Title: Your cosplay progress....
Post by: totemo_oishii on June 11, 2007, 07:59:28 pm
A thread to post your cosplay progress.

Whether it's ordering a new wig, finishing a jacket, finding the perfect pair of boots at the thrift store...keep us posted! :) Even little thoughts are fine.

-----

I bought lots of fabric and a few patterns for my Mackenzie cosplay yesterday...I'm excited!

Hmmm.... I ordered one of my costumes!
My friend is making my other costume once I go buy the fabric for it!
So now I either have to dye my hair or get a blonde wig!

Got pants and am about 15% of the way done with my mask for one costume.

Commissioned the bulk of one, working on ideas for how to do the headgear still.

Yet to order my third costume.

My cosplay is pretty much all but put together. I am waiting for a couple articles of clothing still, but the part that actually required work (the gun-arm) is done.

Let's see...until I learn how to sew, I'll have to end up requesting help on my cosplays.

So, I've placed an order for a Pit cosplay (Super Smash Brothers Brawl), and I am currently having someone help me sew my Green Ranger suit.

I still haven't started on the boots, gloves, or power shield yet.

Now for the things I specialize in!

Pit's Bow of Palutena will be my first project.  It will be my first project using Wonderflex.  Should be fun.  After that I need to start making Zack's SOLDIER sword from Crisis Core.

It's Finals week right now, so once that is over I will be in Yatta Cloud's garage for countless days working on the props and stuff. :)

Post by: Keenon Williams on June 12, 2007, 12:22:44 pm
My progress is as follows: bought the costume.

Yeah, I know making the costume is a much better idea because it's more personal, but... well, mom can't do any big projects lately because of dad's arm being all messed up and unusable, so she has to help him... sewing projects are kinda outta the question.

Still need to get a hold of a Ryoga-type umbrella.

Post by: Kotoumi on June 12, 2007, 01:16:28 pm
I'm in the planning stage!  xD;

Just this week of school left, and I'll be able to make better progress.

Nono (W) - Planning stage, might not happen.  ;-;
Female Ouran Uniform - 90%?  I need to alter it a little.  It's too big.
Yukina (Yu Yu Hakusho) - Planning stage.  I'm totally throwing out all my previous stuff from the Halloween version to remake it in cotton.

BACKUP
Male Ouran Uniform - 80% done, but only 'cause it'll all be storebought.  xD

Well my Soulreaper uniform is complete however the black over kimono is too small so I will have to completely redo and make it about two sizes larger.

However the rest fits perfectly.

Post by: Runa on June 12, 2007, 05:41:12 pm
:)   100% : Haruhi Suzumia school uniform - completed and ready to wear. I have to break in the shoes as they feel a little tight when wearing the socks that go with the costume     (note to others: ALWAYS wear the socks you're going to be wearing with the shoes when you're purchasing them. I should KNOW that, but noooooooooooo, I wore nylon stockings that day, and the cotton socks are somewhat thicker. Ghaaaaaa)

:)  30% : Cornelia from Code Geass - Got the jacket pattern drafted, fitted and cut out. Ready to sew that tonight. Have fabric & supplies for pants, boot covers and cloak.

Yippeeeeeeeeeee......

PS: and we will NOT discuss the piles of fabric designated for other costumes that are sitting in my sewing room....

Post by: TomtheFanboy on June 13, 2007, 02:54:22 pm
I've got a lot of the parts for my cosplays but I still need to assemble them. I haven't tried to put together my Pocky Armor yet because I need a couple more Giant Pocky Boxes to be comfortable cutting them up (I don't want to risk using them up and ruining them).

I still need a good jacket and sunglasses for Gendo and then I'm done. He's the closest one right now.

I've finished sewing my hat! ^^;;
It's something, right? A lot of trial and error was involved. I also look silly in it, but whatever.

I went to Goodwill to hunt for some white boots, but didn't have any luck.
I did buy a sailor-looking outfit for $5 though, lol.

Post by: makichan on June 26, 2007, 08:12:40 pm
I have my goggles... I just need to do everything else. I used to have the shirt but since (Death note) matt's shirt is red and black rather than what everyone else thought (black and white) I need to get going. As for my haruhi suzumiya cosplay... we'll see if I have enough money after everything lol.
Title: Your cosplay progress....
Post by: Basket on June 26, 2007, 09:55:44 pm
I need to doooo....everything. Basically.  For my night elf priestess costume I need to buy thigh-high stockings, knee high boots, long-ass black gloves, short-shorts (o-o i'm terrified.), and a red pimp hat.  Thats the stuff that just needs to be altered. After that I need to make by my own crazy shoulder things, belt, and cape. Then to make me night-elfy I still have to purchased purpley make up and ears and such.

I've located everything I need to buy, but I still need to buy it and fix it to however it pleases me. Needless to say, I've got a metric buttload of work to do. @_@

Rika - I need to go get a new belt for this one as my old one broke apart for no apparent reason during work.

Random pirate - completely done. :D

Kabuto - I've got the headband?

Female Blacksmith - Probably going to end up doing something else instead.  I don't know.

Costume: Process of deciding- evil shiny material >.<
Wig: Need to find a good one still
Forehead: Need to find the perfect color marker to draw it with. (Since technically it's more like a tattoo, not a gem.)
Hooker red fingernail polish: Check
Pink lipstick: Check

Go me!! First cosplay FTW!  :P

Lets see.. >>;

Shadow - Just need to touch up the shoes-from-hell, and then I'm good!

Matt - Need to get gloves, goggles, possibly a wig, and need to frantically find a commissioner for the vest. Woo. But I do have the belt, shirt, and shoes.
Title: Your cosplay progress....
Post by: manekineko on July 03, 2007, 07:17:06 am
I have order 3 wigs and I feel accomplished.

I also ordered one of my costumes, because I don't have the time nor the effort to make it right now.

But it IS progress.

I've cut out all my pattern pieces to make my dress. Now I need to cut out fabric...a sew...•___• Gah, darts and zippers! Scary!

I'm still wondering if I should buy a wig. Hmmmm.
Title: Your cosplay progress....
Post by: Kotoumi on July 03, 2007, 10:59:31 am
I found my Yukina fabric~!  xD
I just haven't figured out how much to buy yet, but I have it figured out.
...And I found a good Yukina wig on Cosworx.
Kerunyo offered to have her dad paypal it for me and I pay him back.
Oh, and I found perfect Yukina shoes/socks on my Japanese class field trip to Uwajimaya.  Yay!

That's all so far.

I'm doing a good job of doing nothing on my costumes. XD

Tseng - 100%; finished it for Sakura COn this year so it's ready to go. Though I think the wig needs a good combing before Kumori.

Gackt - 0%; Yeah, right! I've been poking around for materials but I still haven't purchased anything!

Sephiroth - 30ish%; I've got pieces of this costume all over my room at the moment and a half-disassembled trenchcoat calling my name. Notably, I have to wait for a friend to finish the leather SOLDIER belt, and I still have to make beta shoulder pauldrons to expiriment with before building the real things. OH YEAH, styling the new wig's gonna be fun. :D

My single cosplay is done. XD And it's probably going to be the most noticeable when I'm walking around. Who can't spot a wolf tail in a crowd when it's on a guy over six foot?  ;D
Kaji - My Hige/Blue spawn/love child
Tail - Check (got it back in April)
Clothes - Wearing clothes that I already wear since that's what the characters in Wolf's Rain wear.
--------- Wearing a black vest, black shorts, with a white under shirt. I'll blend into the shadows. >.>

I'm working on sewing a prototype of my costume, so my final product won't have too many kinks.

So far I have all the fabric cut out, with some darts sewn in, but nothing is really together yet.

Title: Re: Your cosplay progress....
Post by: the_wind_the_sea on July 14, 2007, 01:22:11 am
Pirate: Done

Human Luna: 90% Done - Need to restyle the four Odangos of the wig, redo the anklet and neckalce, and then do the moon charms for the entire thing.

Jin Uzuki: 0% Done - Need to buy the fabric and pattern, then actually make the costume, style the wig, and then obtain the various other parts I need for the costume.

I'd suggest checking out vintage/used clothing stores for heels. Places like Red Light, the Metro, and a whole lot of other stores on Hawthorne, you have a good chance of finding something there.

id say that my etna cosplay is....77% complete?

I already have the shirt and the skirt done. I also have the arm things, and the red braclets to go with it.
the tail is also completed. (its so cute! im so proud of it. <3) that only leaves the wings, the shoes, and the stockings. oh yeah, and i must dye my hair.*sigh* the stockings will be easy enough, and so will the boots...

what really has me apprehensive is the wings. all they are is cardboard with fabric and paint. they look cool, but they arent very sturdy. T__T not only that, but theres already a bend on one side (that was my fault..) so the wing is weak, and i may have to re-do them completely. furthermore, no idea how to attack the wings to my body. WAH! T-T anybody have any advice for this?!

Haninozuka Chika-kun from Ouran High School Host Club - I've bought the dorky shoes and glasses, the slacks, I have a white shirt hanging in my closet which will work to wear under the jacket, and I ordered the badge off of Ebay. Now I just need to make the jacket. I have the pattern, fabric, and trim for the jacket so I just need to do the actual work of putting everything together. :3 Oh, and I need to get a haircut. XD

Kino from Kino no Tabi- Thus far, I have the shirt to wear under the jacket and pretty much nothing else. Though I did buy a pattern for the jacket so I will finish this one eventually. It just may not be in time for the convention this year. XD

...I am insanely jeolous that my Riku and Hayner are already done...

Excuse me? I am not done with Hayner. I still need to:
-style my wig
-draw on my shirt
-make my necklace

And for TK/Takeru:
-make my shirt
-make my tag
-maybe make a digivice...

For Kaku:
-make my nose
-get my swords
-maybe make girraff ears, horns, and tail XD

And finally, for Haku:
-re-paint my mask

It would help if I weren't out of town all the time...

I'm working on my Death Notes right now :D

So you got the materials for it? Good, good! I can't wait to see the finished product (your costume, not just the note, heh)

And Totemo, how is the hunt for white boots coming, by the way?

LoL yup supplies were surprisingly cheap, although the finished product looked ok...I was planning to make Misa's DN as well as Light's, but since Misa's turned out kinda ok, I might re-make another one...although I must say, it looks so awesome for my first try!!! And that's saying a lot cos I'm pretty klutzy when it comes to spraypaint XD

I'm about 2/3rd done painting my 3 eggs plaid for my Amu costume. Also, don't paint anything plaid, especially not curved surfaces, unless you really enjoy and excel at painting straight lines. Eeeeesh.
After painting them, I need to get the keychain holders so I can attach them to the belt, and make the skirt, leg warmers, and hair barrettes. And arm band. And attach cuffs to jacket. And buckles. And probably 10 other things I'm forgetting. YAY!

Completed/Found:
pink wig (no styling needed!!!)
black Jacket
white button-up shirt
loafers
red tie
2 punk belts (one big, one thin)
material for skirt/leg warmers

Ran into problems with my Pit blades.  I'll have to remake them, but for now they will have to do.  I have to finish painting them.

Green Ranger's suit is almost done.  The Power Shield is and the Dragon Dagger are 50% finished.  I'll probably leave the Dragon Dagger half-finished (one side is done) because I need to concentrate on getting my other important props and cosplays finished on time.  I still am waiting for the leather boots to arrive.  Then I need to paint them and pretty them up to look like Green Ranger's boots.  Still have to do the gauntlets too.

Fixing Cerberus.  The paint started to come off, and the paper clay chipped a bit.  The crystals keep falling off.  But, they are being re-glued! XD

That's my update for now.  More to come two days before the con.  Now THAT post should have a nice mix of chaos and worry. lolz

There is still time to make a jacket for the Jr. High uniform if you can sew. I found some good patterns for it and you can find the trim at Wal*Mart. http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?cat=6&type=0&sec=71&startrow=1 I'd recommend pattern 6728 or 6435. (By the way, for anyone who is interested, New Look 6599 would make really good lolita tops.)

I'm doing first season Lupin III and a version of Lupin III found in the newer movies, all of which are 50%. All I need to do is finish making his red jacket; progress which is about about 25% (fusable interfacing and lining is cut out, but I have yet to cut into the major fabric for the coat, a red corduroy).

Haruhi (Ouran) - I'd say 90% done! I just need to work on the tie (easy!), and then it's just waiting for my blazer in the mail. ^__^
Mackenzie (Touch Detective) - 85% done? I still need to sew in the zipper and finish the apron and I'm finished. *__* I'm just not sure what to do about her hair. Perhaps buy a wig somewhere...

finally received shipping confirmation for my two wigs!  ;D
Whoo, I feel like I'm on a roll now!  I was getting nervous there!

to do: 
- dye Mion's skirt again to make it darker (already bought the dye)
- attach pink stripes to shirt
- figure out what to do with that stupid little vest she wears!! (can you tell this is kind of frustrating me?)
- FIND GREEN TIE.
- buy boots?  Hers are brown, but I have black ones in a similar style already if I run out of money/ don't want to buy boots that I might only wear once ^^;

Shion's costume is nearly complete though!  I have the shoes, socks, skirt, top, ribbon, and tie!
All I need to do is alter the color of the tie and try to find out what that little crest on her shirt looks like!

Woooooo!  I'm feeling good, and I can't wait for my wigs to arrive! :D

ANBU (from Naruto): 95% Done I need a fake katana, medical tape. Maybe a fake Kunai holder... >.> The only thing I can't make is the coat. But maybe next year... and I'm slightly embaressed by my homemade paper mache mask T_T It didn't turn out like I originally planed...maybe I'll make a replacment at that mask workshop. >.>

I was hacked by the Laughing Man: I don't know if I'm going to do this one still, but I have been practicing the Laughing man logo..and it doesn't seem to expensive. I can use a paper plate to make the mask for the hacked logo...and a white t-shirt that I can write with a paint marker that I was hacked by laughing man...  ^-^ It would be pretty funny.

On a lighter note I got my plastic ninja sword for my ANBU costume yay for dollartree! I took off the dorky sticker, and will probably wrap the hilt in medical tape!
Okay now I'm looking for a bit of advice, I have a few scarfs that might work with my ANBU cosplay, a navyblue scarf, a sheer black scarf, and I also have...a pink scarf >.> the question is should I wear one of them?

I'm altering the bodice pattern for my dress for Akane. I'll be pinning both it and the blouse tonight, cutting them out, and pinning the pieces together. After that it's just a few hours worth of sewing to finish. I'm dyeing the wig today as well, so it has time to dry out, be rinsed, and then cut and styled. Not much styling to do, really, just trimming the bangs a little, maybe an hour's work at most.

I need to haul my Lum things out of storage and make sure there's no repairs needed. The wig at least needs to be combed through before I wear it again. And I'm going to alter the boot tops slightly.

So...Akane 40%. Lum 90%. Ranma-chan 98% (just need to wash and iron the top).

I just decided: I'm going to do Lum's school uniform. The winter version. I already have the skirt and the fabric and pattern for the top, I just have to put it together. Fuku are pretty simple so I should be able to handle it. I think I even have sneakers that work for her...let's say that one's at 65% done. (I'm coming with a school-uniform Ataru, too!)

So I'm going to have 4 cosplays. And I'm only going to be there Saturday afternoon and Sunday. But it'll be so cool if I can pull it off! Old school cosplay is awesome.

Bridget- Habit needs to be hemmed on the bottom
            Shoe's need to be made
Rena-    Square needs to be sewn on shirt that has the hirigana on it
            Flip flops need to be bought D: ::{if anyone knows were to get brown or black flip flops right now please tell me >.<}::

My friend though just called and was like "Yeah I started my Baiken costume like just now, and I need a claw and a sword" Luckily I have a sword that can just be spray painted but I'll probably work on the claw all night D: Wish me luck!

Title: Wig parting sucks...
Post by: Janice on August 28, 2007, 07:43:29 pm
I got my green wig for my Rapid 99 cosplay yesterday.  However, I'm in the process of parting it for pigtails and adding in extensions so it doesn't look like crap.  It sucks, it takes forever, and I'm sick of it.

Basically, this tutorial: http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtutorial_parting.html (http://www.pettingzoowigs.com/wigtutorial_parting.html)

Yeah, it takes forever and is hellishly boring and painful if you burn yourself.

However, I am completely finished with my Sailor Uranus, Jedi, RO Alchemist, Hermione Granger, Nymphadora Tonks, and Gothic Lolita costumes, so I'm close to being finished with stuff :D

Oh man, so much to do and so many costume changes!  *SIGH*

I'm excited to see everyone's pretty costumes!!!!

Okaaay, so last minute I decided to make another cosplay, and refine another from last year. Soooo...

Itsuki Koizumi: Jacket almost finished, need to add buttons, pockets, and "M" on breast pocket. I have everything else.

Ritsuka Aoyagi: Cut wig and sew ears into it, and make the tail. (have the clothes already, whoot!)

Irvine Kinneas (casual version): My vest isn't exactly con-ready, and neither are the chaps. So I'm doing a more casual Irvine Kinneas. I've fixed up the jacket and untangled the wig. Now I just need to find a nice purple shirt to wear instead of the vest. (I figured sticking to his shirt color was a good idea).

dakrum, I can't wait to see you wearing the mask! It's definatly my favorite cosplay of Ichigo, so it'll be fun to see. =D Hm, I wonder, since it only covers half of your face, do the mask rules apply? =/

Okay... less then a week until kumoricon and i still have alot to do. ^_^'
I'm cosplaying Shizuru Fujino from Mai HiME, and so far i've had a pretty bad week. Preporation wish, its been alright, i'm just afraid i'll end up injuring myself right before the con. I got my hair done... again, and as i was walking up a flight of stairs, i tripped and broke my toenails, and caused my toes to bleed.-_-'
then today, i got my legs waxed, got sick as a dog and had to skip out on con shopping. i'm afraid of what will happen next. T_T
As for the costume and accessories, i have the socks, the long sleeved blouse, the skirt needs to be sown together, the blazer still needs to be constructed, and my feet are blistered from braking in the loafers. oh yeah, and the red tie still needs to be made.
I'm still constructing her Naginata. I just got finished spray painting it, and theres still alot to do.
Okay, well. wish me luck i guess. ^_^

I decided a day ago to cosplay Luneth from FF III (the DS version), and I'm fairly surprised to have all the pieces I need already. I just need to modify a few things, namely the vest, which is actually a jacket I am turning into the vest...but at least it will be passable (I hope ^__^;;). I'm also hoping to find a pair of brown gloves tomorrow rather than the black pair I got today. (Anyone have any ideas as to where to find any? I live in Tigard, which is right next to Portland. I'm going to Goodwill tomorrow I hope, in order to see if they have a pair.)

I bleached my hair with the help of a friend today, and I need to get sliver hair spray and play with my hair for a while to try and experiment and figure out what works best.

Honestly this is one of the easiest costumes I've ever put together...considering that I happened to have about half the costume already.
