There's a rather lengthy thread about this already started over on the Contests section of the board. Probably faster just to go over there and look instead of having everyone repost over here  :P

I will be going as Random Bishie #9, Kei Amemiya (Jin-Roh), Temari (Naruto), and hopefully a random kimono chick-if I get the costume done in time-.

Unfortunatly I won't be able to attend as Kusanagi unless I find a shirt similar to hers before con, which I so doubt I can do.

Oh, and my Gaara-chan plushie will be wearing a nice and pretty kimono, which I am pretty sure I can get done in time.  And my Cthulhu will we cosplaying as a Haibane. ^.^

Do to unforseeable circumstances (aka: I ended up having to punch some idiot who grabbed my arm on my evening walk) I have strained my left hand, and will not be able to complete my kimono in time.

My Temari costume is about the only sure thing, besides my Random Bishie #9, that I will be wearing for the Con. ^.^;

eek! are you ok?
odd that this assault would happen to our head of nighttime security...

Post by: celticangel on August 19, 2004, 01:21:52 pm
Kankuro from Naruto (the one I wore at Fanime). Partially Barry the Chopper from FMA. Possibly partially Scar from FMA.

(I have Barry's armor head and Scar's coat. ^_^)

Frodo: You're gunna be Temari? I must find you at the con! Finding a Gara cosplayer shouldn't be hard. I didn't have a team at Fanime, I was so sad. No one cosplays Temari!

(Oh yeah, HI! I put off going to the forums until 2 weeks before the con. Hoorah.)

Title: My Cosplay Outfit. W007.
Post by: SalmonOfDoubt on August 23, 2004, 05:36:42 am
Well, seeing how I have little time and money to make a cosplay outfit I shall be going as one of the following:

1. Shinji Ikari from Eva (his school uniform is really easy! you can make his hair plug-suit things by sanding down two halves of a Silly Putty container, then painting it white. Woo.)

2. Largo or Piro from Megatokyo (easy, but only if you have T-shirts like the ones they wear, and lots of hair goop.)

3. Toji from Eva (I actually saw a jogging suit nearly identical to his in a store. Woo. But it cost lots of money. Not woo.)

Now, which one shall I pick?
Title: Who are you cosplaying as?
Post by: Teh Becca on August 23, 2004, 07:31:27 am
Woo, need more Digimon cosplayers .___. I feel so alone.

I'm quite into it now, I even got an Agumon and a Digivice off of Ebay. *is such a dork*

The outfit isn't too difficult, I just have to find two star patches and sew them on... hell, if it comes to it I could always make some out of felt.

Does it make that much difference in cosplay if the shoes are accurate, if you're someone like, say, Shinji, or some other person who dresses regular?

Oh, and what's a good hair product to use for like, gel?

You should be able to find star applique at Joann's or Michael's.  ^^  If not, yes, making them out of felt is a good idea.

As for shoes, I don't think that they have to be absolutely perfect, but don't wear high heels with a character who should wear army boots and vice versa.  :wink:

I can't tell you about gel, though.  Well, I'll say this, I guess.  My brother uses LA Looks, the maximum strength kind, to slick his hair back.  When it's dry, it's a HELMET.  Seriously, you can pound on his head and he'll hardly notice.   :?

Anyway!  I already posted this in the other thread, but I'll be Rydia from Final Fantasy IV, and Tetra and Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker.  ^_^

Title: Who are you cosplaying as?
Post by: Daystar on August 31, 2004, 10:51:02 pm
no not really... baboon naraku is alot easier then finding that dudes kimono and everything... and i cant imagine his wig...

i think its cool that some ones going to go to the con a tai... im going as sheeta from miyazakis castle in the sky, san the wolf girl from princess mononoke, and Nausicaa end of the movie version... never thought of doing digimon... man that woulda been alot easier... i tried to find a teto plushie for my nausicaa costume... no one sells them...

btw howd you do tais goggles? i mean... they look rather difficult to me...

              i love what i've read of megatokyo. in fact, last year i briefly cosplayed seraphim :) (in fact i kind of left a hansel and gretel trail of white feathers from the fanfic workshop to the video viewing room!)

hm now if i could only find where i put the batwings....i had wanted to cosplay where asmodeus binds seraphim to a chair :)

Title: Little costume list....
Post by: antibishie on September 01, 2004, 03:06:24 pm
Well, with just a few days left before KumoriCon my cosplay list ends up pretty tiny.  On Saturday I'll be doning a Karasu costume to go with my friend who's cosplaying as Kankuro (From "Naruto".) and then on Sunday I'll be cosplaying as Raito (From the manga "Death Note".) with another friend cosplaying as L.  We're still working on seeing if we can get a Ryuuku in one form or another, though... so here's crossing our fingers towards that.  *chuckles*

I thought about fixing the broken strap on my Zeiram costume and wearing that, but I doubt that anyone would really want to see it and all....

Heh, I saw you. I sat next to you at the Bakazoku panel. Remember me? I was the one with the amputated cardboard cut-out.

The black was probly actually a very dark blue instead of true black and the white diluted it making it blue.  

Just my theory, check it out under a black light there is a difference between dark blue shirts and true black shirts.  If I remember from years ago.

I would like to have a costume by next year but it takes two things getting it made and the courage to wear it.

Can't wait to see everyone at the next con I had the best time, you all rock.

I'm not sure if I can come next year--I might be in Japan.  But I'm definitely wearing Sakura in some form again at Sakuracon (haha), though it might be adult-ANBU-Sakura or possibly...um...kind of a surprise version.  Involving swords.  ^____^

It takes awhile to adjust.  I`ve been here for a little over two weeks and I think I`m just starting to get the hang of things.  That and I think I`ve figured out how the train system works.  It depends on your level of Japanese.  Some of us in the group were shakey from the start while those who were more advanced were able to pull off some conversations with Japanese students.
But overall, it is really fun.  Definitely do it when you`re in college.

A lot of cheap black make-up (ie: costume) also uses a blue base, so diluting it with white will, obviously, make it blue-er.

YMMV, but for the future Ben Nye is affordable and excellent.
