no one showed up:(.
-
That sucks! I would totally want to get some pictures of you as ether. I hope there is at least a small showing this year.
-
lol, crossiant mask makes me smile :) and don't worry blue, there will definetly b ppl there this time!! It'll rock! and i'll have a new camera, so we'll get sum awesome pics. shall we start talking date? i'm thinking day 2
-
So just keeping us up on the boards here. How's everyone's cosplays going? I'm ordering mine in the next couple weeks. I know I'm lazy, yes, I own a sewing machine, but I work 40+ hours a week, so I have money, but not time :( I'm excited tho!
-
Looking forward to seeing your simca outfit Sui and others. ^^
-
My Simca hat needs definite fixing....and I need to paint my goggles. Oh, and straighten my wig and trim the bangs. I have more to do than I thought! D:
-
lol, it always seems like u have more to do than u thought. i dunno why that is. :)
should we start talking about photo shoot? anyone know if there's a nice park or something nearby?
-
Uh you mean like the big one right outside the hotel across the street? Google it, its a nice looking place.
-
I got to hope I have enough money.
Meep said she would commission my Emily school costume~
-
@ teddy: i hope u have enuf too :D i look forward to seeing emily there!
@ camn: park looks good! do we all think the park is a good place to put this? to me it just seems very "air gear"
-
There are some kinda crappy buildings near by if people wanted to try and take some rail/wall riding pictures. Do this at your OWN RISK, because I don't remember if they are on obviously abandoned property or just not so well kept property. Ether way, if you scout around a bit you can find some other spots to shoot as well.
-
I like that idea, I just need skates.
-
Ok, we aren't getting too many posts (busy lives, huh :) ), so i'ma arbitrarily decide to make it day 2 at 2p. If this doesn't work with anyone, lemme know, k? I realize the schedule of what's going on isn't officially out yet, so it can b subject to change. Just lemme know what u think
-
I'm going to cosplay as simca the first day and Ceil the 2 and 3,but! depending on the schedual for day 2 I might be able to make it as simca.
Speaking of which almost done with it!!! X3
-
:)
-
i have at's!! so scary to wear though, havne't gotten the chance to really skate in them since you go super fast and it scares me not being able to stop.
if i did ringo i'd be here on sunday but i might bring croissant mask and could change just for the shoot.
-
so bad news... due to financial issues (that being i'm moving out, to portland, a few weeks after kcon), i won't b able to get my simca cosplay. :( i only have 1/2 of what i need to get it, so it'll have to wait til next year. I am still planning on going to the photoshoot with my new, sweet camera to shoot the pics and such, so i hope to see u all there!
-
This is sad news indeed.
-
Btw, Panty is happening next year so I'm available to be Simca for the dance(I just need dress ideas). :P And I'm gonna try and have my Ikki, it depends on if I can find a good wig.
-
O.O Where did you get the AT's?!
I just finished this series~ Cracked up. It makes me want to read the manga~ >3
If I could squeeze in a cosplay from this for this year I would try to! Not sure yet though cause I have little funds and not really any spare fabric laying about.
-
@veraca: yeah, the anime is hilarious, but the manga is 200% better! and it actually covers everything! If you wanna just jump in where the anime left off, you'll b fine cause u have all the essentials. I dunno what chapter tho u'll wanna start at exactly. I'm sure sum1 here can recommend.
Do you guys realize how close kcon is? As I write this it's 22 days, 7 hours, and 31 mins til day 1. (yeah, there's an app for that)
-

There seems to always be an app, or about to be one, for just about anything.. /scared
-
So I will have my Agito/Akito cosplay with me, though, I'm not all that sure if I will go or not.
-
We should make the photoshoot for Day 1. ;o;
