I'd love to do the Amazoness Quartet, but I am not willing to show that much skin. I'm way not in good enough shape for that.

@Chelseahavoc - OMG, a villain group would be awesooooome. Who's up for Nehelenia? We should get a Galaxia, too!

I picked up some vinyl tubing from the plumbing section of my local Bimart today... this weekend, I shall attempt to redo the glove rolls. If I can remember, I'll take progress pictures.

If there's villains plotting for 2011, I may use the dragonballs to grant usagi's wish...and be Jeditite! I just need to watch enough SM episodes of him.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #515 on:** June 06, 2010, 11:02:45 am »

That would be funny! Although the double up on the glasses and Tuxedo mask would be hard.

I'm on to making my fourth crisis compact. The second and third are being painted, but the third one is really, really pale in color. I added too much catalyst so they've dried quickly and fogged up a bit. Hopefully the fourth one will be the right color and clear.

I'm thinking of selling the others. Anyone interested?

I'll post them when they're done. If no one wants to buy, that's fine. I just don't know what I'll do with all of them. I'll write up a full description, faults and all.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #519 on:** June 06, 2010, 08:13:38 pm »

Here's in progress shots. The upper two will have resin cast center gems so they match the color of the pendants. They won't be faceted either. Largely the biggest two problems with the new casts is that they cured WAAAAAY faster than the first one so they're cloudier (as is best seen by the shot with flash). Not so much on the front, but on the back there are some bubble marks that are about a half centimeter across and oblong shaped. The air didn't have a chance to escape since they dried in an three hours as opposed to the five days the first one did.

Both are hand painted, but the cloudier of the two had to have the back painted red then gold since the resin was too pale. All in all they ended up looking pretty nice, I'd say. I'm pretty proud of them.

There's a tiny bead at the end bottom of the heart in the picture, but on the smaller two pendants I'm going to leave it off since it'll probably be knocked off from cosplay fun and take some paint with it.

For the gold, I used Lumiere paint in Antique Gold. It's available at JoAnn's for about $5 a jar.Takes a few coats to get a uniform look.

What do you guys think? I'm happy that there's people out there who are as big of Sailor Moon fans as I am

Tomecko · « **Reply #520 on:** June 06, 2010, 08:53:30 pm »

@ lychee-twist - Those look fabulous, cloudy or not! If I cosplayed Sailor Moon, I'd totally buy one. And there will always be Sailor Moonies out there! I'll always have a special place in my heart for this girliest of animes, since it's that one that jumpstarted my obsession with anime, manga, and Japan in general. 13 years and still going strong!

@ CloudStrife32 - A Tomoe, eh? Maybe I could bring my Mistress 9 next year too... if you promise that I can pretend to choke you with my hair.

@ the-wind-the-sea - I totally want to see your Kakyuu! The pictures you posted look amazing.

Speaking of Mistress 9, I finished the top! Now all that's left is the skirt, and I'll be done. Unfortunately, this will mean switching the thread in my serger from black to white and I can't even imagine it without wanting to curl up in a ball and cry.

The mission to redo Saturn's glove rolls has hit some snags - turns out 1/2" tubing is too inflexible to make a complete circle, so I picked up some 3/8" tubing which works much better. Strange how Lowe's has become my second go-to spot for cosplay shopping. Sewing the actual fabric to cover the tubes has already had two spectacular failures (always remember what side your seams are going to be on, kiddos!). I plan to work on it more tonight. Thank God I have extra fabric and tubing.

I decided to start re-watching the Sailor Moon anime (yay for free online streaming!) - I was just going to start with the S Season, for Saturn & Mistress 9's storyline, but have been drawn in by the hilarious hokey crappiness of the first season. Oh, monster-of-the-week, how I've missed thee.

@lychee

I really like the third pendant. So beautiful and sparkly!!!

I may be interested in buying one as well...

Also for the Villain thing: I would like to be either:
Sailor Iron Mouse (she's adorable!)
CereCere-even though the costume is a little wonky.
Sailor Lethe or Sailor Mnemosyne.

Also, getting out of school in one week!

So stoked.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #526 on:** June 08, 2010, 03:11:01 pm »

^ you wouls make THE CUTEST ironmouse D: omg...
....btw your father is in trouble, dear chibi-usa....

lychee-twist · « **Reply #527 on:** June 08, 2010, 08:09:05 pm »

I had my most successful casting yet! It's as clear as the first one with only a few bubbles on the back. The color is a scarlet red interior. I'm so happy!

I bought a sewing book yesterday that teaches how to do the sailor collar. I didn't know it was there until after I bought it. How lucky was that?

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #528 on:** June 09, 2010, 11:42:40 am »

^wow very lucky! i've made....5 ailor colors in the last month >.< omg

Katarini · « **Reply #529 on:** June 10, 2010, 12:40:26 pm »

@Lychee; you should scan the tutorial of the sailor collar onto your computer and then post it here for us to see

@Chelsea;
what's he in trouble for??? O:

Katarini,
I will do that. But I should show you this, too: http://www.lynleigh.com/cosplay/
Lynleigh's tutorial's are absolutely awesome.

Tomecko · « **Reply #532 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:06:14 pm »

Ugh, If I had a tan, I'd totally volunteer to be a Sailor Lead Crow... I love her design, but alas, I am a whitey. I'd feel like I was cheating on Saturn to do anything outside of her different transformations/alter-egos, though! My dream is to eventually make all of her costumes. She is the bestest!

It made me sad, I just found a photo on Facebook from my last con where the photographer enthusiastically labels me as Sailor Pluto. And another girl in the comments is all, "OMG best Sailor Pluto EVER," which is nice, but... I am clearly the WORST Sailor Pluto ever because I'M NOT PLUTO. And it won't let me tag myself or comment, so I can't correct her. T_T

If I ever finish my workout regime and become satisfied with my abs, I could maybe be one of the Amazoness Quartet for future villain groupings? I like Vesta and Ceres' designs. But this would only be awesome if we had all four!

@ lychee-twist - I'd love to see the sailor collar tutorial too! I use a kids' pattern for all mine (McCall's 3759), which works out alright since I'm petite, but I still feel they're a little small. Are you going to put up photos of the newest casting? I love to look at the sparklies.

@ chelseahavoc - TWILIGHT NUUUUUUUU. It is the devil. Buffy forever!

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #533 on:** June 10, 2010, 08:54:03 pm »

yes bad twilight! i think you should be zoicite tome!!!!! D: if our old zoi doesnt go ;____; oh how i miss her

lychee-twist · « **Reply #534 on:** June 10, 2010, 09:04:35 pm »

I absolutely love the PGSM Shintennou. I would totally cosplay as Nephrite. Or Zoicite. He is just so awesome looking.
It'd be fun, too. Anytime you left a room *Cape twirl!*

Tomecko · « **Reply #535 on:** June 10, 2010, 09:11:28 pm »

Haha, I'd never thought of being Zoisite! Man, when we dissected frogs in 8th grade, that's what we named ours. I do remember shedding a tear or two when he died in the anime, though. And my friends mocked me forever for it (hey, I was 12!).

@lychee-twist - I've actually never seen any of the Live Action Sera Myu. Just googled Zoisite's design... it's so different from the anime/manga! That cape is pretty frikkin' awesomke, though.

I'm going to sit here in my little lone Princess Kakyuu corner.

I hope to see all you lovely people at the shoot.

yes the pgsm versions are THE MOST AMAZING THING EVA D: i wish i had the skills to make pgsm beryl....

I got a new base wig for Princess Kakyuu and so I shall be restyling it before I go to Anime Expo! Pictures will happen after AX~

lychee-twist · « **Reply #539 on:** June 11, 2010, 09:27:43 pm »

Princess Kakyuu is kind of left field for me, but, god, I love her. She's so pretty. I really wanted to cosplay her, too, but Sailor Moon is just more appealing.

I guess the final deciding moment is Sailor Moon's wands. You just can go wrong with gold and pink heart shaped wands.

lychee-twist · « **Reply #540 on:** June 13, 2010, 02:16:31 am »

Double posting since I figured I should show you what I'm up to.

Everything without flash (click to see full sized!) :

The blue and red tapered jewels are to be the feathers for sailor Moon's hair. I figured since I'm painting them it doesn't matter what color they're on the inside. The blue resin comes from a jewel I made for my friend's Princess Zelda cosplay. She needed it for the crown. small moons are for earrings and the tiara, and the larges ones go on the boots. The white dots are wooden buttons I'm going to make the hair accessories out of. The large circular object is an unpainted odango cover. The second one of those are curing. They're almost big enough to make center jewels out of for the other senshi.

Brooches with flash:

The one in the bottom right corner will be the one I use if I don't make any other ones. I'm burning through this container of resin pretty fast!

I found that the cloudy broaches clear up a bit with a few coats of nail polish. At the very least it takes away from the matte finish up top to give a glossy reflection even if you can't see through it as well. I'm pretty relieved about that, actually. They look a lot better. As an added bonus, since silicone messes with resin a bit, the casts stay tacky longer. The nail polish takes care of that. It's still a good idea to wait to see if the stickiness goes down.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #541 on:** June 13, 2010, 09:41:59 pm »

wow lychee evthing looks so good! im kinda tempted to ask if youd be willing to do commisions for me with resin stuff in the future.

on a side not. my white raven cosplay fell apart on me today, now im in the process of fixing it. but if a month before con on the trial run it fals apart again then im subsituting in sailor moon for the final day. ONLY if raven is... a huge pain xD

Katarini · « **Reply #542 on:** June 14, 2010, 01:49:34 pm »

And I looked through all the photos, and I think I might change from doing a season R version of Rini to an easier top from Season S or SuperS.

Help me decide?

ahhh f-twilight! VAMPIRES BURN IN SUNLIGHT ><" they're not disco balls! :}

Tomecko · « **Reply #543 on:** June 14, 2010, 07:10:57 pm »

@lychee-twist - OMG you are so industrious! Those look fantastic. I can't believe you're casting her hairpins yourself, I would have totally just cobbled them together out of Fimo or something. Which makes me think... if I can ever get into resin casting, that would be a perfect solution to my Saturn's brooch, choker, and earrings. I've been looking high and low for long, icicle-like glass beads to do her spiky crystal brooch with, but no luck! Resin might be the answer... maybe I could even commission you. I'm just not completely happy with my Fimo-and-glitter monstrosity.

@Katarini - I like the outfit in the first link, that blue jumper is cute! Although the skirt with the little buckles in the last pic is so cute... and thanks for linking that! It has Hotaru's black school uniform, which is an outfit I'd love to do someday. Are you wearing Rini for the photoshoot at Kumoricon?

@the-wind-the-sea - Yay pictures! I always adored her design, too, especially the hair... but I always thought the hat was a little silly. Maybe just 'cuz I look bad in hats.

My glove roll experiment came out nicely for the first two rolls, though I had to do some improvising with nails and hot glue when the ends kept popping apart before the glue could dry. Ended up burning my finger pretty bad, too. I still have to figure out the best way to do the spike-roll on the end of Saturn's gloves... I intend to make a tutorial out of this if all goes well.

Edit: Ahaha... URLfix!

lychee-twist · « **Reply #544 on:** June 14, 2010, 08:25:21 pm »

Katarini- I like the anime style the best. I think it's the most iconic Chibi Usa style. It's funny to line up the pictures of her like that. She really grew through the series! Wow!

Tomecko- I'm not entirely sure how I would cast Saturn's brooch like that. That's way more advanced from the flat brooches that Sailor Moon wears. It's an easy enough process as a whole. You can definitely make some sort of crystal cast with enough patience. Please post pictures of your sleeves, too! The white roll on Super Sailor moon is pointed, too, and I haven't figured out how to do that.

Katarini · « **Reply #545 on:** June 16, 2010, 01:45:46 pm »

@Tomeko, yeah I like it too! That's why I'm having a hard time deciding on which to make for Kumoricon, and yes I'll be at the shoot. I really enjoyed season R and how she was super young, but I don't really want to deal with poofy sleeves. Also, my friend has the perfect backpack for Rini (the red one) that I can borrow.

@lychee- yeah, the anime style (manga drawn/version I showed) is from Season S or SuperS.

I'll wait for a couple more peoples input's before deciding.

chelseahavoc · « **Reply #546 on:** June 16, 2010, 03:29:25 pm »

i personaly have lways been fond of the red "summer" uniform in the 2nd picture. its so adorable... the blue jmper one always makes me thing of rei from evengalion x.x

6 Months until the epic three days are upon us! The scepters are in development but no camera to show their progress yet. This month I will hunt for a bow tie and vest. Once assembled I can post a pic of Tux Mask at last.

Goin' shoppin' today for Helios seeing as Soundy is working on the top I might as well go searching for the pants, items for the necklace, and something for the earings.

Anyone have any clue as to what shoes I should wear? XD
