Yeah but my Bolin convinced me to stay.

You can be whom ever you want! There will be a butt load of Korras this year...

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #52 on:** June 06, 2012, 06:37:24 pm »

Korra would be cheaper though-
I would have to order her costume.

I'm at a toss between doing Fire Nation Katara or sticking to Korra.. D:

Fire Nation Katara is so pretty! DO IT. And then I wouldn't be one the few(or only?) ones doing Fire Nation disguise.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #54 on:** June 07, 2012, 01:18:38 pm »

I'll cut out Kairi and see what I can do for FN Katara then

who are you doing schemer?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #55 on:** June 07, 2012, 05:30:51 pm »

She is doing FN Suki

I started working on my Azula dress and I have a question about the fabric choice. My fabric is pretty much the same fabric she used http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3066541/ It sits about the same (bunching in a few spots but it will sit beter once its ironed and finished but it will still bunch a little). My question is does it look alright or should I try something else?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #56 on:** June 07, 2012, 08:17:29 pm »

I like it. It feels more natural that they would use silky fabric for their clothes, so I think it should be fine.

The_Emo_Schemer · « **Reply #57 on:** June 11, 2012, 12:12:25 am »

Here's my Fire Nation Suki so far. http://booberry-brazz.deviantart.com/#/d51pv2f

I still need to fix the shoes, make the arm sleeves, and then finish some small details(like figuring out how to put the hair up >_> )and it'll be done. Also want to tan more since it's just mainly my arms that got tanned so far from riding my bike all the time.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #58 on:** June 11, 2012, 07:28:22 am »

I'll probably start on Katara after Blue and Sakura are finished:)

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #59 on:** June 15, 2012, 12:11:48 am »

So....I may get convinced into doing Aang this year instead of Bolin...

I need to talk to my Mako and Korra about it...Between having problems with the padding and other things that I'd want more than a couple months to work on, and everyone cosplaying from Korra (even though we'd stand out a little more), and I know there's a group of my friends doing Last Airbender this year....It probably will happen that I change.

Now, to decide which outfit~

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #60 on:** June 15, 2012, 12:01:45 pm »

FIRE NATION AANG!

FIRE NATION AANG!

FIRE NATION AANG!

FIRE NATION AANG!

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #61 on:** June 15, 2012, 12:11:08 pm »

I would, but I want to actually do that bald cap. I will end up doing that outfit later though.

I'm thinking of doing his final outfit.

Soramunesanzun · « **Reply #62 on:** June 17, 2012, 09:55:27 pm »

I'm cosplaying Korra, and making my boyfriend cosplay Bolin because he looks like him, yo.

Also nikki you should change the name of the thread to be just avatar or in some other way include LoK.

ShadiStar · « **Reply #63 on:** June 19, 2012, 10:17:40 am »

Oh my gooooosh I am so happy people are still cosplaying as Avatar characters! ^o^ I can't wait to see you guys in character!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #64 on:** June 26, 2012, 10:00:31 pm »

I don't know how it happened (actually I know exactly how it happened and it broke my heart into pieces and stomped on it) but I somehow managed to convince myself that cosplaying Tarrlok would be a good idea.

So yeah.

That's a thing that'll be happening.

I'll be creeping on Soramunesanzun if anyone needs me during con.

bluewolf130 · « **Reply #65 on:** June 29, 2012, 01:10:58 am »

I'm going as Asami and my friend is also going as Korra! Just thought I'd throw that out there. :3

Sorimatsu · « **Reply #66 on:** June 29, 2012, 02:26:28 am »

Hoping to have a northern water tribe warrior outfit done by the con, all this (costume making, cosplay, cons) is new to me. My question is this, what is a good material to start with for the coat?

govi · « **Reply #67 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:03:21 am »

I'm using microsuede/moleskin, since it has a lovely leather-like texture. You can get it at JoAnn's or Mill End.

cachalot · « **Reply #68 on:** June 29, 2012, 09:37:45 am »

Hoping to have finished Azula by then! See you all there

Kori123 · « **Reply #69 on:** June 30, 2012, 01:26:29 pm »

Not doing Korra anymore. I'm going to be the Korra fangirl from episode 5 (I think it was).

All you Korra's better be scared.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #70 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:49:12 pm »

cachalot, you make me really happy since my Azula became a Korra -___-

DasBombadillo · « **Reply #71 on:** June 30, 2012, 07:52:32 pm »

Depending on circumstances and my desire to reshuffle my cosplay roster, I'm strongly considering doing either a) Joo Dee, b) Ember Island Players!Mai or c) Avatar Kyoshi (if I'm insane).

Sorimatsu · « **Reply #72 on:** July 01, 2012, 02:58:18 pm »

Good call on the microsuede Govi, jo anns didnt have the right color but ill check out mill end, and just to clarify, is the microsuede for the outer coat or for the inner outfit?

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 01, 2012, 03:52:09 pm »

Bombadillo, tip on the Ember Island character, I say only do them if you have a group, even if it's small. That way people will actually understand you as being them and not just a bad cosplayer.
A Kyoshi Warrior would be AWESOME!

So, right now I just have everything planned for Aang. I wont be able to get anything til I get money. Though, I will be searching Goodwill for cheaper fabric and pants. And maybe even shoes bases.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #74 on:** July 01, 2012, 05:45:43 pm »

Katara is going to be body painted~
and I'm working on flattening my stomach a bit too.
I'll be working on her last since I have to order in the cosplay.

What body paint are you using?

I want to find some that doesn't wear off on clothes and looks professional.

DasBombadillo · « **Reply #78 on:** July 06, 2012, 12:18:54 pm »

For the moment I'll be focusing my efforts on doing avatar Kyoshi. Kind of motivated by the idea of getting a 'family portrait' of the avatar incarnations that people are cosplaying - like Kyoshi, Aang and Korra all together

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #79 on:** July 06, 2012, 01:30:33 pm »

Ben Nye cream foundation. Use Ben Nye final seal before you put it on, put final seal on after you have the foundation on, and final seal on before you do any shading or other makeup, and then of course put the stuff over the top for a final layer. That stuff won't come off until you physically wash it off (trust me on this one, I'm a Theater Arts student and a professional clown taught me the final seal trick, they usually just tell you to use setting powder but that's not for all-day wear).

Either Krylon or Ben Nye. My friend cosplays a lot with body paint so I'll probably look at Ben Nye since thats what she uses.

But I would need to commission Kataras Apron and shirt and no one has gotten back to me so I'm on my own xDx
I'll probably have my grandma help or something.

I've been looking at Ben Nye creme foundation colors, and I just can't figure out which tone to buy for Korra's skin color.

http://www.chicagocostume.com/ben-nye-creme-foundations/

What do you guys think? (I am very fair-skinned normally.)

nikkiolie · « **Reply #90 on:** July 21, 2012, 05:11:42 pm »

I just bought some from a halloween store in Beaverton. I'm trying to find the color I got. I got it for Darc (picture in my signature) So the color I got should work for Korra too. The one I got was on the third picture in "ma-4 Rich Cocoa"

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #91 on:** July 21, 2012, 11:53:39 pm »

I have some that came in my mandatory theater makeup kit. I'm usually an L-0 (and even that turns me orangey) but I did my makeup test for Tarrlok with L-3 and it got me decently dark. It's probably not very dark to someone looking at me, but for someone whose usual makeup comes in a color called 'catfish belly white' it looks like I've been baked in the sun all my life.

I'm debating getting a darker color though, if only because I feel like the stuff I'm using just isn't dark enough.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #92 on:** July 22, 2012, 02:16:48 am »

You could always take a pic and post it here. I know I'd be willing to give advice. Especially since most of us haven't seen you before.

Roah · « **Reply #93 on:** July 26, 2012, 09:28:41 pm »

Well it's LoK, not Last Airbender, but I guess I could try and get my genderbent Lieutenant powered out in time for Kumoricon. I'm technically making it for Aki-Con 'cause my friend is doing Amon, but if I finish it in time I'll definitely bring it! He's not attending but I'm sure I could find another Amon to hang around. And you're all welcome to take pictures of yourselves beating me up, 'cause we all know Amon's Lieutenant is good for nothing but a punching bag

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #94 on:** July 26, 2012, 11:47:02 pm »

So, sadly I'm not being Aang this year. Just don't have the funds. But I'll be him for sure next year!!!

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #95 on:** July 30, 2012, 09:45:13 am »

same.
my paycheck fell though so I won't be able to do Katara.
The pay man said he was sorry, but becasue i wasn't regestered into the system yet.
he couldn't pay me.

Daws · « **Reply #96 on:** July 31, 2012, 08:45:45 pm »

Omg you have no idea how excited I am to read this! we have a huge Avatar group going this year and at the last moment our Azula got an internship out of state so she won't be able to go. We desperately need an Azula! my husband and I are being mai and zuko. My daughters are being toph and momo. My little sister in law is being ty lee. Our friends are being: appa, suki, and katara that I'm positive on and I think we may have a jet, aang, and iroh coming too. But I hate that we have ty lee, zuko, and mai and no Azula! it just isn't right! I love Azula too, but it'd be a little weird for my husband and I to cosplay as brother and sister.

govi · « **Reply #97 on:** July 31, 2012, 11:19:30 pm »

So, the lolita A:tLA won't be happening this year, but I'll still be there as Iroh, with upgraded armor and boots.

DasBombadillo · « **Reply #98 on:** August 03, 2012, 02:58:57 pm »

Was just curious if anyone had a suggestion on the type of makeup I should use for avatar Kyoshi. The white base is easy enough to find, but I'm not sure what to use for the red and black above her eyes. Besides that it's coming along OK - just need to get the fabric, and the Frankenstein'd pattern is ready to go (currently a mix of jedi/Mongol/priest patterns for various parts).

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #99 on:** August 03, 2012, 03:02:54 pm »

Cream makeup. Like Ben Nye brand.

I wont be doing anything this year, but I saw the design for Kya and I'm tempted to be her next year...Along with Aang of course ^^
