This is sad.. But I've already started on next years cosplays. How about you?
-
Does planning count? Cause planning has already started for me, but no actual work has begun yet.
-
i plan on loseing a few inches in my stomic before starting work on my aqua
-
I've started planning cosplays with my best friend at least!
-
@ Blizzara: Planning does indeed count!
I have been planning for a while for my cosplays and hope to meet up with my friend so we can start sewing soon, because my costume looks like it's gonna take A LOT of my time this year.
-
To anyone who has already started a new cosplay for next year: DANG.

Yes,Yes it is.The feathers might be your biggest problem out of the whole costume
-
@Otaku: Indeed. Sarah and I are going be hunting down feathers that come in bigger packages then the tiny ones at Jo-Anns. -__-
-
My Kaoru cosplay's done, I just need to order the wig, WOOWOOOOO

Since I forgot to mention this earlier I guess I'll type it up now. I'm still in the planning stages but I am planning on doing normal N.Italy,N.Italy in his underwear outfit,and Chibitalia. All three are from the anime/manga,Axis Powers Hetalia.
-
Seems I forgot to mention mine as well... ^^'
I'll be doing Wedding Dress Yuna from Final Fantasy X.
-
My brother and I are planning to do Noctis and Stella from Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Plus I am planning to look for another black dress for Aya Brea since I heard my friend, Mitsukai, is doing Eve. I might cosplay Aya from The Third Birthday as well.
-
I have to decide what I'm going to do for next year still. Other wise I would be started already for sure.
-
Ah man, I always keep saying to my self that I'm going to start super early and get it done way before next con...Then a year goes by and I begin and get it finished in the week or two right before the con. ;D Procrastination is a terrible thing.
-
Does it count if we're probably using the same cosplay as this year? ;D
-
@Govi: Sure! ^^
-
Oh yeah, will be doing Claude Faustus again, but this time...My friend, Rikkugrape (Alois Trancy), will be helping to make the Laevateinn sword. :D And definitely this time make Claude's OVA pink polka-dotted PJs.
-
I try to make a point of not planning my costumes for Kumori until Sakura's passed.. Since a lot can change in a year.
I am batting around ideas of doing a Ciel. And someone else from the Tales of series, not just Richea.
I'm also looking into how to fix Richea's skirt so it puffs out properly, getting her crown done and getting some good tights for under the petticoat. After that, I'm looking at working on my kid Link costume and seeing if I can finally get enough bravery mustered up to sew the box pleated skirt for Yuna @.@ Dang math + expensive lace.
Aaaaand if that's not enough, I'm going to be looking into doing Aram. I have most to all of the satin needed for his costume I think. But nothing for the trim yet. No space to work either, and I still have to cut out and measure the patterns properly. How I wish I had a dress form x.x; And you know, room for it.
-
I dunno about you guys but me and my friends started planning costumes for 2012 before Kumoricon 2011.
-
Well tonight, hopefully I'll be starting on my Mikuru Asahina outfit. Either I'm going to make it, or cheat out and buy it. (It will be her waitress outfit)
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spaciousplanet.com%2Fimages%2Fworld%2Fthumbnails%2Fmikuru-asahina44312493180787330.jpeg&hash=0f073d35ebed79d4e72cf5e7c743dcbfe7979501)

Well my next Cosplay is being debuted at Sakura Con 2012 but it will come to KumoriCon too.
I started my upcoming Cosplay in May, so I started a while ago xD my next Cosplay is Liger Zero Schneider! =D
So far I have done:
-Mask Skeleton
-New Hand Claw gloves
-Hand Armor
-Wrist Armor (needs Velcro and caps)
-Shoulder armor (needs Velcro and caps)
-New Liger Boots (feet)
-Foot Armor
What I still have left:
-Shoulder Boosters (have been started)
-Side Armor
-Back/Side Blades
-Hip Armor
-Knee Armor
-A shitton of work on the mask (armor, blades, teeth, etc)
-Motors for moving blades
-Make Caps
I still have quite a bit of work lol. Maybe later I can show photos of what is done if anyone is interested~
-
YAY Another Zoids! I look forward to seeing it! :D
I just realized I have to severely alter the patterns for Aram so I might end up barely using them... *sighs*
-
I think my plan was Tifa from the original FFVII, Penelo from FFXII, and then something else, but I'm not sure I remember what.
Either way, I'm with vereca. I don't think I'll be working on anything for Kumo until after Sak is taken care of.
-
I've already planned mine for next year xD I'm graduating from high school in the spring, so my graduation money is going towards my costumes :3
-
LOL Chromo sister....you know what Im gonna do next year. ;D
I will probably pull out Vash and Wolfwood again but I have a secret cosplay that is going to take a lot of material searching. ::) I will slowly reveal who I will be over the year as I put it all together...lets just say the army surplus store will get to know me better.
-

Be careful with the underwear outfit...don't want to upset your mom.
-
The planning has begun, assuming I come next year.
I'm for sure doing some Hetalia again, though all new cosplays. I plan on doing chibi Norway for sure, and maybe the official fem design too. but who knows what else.
-
Well, I don't even know if I'll be attending K-con at all next year but I at least have Sakuracon and possibly a few other cons.
But I need to finish a bunch of stuff for Cure Passion. Thankfully I think Tao's has a few simple fixes. Same goes with Medusa.
Then I also need to decide on a quick comfy cosplay. >_>
-
I've settled on two definites: Izumi Curtis from Fullmetal Alchemist, and Korra from the next Avatar series....now to figure out my third and final costume.
-
Here's a hint of what I am working on.

-
The three cosplays that I really want to do is Allen's Clown Crown, Lavi, and Timmothy (all from D Gray Man).
I've started planning on the Clown Crown (This (http://i54.tinypic.com/25a7xhc.jpg)and this. (http://i53.tinypic.com/96dule.jpg)) which is going to take the longest, and I have no clue how I'm going to sew all of that, seeing as how I don't really know how to sew. Hopefully I can cut corners in a few places... I'm looking forward to it though!
I already have everything for Lavi since I was him this year, and Timmothy is pretty easy too, just need to get the wig and a fake jewel or something.
-
...spent a little time planning what NOT to cosplay... :D
-
First part to what ever I decide to cosplay is to loose some damn weight.
-
I've started sketching out the outfits today.Thank god for long bus rides and nothing to do. And yes,I did start planning for 2012 before Kumoricon 2011 :D
@Drauska: No worries this year.His underwear outfit is a pair of boxers and a tanktop.Way more clothing compaired to last year's outfit.
-
So my next costume is Haruko from FLCL. I am actually kinda close to being done XD I have the pants, boots, scarf, wig, and hopefully the contacts (I can't find them right now and I hope they are at my parent's house). Once I get paid I am going to buy the material for the dress and look for gloves that might work (I really don't want to make them, I hate making gloves). I also need to borrow Chip's goggles.

It's not definate that i'm going to K-con '12 but it's getting better by the day :3
-
Ive got a 4 hour car ride ahead of me today so ima start sketching some ideas out. My boyfriend and i decided on another couples cosplay for kcon12, but with pokemon this time. Then ive got this desire to try steampunk so my friend is gonna help me there. But so far, im only sketching ideas. Ill upload some pics when i can. My day3 cosplay is gonna be a surprise lol
-
I haven't even picked my stuff yet.
The first thing that I'd like to do is compile a list of EVERY character that I'd like to cosplay as during my lifetime (and no, I don't believe that 2012 will be the end). Then, I'll look at the top three for now (which I'm pretty sure Lina Inverse will be on the list). At that point, I'll be doing what I can to pay for one, and if I can get any others, bonus!
-
Thats pretty much what i did, but i think 2012 is the end so my list is small lol
-
Ive slowly started my 2012' cosplay plans xD ;; Sasuke ( sengoku Basara ) didn't pull through so I'm pushing him for Sakuracon & Kumoricon. All I have is the wig styled , head piece , and shoes / & tabi socks.
-
I've started looking for references of William and Aleister Chamber (Druit) for a Black Butler cosplay for next year, which will both be terrible because of lapels and binding. XD
-
I have no idea what my next cosplay is going to be. XD I'm torn between doing a super easy and recognizable cosplay and another complicated, maybe not as recognizable one. XD I've made a Facebook album of possible cosplays, but I have no idea what I'll choose.
-
I found perfect gloves today for Haruko. I got them at value village in the Halloween section. They are super hero gloves XD
-
Bunny, you should join our DOGS group.
SPEAKING OF WHICH! I got a coat and shirt for Badou today and my tie is in the mail. I need to paint my gun and get my wig in and make an eyepatch, and then bloody up the shirt and I'm done.
Oh right I need to find a belt, too. To eBay!
-
I already know what I want to do~!
I've taken screencaps.
That's about it. ^^;
-
Richie: when are you planning it for and who do you have already? I haven't read or watched it yet (another for my list >_<). Also, if the person you need has a prop, I am a) hopeless at props and b) have no space to make props. lol. But I really think we should do some kind of cosplay collaboration in the future~
-
We have some of the main cast, but not all of it. It's definitely worth a read though! The OVAs are pretty good too.
-
Ah, me and Shay were going to do a Luki and Noki cosplay at one point, but she forgot and is doing it with someone else. =,D
-
I still havent decided which pokemon i wanna do yet but ima have to go to halloween town and value village.

If you ever get out to Beaverton there is a really good year round halloween store off of hwy 217 across from the Fred Meyer on the side that has the Panda Express. They are awesome.
Also does anyone know of a good tutorial for wiring computer fans for DC current and incorporating them into your cosplay. mine will have an enclosed helmet and I will need some air circulation.
I just looked at some tutorials on youtube and it looks like they can run on DC by just wiring them to the 9V battery and they don't need a converter at all. Looks like it has to be a 2 pin fan. It can't be that simple.
-
Looks like I'm going to get crack a lackin on Yuna's dress here soon. I asked my mom for tips and shes getting a new sewing machine soon (thank god!).
Does anybody know a place where I can buy white, long (kinda like goose/duck) feathers in a bigger package? They have them at Jo-anns, but the package of them is a serious rip-off. Like theres 3-4 feathers in one package for 5 dollars. I need triple rows of feathers on this dress. It's going to be expensive if I just buy the Jo-ann's feathering. People have suggested getting a feather boa but those feathers are to..small and messy, in my opinion. And this dress I want PERFECT in every detail even if it kills me since I'm entering it in the cosplay competition.

I highly recommend checking out Moscow Hide and Fur: http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/3050.html (http://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/3050.html) Their stock changes depending on availability, but they're amazing people.
-
@drauska ive seen it before but never gone in. never knew it was year round. Ill have to go there next time im going to my dads. @chromo you could try a Handcocks Fabrics. Or collect real feathers lol i know, jo anns is really pricey and you dont get that much product.
-
@Govi and Tala: Thank you for the suggestions!
-
I'd also check out Etsy for such things. I know that there are rather a few vendors who sell shed wing feathers and/or whole wings that you could take apart for the pointer/flight feathers. :)
-
Don't forget eBay, too. I used to see naturally shed swan feathers for like $10 for 30 of them.

It can be! PC fans run on DC any way so you just need to make sure you have enough voltage. Most fans are 12v so a 9v battery will run them just not at full speed, which given noise may be better any way. You should be able to run any pc fan even if it has 3 wires, the third (usually yellow I think) wire is just for speed control so you can just ignore it. I recommend adding a switch to the fans so that you can turn it on and off without having to unplug the battery but that's not necessary. If you have any more questions about it go ahead and ask I'll see what I can answer. I only really dabble in electronics so my knowledge is a bit limited.
-
Yeah, most if not all fans are simple motors, and that just requires a DC current. As long as you don't try to wire a bunch of other things in series a simple circuit from the battery to the fan to a switch and back to the battery will be more than enough. You won't have to use anything more than a positive and negative wire for each piece of the circuit.
PS: I say positive and negative wires but there really is no such thing, especially in such a simple circuit. You just need a wire to go in one end and another one to go out the other on each piece.
-
I have a pretty good idea of who I wanna cosplay and its the medic. I saw a lot of awesome cosplays of that character from tf2 and I just got inspired to make my own! ;D
-
I am going to try to use a fan for my bass. It would be great if it actually worked if I pulled the cord but I am not sure how I am going to go about doing that. I was also thinking about making the base out of wood but I think I could probably use a guitar hero controller and alter it to work.

@Chromo: Everyone has great advice. However, I think Richie hit the jackpot. Ebay has goose and ostrich feathers that are ridiculously cheap and are 6 to 8 inches long. I think that the really long feathers that go on the back might be better to craft those from craft foam and wonderflex. I can look into that for you.

No problem, always glad to help ^_^

I totally didnt even think about this chromo, but you could google the type of feathers you need, and probably order them by the pound. I got some fur that way once, for my animal ears. Only cost me 3 bucks for a 2 lb bag. And shipping was free.

@Nohika: Welcome! ^_^
-
*shameful on doubleposting* I found the feathers I think I'll be using. I searched the wonderous ebay website and found a jewelry seller that sells feathers by quantities of 600.
I think 600 feathers should cover it well, if not then I can always buy more. It's not very expensive and it's the RIGHT length and everything. ^_^
-
Whee, I'm brand-new.
I'm slowly starting to decide whether or not to cosplay next year and /who/ - I have a lot of weight I'd like to lose before being even close to comfortable. Leaning towards some pokemon gijinka. :)
I missed the con this year (and most of the year before...and maybe the year before that...) but I have gone to two years out of the past five (I go to school full-time and sometimes just can't justify the money to go), but I have a new job and am hoping to save up to afford the cosplay materials as well as the admission. ;) Gonna be perusing a lot of thrift stores.
Welcome! I always tell every one who is thinking about cosplaying (and most people who aren't) "DO IT!" Seriously my first 2 cons I didn't dress up for mostly because the thought of making a costume was daunting. Then about 3 or 4 years ago I did my first costume, Wolfwood from Trigun. I will never go to a convention again without a costume. it makes the whole experience better. So don't think about it, do it. I promise you won't regret it.
-
I agree with the pokemon gijinka idea! Youll have so much fun

@Nohika: When I first started cosplay (and this is when I didn't know what the heck "Kumoricon" was till I got there.) I had just one cosplay. But over the years it seems I've developed each year with one more cosplay. This year I finally got three cosplays done total. But it truly matters on the time you have. If you only have time for one costume, then thats cool. More then one, thats fantastic. This next year I'm making three costumes, and one of them is HIGHLY abstract. ^_^ Like I said, time affects your cosplays.
-
@ Nokika, Welcome aboard the crazy train...nice to meetcha!!!!
This year was my third year at the con and the first time I got into cosplay, and it made all the difference. This was the best year that I've had. You'll have a great time next year, everyone is really nice. I must have been the worse Wolfwood in all history (I looked like humpty dumpty in pulp fiction) but no one ever gave me a hard time about it. Of course I think all their attention went to the crazy huge cross I was carrying.
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1083.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fj399%2FDrauska%2Fmeaswolfwood.jpg&hash=3413bdac81ba660ed601e07aa9654cabdeea9844)
Can't wait to see everyone's progress over the year.
@Chromo can't wait to see you put those feathers on your dress. Just make sure your pup don't piddle on the train. If you ever want to go to some really cool fabric stores in Ptown your welcome to stay over the weekend.
@Zensuke will your wolfwood make an appearance next year?

I gotta figure out how to make magnet headphones.... I looked up alot of ways on youtube, and I wanna use my own headphones, but I am not sure... And I am not doing vocaloid magnet but hetalia vocaloid cross over. -points to me siggy-

[Edit]
@Nohika: Welcome :) Don't worry,I was new to this a couple years ago and cosplaying really does make the con better,no matter how it turns out. My first ever cosplay was a fail but I still had fun :D
And like Chromo,I too started out with one cosplay.In fact all i've ever done is one :D

I figured I'd share photos of my Schneider cosplay~ Which is my 2012 cosplay. =] He is being debuted at Sakura Con 2012 and will come to KumoriCon 2012, not sure what other cons yet it needs to be decided. Just for those who'd like to see~ Just links to my PB since the photos are huge lol
So this is what im going to look like, this is Liger Zero Schneider
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb430/LigerZeroLindsey/Liger%20Zero%20Schneider%20Cosplay/Schneiderside.jpg
The first thing I got fully done, was my new hand claws and Schneider Hand armor, these claws look WAY better than my last ones
This is a shot with my Schneider model standing on my cosplay parts, as a comparison shot
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb430/LigerZeroLindsey/Liger%20Zero%20Schneider%20Cosplay/3f4e26fa.jpg
This is me wearing them =]
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb430/LigerZeroLindsey/Liger%20Zero%20Schneider%20Cosplay/b3df27a5.jpg
I also have a new tail "base" done, I do not have the orange bit for the end made yet
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb430/LigerZeroLindsey/Liger%20Zero%20Schneider%20Cosplay/DAWIP2.jpg
Schneider Wrist armor, it needs Velcro and Caps, but they are done otherwise
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb430/LigerZeroLindsey/Liger%20Zero%20Schneider%20Cosplay/DAWIP4.jpg
New Liger Boots and Schneider foot armor. Instead of silly string lids for my caps, this time i am hand sculpting, painting, and detailing them. They look WAYYYY cooler xD

And that's all for now, right now (like im doing it right now xD) I am working on my Shoulder boosters, they will be painted and finished up tomorrow =O And sadly im not saying what material I am using this time around, I want to keep my cosplay unique so im keeping it a secret, it is a totally different material than Jager was.
If anyone would like I'll post more WIP photos in the future~

I plan cosplay as such: Pick character, find as many references from as many angles as possible, create my own sketch and start making a list of materials/plan how to do things like patterns, get the stuff, maybe make a mock up, make the costume.
Edit: Also, I've decided that one of the next "cosplays" I want to do would be a Kuragehime Jellyfish dress. Here's a sketch:

I might even just make it into a Kuranosuke cosplay from the fashion show in the manga, even though the dress I designed isn't exactly like any of the dresses in the series so far.

It will be fabulous! It looks like a really pretty idea. I cant wait to see it.
-
That looks adorable! I'd be excited to see that. :)
Made progress today. :) I think I finally decided on what two cosplays I'd like to have done for Kumoricon. Mismagius the pokemon Gijinka and Tomoe Mami from Madoka Magika. The second one is going to be a really hard beginning cosplay...still a little uncertain on that one, but she's one of my favorite characters...
Now time to squeeze planning in between piles of homework.

.....You've given me the urge to finish my friends Jellyfish dress for him. HE WILL BE SO PRETTY. AND SO WILL YOU. YOU WILL BOTH BE PRETTY TOGETHER. And fluffy like Jellyfishes.

@ bunny_jean- That looks awesome!! I'd love to see a Kuragehime cosplay at the next con :D
-
Awww Thanks guys! <3 I'm going to see if I can get it done by Sakuracon (if I go). :3
-
I'm planning Fujiwara no Sai from Hikaru no Go. And have no idea where to start with it.

I think I'm pretty much settled with my 2012 cosplay plans. I'm definitely doing Marie from Soul Eater, and then Nice from Baccano! because I can use the same wig for both of them. So it looks like it's gonna be Eyepatch Con 2012. But my main one, that I'm not sure if I can finish but am attempting anyways, is Dolorosa from Homestuck. The dress is incredibly elaborate (for me and my sewing abilities, at least) plus I'd have to do horns and face paint, both for the first time. But I think it could turn out super cool, so I'm gonna try for it. Other than those three, I'll find something simple for Day 0. I was thinking a Pokeball gijinka. :P
I've already started work for Sakuracon - I got the pink undersleeves sewn today for Rose, and am gonna try to make the black oversleeves before I go to bed. Then I have to make the main body of the dress, which is basically just an extended t-shirt, paint the design on it, attach the sleeves, make the sash and find some better black lipstick. I think I also want to seal my knitting needles so the paint doesn't chip, probably do that tomorrow.
-
I think I've got a some what solid idea of next years cosplays.
I'm thinking Dee/Dum from Heart no Kuni no Alice (With Emo_Schemer being my other half) and then Lavi from D. Gray-Man (Because, again, Emo_Schemer wants me to.) and then possibly Claire Redfield or Tifa from the original game.
-
Figured out all the new things I'm making for the next Kumoricon, Kaede Smith from Killer 7 (NO ONE WILL KNOW WHO I AM) and Cassandra Alexander from Soul Calibur. Cassandra is half done. Hopefully it won't be hard to finish everything.
-
So, im starting over. Ima make a list of all the cosplays i want to do for kumoricon and sakuracon, and then break them down to my top 5 for each.
-
i've started planning and looking at the costumes online.
Im at a toss though between Maka Alburn and Patti Thompson (need a Liz.)
-
Well....I already have goggles for Rita....so that's progress XD
-
Seems I'm slowly getting Yuna's wedding dress all sketched out and planned. I hope to start after my mom's surgery is done and when she is more well and recovered.
With Mikuru.... Seems I'll get her outfit done AFTER this one. Yuna is my number one cosplay priority for Kumoricon 2012.
Claude, all I have to do is find good pair of fake glasses, and fix some things on the costume itself.
-
Finally settled on my third and final costume: Retsu Unohana from Bleach.
-
I got the pattern made for my bass, now I just need to get paid so I can but the wood and start working on it. I'm supper excited. I am going to try to make it supper realistic (paint whise) and I want it to have the fan on the back, perferably one that will spin when you pull the cord, though I don't know how to do that yet >_>

get three friends and be the four horsemen of the apocalypse. I think its Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. but getting a horse would prove to be difficult I think.
-
Lol you could always get one of those horse head on a stick things and ride it around
-
I finally found my Rita goggles. And the fun thing about that cosplay is i can use my actual hair since its the same color as hers. I just need to get it cut and figure out how to style it.

What have I got myself into!!! :o I think my cosplay will be heavy. LOL
Also does anyone have a good method for making your prop look like metal with some aging. My main prop this year needs to look like metal that had been banged up a bit and used a lot.
Thanks in advance. Eveofabyss or Zensuke??? :D

A basecoat of your main body color to start with would be good, followed by a mix of green and black acrylic paint. You'd want to really slather that onto all the concave corners and joins, all the cracks and recessed details. Then you wipe at it with a paper towel to take most of the paint away but leave a decent-ish amount in the areas to look like accumulated grime.
After that you dab at the flat open areas with the paint-covered paper towel to leave a patina, and if you've got enough coloration on the thing you're trying to look aged you then take something like silver rub'n'buff and get a very little amount on your finger, then very VERY lightly trace around some of the raised edges to make it look like the paint has been rubbed off at the edge from repeated use/holstering/whatever.
Honestly you just have to do what you think looks good.

I started making some parts for my base. So far so good. I get paid Thursday and plan on getting the wood then. Once I do I will have Zach cut it for me and then I am on my way :D I will need to get some nob thingies, paper clay, string (if not real bass strings) plastic for the four tuners, a switch thingy, and two screws to attach the strap. I'm going to try to make it look as realistic as possible.
-
Its not really progress for this year but more so for 2013, I'm cosplaying James from harry potter and I was able to find a Gryffindor robe at this amazing store called lil Gypsy for only 8.50. ^^

Looks like i will be spending Saturday morning traipsing around Red's Trading Post in The Dalles. This guys place is great for looking for strange prop material. It's basically a junk yard, and he will just look at the item you are buying and say aahhhhh...$3.50.

@boogipop: I think that dress would be super adorable if it was made of sweat shirt type material. <3

I've gotten all the designing/planning for my costume done. I've figured out how to make everything and now I just need to get the stuff, which'll take some time.

Going to go get my wig for hello kitty! Never worn one before, so this will be interesting. Is it possible to dye a wig?

After this year's being so involved, I have decided to do an easy cosplay for next year. I won't get as much love and requests for pictures, but I can take a break :3 While I haven't quite started executing my costume just yet, as I have other things demanding my attention for some weeks yet, I believe I've settled on Fuko from Clannad :)

I just got super excited! I am going to start as soon as possible now that I've figured out what I wanna do. =D haha I've actually only seen one picture of someone cosplaying it on DA. It is from a video game! A fairly well known one too but not anything Square Enix has done =p I'm gonna carry a wrench around hehehe

Totally happy...just got word back that my plans for my secret cosplay will be acceptable for the cosplay contest. Woot!! ;D

I spent about 2 hours last night reading armor tutorials and have an idea about how to do all parts of the armor. Still stuck on the sword since the best sounding method is wood or insulation foam, both of which are really messy for a dorm room and require special tools. :/ I might just bother a friend's brother to see if he can make something for me.
I did however, grab the cereal box before my mom took it to the recycling. I think it'll be a good draft piece before I get to work with the real corrugated cardboard and everything else.
-
yay fuko! <3!!!! currently looking into how to make aqua's arm pieces i cant decied if i should use foam or fabric....
-
Fabric may be more comfortable.
-
The little craft foam pieces that are like 8x11 in size should be really good too as a base ^^ Your only worry would be keeping it's shape, which is why you might want to do a variation of air dry..
I found a good tutorial about it here http://jiajem.com/tutorials/armor/

has anyone ever made a dress form out of an old t-shirt 2 rolls of duct tape and a good friend who won't continue wrapping you in tape to the top of your head? I think I might have to make one this weekend. My cosplay will have a unique tactical vest and I don't think I can make it without a dress form. And lets just face it I'm no pixie so finding a dress form in my size is out of the question. ;D

I have found the perfect base wig to start styling for Platn. Dawn!
I'm so excited, now to order it! <3

I got my dressform (a hard one, not squishy, and not adjustable) for $300 shipped on ebay. Trust me, this is a steal for one of these things, and much better for draping a pattern than a squishy one or an adjustable one. Also, I suggest using paper tape rather than duct tape, then you can actually pin into the form without getting sticky stuff all over your pins.

Thanks for the idea. unfortunately Im poor and have to make mine besides I have a really odd shape. I will go with the paper tape and see how it works out.

You should make a tutorial for our forums as you go~ That way others could make them if you're successful. :D

regarding duct tape dressform: thats exactly why when i make one i'm going to have "dress form only pins"

Cant even start thinking about next kcon yet~ XD but for akicon.. thats a different story. =_= Its so close.

@sensei yea ill have to. It really sucks not having a computer lol

@Tala: Ebay is great for wigs. I got one for 20 since it was a clearance one and some range from 20-40 bucks, depending on the style, look, etc.

I've started on my Luka wedding cosplay. Still deciding on who else. ^-^

@chromo i found one for 20 with free shipping. It looks really good too. So ive put it on my watch list and ima get it when i get paid.

@Tala: Awesome! Can't wait to see it ^_^

I got paid today! I am going to start working on my bass soon but I ran into a dilemma. Should I just make a prop or an actual functioning bass? There is a store close by my place that sells lots of parts and they have the body, neck, bridge, you name it they have it. It would just be expensive and I could only work on it a little at a time. But that means I could actually learn how to play bass :D

@chromo lol yea me too Ive never worn a wig before. this is gonna be a totally new thing for me.
BUT! i cannot wait to see your yuna wedding dress cosplay. I may just have to kidnapp you for a photoshoot lol
-
I just ordered my Miku costume x3 I just need to find a cheap wig now. Once I do that, I'll pretty much be ready for next year, unless I change my plans.
I need to revamp my Stein costume, which shouldn't be too hard. I just need a new wig and a new shirt.

@Tala: YES! I need someone who will be willing to take pictures of my dress~

@chromo im totally willing to do that! Ill have my new camera then

@Tala: Awesome-sauce! Now I'm more excited for next year. XD
Just got done making a dressform for myself and hopefully after next weekend, I will order the feathers for Yuna's dress and wings. I'm thinking since it will be a while til I can actually start sewing, I will begin making the wings.
Anybody got any ideas or tips for making wings? (Mine are supposed to curve around my arms, so they're a little unusual...)
-
I got the wood for my bass today. I am hoping to get a friend to cut it out soon then I can get started on sanding. Sanding is going to take a long time. I need to sand a curve on the back of the neck and a taper edge along the body where the while paint will go.
-
The only for sure costume I'm working on for 2012 is Lightning from XIII-2. I've been dying to make that armor since I first saw some photos released for the game XD I'm gonna need a lot of cardboard, craft foam, craft board, leather, and wonderful, oh so wonderful feathers ;D
I was also considering Black*Star, since I need a simpler costume that's comfortable if I'm going to be joining staff/volunteering, but I might just bring back Lightning Pikachu for that :D
-
I'm still in planning mode.
Kari from Digimon Adventure 02 is my hardest so far. I don't have a sewing machine where I am, and I don't know if I'll have the time to hand sew it.
Patty Thompson from Soul Eater will be much easier except for the shorts and the hat. The Hat will be commissioned but not sure about the shorts just yet. Her wig has been found I believe and the shirt, I'll just get a red shirt from walmart and cut it :)
If I do Maka with my Cosplay Group the skirt will be commissioned, and the yellow vest with the tie will be ordered from someone on Cosplay.com I'm hoping. Shoes will be bought offline.
I wanna do Pika!Namine. I just found a really good wig, but its too long, so I have to find another or get it trimmed to the right length. The Kigurumi is $60 on sale.
I'm still working on my list of cosplays too D:
-
I started planning in January 2011 XP next years it's gonna be all Len Kagamine's from varies PVs.
-Synchronicity
-Rolling Boy
-Meltdown
But I may debut my Meltdown Rock Ver! Teto Kasane.
*The Len Meltdown will be more geared towards the rock version but will probably be my own design, much like Teto's outfit is my own design from last year.
*Rolling Boy will most likely be like a few cosplayers I've seen, but I'll add my own touches.
*Synchronicity is for the group/skit thingy I found on the forums XP
+First step for me; GET A WIG.

Chromo, if I were you I would hold off on the wings until you have the torso of the dress designed then you would have a better understanding of how to attach your wings at the base of you back. Since your dress will have some boneing in it you should make an attachment sight for the wings. Remember to talk to the lady in the cosplay contest that had the light-up blue ball thing. She has great ideas for wing attachment. Does anyone know if she is on the forums? I think her forum name is Hoshikage. To bad you were in the Kingdom Hearts panel during that class she put on.
As for me spent some time in the local junk yard in my home town. Found a great old pressure gage and a plastic spool that was used for storing wire. Looks like it will make a great winch, just needs some rope, holes drilled, and some silver paint. ;)
Also made a dressform from duct tape and of corse forgot it at my mothers house, about 90 miles away.
-
So, there's a chance that I'll be bringing back Mikuru, Sailor Neptune, and/or Ranma.
There's also the thread (http://www.kumoricon.org/forums/index.php?topic=16115.0) in which I might be wearing something for a special moment... ;)
I'd also like this to be the year in which I will FINALLY be cosplaying as Lina Inverse.
I may also have this be the year that I cosplay a character from a series or video game that isn't that well known or is somewhat old, like Blue Seed, Project A-ko, Whacked!, or Evil Zone.

Man oh man, you guys got started without me!
I have no idea what so ever I'm going to be doing for Kumoricon next year, but I've started on 2 of my plethora of cosplays for Sakura-con
First cosplay I'm doing is Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
I've already started on her head dress (Fused Shadow).
All the details are killing me slowly.

I can't remember if its allowed but I believe it is if you get it peace bound. I'm currently working on the gun for my England cosplay if it happens. My brother bought a air soft gun that was broken and wont fire, and he never returned it so I figured if I painted over it it could be a good piece for my cosplay so that's my progress I'm painting a gun.

Haven't wanted to sew lately, so Rose is kind of stalled. Probably gonna kick my ass and finish sewing her this weekend, then do the painting on her dress, find some black socks and get my wig in the mail and she's done. I'm kind of reconsidering Rogue for Sakuracon; I may just push ahead with Dolorosa and try to get her done instead. I started picking apart her design and figured out how I'm going to do her chest piece today, and started collecting the cardboard I'll need for that. I finished my horns too, now I just need to get a headband for them.

They look really fat in that picture, I dunno why. They're skinnier in real life. I trimmed out that little extra blob of paint in the hook after I took the picture, and I might do a little more work on the paint so they match a little better, or I may leave well enough alone and not risk ruining them. Thoughts?

So, ive decided that my Xion cosplay is not going to be her orginization outfit, but my own design of what she would look like as an actual character in the game, like sora or roxas. So back to the drawing board for that cosplay. My Fem Heavy is coming along nicely. Got my boyfriend a hardhat for his engineer cosplay since he already has everything for his Heavy. Gotta start crocheting his pandapple hat. So id say im at like 10% with all my cosplays. Thank god ive got a year.

SOO... Change of cosplay plans again...
I have decided not to buy any new cosplays (but I will make them, if needed) and stick withen my budget and go with ones I already have.
For Day 1, I'm doing Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts. I will have my Vexen with me!~ <3 Currently while I'm waiting to get a new sewing machine, I'm going to start on the top of Marluxia's scythe, and also Vexen's shield.

Thank you! I just used Model Magic, haha. You can get it for pretty cheap at any decent craft store, it's a Crayola product. I used maybe half a package for these, they're about seven inches tall. It worked pretty well, it's moldable and super light, and it's air-dry, which I was looking for, so I wouldn't end up with flattened sides from baking. It was also fine with the paint, I just used acrylics and there were no problems there. It can crack a little while drying, but not too badly and it's easy to fill the cracks in with some kind of acrylic medium.
The only problems I found were that it's a little fragile (not overly so, but you can break it if you put too much pressure on it; I accidentally broke off the tip of one of them balancing it on the end so I could paint the bottom. It glued back together fine, though). It's kind of tricky to sand without breaking it, so it you need something super smooth it probably isn't your best choice. I've heard Paperclay is better for that, you can apparently sand it down to a pretty good polish.
Wow, that went on for a while. Hope this helps. :)

bought my maka costume & wig this morning thinking about going to joanns to get supplys for souls jacket

Wow... I just must say that you guys are intense :) I'm still fairly new to cosplaying, and I've never dedicated much time to a proper costume. I will some day... I've been watching this thread out of curiosity, and I have a new-found respect for you ALL! Kudos to everyone :)

Working on cosplay gives me something to do. I typically run out of money shortly before payday and if I was just left sitting around the house with nothing to do I would go insane. It keeps my mind distracted and helps the time between cons pass faster. I hope that someday you do get into it as much as we are. You will find it is a lot of fun.
Progress wise. I am going to a friends house to cut out the body and neck of my bass in a little bit. I will make sure to post pictures once its done.

Having cosplay to work on is better then snacking in front of the TV... :) I like having something to do that is creative. Right now my finger nails are nothing but stubbs cause I keep putting off buying materials. Bad cosplayer!!

There are two pieces of wood for the body (can't see them because they are on top of each other) that i need to attach tomorrow when I have access to a drill. After that I need to sand the edging around the body and the round the back of the neck out. I also have the pick guard cut out and painted it white. Its drying then I am going to do another later then finish it with some gloss and it will be done.

Styled my Marluxia wig. The wig I had was to long, so I trimmed and layered it. ^_^ Yes, the color quality is bad in this picture. I used my webcam.

I started sanding the edge. An hour and a half into it I have gone from one side of the neck to the tip of the highest part. Still got a lot of work ahead of me before I am even close to painting XD
Got some more work done. I am just about done with the pick guard and the two pickups. I think I should smooth out the bigger one a bit more and I need to add a gloss finish to the pick guard then they are done. And on the top right side of the cut out you can see where I started sanding it for the white stripe.

Super kudos on the bass, it's looking good so far!
Though it's not for 2012, though I might bring it to next K-con anyway, my Dark Link costume is almost done. All I've got to do is finish the arm aroor, hem the tunic, finish the sheath, and figure out other little details.

Man, ya'll are way too cool and crafty for me. D:
-
nikkiolie you are the bombdiggidy!! That is starting to look great.

Thanks. I got the body drilled together and a sand piece for the drill so I should be able to finish the edge where the white will be either tomorrow or Sunday. Then it will be time to round the neck and the back of the body.

This is actually for Akicon, but I finally took a picture of the top pieces for my Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony) Gijinka. The only thing left to do for the top half besides wig work is to make my cutie mark and attach it to my tie clip. The second picture is the fanart I'm basing my gijinka off of, so far everything seems to be coming together pretty easily. =]

Does it count as 80% if the oufit has been ordered, but hasn't arrived yet? o.o
Princess Sakura (normal):
100% (if I can still fit into the pants. Otherwise, 90%)
Dream Sakura:
98% (there are some things that need to be re-sewn, especially the front, after the shield popped open when someone stepped on the back of my dress)
Roxas:
20% (I have the keyblades, does it count?)
Org!Riku:
10% (I have the wig. The black fabric for the blindfold and the Coat will be bought next week, hopefully).
Denmark:
98% (I have all the parts. I might need a new wig, but then again, I might not. Depends on whether or not my friend will sell me the one I used this year).
Taito:
0% (The costume has been ordered, but until it arrives, I'm not bumping up the percentage. We'll be ordering the headphones and wig as soon as we can, and I'll start shopping around for white bandages and an eyepatch. I might end up being fem!Taito because binding HURTS (and I don't have a crossplay corset).

I'm going to see if I can pick up some Paperclay from an art store near my school tomorrow to finish the chest piece (well, except for painting it), and maybe try to find a black headband for Dolorosa's horns at Dollar Tree. Right now I'm going to go make Marie's eyepatch.

I got the paint for my bass today. I got the blue base paint on. Tomorrow I am going to add the white stripe around the body then use the gloss finish and the body will be ready for the parts.
The neck has wood stain on the front and I started to paint the blue on. All that is left painting wise for that is to clean up the edges and add the white triangle at the top and the Rickenbacker title in black. Here is the finished blue part on the body. More pictures to come tomorrow.

What are your measurements? I have one that is way too big for me if you wana buy it off my hands It was originaly $88 at http://www.hellocosplay.com/kingdom-hearts-organization-xiii-13-cosplay-costume-p-81.html <-------------This is what it is. I've only worn it a couple of times. I'd be willing to part with it for $55 Its a medium and was loose on me when my measurements were 30 around the waist now its just ridiculously loose.

Yeah. I still need to stuff it and make a stand. probably going to use PVC pipe so I guess I need to make a trip to home depot. Will probably use bean bag stuffing. that way on the 14th of Oct I can go buy material. I have a friend that is going to drop a baby soon and will have no time to sew, she is letting me barrow her sewing machine to make my cosplay so I can enter the contest. this cosplay is going to be a beast.

If you can get down here the evening of Oct 14th you can go material shopping with me and we can hit about 4 or 5 goodwills that I know in the area. Maybe Ang would drive you down since your mom is out of commission.
-
@Drauska: I'll have a talk with both Ang and my mother. ^_^

@chromo i have some corset patterns at my grandmas. I can copy them and send you them if you decide to do a corset top. That way you dont have to spend more money.

OK Forum otakus....I need to take an Asian straw hat and a wide brim from a European/American straw hat and combine them together. Now the question I have is: I need to seal this hat before I start working on them so they don't unravel plus they need to be painted. I was thinking of mod podge but I don't think that this will work. Maybe paraffin, or wood glue. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
Actually I just found a hat online that is the perfect shape so I don't need to do all this. But I still need to seal it with something so I can make it hard and paint it. suggestions?
I also just made a materials list for this cosplay and I think this will take me all year to put together. It's a lot of stuff.
-
@Tala: I'll keep that in mind! ^_^ Thank you!

Youre welcome lol

When I need to seal stuff, I usually go for clear self-levelling gel. You can find it at any art store - Golden is a good brand. It dries smooth and clear, and since it's self-levelling you don't have to worry about brush strokes, and it stays a tiny bit flexible so it isn't brittle.

Which means your Ayase wig is now officially MINE. Denmark won't have to unstyle every time we trade off cosplays now. *so happy* I can leave him all spikey and cool with the hat pinned on semi-permanently now. :D

Got a lot of little things done for my Twilight Sparkle cosplay.... got my shoes touched-up and sealed with a new gloss finish, my cutie mark finished and attached to my tie clip, my horn finished, my headband almost done, and my tights should be coming in any day now!
All that's really left now is fixing up my wig! =]

I went through my cosplay box and found all the pieces for Emo_Schemer's ACTifa that I decided to salvage. Everything can be used except the pants. I just need to make new ones, fix some buttons, re-iron the pleats to the butt cape and take in the sides of the vest. Then make the white undershirt, and Tifa would be pretty much done. That'll be a nice side project.
Next paycheck I'm going to pick out fabric for Milia and Minatsuki, and I'm going to cut out the pieces for Lucy's shirt tonight and possibly sew it tomorrow before work. :]

I got the eye patch (may need to fix it up a bit to make it more accurate), black boots, and some materials to make the left shoulder armor for my Fujin (FFVIII) cosplay. Now I need to find a blue blazer, navy pants, short silver wig, materials to make her chakram, and red contact lenses. :D

Bah, that's a crappy picture but you can see the color of the wig (It's soooo pretty!). Mostly did it as a makeup test, and also to ask someone to Homestuck Prom. Anyway, Rose is close to done. I have her dress nearly sewn, I just need to redo one of the sleeves (I sewed it on upside down the first time on accident OTL) and add the pink collar, then I'll paint on the Squiddlethulu and sew her sash.
I also made Marie's eyepatch and found some glasses for Nice, plus figured out how I'm going to make Nice's gloves (I think) and how I'm gonna do Marie's skirt. I've got about 50 bucks of babysitting money right now so I'll probably order a wig for them soon.
I made the base of the chest piece for Dolorosa, but I have a question. Has anyone on here used Paperclay before? Because it's recommended by the tutorial I used for the chest piece, but I'm worried it'll be too inflexible. My chest piece does need to be able to stretch and warp a little to get it on, and if Paperclay dries very hard (as I'm assuming it does, since it's sandable) I don't think it'll work. Any other suggestions? I want to cover the outside of the chest piece with something so I can make it smoother and shape the shoulders a little more.

Went to home depot today to buy some PVC paraphernalia to make the stand for my home made Dress Form. There is nothing better then building something in the Plumbing aisle, and then taking the whole thing to the check out. The guy at the counter was really cool about it so he just started scanning every little piece of it from top to bottom. Fun day. Now I have have to put the form on it and stuff it.

I got to work a little more on my Bass. The neck is close to being done. The frets are on and the white detailing at the top is painted. I need to smooth the lines out and write Rickenbacker on it.

What are your measurements? I have one that is way too big for me if you wana buy it off my hands It was originaly $88 at http://www.hellocosplay.com/kingdom-hearts-organization-xiii-13-cosplay-costume-p-81.html <-------------This is what it is. I've only worn it a couple of times. I'd be willing to part with it for $55 Its a medium and was loose on me when my measurements were 30 around the waist now its just ridiculously loose. Message me if you are interested lol.
Sorry, before I read your post we had already gone and purchased me an OrgXIII coat from OneStopAnime (here in Oklahoma). I have pictures! Now I have the wig, the blindfold, a pair of boots that are black and won't look too horrible under the coat, and my sister's oblivion keyblade for photos (and izumicon's cosplay chess). Before anyone says anything mean about Riku using oblivion, I'll just say it now: Riku is the only character that can legally use Oblivion in 358/2 days, and when you do, it's prettymuch riku pwning everything he comes across. Yes. >3

OK I added a fourth cosplay, that should be fairly easy to put together. I'm trying to get a group of Team Fortress 2 Cosplayers. Hope it works out and we can get a full group with all the classes of characters. Fingers crossed. OK this is my final line-up of cosplay. No more changes. It's funny I just realized that last month I gave my old hard hat to the Goodwill...how ironic "don't you think" O Well I can get another or just do an engineers hat.
Chromo could I borrow your black goggles, mine don't seem to fit the character? The less I have to buy the more I can spend on secret cosplay.

My Marluxia wig came in yesterday, but I can't get it until tomorrow. I'll take some pictures with it when I get my top hat from home in a couple weeks and mod it with the gears I have. I also have my boots already. Just need the clothing xD

My Draco wand came in the mail today ^^

And my Marly cosplay just got a major make over in sense of design... I need to mod my old Org XIII cloak with some awesome brass things, order my goggles and boots, and then mod the boots. Should be a fairly easy cosplay to complete. I just can't decide whether or not I want to shell out the cash for a scythe...

Got started on my Marluxia Scythe. Got it outlined. Hopefully soon I can get it all cut out.

My bass is all painted and the neck is attached to the body. Now time for the gloss. The gloss is drying on the back of the bass. Tomorrow evening I will do the front and I will take some pictures. Thursday I should be able to start putting some of the parts on like the pick guard, the pickups, and part of the tuning knobs.
Once the 15th gets here I will buy the bridge and the volume and tone knobs as well as the rest of the stuff for the tuners. It is very close to being done :3

Well, I guess I kinda did some progress. I plan on cosplaying Shiro from Deadman Wonderland somewhere in the near future, this version: http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lksq65mDGd1qilkbao1_500.jpg
And I found this website this morning: http://spandexworld.com/ Because I plan on making her bodysuit (altering a zentai suit would seriously take the same amount of work. XP So I ordered a whole ton of swatches to try to decide what color pink I want, what fabric I want (cotton, spandex, rayon, etc), how it looks with nude lining and without, and also which black stretch lace I like best. :) I'm super excited to do this cosplay!

I have the bottom half of my maid Italy outfit planned out,no idea what i'm doing for the top.The hardest part is making sure I don't look like a christmas elf ( i'm using his flag colors as my color concept.)

Started scalemailing on Loki again today, I might actually get the top finished at this rate. Then I just have to make the legs and arms.
I need to tear myself away from Pokemon first though ffffffffs

Finished up the sewing on Rose's dress yesterday, and did most of the fabric painting. I need to neaten the paint up a bit and probably do one more coat (painting white onto black fabric, ugh) sew her sash and she's dooooone.
I'lll hopefully be able to get pants, shirt and boots for Nice at Goodwill this weekend, and I already have her glasses, ribbon and the stuff for her gloves. She'll come together pretty fast, I think. Marie's eyepatch is done and I'll probably be checking for a shirt I can modify for her at Goodwill too, plus shoes for her and possibly for Dolorosa.

I'm going to try to look for stuff at Salvation Army this weekend but i'm not sure if I can't get there. Finished drawing out most of my cosplay designs.Not much else I can do at this point in time.

Oh! You could do a mini tophat. That is on a headband, cuz then you could spike it around the tophat.

I just started my Blood Elf cosplay. I plan on going to Spirit sometime soon and getting the World of Warcraft ears, & I should be done in time for Halloween(:
Looking around on Ebay for a long blonde wig...Dunno if it should be curly or not...

So I went digging around in my room last night and i found a cheap pair of winter gloves that would totally work for Rainbow Dash, i would just need to cut off the fingers. I also found a pair of white high-top chucks that I never wear and are just BEGGING to be painted, also for Rainbow Dash. I'm thinking of painting them light blue, making the tongues be rainbow, and painting her cutie mark on the sides of each one.
-
Painting hightops is so much fun!
-
I might be actually working on some cosplay this weekend. (hopefully)
Gonna start on Steampunk!Axel since I have the design done. Thinking of making a monocle and painting the nobody symbol on it. Need to hunt for a brown vest, gears, and material. =D

Call down to Reds Trading Post and just ask them if they have gears there. Metal are preferable.

Have you done it before? Do you have any helpful tips like what kind of paint to use?
-
Fabric paint works the best. Acrylics are okay too, but they're generally a thicker paint than fabric so it'll be harder for it to dry in my opinion.
JoAnn's has a good selection of fabric paint and Micheal's and Walmart usually have a little section for them as well. Get some sealer too because it's possible for it to rub off and smudge if you don't.
That's what I did with my Kairi shoes and they look fantastic to me. haha
-
Thanks! I was thinking of using fabric paint in the first place since they're canvas shoes, I just wanted to make sure that it worked. :3 I'll hopefully be able to get started on them soon and I will definitely post pictures.
-
I used a mix of craft and acrylic paints for mine. They turned out great. But i did get a lot of paint on the rubber part, so id say to tape the rubber with painters tape before painting. And, paint the little metal wholes with the shoes. It took me an hour to just wipe mine off cuz i wanted them black. In the end i just gave up and painted them yellow too.
-
Thanks for reminding me about the tape on the rubber part. I'm going to look at paints tomorrow.
-
Woo! I reccomend mixing your paint to get the right shade blue, cuz when i bought the yellow for mine, it was the perfect color, but when i put it on the canvas, it was to lite.
-
That makes sense. I looked at the fabric paints they had at walmart today and they had all the colors i needed but they were in huge bottles. I only need small bottles for the rainbow colors and then a big bottle for the light blue

On the bright side, my taito cosplay also came, though we'll have to fix up the jacket so the number shows more. (and I'm still waiting for the wig) >.<

I also started working on my old old Duo Maxwell cosplay (even though I don't have the hair for it anymore, or a wig...I'll have to get one.) It started out as pleather, but it's cracking badly so we're redoing it over with black duct tape. We got most of the front done and a good portion of the back before we ran out of tape, so I'll finish it up when we buy more. I wonder if I should make pants out of duct tape as well.....*ponders*

If anyone is wondering, the eyeball and hand in the first picture of the Duo jacket is Titus. I decided to use her as a prop-up when all the pictures of the jacket hanging properly came out with too much glare and/or way too wrinkly to see properly.

My wig and ears came. I need to return the ears though, they are just wayyyy too big. I'm looking at a different pair about half that length.

Working on a Death scythe. Does anyone recommend a type of wood to use for the blade. I need something that is not too heavy, can sand and cut nice without splintering, and is more sturdy then balsa wood. thanks.
-
A piece of wood the size of Death Scythe's blade is going to be heavy regardless of what kind it is. You may want to look into other methods, like acrylic sheet or insulation foam.

I was thinking of acrylic sheet however everyone is telling me that it sucks to cut it. Would you know a place where I can get some that is not like plexi?
-
It takes a little getting used to, but cutting acrylic isn't that hard when you have the tools and know how to do it :\ You just need to go slowly with a jigsaw and not try to rip through it like a piece of wood.
You would have to search online for a sheet large enough to do Death Scythe's blade though.
-
Well i found PVC in sheets, however it's about $30 with $16 shipping. I'm hoping it's worth it. Will probably order it in a week or so. All the plexi and Lexan at home depot looks to be about twice that amount.

I made this costume today for a surprise costume contest at Gamestop to pick up my Batman Arkham city game. I'll be working more on this as the months go on, might bring it to K-con '12? all that's really left is to get a wig (not a nasty Halloween one that I picked up at the store), reapply the diamonds on the pants, get real boot covers (agian, not halloween ones that I picked up at store...), and make the arm warmers, along with a few other tiny details. Though I'll have to redo the pants too. Seriously I made this all in one day so I was pretty rushed.
PLEASE excuse the terrible make up, I didn't have any on hand and didn't realize how bad it was going to look until it was already on and time to go. XD (Also the wig - again, short notice, Halloween, it was that or dye my hair blonde and I can't really do that at this time. XD)

I dunno about a syringe, but I frequently use the stuff that comes in two tubes. You have to mix it but it's the strongest glue I've ever found.
BAHAHA babysitting gives me moneyyyyyy. That and I solved my clay armor dilemma by learning that paper mache is sandable (which seems pretty obvious now that I think about it) so I dont have to use clay at all! Which shaves a good $30 off Dolorosa'a price, easy.
-
You always want to mix an epoxy before applying it, that's the point of a two-part epoxy. The two different parts have to be mixed to-ratio or else the chemicals won't activate properly and it won't bond or cure.
-
Cool, thanks for the input. I guess that these two liquids in the two sided syringe still need mixing in another container before I use. First time using epoxy in a prop.

I know! ;A; I usually wear at least one costume from a previous year to each con, but at the pace I'm going, I'll end up only wearing new stuff. It makes me feel like I've thrown all my other cosplays by the wayside forever when the truth is that I like them all, I just like new things this year.
Because of those detailed shots in Cascade, I'm wondering if I shouldn't make Snowman's trenchcoat with a fabric with stars in it... Assuming that I make it at all.
[EDIT] Or I could sew sequins to a black trench, still assuming that I make it. I think I am going to do Jack, also, because these wings cost me a fortune, but I gave up on the costume I originally bought them for.

The reason I look so pissed is because Android 18s wig wouldn't do what I wanted it to, and the waist size of Yukina is a 22 instead of a 24 somehow, so it's a little snug and this upset me lol....

Ah, man, you make a great Yukina.
I've sort of finalized Sakuracon plans; right now it looks like I'm doing Rose Lalonde, Dolorosa and Princess Bubblegum.

It seems that the progress thread has fizzled a bit over the last few weeks. I found an engineers striped coverall online that I will order and modify into a miniskirt with a low v neck for my Fem Engineer. Right now money sucks cause I have a $400 vet bill to take care of.
-
I'm gonna paint my Rainbow Dash shoes today!!
-
Well, im now helping my friend with his rainbow fox furry outfit for kumoricon, so my cosplays are being put on hold. I have to make a pair of fox ears and figure out how to attach them to a fedora so that they look real.
-
I am thinking about dropping everything and being Altair.
-
no luck on the lizzy wig?
-
no it's not the lizzy wig I just really want to cosplay assassins creed as soon as possible.
-
Epoxy is fun ;D
-
Well I finally settled on my cosplays for Sakuracon so now I know what I need to work on.
Date:
Take the jacket out a little to make it less form fitting
Remake the shirt armor to go under the chain mail
Find better material for chain mail
Fix the sleeves on the jacket.
Taokaka:
New mask (working on that now)
Fix the paint on the dress and zipper.
Haruko:
Finish bass (which its half way now)
Make the dress
-
The only progress I've made so far is that I've created a siggy of what I'm looking at possibly doing.
-
For a con I'm going to in Feb, I'm redoing Kairi's dress (again) so I started seam ripping that and decided how I'm sewing the lace onto the new tank top. I need to get a new hood made out and decide how I'm making the new pouch this time.
Also planning on seam ripping one of Kokonoe's sleeves that is pissing me off and then finally finishing the coat and pants so I can focus on the bracelets that only need to be sanded, painted and sealed. I'll probably remake them eventually, but for now I think they'll do.
After that it's good will shopping for cargo jeans that will work for Melissa from Full Metal Panic since that will be my easiest cosplay this year.
-
Just found my hard hat for my Fem Engineer. I thought it got tossed in with the goodwill stuff when I moved. Nope, just ran across it. I'm so happy. ;D
-
got my sailor moon brooches and tiara in the mail today sooo excited <3
-
I need another cosplay for Sakuracon. The only one I know for sure is Iroh from Avatar but I really want to do something where I get to make stuff. Preferably something big.
-
no it's not the lizzy wig I just really want to cosplay assassins creed as soon as possible.
I am know selling my lizzy wig for $30 if you still need one
-
I don't think I need it anymore.. I have my ciel wig and I am not doing any anime cosplay this year except ciel

O man...If I don't get started on cosplay soon I will be paniky this spring. Barrowed a sewing machine from a friend. Need to make secret cosplay clothes and buy a Dickies blue coveral and modify it into a pinup style short dress. What do you think with the outfit...dolled up makeup and hair coveral dress and either boots or pumps. Ladies?
-
For your Engineer? Or just in general? I think it would be a really cute dress <3
For progress: I've been looking at lots of spandex and ordering swatches so I can decide which color in which fabric I want for my Shiro cosplay. Also need to sell some stuff so I can order cosplay stuff (like Shiro wig, Kuragehime wig), and buy materials.
-
I m workign hard on all my stuff o.o I just finished my wolf ears for my OC o.o their so ubber looking
-
I had Emo_Schemer seam rip my Kairi for me, so I'm going to get that back from her, knock out the tank top and then probably start hand sewing the rest of the green lining to Kokonoe's pants so those can be finished already.
I still need to seam rip the sleeve that's giving me grief and then resew that and try to find a clasp to fix the top part of the collar, which shouldn't be too hard. I need to find a better belt for her and then paint the bell I'm using. I also still need to suck it up, go outside and sand down the bracelet's so I can paint them and be done with it. I might bundle up and do that today after errands.
-
I started working on Deedlit's armor. I got the chest piece cut out and I am starting to strengthen in. After I got the back done I can start finishing the front, attach the detailing put resin over the top and then paint. I also got the shoulder armor pretty much ready to go. I just need to add the detailing and paint it. On the 15th I will get paid again and will be able to get the fabric I need to sew. Before then I can do the last few things to touch up Date and Taokaka.
-
Looks like I'll have to have a whole new cosplay line up due to personal reasoning......
Dunno who to cosplay though... Maybe Marluxia? Axel? Sebastian? Ciel? Grell? Dunno... I'll think of something...
-
^ Um... what is your list currently looking like? Maybe we could help you decide...
-
^Well my original line up was Rose from Titanic, Yuna in her wedding dress from Final Fantasy, and Prussia in a maid dress from APH.
My current list of suggestions and ideas are: Sebastian or Ciel from Kuroshitsuji, Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya, Marluxia from KH, and Prussia from APH.
-
Well, I have no idea who Marluxia is, but between Sebastian & Ciel, I'd recommend Sebastian.
-
^I do have Sebastians outfit already, so that works. ^_^
-
^ Awesome!
-
Kairi is finally all seam ripped, so I have tomorrow off and plan to do cosplay all day after I turn in my Accident claim for thinger for the dmv. Then if I need to take a break I'll work on my co-worker's secret santa! :D
-
Got my dress for Aya Brea. Just need to hem it and fix the strip on the chest area of her dress and then everything is perfect. :)

Babysat this morning, so I have money for Dolorosa's wig. Unfortunately the one I want is out of stock in black right now, but I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully order it in the next couple of weeks.
And I've made some progress on PB's crown - I'm filling in the cracks in the clay today and hopefully can start sanding tonight. I had to add a little to the circumference because I made it to fit my regular head and forgot to make it a little wider for the wig, but hopefully when it's sanded and painted it won't be too obvious.
I'm going to force myself to finish Nice's gloves tonight. I frickin' hate gloves.
-
My Rainbow Dash shirts and shoes came in the mail~! I just need to get the cutie mark printed, paint my shoes, buy my pants, and exchange wigs and get a tail, ears, and wings. Also some rainbow wristbands. Can't wait for this~!

I'm so excited, I got paid today so I'm ordering my Gaz wig tomorrow. I'm getting this one

EDIT: My wig and socks have been ordered! Now begins the waiting game.
-
Here pretty soon I might be getting rid of some of the things on my list. That's about as much of progress as I've made at this point...

I still need to dye the apron for maid!denmark, but Titus was wonderful to make it for me before we shipped her back to Oregon.
Also, SatW Denmark is pretty much done, and I wore it to Izumicon! (with the wrong shoes).

Denmark shares with Axis Powers Hetalia's England. Iggy was shocked and intrigued.

The manga is a nice touch! (And I'm sure people didn't even notice the wrong shoes; nobody said anything to me with my Neptune shoes).

I've decided to do Jareth from Labyrinth for one of the days of Kumoricon 2012, and possibly Sakuracon if I go.
Problem is... I can't find a decent wig. >.< The only one I found was perfectly styled, just the color is to dark. x.x

Yeah Chromo that would work really nice. I think you should go for it.
I can't start ordering my stuff until after the 1st of the year. Christmas is just too expensive to also go out and buy cosplay materials. :) My secret cosplay is going to take a lot of $$ to get everything I need. :-\
-
The only present I'm buying is for a coworker because the irony is too good for me to pass up.
Other than that, I just have to work on acquiring my things for Rin before February.
-
My Gaz socks came last night! They're the perfect color but they fit kinda weird so I'll have to figure that out.
-
i cant wait til monday! then i can order my rapunzel dress >.<

As hard as I try, there is no way I can make these socks work. So I ordered some new tights that I'm sure will work better. Being chubby sucks.

My cosplay for Liger Zero Schneider is nearing completion! All the armor is made, only the mask and attaching some armor is left to do. I hope to get him done by the end of January~

I ordered my Princess Bubblegum wig today. It should come sometime between now and Christmas, so it's kind of a present for myself. :P And I'm almost done with her crown, I'm just waiting for some paint to dry so I can glue the jewel onto it.
I finally got more black spray paint and primed Dolorosa's chest piece, so I should be able to start actually painting that sometime later today. And I got her horns attached to a headband and got shoes for her.
-
I got working a little on fixing up the chest and thigh armor for Date. In stead of three pieces I cut out a peice of pleahter and attached the craft foam to make one big peiece. I am going to spray paint it tomorrow and it should be done. Then all that will be left for Date would be to take the jacket out a little, have my boyfriend finish the chainmail, and get magnets to attach the swords to the jacket.
For Taokaka still the same, need to touch up a little paint and redo the eyes so they light up.
Deed: I need to finish the armor, attach the cloak to the shoulder armor, finish the jewlery, shorten the dress, add the gold trim to the dress, put resin on the sword, order my ears, make a sheath, and make the arm warmer things. A lot of it is all quick stuff or waiting for things to dry.

Ordered my wig for my OC >:3

When the bank deposits my check, I'm going to hit up Joann's and get fabric so I can start making Rose's dress and hood.

Got some of the patterns cut out for Aram today. I'm going to cut out the jacket's pattern tomorrow and make a mock of it out of satin I have laying around.
After thinking it over, I think the costume'll look best and not cook me alive if I can make it out of cotton. My mom says she thinks there's some permanent press fabric for sale somewhere... So hopefully....?
Anyone heard of this?
I'll be going to JoAnn's later in Jan to look for the trim, interfacing and cotton. @_@ And lining for the pants.

This is the first time I'm making costumes, in 2009 when I first went to Con I ordered everything but this year I'd have to specially order and there's no guarentee they'd get it right.
My progress thus far: Slow.
I went to Joanns the other day and found the perfect suede fabric. I bought my earrings for Ember and picked out the wig for Kahvi (not ordering until I know for sure I'm making her).
And thanks to Black~Rose I have the perfect ears for both, I will order that as soon as I get some money coming in. I still have not decided if I'm getting a wig for Ember or if I'm just going to style my own hair.
I need to pick up a sewing machine Friday, but I don't exactly know what I should get, any suggestions as a general idea? I'm not sure what they have at the store right now, but it'd be good to know what to look for and what to stay away from.

I've got a Husqvarna Viking which works pretty well. It's a...Emerald 114, I want to say? Fairly basic, it cost about 400 dollars but it's sturdy and easy to use, even for someone like me who's still pretty new to sewing.
My Princess Bubblegum wig came today! Thankfully it fits fine under my crown, so I just need to cut the bangs and I'll be good there. I got a gift certificate to Fabric Depot for Christmas, so perhaps sometime this week I'll buy fabric and start making her dress. I want to finish her by the end of January if at all possible so I can devote enough time to Dolorosa.
-
I have a Husqvarna Viking also. Pretty spiffy machine.
Mine was somewhere around 400. It's not super fancy, but I love it because it has never failed me.
Even after sewing ruffles.
Ruffles for days ;A;
-
got my wig for Hajime Saito from Hakuōki :D
-
I got a new sewing machine for Christmas (a Brother, it's sooooo nice!!). So today I went to JoAnna's and got 3 yards of pink fabric to whip up my Pinkie Pie dress. (=
I'm gonna get my wig soon, as well as ears from YayaHan and a white cap sleeve shirt to go under the jumper. (=

Normally I'd feel lazy because I'm not making it, but D. Gray-man exorcist uniforms are hard.

Anyone have any suggestion's as to armor? I need it for Kahvi(the chest plate you see on the picture in my sig) and boots, among other things.
I have a little experience with shaping things (made clay masks 5 years ago for my brothers school sale) and I can paint, I just need to figure out what to make it out of, which is what I'm having trouble with. Someone suggested wonderflex to me a long time ago when I was planning to make a weapon but I want to make sure I have options since this would be a first.
-
I'm making some chest armor out of craft foam and so far its going pretty good. I got the pattern cut out and shaped a little. My next plan is to make a dress form/mannequin for myself out of duct tape (just put on a crappy t-shirt and put duct tape on it to make a replica of your chest.) Then I am going to attach the armor to that, finish shaping it and then resin it to strengthen it.
This is the armor I'm making

I made the base out of craft foam and for the breast I used bra cups and placed them where I needed to be and traced them on the craft foam then cut the craft foam and taped the bra cup in since the craft foam wouldn't shape properly. Once I make my dress-form I will put this on it and use some modge podge to smooth it out a little then add resin. I tried to put clay on the top of the craft foam but it cracked since it wasn't shaped right. Sorry if that's confusing. Let me know if you want me to explain it more.
-
That sounds really good for the shoulders, do you think it'll be durable enough for continuous use, especially for the chest?
It would need to withstand constant wear, this is a costume I'm going to be using for more than Kumoricon.
Would I be able to attach extra things onto it? Like belt buckles and straps.
-
Resin is liquid plastic that dries hard. I have some armor that I didn't use resin for and I just used elmers glue and it is supper strong. The resin will help strengthen it but I would suggest gluing a few layers of cloth on the inside of the armor with elmers glue. That helps strengthen it quite a bit. My armor has zippers on the side (the ones that separate) so I can take it off without bending the armor (it wont be easy to bend easily but if you do try hard enough the resin will crack.) Basically what I would suggest would be to follow this tutorial http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/costumes/helmsdeep.html
but before you paint put a layer or two of resin on it to make it supper strong (you can get resin at most craft stores with the glue). Another option could be to cover it with clay then resin over the top.

Just be careful and turn down your heater a bit. It gets stuffy in the duct tape. Also make sure that who ever is cutting you out of it is careful at the small of your back, it's a tricky area.

I started Dolorosa's skirt last night, I'll finish that tonight. I'm hoping to have the main body of her dress done by the end of the week so I can do the chest piece this weekend, and then I need to get fabric paint and start doing stripes.

I'm gonna order wigs tonight too, and hopefully tomorrow pick up nail polish so I can finish her claws.

So far all I have left to do skeletal wise iissss......16 more bones, 2 more skulls [Cat Skulls], and I believe that's it. Then of course, make the full costume which, unfortunately, will have to all be hand sewn minus the pleather areas.
But I'm so close! These all only took me roughly, 5....6 hours at the most. With the help of friends molding the main base. I did all the bird skulls myself though, and a few of the main shirt bones. I think by the end of this costume, I'll be a little....dead.

I use the easy stuff, its just one part resin and one part hardener and then I paint it on with a foam brush and hang it somewhere to let it drip while it dries. Every hour or so I go in and check on it and take off all the half dripped stuff, you know like when its on the edge but hasn't fallen off yet. Its pretty simple. I would love to learn how to make molds and then cast weapons and armor out of resin rather than just covering foam with it.
Anyway all my stuff has resin on it and is drying now. Should be dry by tomorrow morning. :3
-
how much are the resin and hardeners anyway??
it'll definitely help with my white rock wings~~

I use "easy cast" and "pour on" and the price ranges from $13-35 for the bigger bottles. They have both bottles in the boxes so you only have to pay $13 for both. I think the one I got most recently was $25ish and then there is a bigger box that is about $35.
I imagine before Kumoricon I will probably do a workshop. And you live in Beaverton ^_^ I live off Barnes and Cedar Hills :)

It was supper easy. I was able to do the front by myself but I had to have my mom's help to do my back. I didn't do a full body, just a few inches below my breast and it took two rolls of tape to do it. So if you want to do a full upper body you would probably need three or more rolls. I then stuffed it with scrap fabric to help it keep its shape (it didn't really need it though)

I've finally finished my new helmet for my B-wing pilot outfit (Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi). It took me months, probably close to a year now, but I finally finished it. It took a lot of trial and error, especially with the fiberglass/resin pulls, but I finally did it. It's not perfect but for being completely hand made I can't complain.
I'm so glad to finally have that huge thing finished.
My next task is to finish my "belt box". I have almost everything I need to finish it except for a 2" x 2" black plastic box (preferably with a grain finish). I can't seem to find one no matter where I look and despite my best efforts. I never thought it would be so hard to find one. Has anyone seen one somewhere, does anyone know where I may be able to buy one?
I'm planning to do an anime cosplay this year as well but I think I'm just going to commission it. With my ongoing work on my B-wing pilot outfit there's no way I'd be able to make another outfit from scratch in time.

Sure, I'm planing a panel for weapon prop making this year. I've invited Nikkiolie to attend and talk about resin.

Black rose: Yes you need to use a tshirt you don't care about, it is going to be cut from the bottom to the neck, plus you wont be able to get the duct tape off easily.
As for my progress I haven't used resin in a long time and I was kinda expecting everything to be rock hard after one coat but its not =/ So I think the plan right now is rather than doing a bunch of layers of my resin I am going to do a few layers of modge podge/ glue then do a final coat of resin to get everything hard and smooth. However the sword just needs a layer of resin on the hilt and its done.
Other than props, I sent the payment for my duster and arm warmers to someone on coscom. I should be getting it next week.
IF I do a crash course people will need to bring their own resin. :P Its kinda expensive. I don't think I would be doing it at my apartment since I want my deposit back. It would probably be after my parents move depending on what the new place is like (they want a place that is kinda out of the city with a bit of land so it should work fine)

can i just look at you while you work?? i just need to look at how it's done, where to buy it and im good =w=

I have work tomorrow but if you aren't doing anything today I am going to be working on it in a little bit. Times like these I wish I had a web cam and I would just broadcast it :P You can get resin at most craft stores. I get mine at Michaels.
-
As for my progress I haven't used resin in a long time and I was kinda expecting everything to be rock hard after one coat but its not =/ So I think the plan right now is rather than doing a bunch of layers of my resin I am going to do a few layers of modge podge/ glue then do a final coat of resin to get everything hard and smooth. However the sword just needs a layer of resin on the hilt and its done.
Nikkiolie, I just discovered mod podge hard coat. Have you tried it yet? I'm gonna bust it out this weekend for a finishing layer then sand and start painting.

ened up puttign all cosplay stuff on hold till we move my sister this weekend
-
Finally got finances to get started on cosplays, though I'll get the rest next week. Gonna order some of the parts I'm not doing myself for Squall today and a wig, plus finish figuring the pattern out for Kojuro's armor so that when I get materials I can start on him.
-
Okay, looking at how much sewing I've got left to do before Sakur-Con, I've decided not to do Princess Bubblegum's usual outfit, and instead go with this instead:
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages2.wikia.nocookie.net%2F__cb20110730175751%2Fadventuretimewithfinnandjake%2Fimages%2Fa%2Fab%2FReal_You_Candy.png&hash=13ed036875cc5d1688ecc396904be8175a66b848)
I've already got white shorts, pink shoes and some red ribbon I can add to them, so all I need is the shirt and socks (and to trim the bangs on my wig).
I hope to go to Michael's sometime this weekend to get fabric paint for Dolorosa, and I know they sell cheap t-shirts in block colors there, so hopefully I can get one in light yellow and some fabric paint and then maybe be almost done with PB before next week. I want to get one in a larger size so I can modify it to fit hers better (it looks like the sleeves and neckline are a bit different from most t-shirts).

Today, I ordered an awesome poseable Mushu plush doll for my Mulan pinup outfit. :D Tomorrow, I'll be shopping some more to prepare making my outfit!

I will have to check that out. So far my chest armor is coming a long. It isn't as smooth at I want it to be but it will when I'm done. I think I need to get more coarse sand paper.

how hard can a resin get? can it be close as durable and hard as a pvc pipe? *planning to coat the core of a tissue roll as the pieces of my wings

I agree PVC is really cheap.

Go for the PVC the resin is mainly used to smooth things out and fill in holes and cracks and what not.
-
well... the thing there is, WRS' wings is bent-- and i dunno how to bend pvc pipe-- nor have the equipments needed to bend a pipe oTL

-
You can bend it with a heat gun. I used pvc pipe on the inside of foam tubing for my Lilith wings and that is how I bent them.
-
no heat gun oTL
nor prolly have enough moolah to buy one
-
You can alternate 45 degree and straight sections to get a bend. http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Pipes-Fittings-Valves-PVC-Pipe-Fittings/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbuf5/R-100166908/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&superSkuId=202904871 At least in that figure it doesn't look like it has to be a gradual bend the entire time. Or you could use clear pvc tubing to get the bend (put wire in it to make it rigid?) maybe. http://www.homedepot.com/Plumbing-Pipes-Fittings-Valves-PVC-Pipe-Fittings/h_d1/N-5yc1vZbuf5/R-100127878/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053 And heat guns look like they're $25-$50 usually, which is pretty affordable if you think about how much you can use it for. Armor, pvc, etc.
-
Did you know that you can buy PVC matierial but in sheets not pipes? Someday I'm gonna start using that instead of foam. I found a supplier in Tigard.

Okay, Michael's was a success and PB's nearly done! I need to add details to her shirt, figure out how I'm attaching the bows to her shoes, and get socks.
I got fabric paint for Dolorosa, so hopefully I can get some decent work done on her dress tomorrow and maybe start painting the skirt. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to go fabric shopping next weekend, I'm pretty busy, but the weekend after that I should be able to so I can get some kind of sheer fabric for her cape thing.
Still need to order wigs, I've been procrastinating, but of the three wigs I'm ordering (two of which are for friends) I only need to style one of them, since one should be fine out of the bag and the other is being passed off to my friend's mom, who has much more experience with curling irons than I do.

Bought/Painted/Finished the Pants and Shoes for Canaan TODAY.

Well it works better then regular mod podge but resin still works best.

erm-- so... can a resin get as hard as a pvc???
-
At this point, I might only be going as Sailor Neptune, my secret wedding cosplay, and hopefully one more. My financial aid appeal was denied, but I've got an appointment tomorrow to look at getting it overturned. If it does, I'll most likely have that third one, possibly a fourth... I do plan on updating my signature soon, though.
-
What is the best fabric paint (that also has a variety of shades and colors), and anyone know where to find a good pattern for short sleeve ruffles? I also wish it was easier to find a light (like orange cream ice cream-orange) orange tight fitting t-shirt :/ Also where to find plyable metal to create a skeleton for a prop (to be paper machete'd over) And what to fit between the pliable pieces to retain the shape should it be bumped?
-
I generally use Tulip brand soft fabric paint, in matte shades. They sell it at Michael's and it works pretty well.
For something to paper mache over, I'd say something like tinfoil works fine. I use tinfoil and masking tape to make the form I need, and make sure that before you start with the paper mache you cover all the tinfoil with masking tape. You could also probably use crumpled up newspaper.
-
Got all the pieces for my kira cosplay cut out! Next weekend I will start sewing. I will also be sending the Acrylic ink off to the friend who is helping me with my wig. I need to stop procrastinating ><

got my tangled wig basicly done i kind wanna add fiber to the ear tabs to cover my hair.... and maybe remove a few flowers?

I think it looks fine but Yeah I think you should take away some flowers because from the picture it just looks like flowers not wig.

Resin, resin and more resin. I have gone through over half my bottles and the armor isn't quite smooth enough. Its getting close though. I figured one or two more layers and I can sand it and it should be good. The sword is ready for a little bit of paint though and Rinoa's weapon is coming a long (waiting for paper clay to dry on the blade then I can sand)

I did this for fun and i think i m going to cosplay it o.O at kcon its Sebastian in ciel dress all i did was pull my shorty hair into two pigtails and them add my black clips

And after he got all that fabric I realized my coat isn't good enough and remade it. I am about to add the white deatiling to the back and next payday I will get more white bias tape and finish it up. I also got my Rinoa duster and arm warmers today. So that costume is ready to wear, just the weapon is all that is left.
-
I found a skirt for my Roxy Lalonde cosplay that I'm doing just for fun. I don't think I'll be bringing it to the con though.
-
Dolorosa has been officially postponed until Kumoricon. I need to fix up a few things with Rose (one of her sleeves is donked, her collar needs work, one of the Thorns needs minor repairs and I want to cut the bangs on her wig)and get red ribbon and knee socks for PB, but that's all that's left on my own costumes.
For my friend's LSP I need to detangle/dye a wig, hem her skirt and figure out how we're doing her star, and for her Jade I need to detangle and cut another wig and possibly make a skirt. But there's plenty of time between now and Sakura-Con, and this is a far cry from the 'one elaborate costume done each month for three months' plan I was working with before.
Aaaand I need to kick the third member of our group and get her started on Marceline, and possibly convince her to be John Egbert.
-
So I need to redo my entire Stocking blouse T^T I seem to have mismeasured myself. Next time I'll have somebody else do my measurements properly. I'm glad I still have money on my JoAnn's giftcard.
I also need to get an undershirt for my Mio cosplay. I hope I don't completely mess up her blazer :S I don't know how to follow patterns, but I have one that should work... but it's very confusing! :d *fingers crossed* I also need to find socks, shoes and a sweatervest for Mio.
For Len, I need a white short sleeve dress shirt to alter for Meltdown. For rolling boy I only need a black sweat and it'll be complete. :/

Here is what I have so far on Rinoa. I want to get rid of the buttons on the black shirt. And I am still working on the weapon. Should be done by Feb.

They are already there. I bought it off someone on coscom.
I'm working on my chest armor today and I am not quite sure if I need to smooth it out more or not. Its getting close but I think the little bit of texture it has makes it look more like armor but not sure. What do you guys think?

I think it looks pretty good. The texture does make it seem a little more realistic.

Alright well then I will do one more layer and then call it good (since I already put it on >_>)

it looks really good its simular to my sister chest palte she did for her cosplay she was the one on stage and the cosplay contect she had like the craf foam outfit and the bow

Almost done with my comission so I can order some materials that I need for my secret cosplay. I have a lot of work to do on that one.

Almost finished with one project and I'm going to start some new projects that will include using resin which I have never used before. Will resin "eat" styrofoam? And does anyone know of a good youtube vid or how to website for working with resin? Not just resin casts but covering with resin. Thanks
-
Hmmm I don't know. What I would suggest just to be safe would be to paper mache over the resin. If you can't afford some of the stuff I always use flour and water and it works just as well.
I am fixing up some things for Date. Right now I am repainting the armor black (since the chest and thigh plates are going to have to be black). I just barely had enough spray paint to do it all. I remade the jacket and the scarf. I still need to add the white bias tape to the jacket and its done. Next on the list for Date is....finish painting the details in the armor, touch up the swords a little, and chain mail and he should be done.
I'm still working on Deed's chest armor. Its just about ready.
For Riona I am taking the weapon to my parents house to paint it then I just need to add the silver detailing to the edge to make it look more like a blade and its done. And I still need to get a ribbon for her.
-
I am spending a lot of time watching part of the Sengoku Basara anime, looking at art books, and browsing online to study Kojuro's armor. I really want to try for what they have in the game, but I don't know that my braiding will look quite right. I'm gonna pick up EVA foam today, it's on sale, and possibly other craft foams. I need to make sample plates to see which I like the look of better and determine the base for my armor. Sometime, probably tomorrow, I'm gonna go sew Kojuro's pants, dye his socks, and probably modify his under kimono.
I'm also going to sew all of the cloth parts of Parn sometime tomorrow or Sunday. Get all my easy sewing out of the way and leave time for things that I'm not as good at (like armor), for props, and to take my time with Kojuro's jacket.
I'm not sure about swords for Kojuro yet though. Part of me wants to just make Date's broken sword (sense my Date (above poster) has Kojuro's sword from second season), but part of me also wants to make both swords just so I have them for solo pictures. I'll probably make them, but make the broken sword first (provided I have a Hanbei).

I'm so picky when it comes to my cosplays. ^^ I'm thinking of just wearing my nice black shoes for Shinra, because I've not seen him wear any shoes other than his slippers. XD Oh, and I need new glasses since mine broke. -_-

I'm just waiting on my wig now, and I've recently come to have about 35$, so I need to go to Goodwill(Again, we just went yesterday) to get more greyish/green pants and possible a more greyish white button up.
I'm so picky when it comes to my cosplays. ^^ I'm thinking of just wearing my nice black shoes for Shinra, because I've not seen him wear any shoes other than his slippers. XD Oh, and I need new glasses since mine broke. -_-
I couldn't help but noticing what you said about Shinra's shoes. I plan to cosplay him at some point, so I've looked up reference pictures before. Here's one to help you with the shoes he wears, when he isn't in slippers.

Thank you! I cant wait to get it completely done!

Found my piles of satin to remake Richea's skirt. I still have to find out which of the piles is the most in-tact ^^
I also dug out the pattern @.@; It was folded so neatly, I almost didn't see it.
I'm also waiting on the next wig for Roxas.
-
O, thanks about the reference of Shinra! ^^ I forgot about that pic of him.
Well, I have everything for Shinra now, well, bought everything. I got new glasses and am now just waiting for my wig to get here. (Sometime early febuary it should come), but I don't know how pleased I am with my lab coat, it's a little too big. :/ OR makes me look bigger than I am. (I'm really thin, but my lab coat doesn't really help show that. XD Guess I'm just not used to buying X Smalls now.)
But, it'll have to do. I just need to iron it, maybe that'll help. ^^
But I can't wait to get my wig! I ordered this wig: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Shinra-Kishitani-DuRaRaRa-DRRR-Short-Black-Cosplay-Party-Hair-wig-J45-/160705251719?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256ac78987#ht_7366wt_1110
I liked the style/look of this one and couldn't find any more brownish,(whohoo, 3rd black wig...) but I Think it'll do fine. ^^
OH and today at a flea market I got a new black vest, 4$, fits very nicely. I needed a new one so badly. XD
My glasses I got for Shinra will work fine for William too.
Actually, I think all I need is another pair of pants for Shinra, more greyish green ones instead of black ones. ^^
So, besides the pants for Shinra, I should have everything I need for all my cosplays!
Next is working up money for hotel room and K-con ticket. ^^
-
Well, I got the wig I was going to wear with my Jellyfish dress, but... it's darker than I thought it was going to be. So I'm going to see if I can return it/exchange it for a blonde wig (I had bought a pink wig). I'm considering buying a wig on Cyperous instead, but they're expensive. ;_;

@bunny_jean
I'm not sure what kind of wig you're looking for, but you might find it here: http://www.wigisfashion.com/ (http://www.wigisfashion.com/)
This site is awesome : )

Thanks for the link! I was trying to find a really light pink, long, wavy/curly wig, but that seems to be impossible to find, so I think I'm just going to get a platinum blonde one in the same style. ^_^

No problem! I hope you find what you're looking for : )

We've had this coat for ages.
And I just had to cut up one of my old wigs to get his hairstyle.
And I think my grey skinnies might work better with this outfit than the black ones.... now that I look again and see Izaya has grayish pants.

O.O Oooh it looks awsome Nikki!
I got the fabric for the petticoat. I had issues in wondering if organza would work for the skirt... So I ended up buying 2 different colors of tulle to do 2 layers of them, and for the last tier I'll take apart the old petticoat and use that fabric.
-
@ Nikkiolle, that armor looks amazing!!

Thanks :3 I'm super excited to get everything done. That costume is so close. Rinoa is just a little bit of silver paint on the weapon and she is done, and I have just a little work left with Date.

Progress: I finished my Timcanpy horns, and I"m buying an adjustable dress form to continue my cosplay~! : 3

Squall's outfit came today. I think it looks good but probably needs some modifications. Waiting on the wig before I do my eyebrows and put on the scar, to see how it all looks together.

I got Ciel and Richea's shoes today at goodwill :D And some more spray paint for Ciel's cane...
I still have to attach the buckle things to Ciel's shoes, and put some elastic on Richea's shoes (my high arches make me walk out of them, but they fit otherwise).
-
Maiku, I think it's pretty good. Though just b/c I can't see anything in the pictures doesn't mean there are some things that need to be done that can be seen in person. I say do whatever you feel is needed.
As for me, I've mainly been working on my original steampunk Cheshire Cat. The mask is done!

Woah, that's a really cool idea! I have never heard of anyone ever doing a steampunk cheshire! The mask looks amazing! I can't wait to see the final cosplay~!! : D

I've seen very few on Deviant Art. And thanks ^^ I'm excited myself since the final product always looks better than my drawings ^^;

Nikki...that does it. I've got to learn how to use resin.
-
I just spent the last two hours learning how to do a French seam.... Supposing the tutorial named it correctly.
Also spent a while today messing with dyes and the satin that was going to be the trim. Vinegar and the dye, yes, both dyes together no-no... *hangs head shamefully* I didn't think about the chemicals in the dye when I mixed them into the same bath. I now have kelp colored trim (green and brown randomly in places) with a gradient from brown to a nice lovely pink.... I'll be making a new set of trim tomorrow with more dye.
I swear, if I have to go to JoAnn's on Saturday for anything I will refuse.
-
Gotta say that sounds kinda cool. But obviously not when you want it one color ^^;
So I've been working quite a bit on my steampunk Cheshire Cat....I started ears, and have been working on my trench vest and spine/tail attachment.
-
Since I can't do much on my cosplays yet (is waiting for the materials to arrive), I started working on making a Ragnarok (Soul Eater) doll for my little sister since she'll be cosplaying as the child Crona. :P I am currently finishing up the head and will then move onto the body.
-
Today I'm going to be completely rebuilding Kon's head. This time we are making a fiberglass shell rather than the heavy foam thing we had before.
-
My parasol I ordered for my Gothic Lolita outfit came today. It's kinda small, but I thinks it's cute :). I also made some wrist cuffs last night.
-
I just got notified that my new lab coat(had to order an XS since the S was too big. I hate cosplay stuff that's too big for me. >.>) and my Shinra wig were shipped out today! I hope my wig comes by v-day. XD I Want to cosplay Shinra to school that day. Why, because I can, and it's not like I've got anyone to impress that day so I'll just cosplay Shinra. XD
And I'm all preregistered for K-con and got my hotel booked, so aside from other cosplay stuff(I might add Austria to my list of possible cosplays, because I love Austria so much, and I play piano. ^^)
But yep! Just gotta wait for everything to show up.
-
@neko: Yeah it's cool, but I still need to rinse it more. And it's not even the right green...
I have to rinse all that out when I get done dying the fabric now. I used teal and it came out a serious blue shade XD I can't win. But the blue's pretty and will work, so I won't mess with it. I just have to dye the part pink and rinse that and let it all dry, and then vinegar bath it.
-
I got the magnets I need to attach my swords. Unfortunately I think I got some that are too strong. I can't separate them XD. When I get home I am going to see if I can use all four of them and attach one to each of my sets of sword and the other two on the inside of the jacket. If that wont work then I can just use the ones attached to my swords and use my studded belt to attach the swords.

Got my wig for Edward V yesterday. Still needs a bit of work with layers and what not but I really like it.

Deed I need to make the arm warmers (will take an hour tops)
Date I need to add the white trim to the jacket
Rinoa I need to add some silver paint to the edges of the weapon and attach some elastic to it to attach it to my arm. I suppose I could do the last now since I have elastic.

Hi everyone!
I'm mainly working on getting a Tavros Nitram cosplay together (Homestuck) at the moment. This is gonna be like the first cosplay where I'm actually making parts of it instead of just buying it straight off of ebay man I'm so ballin' ecstatic over this.
Today I bought all the ben nye creme I need for the makeup, plus tights for the armsocks as well as the ears. :'o
Tomorrow I plan to pick up as much as I can at Freddies as far as other makeup, glues, paints, etc go.
I'm reaaally excited to see this come together. ; u;
Especially since I have spent like the last 6+ hours looking up tutorials and stuff on just about everything.

Finished cutting my wig for my Eileen cosplay I'm doing at Sakuracon for the huge Regular Show group I'm a part of.... the wig I ordered came as a slightly different color than shown, so I'll need to dye it at some point, but that probably won't happen for a while.

Did a make-up test for my BMO Gijinka a couple days ago.... I was trying to use as little of my Ben Nye stuff as possible, so the color is no where near as even or deep as it will be when I actually do the cosplay, but I'm really pleased with the product!

Everything for Kojuro and Parn is now cut out and ready to be sewn. Tomorrow I'll sew Kojuro's pants and under-kimono, I'll also probably sew together the base for his chest armor.

Over the weekend I washed the trim for Richea x.x; nice and clean. Forgot to iron it though... but it's not nearly as crinkled as before, so that's good. But there are some parts that twisted in the dryer, so they might need to be ironed before I can use them.
I also have a familiar sight of Richea's wig on my tripod in my room with a plastic bag on it.... I spent like 30 min trying to make it as smooth as possible on the top. It's a tad crooked on the head, so I'm going to adjust it after the glue finishes drying x.x; I sprayed the heck outta it.

Today I might take Shinra out for a "test run" at the mall!
I'm debating whether or not to go ahead and look for pieces for a Celty cosplay. I've been wanting to do something artsy and working on her helmet should be fun.
Plus, I think I could pull off her leather one-suit nicely. ;P
Just, I'm not sure where to get a leather onesuit....Or maybe I could just find a tight leather top and tight leater pants? Whaddyo think? I honestly dont' want to have to buy anything else online

A few days ago, I bought the fabric and such for Maka's jacket, only to realize that I forgot to get buttons for her cuffs O.o I'll just have to get them next time. Haha. Although I'm sure the jacket will be mostly done by then.

Alright so! Ima gonna get started on my Fem!Heavy and Cubchoo gijinka cosplays sometime this coming week.
I've got my leggings, and boots for my Heavy. Still need black vest, red shirt, and to make my bandolier. Just can't decide how to make it.
Anyone have any ideas?
-
for your bandolier I know some costume stores have belts for that, maybe get of those and alter it a bit for an over the shoulder fit?
As for progress I started on my Tentecles for tentaspy and started fixing up my Medi-Gun >< Not very modivated as of late.
-
Bought a Build-A-Sound voice box and recorded Ragnarok's scream for my Ragnarok plush toy, plus just ordered a doll armature skeleton for Ragnarok as well. :D
Oh yeah, I got pants for my sister's Luka cosplay as well!
-
Oooh I'm excited to see how the Ragnarok will turn out, Ookami! ^^
I'm styling my new Roxas wig. It is a bit on the orange side, but it isn't too bad I think... Currently it's hanging upside-down via plastic shopping bag and tripod with a soda can holding a spike in place as it dries...

I started working on Laurie's Yukimura jacket. So far it is turning out alright. My sewing machine wont sew through four layers of pleather so I have to hand sew most of it, but it gives me something to do at work. I got all the pieces cut out and the body pinned together. I am hoping to get it all sewn together tonight. Then tomorrow I will sew the sleeves to the jacket and then finally add the top stitch to the whole thing, and all the detailing (studs, black stripes and the coins on the back)

@Tanuki - it photographs lighter than it is for some reason. It's much more goldeny orange in person.
I got some more spikes done, and its' right side up for now. I also shortened the long top spikes cause they were looking too long and thin for my liking.

I found a perfect jacket to use as my base for Matt's vest so I'm probably gonna end up being him to con now XD
Also I took out the zipper of my jacket for Ritsuka so I can put a different one in.

Got pictures of my Jareth wig. Sadly my camera died so I had to stick with my cellphone camera. >.<
Still needs to be styled, and I am also going to find some blonde clip-on extensions since the wig is a tiny bit shorter then I thought it would be.

A punky in 613 might work for Jareth.. It's what my roommate's named my wig until I style it XD It's "Jareth!"

did two days worth of cutting and sanding ! all theres left to do is touch ups and painting .. ahhh yes.
not a recent picture but it sorta shows how the blades cave in to look like .. blades.

I just finished the hoopskirt. I have to still adjust the top of the petticoat (evil thing) and get the trim on the skirt itself. I can try to do it alone, but it's pretty hard to pin something into place and make marks to cut and stuff when you have to lean over yourself x.x
-
To be honest, I've been slacking so much! I haven't had time to work on cosplays in between school, homework, work, and swim team. But Swim Team is over, and the family I cleaned for is moving away so I only have to worry about school stuff.
Anywho, my goal today is to tidy up my cosplay room (I'm so happy! I finally have a room to put all my stuff in!!) so I can actually work, etc. But then I'm going to style the Canaan wig that came in a couple weeks ago. And then I'll probably finish sewing her shirt as well. Then tomorrow my hopes are to finish Clare's other pauldron, and then carve them, and attach them to the armguards. And maybe if I have time, I'll put a layer of papir mache on the sword <-- my nemesis.

Keep trying to find a Uranus wig that I'm happy with, but not meeting with any success. :( Will probably order the boots like right after I get off here though.

Today I'm going to try and be very productive. I'm trying to finish as much stuff as possible before I move.
So my plans for today are to finish Stocking's dress and bow. Finish Mio's skirt and start her blazer/coat. Start Len's Meltdown shirt and accessories and style my Len wig. T^T I hope I can do most of this today.

I'm thinking of adding either Madoka, Homura, or Mami (from Magical Girl Madoka Magi) to my list for K-con. But I can't decide which.... Any suggestions?

Got my Sailor Uranus costume in the mail today. :D It's pretty nice, but there are a few tweeks I want to do (mainly the front bow isn't quite the shade of yellow I want, and the sleeves need a bit of tucking) and it'll probably look better on me if I were to lose about 5-10 pounds.

I got isopropyl alcohol today, so right now I've got three Sharpies' worth of ink soaking in that. Later tonight I'm going to spray dye my Mokona wig purple for my Adventure Time group's LSP. Plus I got plastic set of drawers so I can clean off my sewing desk and actually, you know, be able to get to my sewing machine.
I swear to god I will finish Rose this weekend. If I don't, somebody please kick me.
-
When sharpie dying a wig, I am not sure if you will have the problem or not, I was dying a silver wig pink and the dye was just running right out as soon as I sprayed it on. I tried one more thing before I gave up and it worked. I used a blow dryer on low heat in the area that I just sprayed and it worked and the wig took the color. I'm not sure if that was something I just went through or even if that was a step and I totally didn't read it, but if you run into the same problem I had try that.
-
I read a Katiebair's how to thing and it says to use heat on low, if I recall :) So it must be heat as the magical thing.
I know when I dyed my shirt for Yuna, I needed to have the water boiling in some cases, not just warm or hot.
I went to Target today. Got the bra I need, with need to do alterations to it. I also got some white tights for Ciel @.@ Better then fighting with socks and knee-highs that'll fall down.
-
I haven't started spraying yet, but thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind if I run into problems.
-
My wig to style for Parn came today and so did his Contacts. I just need his gloves and the non-armor parts are done.
I had a set back with Kojuro but found a solution that'll work better, he might not make a photo shoot but he'll still be kicking butt by Sak.
Squall's belts have the dye drying on the edges and the wig needs touched up, but otherwise he is done.

Went to Fabric Depot for the first time today....that is like cosplay making nirvana. Can't wait to go back with some cash. Probably going to buy my entire rave outfit there. Still need to make the clothes for my secret cosplay. It will probably all be there.

I've been putting all of that applique I dyed over the summer onto my DWC Miku dress. Just at the pinning stage right now, and I'm going to remake the corset, so I'm just pinning the applique to that so I make sure to save enough. What do you think so far? I'm probably going to end up taking some off, and I still need to pin stuff to the train.

^^^ You are seriously going to be the cutest Kairi, Black~Rose! :D

Thank you ^^

Paper and I spent about 10 hours or something yesterday/this morning working on cosplays x.x Her Roxas wig some, my Roxas pants- damn chaps- and my Richea skirt.
So... much... satin... *faint*
We got one chap completely done, so she just needs to work on the other, and I showed her how to finish her Roxas wig ^^
And we basted the hell out of Richea's skirt. I can finish it up today now~ <3

I think I'm going to switch from doing Jigglypuff (pushing her off until Kumoricon, as much as I love her, I don't think I'll have time for her) to doing Wedding Dress!Donna (http://i528.photobucket.com/albums/dd330/sjswas/d10-9c-293.jpg) from Doctor Who with my wonderful girlfriend as the 10th Doctor.
If I don't have time to finish her wedding dress (which, with all my AP and IB classes, I doubt I will) I'll probably just do her outfit from Partners in Crime (http://popculturezoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/s4_01_wal_02.jpg) (Which might actually work better considering I have a stuffed Adipose (http://static.fjcdn.com/comments/He+reminds+me+of+an+Adipose+from+Doctor+who+_74f37b8fed4c70aa16d78a590426b3f9.jpg))

Found the wigs we're going to order for Marshall Lee and Marceline.
And The tutorial we want to use to make their axe base. :3
Now we know all the materials we need and how to make it ;D

I got one of my patterns in the mail just now! Yes~
I also ordered some boots I needed. Excitement.

Waraji and Tabi socks for my Rukia cosplay came in the mail today, along with my Yuki Nagato outfit. Only thing left on Yuki is to style those bangs! Will be premiering Yuki this weekend at ChibiChibicon hopefully. Hoping to take some practice pictures this week with the costume before this weekend. :3 Very Excited~

Having a sewing machine, is so helpful. And it only cost $19.97. xD
But thanks to the sewing machine, I've been able to sew the skirt for Sam's Midna and the start of Amber's Postman toga.

woot chibichibicon makes costume tests perfect XD it's so small! I might wear my Roxas wig to it to make sure all the spikes are cemented in place... Though I might wear Richea instead @.@ Depends on what I feel like doing
Started work on Richea's crown. Drew a paper draft, cut the paper draft, modified it, cut it again and then taped it to a cereal box and cut the heck out of it. Then taped it to a plastic bag over the wig and then applied the 3D paint. It won't be green as the final run- this is just the only color of 3D paint I happen to have.

@bunny- should the colors be in sections? it looks like all the blue are on the right, all the red are on the left and all the black are on the train o.o You could space it out and make it more even. I like the locations and positions overall :D And will you put one or some small ones under the chains on the front?
I really don't think it's too much. My eye just caught this time around now that there's black on it, that the colors are on certain parts/sections.

I was putting them in sections on purpose, yes. XD In my reference picture where she has the color on her the blue is mostly on that one side, and the red on the other side, but I wanted to make it more cohesive by having the blue and red kind of blend into the black. I wasn't planning on putting any under the beading, just because I thought that would be too much.
But yeah, the black is just on the train. Do you think I should replace the black with more red and blue instead?
-
I like it how you have it. Defiantly makes your eye look at everything!
So, I ripped all the hot glued parts that were on my Gaara coat today and started working on getting the glue off. I'm planning on redoing it and actually sewing it this time to make it look better ^^
Also, my Rarity wig came today, yays! I need to make my ears and horn for that.
As well, I need to go to JoAnne's to get more stuff so I can continue working on my Cheshire. Though I did find headphones that are perfect and will replace the ones I attempted (and failed) making.
I sadly wont be able to do much this week with dress rehearsals and opening night...But the weekend and beginning of next week I will accomplish stuffs!

That is something I'm currently trying to figure out how to do that, so far my attempts have all ended up with it falling. I think I may just need to use a different material that is stiffer.

Is it just a piece of fabric, or an undershirt? What kind of fabric is it now? I think it should just be a smaller piece of fabric...

I've started gathering supplies and working on very silly looking schematics, and I've run a few "can I actually make this look right?" tests on a small scale with clay.
Progress!

it is just a peice of fabric and its sort of a t-shirt material. I think making an actual top underneath might be more beneficial.

I think so. You could run some plastic boning through the trim at the top or a wire. Wire might work better in the long run.... You could also make it a tad smaller and sew on a few pieces of interfacing to make it sturdy :D

I think so too, otherwise if you just stick with the one piece of fabric, I'd change to a non-stretch material .

This is gonna be my motivation post/list of stuff that I need to get done :P
For my Vaporeon...
I need to finish the collar and sleeves on my kimono and it is done.
The obi I have just begun, but I need to make the obi sash itself and then the tail.
The umbrella and fan I have ordered, should get here in 10 days, and then I need to paint them.
I still need to make the under kimono, and maybe sew some purse-thing into the sleeves.
I need to sew the ears and attach them to the headband.
I need to decide on make-up and earrings to go with the outfit, along with hair stuff.
Need to get some Geta or just make do with my ordinary sandals.
For Jill:
A lot, very much won't be ready for sakuracon I think.
over all I think I'm doing pretty good, considering last year for Sakrua I did my whole kimono and stuff in the 3 days before the con. XD
-
I got the socks that I originally ordered for Pinkie Pie in the mail today but they don't really fit my new design so I'm going to have to send them back. And I'll get to go shopping for possible Pinkie Pie clothes tomorrow. Also, my mom found some fuzzy curly bright pink fabric in her closet and she though I could use it for Pinkie Pie but I have no idea how XDDDD
-
Fuzzy curly fabric? Would it work as some sort of addition to the wig perhaps, or something for a tail?
-
I was thinking about maybe making a tail with it but I dunno. I'll figure something out. XD

You can get fabric with rosettes sewn all over it at Fabric Depot, I dunno if they'd have the right color you want, but we used those for a squid costume at the costume shop I work at and they looked fab, and were super easy to cut out and sew on.

Went to Michael's today and got ribbon for PB's laces. Now all I need for her is a pair of white kneesocks. I also got stuff for friends' costumes I'm helping them with - things to make a John Egbert shirt and a headband with a star for LSP. I'll hopefully get to all that tonight.

Has anyone ever tried to cut the rim off of one of those woven pointy hats that you see in all the asian movies that the folks working the rice paddy fields wear?

Yeah I was thinking something similar. not sure what I should use: Parafin, mod podge, resin to hold it together while I cut.
The whole thing is gonna get resined when it's the correct shape.

Just pinned everything on my Gaara coat so I'm ready to sew and finish that. And I'll be finishing my gears for my Steampunk jacket soon.

Finished sewing the fur onto my jacket I have for the Masked Man.
Now Im working on the helmet and I all have to do for that is paint it.

I got one of my shoulder spikes and one of my elbow spikes done for Darc. The bigger one will go on my shoulder. They are made out of latex and stuffed with batting to help hold the shape.

I also have my horns made and will start putting latex on them soon. I put a little bit of foam on my glove to make it look a little bigger and I will start putting the blue latex on that soon too. I am also waiting for my scale clay mat so I can start the scales. My ears are almost done as well. I just took the ears I got for Saix and added a small spike down at the bottom pointed down to the ground. And of course it all needs to be painted but I am waiting for a friend to get an airbrush.
I bought the fabric for his skirt/wrap thing and it just needs to be sewn then I need to dye the red parts.

I've had to rethink my helmet desigen. So the helmet has turned into a face plate. LOL But it still works. Since you never see the back of the helmet anyway cause it's covered with a hat and a drop cloth.
You never appreciate street light covers until you have to cut one in half. ;D
Interesting side note, the pieces that I've cut off of the light cover could make some interesting shoulder pieces some day. :D
Cheers!
OK I'm thinking my secret cosplay won't be in the contest. Cause I don't think I want to make all the clothes. Is that lazy?

my ears for Darc are shaped. They just need to be painted. I had some elf ears and I added the bottom spike with latex. I didn't make the whole ear. The other ear is still drying a bit but it is pretty much done too.

^^ well done.
Doing a Joanne's run tonight so I can make the brim for my Asian straw hat. After I get the hat all put together I'm gonna learn how to use resin on some practice pieces before I apply to my hat. If anyone here knows about resin, I have to do the whole process in doors with all my windows open and a disposable respirator, do you think that is enough circulation and protection or should I really really try to find a place outside to work on this? Also would you all recommend sanding in between layers of resin, or do multiple layers of resin and then sand the whole thing?
What's really sad is that I've picked my cosplay for 2013 already. If I can get some weight off my booty that is. Deunan Knute from Appleseed, Chenglish from Black Lagoon, and possibly be in a Disney princesses zombie group.
have a great weekend of sewing and crafting folks.
There are just too many awesome cosplay out there to fit into one con.

As for my progress we are having a work day and I plan on finishing (or at least getting really close to finishing) Yukimura's jacket for Laurie. It doesn't look like I will have access to a machine strong enough to do the top stitch (since parts of it will be four layers deep) so I am probably going to have to do that by hand, but that will be all that is left.

I'm looking for some silver/grey contact lenses... ones that would still show up over brown eyes. But I'm not having luck, all of them are out of stock. *sigh* I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some...
Try pinkyparadise.com or candylens.com
My friend bought some gray contacts from there and she had dark brown eyes, which the contact lenses are very opaque. :) Plus I heard they are very comfortable as well.

I was just going to suggest Pinky Paradise. :3

Bought my first Resin kit today (expensive)...the next couple of weeks should be fun. Lets hope that I have enough ventilation in my place.
QUESTION: Should I sand in between resin layers? How many layers should I put down? What is the recommended drying time. What grade of sand paper would one use for a smoother finish? Thanks in advance. (resin virgin :) )
PS i can't stop watching soundninja12's animated avatar. ;D

You could probably make the base out of cardboard and then cover it with paper mache or Paperclay? Paperclay is kind of heavy but it's sandable and easy to mold so if you did just a thin layer on top of a basic form you could get nice clean angles. I've also used foil crushed into the vague shape of what I need and covered in masking tape and then a layer of Paperclay. You might be able to find some kind of cheap tiara to mount it on, too.

I'm hoping to go, but I might not have the munnies to do Kcon this year. Or even a ride there >x< BUT if I did I'm hoping to have an Ariel cosplay, the one where she's human and is in town with Prince Eric... we'll see how it goes ^^

I would wait at least 24 hours between layers. You can sand if you want. The high the number on the sandpaper the finner grain it is and the smoother it will make things. I would say get one around 60-100 and one around 220. Use the 60-100 to get the larger bumps out and then once you are done with resin go over with the 220.

I went to the mall today and found a pair of elbow-length white gloves for Mars! I wasn't planning to start on her until after Sakura-Con but they were $2.37 and they actually fit me really well (I have hilariously tiny hands so finding gloves that fit is always a bit of a challenge). However, I did not find white knee socks. We checked in like seven different stores. :/

Have you checked out Macys? They have a pretty good size section with knee high and thigh high socks. I was surprised when I went there.

I'm working on making ears and a tail for Ritsuka tonight. I'm trying to make them look realistic (my sleeping cat as my model XD). As well, I'm fixing up my Kodona outfit. I'm making a mini tophat from scratch, so that should be interesting.
Trying to get both done this weekend for a couple photoshoots XP
And then I'm going to working my butt off on my steampunk Cheshire Cat. I still haven't started on the gauntlet...

Black eyeliner, masscara, plumping lip gloss and something to even out your complection. Along with lotion to apply over time because women have naturally softer skin. The makeup i suggested will help you play up or create feminine features.
As for brands i use maybeline difine a lash(the bottle is green). Eyeliner i use essence long lasting eye pencil 01 black fever. And those are the only two brands suggestions I can give you becuase i don't use the other stuff a lot.
I hope this is at least a little useful to you :)

I find that drag makeup can really help with doing makeup to make you more female try this guy here hes tatorial helped a friend out who dose male to female cosplay. this is a natrual look so you can add on but it should really help you and you dont have to do the lips at all but the foundation and other stuff he dose it really good and very natrual that i think would look good on your .

Hey hun I have a qustion o.O I m torn up at the moment of what i should do I m trying to make a mask but the pain wont stop chipping even with the gloss i place on it o.O any idea on what i should do ?
-
What kind of material is the mask. A lot of acrylic paints flat out wont stick to plastic. There are also several paints that don't want to stick to metal either. Make sure you have paint that will stick to the material of the mask. There is spray paint that is made just for plastic. Maybe that will help other paints stick to it better. Also look into primers.
-
What she said~
My mask is clay so the paint stuck very well. I have painted a few plastic masks and didn't have problems *shrug* But I did but a lot of coats on them.

Oh gosh it's been a while ahahaha ;;;;;
Today I worked on my Tavros horns, ended up making some for Eridan too so I guess it's pretty official at this point that I'm gonna be cosplaying him as well.
I used pink insulation styrofoam (found at Home Depot for like $24--HUGE PIECE) and then once I had the shape I papier mache'd it. I'm letting the mache dry overnight and tomorrow I plan to paint them. I'll upload pictures tomorrow to show how they turn out!
I also finally managed to get the print symbol on my Tav shirt. (we had the mishap of trying with an iron-on for white shirts... yeahhh didn't go over so well) but it's turned out great this time!
I guess some advice for people going at it this way, I highly recommend editing the symbol, picture, etc so it has a black outline (or whatever color your shirt is). This way you don't get tiny slivers of white when you iron it on.
Ummm otherwise I have my armsocks made up except I need to glue the nails on.
Only thing left of Tavros is to buy an overshirt.
For Eridan I've bought the fins and hair clip extension for the colored bit today. I'm gonna try to whip him up in time for Sakura con, but no promises there.

I used pink insulation styrofoam and paper mache over it, then paint. I highly suggest this stuff for larger horns or head props, man. It's super light weight, and doesn't bother your head at all.
I'll probably end up remaking them for Kumoricon, though. now that I have a bit of practice, I know I should have sanded them down more and probably used hard gesso instead of paper mache. Also next time I'll make them a bit skinnier.
Otherwise I'm pretty pleased with the turn out!
Gonna glue Tavros' horns to the band then I'll get pictures of those too! loljustkidding
Tavros' horns turned out to be bigger than I thought they were, so I need to remake them now. <w>

Spring break.
Gotta iron the Richea costume. And have to look for the lace still... Ugh *sulk*
I'm also going to repair Link and see if I can't get his shield to work better with a new foam core backing. Which means repainting the entire back all over again. Dang it.
I hope to have both those done before SakuraCon. And hopefully get my Roxas pants in my hand before the con.
After that, it's just a matter of seeing what parts of Richea survive Sakuracon and what needs to be scrapped.
I've also got to fix the master sword for Link. Somehow.

I also worked more on my axe bass for Marshall Lee. I cut and sanded it down last night into the right shape, and today I glued the axe and neck of the guitar back together and glued a couple strips of cardboard down to hide the ugly bits.

My best friend came over to my house and forced me to work on my Pinkie Pie skirt while she played my Dragon Age 2 game XDDD The skirt is almost done. I'll finish it tomorrow.

i finished my sweetie belle fhanny pack! its sooo cute and bedazzled <3 i just need to get the other 4 ponies from mcdonalds.....

Man today was not as productive as I'd hoped!
Spackle takes so much longer to dry than I thought, and so does gesso uggghhhh. <m>
So basically all I got done today was applying spackle to my axe bass and Tavros horns, and right now I'm waiting for the gesso on the first side of the horns to dry. :c
I did manage to get shoes and pants for Eridan, though. But I couldn't find a plain long sleeved black shirt so I'll have to try other stores/do some thrift store shopping for that. You'd think that'd be super easy to find but nuuuuu orz

Progress on the Nurse Joy wig commission I'm doing. The bangs are done.

Now to work on Ches again~

So, I've got everything I need to revamp Sailor Neptune, except the make-up. I can worry about that later.
As for the others that I'm planning on doing, I'll need to wait until I get my financial aid processed, then I'll have a great idea on how much success I'll have. I think I have a ranking for them: Lina Inverse, Liechtenstein, Mamoru, Pinkie Pie, Toof. Scotland and the Secret Cosplay are already being focused on, so no worries there.

im sad becuse i had to redo ciel ball gown i lost alot of weight i went from an size 18 dress to a size 16 =.=

UGH
My progress has reached a MAJOR snag
so I've been working on Eridan and I went to start painting the stripes on the pants only to realize, as soon as I started, that they were the wrong color. orz
Like, it looked PERFECT on the color tab, but as soon as I actually used it I realized it was way off.
So I was wondering if anyone knew of a fabric paint, like had experience with it, that painted on the same shade of blue as on his pants:
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110430014360/mspaintadventures/images/thumb/5/57/ERIDANSLUSUS.gif/534px-ERIDANSLUSUS.gif
Or at least a very similar shade? ;w;
I'm kinda freaking out here omfg I really wanted to get him done by Sakuracon and these pants are turning out to be a HUGE snag. orz
So help would be kfjdl;skfs SO AMAZING.
-
i dunno if you have access to acrylic paint, but i've found that you can use that to modify the color of fabric paint (tulip brand, at least) with no real difference in how well the fabric paint holds. you may have to mess around with combinations a bit to get it the right color, but it's helped me out of snags like that several times before. hope that helps?
-
Ohhh really? Gosh that could be way super helpful actually... Thank you!! <3
-
So I went and got everything I need to finish my cosplays for Sak! I'm going to work on finishing my gauntlet tonight and then work on the belt I'm making for Ches.
Also, I got fur trimming to use for my Matt coat and will work on that after con!
-
i'm glad that was helpful, jotaku!! i hope it works out for you and you can finish him in time for sakura-con.
i actually made some progress today, whoa!! that hasn't happened in...a while...
i made ms. paint's headscarf and a jade harley skirt for a friend, plus worked some more on another friend's neimi costume. really, at this point all i've got left are things i'm helping friends with.

I got the costume for Sakura when I was home on leave. I'm going to order the wig on my next paycheak with possibly my takagi fighter outfit, when she is in Rikas clothes.

I have to be working on a lot of small prop details (that add up fast) for Link for Sakuracon. Can I do it in such a short time considering I don't get paid until Monday and I leave for con day 0? Hopefully!
I might be able to start one of them later today. Hopefully two.
-
I made a bit more progress on Pinkie Pie's skirt today and I also found the perfect bracelet to wear with it.
-
My gloves hadn't been worked on yet, because the person wanted to measure how the gloves measured on my arms (especially since the material is kinda stretchy). I've been measured. (I can't believe how big my arms still arm...). I should definitely have my gloves by Sakuracon!

That is true, but it's very close to my house so I still going to check them out.
I am sorry, mine is too but luckily I have my mom's that I can use
-
Wrath, you can try looking through "wigfashion" seller on eBay. Or "lhjun2010". They're both sellers I buy from regularily, they've got pretty good prices and I'm always pleased with their wig quality.
Also about the tangling, and friend of mine told me you can spray a silicone lubricant on it to help (seen in this tutorial -> http://mooglegurl.deviantart.com/art/How-to-De-tangle-and-Re-curl-a-Heat-Resistant-Wig-287340565 (http://mooglegurl.deviantart.com/art/How-to-De-tangle-and-Re-curl-a-Heat-Resistant-Wig-287340565))

Got myself a new wig for Aya Brea (Parasite Eve 1) and gonna use the old blonde wig to make my brother's Masaomi's wig. I will also soon order another red wig for my Karin cosplay since the one I ordered before started losing strands rapidly as though it were experiencing symptoms of cancer or something... -__-; Gah.

I started working on my scales for Darc from Arc the Lad. They still need work but I was excited to see what they looked like on my arm. They are put on very quickly here but you get the idea.

Finally settled on a design for my Fem!Heavy cosplay ^w^ I'm hella happy now
Ima gonna be on the Blue team too lol and my boyfriend is super mad about it. He called me a traitor lol I love it. Goin thrift store huntin right now to find some of the things I need, like a underbreast black waistcoat, and a plain blue long v neck shirt. If I find a dress that's perfect, I may alter it.
Still gotta start on my Cubchoo gijinka, but that'll be fairly easy. Mostly just pajamas for that one.
I'm super happy though ^w^ also bought my badge this morning.

okay just got a base for my pigtails and I curled them and burnt my fingers

Gonna use resin for the first time tonight. I have to say I'm more nervous then a lobster in a seafood restaurant. Send your good resin vibes my way. :o

Alright people, my fem!heavy cosplay is officially done lol
Found everything I needed, now all that's left is to make props ^-^ and ima wait to make those so that I dun lose them lol

Make Sasha, she would be hard to loose. :) Need pics of your finished product.

I dun have enough money (or skill lol) to make Sasha.
I'm gonna make the hat, a sandvitch, and the chocolate bar as my props.
And I actually just decided to use a different shirt for it. I bought a dress that I planned on altering, but I wore it yesterday to see how it felt and I love it too much to alter it lol
So as soon as that shirt I ordered gets here, ill take some pics. But here's a look at the design I settled on :

Yesterday I bought the last of the makeup I needed (2 things of blush and 2 more colors of lip balm), as well as REAL eyeshadow that won't irritate my eyes. Incase I want it.
I also finished up the Mirror Shield, Razor Sword, Majora's Mask and the Bunny Hood. I'm gonna have so much stuff packed onto my head, I'm tempted to just have the bunny hood or something attached to my belt or something @.@ I didn't get a chance to make something for the sword so it can go on my belt, but I did have time to make an elastic loop for the shield so I can A) hang it on my wall and, B) attach it to my belt at con potentially.
All I have left to do is see if the sword needs another coat of varnish, pack up every thing, and trim the bangs for Ciel. I might not do the bang trimming until late tonight when everything else is packed and out of my way.

i am DONE!! finished my last little details for sakura-con last night. and i also bought shoes for ms. paint, so all i need for wonder northwest is a skirt, sash and my prop.

Sak next year for sure!! ok so I got out all my stuff to start using resin for the first time then realized that I didn't have a respirator. So with sad heart I had to put everything back and wait till this weekend when I can go to home depot and get one. :-[
Last week I make a rainbow tutu for the rave then realized that I didn't like it on me. So either scrap it or put it up for adoption. ;D
Will make my rave skirt out of a silky/satin material instead of tulle. Big mistake i put it on and was reminded of the planet Saturn during gay pride week ::)
-
Assuming that my gloves are done, I'm almost completely ready to bring Sailor Mantune back, except for the Special Part... ;D I should be good enough for Sakuracon, though.
-
A while back I posted something about a sewing machine and me making my costumes for this year...
That plan went down the drain.
Turns out I'm probably just going to buy my costumes and have a costume tailor-made.
It works out better for my schedule.
But since starting work, I found these awesome shoes that are so comfortable, they are work boots but I think they'd suffice for my Tamaki cosplay. I have two pairs, one is still not out of its box.
But once I have enough money, I will buy most things I need in June. Or next month, depending on what my budget looks like. So far, I have enough to buy my material, but I need to find a tailor who would be willing, once I know the exact size I will be for con.
First thing I will order next month though, is my wig for Tamaki. Just waiting to be paid...
-
I had completely forgotten that I purchased one of those belly flattener things that also helps shape the hips. It doesn't do ALL that the Special Part does, but it's good enough for this costume. Now I just need to figure out make-up, kill my unibrow, make sure my seamstress finishes my gloves, then I'm going to be ready for Seattle.
-
Went shopping today at Sally's for a school-spirit-thing next week, and I ended up finding a dress that reminded me of Nyotalia!Romano's outfit. So I bought it :) of course. Might replace Ukraine with her now.

Gonna take all week to put on all the layers of resin I want to put on my helmet. Never reallized how long this stuff takes to fully harden. I'm glad I started this as early as I did. :) No longer a resin virgin.

Wow I have way to many posts on here.
I used some resin last night for the first time and I was worried cause everyone said how bad the fumes were and that it needed to be in a well ventilated space and to use all this caution. BUT the stuff that I used last night didn't have even a slight odor. Did I use the right stuff?

I just made a ton of cosplay progress, by choosing not to cosplay something! I had been on the fence, feeling reeeally apprehensive about cosplaying Steiner from FFIX. Finally, I realized it is just not the right time for it, and I dropped it. Feeling much better now. I've decided to cosplay Ward from FFVIII instead, and I'm stoked to be doing that one.
I haven't started anything yet, but making that decision has already put me miles ahead of where I was.

Alright, so it's been a short while since I've posted and unfortunately Tira had to be dropped for wig complications, BUT, she will be started next year.
But keeping up to date this year, I've finished my Other Mother cosplay from Coraline, I just need to sew the bag and make the belts for Ramona from Scott Pilgrim, I have all the fabric I need for Sailor Moon's outfit I just need to sew it all, order the wig and make the little prop-y things she has everywhere. And Heather from Silent Hill 3.....I haven't started on at all. x D
But I am making some major progress on everything, I'm making my Tiara and moon's on my Sailor Moon outfit all out of .005" Brass sheets, so I'm excited they will actually be metal! :'D
Anywho, I've made it pretty far on cosplays. I hope I can get the rest done by Wonder NW~
EDIT: Oh! And I may possibly bring Flame Princess from Adventure time~!

I haven't done much at all, I haven't had much time.
But this week I plan to finish Stocking's dress, I have all the pieces cut, they just need to be sewn together. I finished the bow for her hair and need to do the one for the dress. I'm going to search for some stockings for her and if I have no luck, I'll just have to make them d:

OK so last night I started making my Hat for my secret cosplay and afterward while laying in bed trying to figure out the steps in my head I came to the conclusion that it was going to suck making this hat. However, much to my suprise, I found a straw hat online this morning for only $5 that is the exact same shape as the hat that I'm making. So I thought why am I spending so much time trying to shape a large hat out of craft foam? I ordered the straw hat, gonna resin it then paint it. Tada!!!!!

Combing out my Russia wig since I've decided to bring him along again this year.
-
i've mostly been planning stuff, since as of sakura-con i'm pretty broke. but i know at least two of my costumes for kumoricon (may do i third if time/money permit, who the heck knows) and i've got a pretty good plan for getting stuff done.
after the fiasco that was last year's attempt to make a leotard (my lack of sewing ability + difficult old machine = a hot mess), this year for mars i'm just going to buy one and modify it, so that should come together pretty quick. and i've already got a lot of the stuff i need to get started on the disciple (who i've swapped out dolorosa for) so i can get working on her, too.

OK so I ordered my straw hat and was very excited about it. However, it just arrived and it's not even the one I ordered. :-[

OK since I can't keep my mouth shut a few people know what my secret cosplay is. So I figured I would reveal it. I decided to cosplay Desert Punk because he is the worst kind of human being I've ever seen in an anime, and his outfit is so different. Can't wait till this starts coming together and I can get some pictures.
Vash 100% (recycled)
Wolfwood 100% (recycled)
Fem Engineer 80%
Desert Punk 20%
Still need to find a Tac Vest and some matching clothes for Desert Punk. Got the materials for everything else. Resin takes a long time to work with. ;D
Fem Engineer outfit is done. Need to find tool box, tool belt, and make a large wrench. Probably out of foam.

Sailor Jupiter is here and there are a few things I need to fix and buy for it.

My little brother ordered his Masaomi wig :)
I'll be getting Anri in a couple months when I get back to job corps:)

My wig for Willy Wonka came today!

It needs to be cut and styled a little more, but I love it!

Now I'm questioning whether or not to go as Ringo from Okamisan and Her Seven Companians. I have a left over costume that fits it perfectly and I doubt I'd have to get a wig since she has red hair and I've got strawberry blonde. Descions descions, any opinions? Also would anyone who has bought something off of Milanoo give me some reviews? I was looking at some things on it but need some more reviews and whatnot, it would be really helpful.

I believe it might be XD and it fits very well :D

Have you started looking for shoe options? (I'm planning on looking here soon-ish, since the color I need is a "Springtime special color" or some crap like that...)

I am actually buying the shoes next month I found a nice pair it's not cheap but it's worth it they look like the real thing.

they say neptune pumps are currently unavalible though

I've actually contacted them via email they do have them. {Ganna buy from these same people when the time comes} Theyre not exactly the ones shown because they changed the paint formula and the color to better match her Teal. just email them saying your interested in Neptune heels and she'll ask you to sewnd your shoe size and they'll send you an invoice. ^^

It could've been. We think Chan got hers from the same place, too, but doesn't remember because of how long ago it was.

I think I'll do that. I'm also going to look up shoes/boots for other cosplay goals, too. Thanks, Jacob!

Well, it looks like that site has nothing for any future cosplays I'm looking at, but I'll bookmark them for some of their other stuff, and the Neptune shoes, just in case.

alright sounds like a good plan.

I'm saving up for Anri's cosplay :D
Going to order the costume before the wig :)

Started painting my Desert Punk respirator last night. Tonight I see if I can drill through my face plate without shattering the acrylic. Got a large piece of scrap that was cut out of the back side of my helmet that I will try out first tonight. If I can get through it without cracking it then I'm good to go for drilling in the real thing. Wish me luck.

@Washougal:
No problem~ Not too many people know her, I suppose. There are like...6-sih Silent Hill games (something like that).

These are the plats that will come off the base. I laced them together. I still need to sand the top one a bit more. Its a little too uneven for my tase

This is the base of the helmet. I used paper mache then put bondo over the top. I'm starting to like bondo a lot. Its a little difficult to sand but it builds up very easily. And dries faster than resin.
You can see more progress here https://www.facebook.com/Nikkiolie

Got the dress for the Aipom gijinka, now all I need is purple leggings, shoes, a wig, and start making the ears and tail which sould take me awhile.

Soooo, I finally got some stuff for my Silver cosplay. After going to the thrift store many a times I go with my Gold and we find both of the bases of our jackets.
I sewed on the cuffs, annnnd I'm feeling pretty good.
Now to get the pocket sewed on... And the triming/fabric paint on... Find pants, boots, and a wig.
Oh boooy.

Not happy with the resin work I did...it's all bumpy and crappy looking. After I got it on the faceplate I realized that it is also much bigger then it should be.
Gonna start working on the hat tonight. Cover it with Mod podge so I can cut it a bit without unraveling. cut the brim and insert a flap of foam. Resin and bondo perhaps.

Looks like it needs more sanding. I mean you really need to sand that stuff. Though now I have learned the wonders of bondo. It goes on like spackel but sands really well.

Yeah Nikkiolie, I was thinking of sanding off the paint and using some bondo on it. But I was thinking I made this thing way to big for the helmet. :P Here is another angle of the faceplate...see a bit too big right?

pretty much finished with my jane crocker cosplay for wonder northwest. i did the shirt yesterday and bought a skirt on friday, now i just need to buy the wig and make the prop. i know what wig i'm buying and i'll probably do that on friday this week. i just need to hit up dollar tree sometime to get a spoon for her spoonkind. i'll probably be done before may starts.
i also decided to switch from sailor mars to sailor uranus at kumoricon this year. i already have almost everything i need for uranus from my failed attempt last year, so it's a lot less work and money.

Oh gosh I haven't posted on here in forever, but I'm going to Fanime in about a month so I have a ton of progress to share!

I'm just waiting for the boots and wig in the mail. I think I'm also going to make my own belt-thing since the only brown belt I have is too tight since it's meant to go around my waist, not my hips.
I'm really proud of that green shirt. You can't see it too well in the picture, but the pockets are a darker color than the rest of the shirt. I bought a green shirt a Walmart, dyed the whole thing, and then had to take the pockets off and dye them an even darker color before sewing them back on. I also had to make pockets for the sleeves and hem the whole thing because it was too long.
I ordered a custom-made costume online for the first time, because I'm doing a K-ON group and we all want to match! I'm being Ritsu for the group, and was pleasantly surprised with how the costume turned out!

Another costume I'm excited for is Mrs. Toad from Thumbelina! My roommate already has a completed Thumbelina costume, so I'm going to be her sassy toad~ Today I finished the bodice, and then I need to make the skirt and sew on her blue circles all over it.

Kind of iffy, the bangs look so unnatural its a bit awkward. I like how she did the bulge in the back, creative but it seems a bit messy.
Now I have an actual update!
Picked up fur for Spiffy's Tyleet boots and possibly my Ember's. Depending on what outfit I'm doing. Picked up Ember's feathers and string ties, also picked up patterns for our outfits. I'll put together Ember's strings tonight and set them aside for later, hopefully next month I'll be able to pick up the fabric for our costumes. I'll also need more fur...
I was sad that Jo-ann's didn't have light tan fur, only dark brown. Meh, it still works.
Sewing machine comes this week, tomorrow or friday.

About the Toph wig, I think it's good. It's probably the best way to do the poof. For the bangs, I suggest cutting them (defiantly shorter than the tutorial) and just put mouse in it.

Thus far how the feather ties are doing. I'm running out of like tan feathers, so I'm going to use some of the other browns I have.
They are a little difficult to sew into the strings but they look pretty good so far.

Oh mai goose I havent posted in a while.... XD
So.. I changed meh line up. Again. Due to money issues... So. I am still doing Jareth.
BUT. I'm going to be Zombie!Marluxia for Day 1 of the con. I've been getting more into Makeup and stuff so I'm excited to do this.. So here is my first attempt at the makeup. (Sorry for the poor photoshop of the eyes. XP And the lighting in my bathroom isnt the best...). I know the mistakes and what not and I am improving slowly and trying different techniques and blending:

Put down a layer resin on the inside of my Desert Punk hat (2 layers on the outside and 1 on the inside)...went to home depot and bought some bondo for tomorrow night. I don't think Home Depot is use to girls coming in with their big red hair covered in flowers. I got some stutters out of the guy that pointed to where the bondo was located.
I need to clean up my work space so I can get even more projects done. Need to start Desert Punks backpack with cooling unit and rocket wench...that should be fun. Time to break out the PVC pipes.
Update: Holy moly.....If you ever work with polystyrene foam or Styrofoam get a Hot Wire....I freakin love mine. Did some shaping of my sister Marluxia scythe last night and it works amazingly good. No blue smurf dust flying around the air, nice clean cuts, and quick!!!

^^Safty note: Bondo is definately an outdoor project... :o ::)

yes it most certainly is

Put down a thick layer on my Desert Punk hat and O BOY!! high time. ::) now it's ready for a bit of sanding, but I think i will have to wait until I get an outdoor place to do that...maybe Memorial day weekend at my mom's house. She has an empty lot next to her house that is begging for some outdoor sanding.

I'm revamping my Steampunk Cheshire Cat outfit. Changing the spine/tail to be smaller and studier.
Also, going to be weather Gibbs' clothing this weekend.
I might get the fabric I need to Ice King as well.

Finally got a sewing machine a few days ago so I can start on my dress.
I picked up a basket with a handle and my friend and I are gonna fill it with fake tomatoes (because my character loves them). So, about 5% done with my outfit ^^;;

I've decided that I'm going to try and get together a J cosplay (from Heat Guy J). It'll be interesting to see if I can pull it off in time. Thankfully the most complicated part of the outfit is probably going to be the wig, and that shouldn't be too hard...
But with Star Wars Celebration VI coming up I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get it finished in time. If not, I'll wear it next year, and I'll probably just end up wearing one of my Jedi Knight outfits to the convention instead. Decked out with a few anime things...
-
I decided I'm adding Yoko to my list. (^3^)/ Gonna pick up the materials for her tomorrow. Also going to start a couple lolita inspired dresses.
I'm going to probably drop Len from my con list. I'm adding Rose Lalonde to, probably just God Tier...
But I'm mostly going to work on Yoko's first outfit, since I already have a suitable wig for her :d and I fixed my sewing machine XD
This weekend I'mma finish all of Yoko (except her boots) and redo my Stocking dress (since I messed it up big time) then maybe start casual Mio... O_O

I see... recommendation? I would recommend poplar for the wood. It's light, cheap, and fairly strong, especially for as being as light as it is.

Rose, the hot wires are sold at most craft stores. I got mine at JoAnn's for about $20

I got my Hot Wire at Michaels but Jo Anns sells them too. The sell for about $20. Don't get the wand tho the cuts are really crappy. Get the one with the really thin wire that is stretched between two points. The cut is much nicer.
This website sells really nice sets if you make a lot of props check them out.

I've been sewing for the passed two days!
I finished my fur boots and.... OMAGAD!
They are so comfortable! I need to go to the store and buy some stuffing and make a layer of padding, I'm trying to see how it feels with just a pair of flats in them, but it just seems off, its not as comfortable. I need to buy more tie strings because I ended up making a dress for my OC elf, I'll bring that to Con just in case but I have to finish it first. I'll need to pick up more feathers for her boots if I do bring her.
I'll need to order my elf ears later this month or next month. Then Tamaki's wig will be next, then the rest of Ember's stuff.

I'm actually not planning on painting myself green for several reasons, but mostly because it looks kind of odd when people do body paint for Mrs. Toad because her face is a frog's face, and their faces aren't. It just looks off? Also Fanime is super hot, so I'd have to buy various sealants and such on top of green body paint in order to keep from sweating it off which would be expensive and getting it off is a hassle.
For her makeup I'm doing ridiculous bright blue eyeshadow that covers my entire eyelid all the way to my eyebrows, plus heavy eyeliner and giant eyelashes. And then I have a bright pink lipstick that's matte and stays on well which I'm caking on. Basically something like this (http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/399632_2918188641139_1453449591_2800485_191041864_n.jpg) but a little cleaner haha. This was a test right after I saw the movie; I have better eyeshadow now.
Also, I got my shoes today in the mail!

It don't look big in the picture but this stuff is 8feet long and costs $19 Not all lowes caries it so call ahead before you go.
Also if you funds are scarce there is another insulating foam at lowes that has plastic coating on both sides that comes in many different sizes and thickness that is white. If you peel off the plastic coating that stuff works good too.

Desert Punk hat is going really slow. Gonna put down some more resin on it today, also gonna put down the mirror tinting on the helmet faceplate and attach the tubing that will go to the cooling unit on the backpack. Puting down the first layer of resin on my sister's Marluxia scythe. That beast is looking epic! Happy 18th birthday Stephanie. It's her present, but her Bday isn't until Sept 23rd but oh well I jumped the gun.

A family of ponies... a herd. XD If you succeed, I assume you'll post picks, right?
On a personal note, since I'm going to be a father, I'm not sure if I will be financially able to do any of the new cosplay ideas I said I was looking at doing. :'(

First, my updated pinup Engineer. I fixed up the shirt, got new socks and boots, and got a wig since my hair isn't the right style anymore. This costume is surprisingly comfy, I love it a lot!
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsphotos.xx.fbcdn.net%2Fhphotos-ash3%2F525058_434542419889915_391740510836773_1674102_714624516_n.jpg&hash=09fdb5d4161692e0a8012a5202be74e77e15627c)
Second, Yukiteru Amano from Mirai Nikki! This is the first time I've ever crossplayed, and I was really scared about it, but I'm actually pretty happy with it! I'm glad I picked this outfit because the green shirt hides the curve of my waist and hips (I have a 12-inch difference between them). So, in total I:
-Completely modified the green shirt. Hemmed it a good 6 inches or so, dyed it, and then took the pockets off, dyed them even darker, and sewed them back on, and made the pockets on the sleeves.
-Cut the wig, the back was already pre-styled thankfully haha.
-Completely modified the gun! I bought a toy one off Amazon, but when it arrived I realized it was completely inaccurate and WAY too small, so I bought a police officer toy set from the dollar store which came with a bright orange gun. My friend helped me saw out the middle of the nose of the gun, then glue the tip back on, and then we spray painted the entire thing a metallic black.
The white shirt is from Walmart, the shorts are from Goodwill, the socks are from Ross or something, and then the boots were custom-made from a shop on Taobao.

And then finally, Ritsu from K-ON! I bought the costume from a shop on Taobao, and the same with the wig, but I had to style the wig myself. I'm really awful with wigs, but I'm happy with how it turned out! I just alternated between hairspraying and blowdrying the bangs back, and then put them in a rubber band under the headband.
So much progress! I'm happy, I only need to finish two costumes by next week when we leave for San Jose!

@Cyber That looks great!! I love the material you used! It really fits! (=
I'm still only in the planning process of my costumes but my line-up looks like it might be Pinkie Pie, Cardcaptor Sakura (3rd op), and Mami/Madoka/Homura (I haven't decided yet. xP).
I did make some progress on my Rapunzel but she probably won't be used for a while.

Woo! I organized all of my sewing stuff over the weekend, and FINALLY got around to sorting all of the stuff I still had out from doing LAST YEAR'S cosplay. lol Also, I found pretty much all of the stuff I'm going to need for cosplay this year and I've ordered almost everything that needs to be ordered. Just need to order 2-3 more wigs and white mascara. :3 However, I've added cute-girl version of Luigi recently, and I have nothing for her. My friend is going to be my Mario, and we're also going to be cosplaying with our boyfriends as regular Mario and Luigi. :3 If you're interested in the art, it is an original design by The Gorgonist, aka Robin Kaplan. She regularly has a booth in the artist's alley of both Kumoricon and Sakuracon. :D

My Poison Ivy wig!

Very nice! Do you what sort of outfit you'll be wearing with it? How much progress have you made on that?
Thank you! Yes I do. I'm taking an outfit and coating it in ivy leaves, basically. I've almost finished the bottoms but I ran out of fake leaves :) I'm still waiting for the corset and tights to get here. Did you have any suggestions?
Well, I guess the closest thing to a suggestion that I'd have is to have some sort of vine wrapped around your legs, or at least one of them. Personally, I think it makes a better Poison Ivy to have something on the legs rather than just tights; gives the upper body's connection to "Mother Earth" a little more validity, I guess... not sure if I like the way that came out, but it's to that effect.

TT^TT I haven't been able to sew anything... I fractured my shoulder and elbow on monday in a bike accident :c
Once I'm healed up though, I'll be finishing up Yoko and working on a new Stocking outfit, I think I'm going to switch to her angel one instead of her normal dress, but IDK.
I have all the material for Yoko's outfit except the clasp for her belt and the studs and her boots and gun. Hopefully during the summer I can figure that all out though.

I did a make-up test for Darc today. I need to paint the scales the proper color and paint the ears still. I will also use latex to blend all the scales better when I wear the costume. But here are a few shots.

I applied to work for Funimation in order to go to AX, and they saw I cosplayed Stocking and requested I work in their official Panty & Stocking AX event! The only thing is that I need to have her default outfit mostly done by next week ;_;
I bought fabric today and things are going surprisingly well! Right now I have the main pieces of the two sleeves and the bodice, but those three pieces aren't sewn together yet.

Tomorrow my plan is to sew the sleeves onto the bodice and then work on the skirt. I also have the bib from an old lolita blouse that's falling apart that I'm going to sew onto the top of the bodice, so it'll look like I'm wearing a nice blouse under the dress but I don't need to actually make one haha.
Also for the socks I decided to buy a pair of Sock Dreams' Extraordinary Striped Thigh-Highs in blackxwhite and then just dye them with blue dye since they're mostly cotton and I don't feel like making my own pair of socks like I did with Stocking's sailor outfit.
Also I should order my new wig soon...
Sometimes I forget how expensive making a whole costume is. Good thing this is the only thing I need to make for this con!

Poison Ivy progress. These aren’t the real shorts, I used these because the real ones are about half covered in leaves. I’m going to cover the corset in leaves.

I bought fabric for Serenity today. I've already finished her base dress (pics tomorrow) but I'm not liking the fit of the dress. Mostly because the fabric is shear (note: needs to make slip.)

I'd just build a corset into it. Solve the tummy problem AND it'll stay up easier (since it's strapless).

I have yet to add the trim on the top or to hem the skirt. I'm also thinking of making a slip to go under the dress to make it less sheer (this is where not lining a dress comes and bites me in the butt.) and to add poof to the skirt (with tulle).
@Bunny_Jean: I might do that or i might just wear a corset under the dress. (since the dress isn't lined I don't want the boning to show through or look awkward.)

@ichigo_m: I dunno. It could be elegant (like a corseted wedding dress) to build a corset in, but it might be more work since you have it mostly put together by now. I'd wear a corset underneath though. It's looking good! I would put more volume in the bottom of the mermaid skirt though.

Use Motions Oil Sheen (http://www.sallybeauty.com/Oil-Sheen-Spray/SBS-126009,default,pd.html?cm_vc=SEARCH) on it! It'll help keep your wig from tangling horribly, and it smells nice to boot~

These are my gold/orange ones I'm using for Death the Kid mainly. I might get yellower ones for him later, but I still love these.
I also got red ones and white ones.

My Fluttershy wig came in! It's great. I don't think it's dark pink enough for Reira, but thats OK. Reira is only for the ball anyways.

Cool! I'll be the girl that looks like she's made of sparkly cotton candy and pearls. ;D

Luckily I've got nearly everything done!
After dropping and adding different cosplays I think I'm nearly set!
I got Death the Kid(standard outfit) completely finished except for rings, which I probably won't do(due to having a phobia of rings and not being able to find or make them). I just need a Liz cosplayer and a Patty cosplayer. ;A;
With Ronald Knox I've had everything finished with him for a LONG time, I'll just have to get my hair recut and dyed before K-con again. I could also use new shoes.. like really badly.. Mine are falling apart... Perscription glasses would also be nice for Ronnie. If I don't get those, then I'll just walk around with everything fuzzy with my fake glasses on. XD (At least I only have a .5 to 1 perscription.)
I found pants finally that will do fine enough for Ciel, so I could always use new shoes for him, but other than that, I've got enough to do an okay Ciel(I'm only cosplaying him for my sister who promised to buy me a wig for Ciel if I cosplayed him at least once while she's Sebastian. XD)
If I was going to do Shinra Kishitani, I've got all I need for him, but I don't think I'll be doing Shinra this year.
And what I'm pretty excited about is a Formal Death the Kid outfit I'm going to do for the Kumoricon Ball this year. I've got black silk pants, a silky white shirt with fancy beading and threading designs on it, I'm going to see about wearing my long black blazer for that and buying either a dark red, silver or even black bowtie(not sure yet) or if not a bowtie, then a short red ruffly scarf(almost like the one he wears in the Book of Eibon, except mine would be red).
And I need some fancy shoes also and I was thinking of buying a fake black rose to top the outfit off. ><!! Should be fun!!
Still not sure what days I'm doing them all on, but I have four cosplays(... I think) and four days. I can always switch into a different cosplay in the same day also since this year I'll be staying at the hotel!!!! :o :o
I can't wait to see everyone's cosplays this year!! :D ;D

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I am probably going to post this everywhere because the costume is coming along quite nicely. Here is my latest progress shot of Darc. I don't have any scales on or my skin isn't dark enough. I just wanted to see what it looked like with the armor, wig and skirt thing on.

I'm trying to decide on a wig for Mami (http://cosplayisland.com/files/costumes/4121/39764/Mami_Tomoe_Anime_Design.jpg (http://cosplayisland.com/files/costumes/4121/39764/Mami_Tomoe_Anime_Design.jpg))
I have 4 options right now.
Option 1 - I like this one because of the color and the more natural pigtails/curls: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Tomoe-Mami-Golden-Cosplay-Costume-Wig-/170809186539?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c50558eb#ht_1463wt_1094 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Tomoe-Mami-Golden-Cosplay-Costume-Wig-/170809186539?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27c50558eb#ht_1463wt_1094)
Option 2 - This one is overall more accurate but less natural: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-Tomoe-Mami-Styled-Tails-Golden-Cosplay-Hair-Full-Wig-/261048037027?pt=US_CSA_MWA_Wigs_Extensions&hash=item3cc7aceea3#ht_10006wt_1325
Option 3 - Another natural one but in a darker color: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Puella-Magi-Madoka-Magica-tomoe-mami-cosplay-wig-/261041817676?pt=US_Costume_Accessories&hash=item3cc74e084c#ht_2757wt_1094
Option 4 - I could style a wig myself. I'm not so sure on the quality of those 2 other wigs, but I'm familiar with Arda wigs: http://arda-wigs.com/collections/chibi
Thoughts, Ideas, Suggestions? (=
-
I like the third one, personally. But it all depends on if you want to be more cartoony or realistic, either one can look good.
-
I think #3 is the best option, personally.
-
Yeah, I like option 3 because the pigtails have bigger curls
-
i actually really like the first one, largely because of the color. but i think the third looks good too.
-
Option one looks more like her hair style. Her curls are small and a little loose, and the first option looks just about spot on. I dun think the bigger curls would work, they look too dramatic.

Oh man, I feel like I haven't posted in ages!!!
Anywho I have my corset for Zatanna and have the commission for the jacket all figure out, so I'm about 75% done. Also on a whim ordered a linen yoga get-up that I can alter to an Air Acolyte uniform for my Jinora cosplay. There's a good chance I won't have that worked out until Akicon.
I'm so relieve I got the corset fixed though... the first one (despite being my size in the description) ended up gaping even when fully tightened, so I ordered a smaller size which fits wonderfully! I was home alone when I got it, so I couldn't actually cinch in the waist like I would normally, but even as is I'm pretty pleased with the way it looks!

I'm going to try and take Chan and a friend of ours to the Spencer's at the Vancouver Mall soon. I think I've found some stuff that'd work for a Male Raver Pinkie Pie, but I wanted some insights.

Oy vey.... I haven't seen any new anime that "inspires" me to make a new cosplay, so instead I've been sewing home decoration (curtains, re-upholstering the couch) instead.
I might just do Sophia from "Last Exile - Fam" (this is her "newer"/"captain" outfit rather than her "2nd mate" outfit from first Last Exile series). OR, I may do the main character from Moretzu Pirates...or a Lolita. Decisions, decisions... bah, we've got more than a month - PLENTY of time.

Ordered my lab coat and gloves for GLaDOS. When they come in, the only thing left will be to mod the coat (painting "Aperature" and the logo on the back) and find a black shirt to wear under it. She's almost done 8D
-
Ordered my Japan wig + costume, once I get those, all I have to do is get some gloves, shoes, and a nice wooden katana.

Gonna be starting on my Ward Zabac any day now.

Trying to remember what that spray foam is that you can spray then sculpt, because I want to make the harpoon out of that.

Super excited! I got pretty much all my cosplays done, I just have to figure out if I want a new, smaller blazer for Death the Kid and I need new pants. XD I totally forgot about that until yesterday.
Ciel's good enough to be counted as finished since i'm just doing him for Day 0 with my sister as Sebastian.
Ronald Knox is finally done since I FINALLY got new shoes for him!
I got four pairs of shoes from Value Village for 23$ so I'm pretty happy!
I'm not cosplaying these two, but I told my older sis and my best friend if they'll cosplay Liz and Patty Thompson for me, I'll buy them the outfit. =) My older sis bought me my Ciel wig under the condition that I have to cosplay him for at least a bit. I bought the outfit for Ciel, so I bought her a wig for Liz and she bought the outfit.
But for my best friend, I bought her the wig, shirt, and shorts(and we find all the clothes for our cosplays from thrift stores pretty much) and boots.
Once the wigs come(they shipped out the same day I ordered them, so hopefully they'll be here next week), we're going EVERYWHERE as Kid, Liz, and Patty!!
But what I came here to show everyone was that for the Kumoricon Ball, I made a Formal Death the Kid cosplay and I finished that, so here it is(Oh, and like all the animal enclosures in the back ground? LOL!):

Bought the mask at a store in the mall, the shirt, vest, and pants(Which you can't see, but they're silky, black, and shiny!) at Goodwill and shoes(also not shown) from Value Village.

I made this with sliky dark red fabric, black lace, metallic coloured Fimo for the Lord Death face, hot glue, and a couple pins. One to keep the Lord Death face on the scarf and one to keep the scarf on my shirt. I used hotglue to help get the ruffle effect I wanted since just using a gather stitch wasn't working for me.

aradiaaaaaa.
still a bit to go on her but i finished the horns, got the wig and started some preliminary makeup tests. i need to order better lipstick, and on sunday i'm getting the stuff for her shirt! i also made a whip since i love props so much. it was funny, when i first got the wig and stuff i was worrying about how young it made me look...and then i remembered she's like 13 so that's actually a good thing. whoops.
i've got her skirt and shoes and i have the socks although i need to paint stripes on them. so by next week all i'll need to worry about is grey makeup, and for that i'm still digging through recommendations to figure out which kind if want to use. i'm leaning towards kryolan right now??
-
Chibachi, you look so cute! : )
Sollux wig is styled, and my horns are attached! You can't even tell how, too, it's great! I used two inch thick insulation sheeting on the inside, with those blue screw caps inside the foam. The sanded that, glued the screw cap in, and covered them with model magic. Sanded, painted, and sealed! yay!

Wait Eveofabyss, are you seriously doing Ward!?! you make me so happy.
-
Yup. It should be a fun, albeit moderately obscure, one.

Finally purchased the skirt, shirt, and scarf for my Aipom cosplay. Now all I need are the ears, tail, shoes, and wig.
-
Haru: Got the dress shirt, shoes, and wig~ looking for the tie, pants, and blazer!
Miku: Just need the wig, I'm borrowing from a friend (:
Haruhi: The outfit is on its way!
But I also need to go makeup shopping~
-
ok, see now I wanna see if I can bust out a laguna costume in time....

My wig for my Jinora (Avatar: Legend of Korra) came in today!!! It's a tad darker than I thought it'd be, but I'm absolutely in love wit hthe cut and the bun attachment, so I'm alright with this. I just need to style the bangs, and fix the hair so it scoops into my face more. I likely won't have the outfit done until Akicon since I work slowly, but once I have it I'll likely be wearing it to multiple cons in the future. I'm so stoked to finally do an Avatar related cosplay! =D

Well, after not sewing for a while I sewed some stuff today. In the process of doing the bustle/butt-bow for Kuranosuke, hopefully I'll have that done sometime soon. I'll post pics once it's done. I made the necklace I'm going to wear also, so I'll post that when I finish the bustle. Still need to make the rest of the accessories and matching bloomers so I'm not flashing everyone all the time, But Kuranosuke is almost done!
Also, washed the fabric for my secret cosplay, hopefully this weekend I'll be able to dye it. :3

10th doctor cosplay is completely complete. I will have to take pictures at TnT to show you guys. Gokaiger cosplay is...95%? Need Mobirates (ugh, expensive), and to add a few more layers of gold paint to the jacket, but it is wearable now. Org!Riku is done. I'll be making myself a plushie heartless though, because the Keyblade is too big to fit in our luggage, and therefore cannot be taken on the plane >.<.

Getting my material list together for Ward's Harpoon.
I'm planning to get a PVC pipe, put expanding foam on it, which I will then sculpt before coating. The coating is where I am currently stuck. I already have Mod Podge, which I have used for coating craft foam in the past. Fiberglass resin has been suggested for coating also. Anyone have any advice on which direction I should go? Fiberglass resin or Mod Podge - whichever works better for coating expanding (insulation) foam.

[[The current details for my FEM! Scout cosplay]]
i finally got to buy a shirt and shorts (might wear a skirt incase the shorts don't work out well o_O; ) at Goodwill yesterday! I still need to buy shoes and stuff to make my headgear/earpiece. I want to make the earpiece out of one of my headphones and paper mache, then paint it. For my bat, i bought a regular plastic one for a quarter at a garage sale. Hopefully I'll be able to buy metallic spray paint for it.
[[Current details for my Maid! Konata cosplay]]
My dress arrived yesterday. When I put it on, it was about a size too small on me. If i can lose weight by Kumoricon, the cosplay will luckily work out. I also ordered my wig a week or two ago, so it should arrive next week.
Overall, progress is going well :D

Doing a last-minute Bane cosplay for the midnight showing of TDKR tomorrow. So, got a bunch of rubber sheeting for the base, and I just need to see if I can actually make this work. Won't be accurate by a long shot, but I'll get as close as I can with a day to do it.

speaking of pictures. Here is the first one after the first layer of paint. I don't think I need to sand anymore, I think it is pretty smooth and what little lumps it does have kinda looks like battle damage/hammer used to make the armor.

apparently, it's INSANE for people to change to a much HARDER cosplay in such short time-- not to mention most of it is armor and a good belly...

I'd be glad to join! C: I had seen the thread and made a post to sign up, but it was more of a maybe. I'm more positive about going now, luckily, so sign me up :3

I've finished Shizuo(just making some fake cigs), Romano, God Tier John, and Umbreon! I just need to order the harry potter glasses and sew fur onto Izaya's jacket..Over halfway done! like a boss
-
Update: so, since we didn't get there in time, Chan and I did other cosplay shoppings. For me, I got some shirts for dying for Pinkie Pie, and a casual-ish dress for Michiru.
-
Oh man, I wish I knew what size you were Wash. I found the most perfect dress for Michiru when I was in bend last time. I was gonna buy it for my friend to be Michiru, but she didn't like it lol
-
^ Thanks! It looks like I'm a 12, but I could see 14's working, too, maybe.
-
I wil keep an eye out for it! It may still be at goodwill lol I wouldn't doubt it.
-
Dude, that would be amazing! I could even wear it at the forum meet-up panel!
-
ordered wigs for femzee, jade, and kyoko. located the perfect wig for fionna...
finished the cake cape, and almost finished backpack for fionna...
may have found shorts that can work for both femzee and kyoko!

Got the tinting on my Desert Punk faceplate. I think it looks terrible cause I had to put film tinting on a very curved surface so it's not smooth. But from a distance it's not that bad. If I have enough time I'm gonna sand off the paint from the resirator and fill in all the dents with foam coat and repaint. I was in a bit of a hurry when I made that part I think. This cosplay still has a lot of work left to do. I just hope it gets done in time. The only problem with this thing is that it is very suffocating. I also think I need to dirll in some air holes around the top cause it fogs up a bit.

Alright! Progress time! Kuranosuke is 95% done. All I have to do is sew the last of the beading on and sew bloomers. I also got the contacts for my costumes! And I dyed the fabric for my secret cosplay. The first time it came out of the dryer it was too dark, so I did another short wash with some rit color remover and now it's perfect. <3 Here's pics of everything except the secret fabric:

Finally got to working on my earpiece. Last night, I paper mache'd part of a can, then painted most of it today. Later, I'm going to put another coat, then try to put it together with another headset I already have (if it doesn't work out, I'm going to go to another thrift store later this week or next week and find another one.)

@Ichigo- Your dress and shirt look amazing! 8D Congratulations on your progress!
@CLAP- :o Are you making the boots or are you making boot covers?
My progress- It wasn't so much my progress as it was my Demony, BUT I'm making the costumes so it was overall progress!
We went fabric shopping and got what we needed for her dress bodice. 8D I'm sooo excited!
-
I did a makeup test for Anti-Cosmo but none of the pics turned out well. At least I know what I'm doing. I painted my ears as well so they will match the color of my skin.
I need to go to Joann's sometime to get fabric for Iceking and blue dye for A-Cosmo. All of da blue things!!!

Oooooh I love the silver hair on her. I can't wait to see it!
Starting painting and constructing my bullets for my bandoleir (sp?) Yesterday. I decided to try using chalk sticks. They're the perfect size, and super thick so the paint hasn't really disformed them or anything. Once I get the finishing touches done on them, I'm going to glaze them with the glaze I use for my clay stuff. Hopefully that'll make them a little more plastic looking. (Of course ima try it out on the chalk first to make sure it doesn't eat away at it or something.)
Sasha is coming along nicely. I've got all the newspaper I need, I just need glue now. Then I can start paper mache, and then I can paint her.
My other cosplays are pretty much closet cosplays so I dun have to work on them as hard. I was thinking of changing my day two cosplay to a fem!joker, but now that I dun have any money, I'm thinking about doing that one for NewCon when ill have more money. So back to my pokemon trainer for day two lol which is coming along perfectly. Been making my pokeballs (crocheting them) and they're nice and easy to attach to my belt with velcro dots.
My panda cosplay is already done lol I own a panda costume so it looks out all nice and dandy there.
My secret cosplay has changed to be the same as my Ball cosplay, so its not really a secret anymore lol Ima be a Soot Sprite ^-^ from Spirited Away. I'm crocheting myself a star purse to put little tiny stars in (for the star marshmellow treats).
Lol I have a lot of crocheting to do in the next couple of weeks.
-
Its getting close to con and everyone's stuff is turning out great.
I should finish Darc by tomorrow and I am hoping to get at least a few shots of him. I'm so excited :3
-
Yesterday, I finished painting my bat for Scout!! Then, for a shiny, metal look, I lightly painted on glaze that I had for other projects. I thought it would ruin the paint, but it only made it look darker in some areas. It turned out very nice though!

-
got my grey makeup for gamzee!
now i just need to get the purple/white accents, and i'll be ready for a test!

makeup test for aradia! i think it went pretty well, i still want to mess around with the eye makeup a bit but this is basically how it'll look. this lipstick is the best thing ever.
i haven't been posting much but i've made a ton of progress - default rose lalonde is completely done, dude!jane crocker just needs a moustache and a fedora (and the fedora has shipped so i'll have that by next week). i'm waiting on tights for aradia so i can have grey legs/arms and i have some work to do on god tier jane - finish the tunic and make the hood, paint the shoes. i have to be done by mid-august but i think i'll be fine.

Secret cosplay for DemonSpawn is coming along, we did a fitting and make up test today~!
8D The final run should be started in a few days.
I get paid on the 31st, SO I'll be ordering contacts, a wig and possibly shoes if I can find some.

So many little things to do this weekend. I took the day off work yesterday (I got over a month vacation time saved up so I can spare a day) and did a bunch of sanding while my neighbors were at work so I wouldn't disturbe them too much.
Sanded my Pokeguns for my Ash/Vash, the large wrench for my Fem Engineer, sanded and re-resined my Desert Punk hat like 3 times yesterday. Still can't seem to get that sucker smooth.
The Marluxia Scythe that I'm making for my sister cracked so I put resin in the crack and let it heal, I'm gonna have to put more layers of resin around the cracked area so it don't happen again.
Gonna put down resin this morning on just about everything and let them rest in the corner to dry while I assemble another Soul Scythe that I was commissioned to make for Sak. The person I'm making it for wants to pick it up at Kumo.
Put the arm patches on my Fem Eng red shirt and fix the hard hat so it don't sit so low on my head, make my tool pouch, make my rave shirt look more ravish. So lots of things to do today.
Good luck everyone, your cosplays are looking fantastic!!

I FINALLY finished Mephisto's coat ! now i need to fix a cosplay & repaint the sword for Guy. Then work on a prop commission set for kcon @ u@;; then lastly work my butt off for a Last minute human ! Kyubey cosplay for Day 0.

those are really awesome but that might be considered live steel and they might not let you bring them into the con space. You should go out and buy plastic knives and paint them metallic silver as a back up.

Here's a photo of her socks (http://cosplayisland.com/files/costumes/4121/39764/Mami_Tomoe_Anime_Design.jpg) I'm not sure on what color to go with.
Either Maroon or Coffee: http://www.sockdreams.com/products/socks/thigh-highs/n40s
Which do you think?
-
I would say "coffee" myself.
-
@Ichigo- I say maroon judging by the ref pic.
Ordered my wig, and costacts! Looking for boots is hard in the middle of summer though. Just got paid! So off to get things for Izaya I shall! 8D Today will be a productive cosplay day! I will keep the thread informed!
-
just got the last supplies for my Kyubey cosplay 1 will start on the ears and tail sooon.
also ordered the pullover for it ' ~~~
@ichigo - Im saying Coffee because if i recall mami have more browns in her outfit.

Well my dress for my imitation black len kagamine got here :D though the skirt is REALLY long ( i chose not to make this cosplay because #1 i dont feel i have the skill to and #2 time constraint ) anywho yeah gunna have to do some pinning on the skirt it seems just need shoes and a wig now and ill be ready!

Working on making the bandolier for my TF2 Fem Heavy cosplay. I just scrapped an old pair of black pants since it was the right color and material and now I am just trying to get the darn elastic measurements figured out for the crazy oversized bullets. Thankfully its one of the few things I need to sew. Then I just need to make my turban for my Mr. Popo cosplay and the rest is all stuff that is getting shipped in over the next couple weeks! I think I will just try and figure out my cosplays super early next time and then make an item a month for my prop-heavy cosplays. :P

Working on the bag for Scout. Got everything cut out and ready to sew! c:

I went crazy and bought a bunch of stuff! I got the peeeeerfect pants and shirt for Izaya.
I had to drive super far away for a styrofoam wig head, so I bought two!
Got boots for my secret cosplay, and I really like them! They fit and are going to be super comfy!
Got paint and what not for props and I'm offically excited for con.
Sewing is going steady as long as I stop messing up. jeez.

Alright! Kuranosuke is completely done (and has been for a bit. lol). I'm going to do a "dress rehearsal" of sorts and test make up and putting it all together.
Also, dyed the fabric for my secret cosplay a week or so ago and finally got all of the pieces cut out. I also got my thread, buttons, and zipper. :3 I'm so excited for this one!!!
Haven't really done much for Luigi... My Mario has been really busy and going through some stuff, so we haven't been able to work at all, but we have pretty much all of the materials. Only thing we need is hat materials and pattern.
-
I hate to say it, but I won't be able to make ANY progress until after the 15th. The only possible exception could be tye-dying or painting my shirt and pants for male Pinkie Pie.

Just pulled a 5 and a half hour long sewing session, Hailey's secret cosplay's bodice is nearly done, I have puffy sleeves to make and details to put in. Shouldn't take longer then 2 more days to do just that! 8D

I am so very very close to having Darc done. I just need to paint the scales, attach the claws and the bracelet and I am done. I am borrowing a friends airbrush this weekend so it should be done by then :3

99% done with my bag for Scout. Just need to glue/sew on the straps, then it's finished. I'm still on a hunt to find headphones, but I'll probably be heading out to Walmart this weekend.

Ordered my contacts for Sebastian~
The only thing I'm missing is shoes. Going to go later this week to look for some. :3

Everything is falling into place quite nicely. I now have my costume, and though it needs a bit of ironing, I believe it is going too look rather nice once everything is complete. A little preview with me trying it on to make sure it fit correctly. Definitely need to iron it:
(https://www.kumoricon.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi152.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs169%2FSamurai_himura_Kenshin%2FA%2520-%2520Test%2520Album%2FSebastianTest1.jpg&hash=24be889dd288b96af2b5d75be5e2450b4f638c0b)
The lapel pin is a bit off, because I need to figure out exactly how to place it. I was confused by the second pin which my dad says is supposed to pin to the pocket there, but to me it doesn't look quite right. The shoes I have on are not the ones I'll be using for the cosplay, merely a backup in case I don't find the ones I want.
-
Whoo! Everyones progress is getting me so pumped! 8D I'm getting things done so much faster then I thought I was going to!
my progress hasn't improved to much, it's just that the cosplay I'm sewing, is probably the most well constructed, most put together cosplay I've ever done. So I'm super proud of it, and myself.
I put the interfacing on the inner lining of the bodice, and then sew'd the lining into the top.
Once that was done, it looked beautiful! So professional looking! All I really did today was make a pumpkin sleeve and sew all of the details on it before using the base stitches to poof out the sleeves!
8D and now I spent two hours making those sleeves fit into the bodice, but my gosh, it looks so nice!
I need to go get a different sized zipper, because I over guessed a bit when I was thinking about how long I would make the back. XD turns out I was only one zipper size to big.
tl;dr-I sew'd a fancy shirt together and took a long time to sew in fancy sleeves.

Finally got in my boots for pirate!Spain~
And I just need to get my wig, glasses, and shoes for Kyouya and then I'm set!

i'm in the process of making arm socks for aradia - i have one hand fully sewn and the other is about halfway there, then i need to seal the seams on the second one, take in the wrists some so they're more fitted, and attach fake nails. i'll post pictures later tonight, probably (i'm taking a break right now because i've been working on them for 3 hours)

Dear god, I've been trying to make this sword look good ALL DAY! and It doesn't look as nice as I wanted it to, so I'll just have to deal. :/
But That's all I really did today.
I'm still trying. XD Hopefully something works out!
I also got a belt for Izaya and I hope to style his wig tonight!

I made the skirt for my boyfriend's Fluttershy and found a cardigan he could use. As well as a lucky find of these cute little butterflies to use as the cutie mark! :D (The skirt has a elastic waist band so either he or I could wear it! :D)
I'm gonna get either a white or pink petticoat for under the skirt. Right now it's my blue pinkie pie one. (:

After work today I'm going full force. I am determined to have 2 cosplay done this weekend. I decided that Desert Punk's faceplate was too suffocating so I ordered a new dome the I will make into another faceplate that will give me enough room for a fan inside. No fainting at cons that is a good rule. Luckily that will only take me a couple hours to get the faceplate redone. I just hope it gets here by the end of next week. That will give me plenty of time. Also I will have a backup faceplate if needed. Cheers

Here is a quick picture of my claw. I am just about finished with Darc. There is one small thing left that will not take very long to do. But the scales are painted. I think I am going to try them all on tomorrow and see how they look. In this picture they are not attached to my hand and arm at all, my hand is just in the fingers of the glove. When I wear the costume the edges will be stuck down and it will be more form fitting.

Also looking for a brown husky for Angelica (any suggestions?) and will need to make wings.

A part of me wants to say "Yes" just because it's how I would've done it. However, it's a pretty dark shade of green, so unless you were looking to do white or light green question marks, I would skip placing them on the jacket.

I think I'm just going to do a gold ? on the back of the blazer. I've seen it on others and I like it.
In other news, I cut out my mask and am working on painting it, and I carved a large ? for my staff.

Nearly done painting the polka dot pants for my Gamzee cosplay. I picked up a sweet wig today for about 12 bucks, but I'm worried it's too short. :T
As well I've got the horns all shaped and what-not, I just need to sand 'em a bit and paint them. I'm surprised I could get all of this together so quickly actually. Also, I found a costume shop with that Ben Nye Creme Liner stuff that I'll need. I think "cadaver grey" looks like it'll be the perfect color, and they have white as well. Not sure if they have any darker greys, though. I'll be picking that up in about a week. Other than that, I just need the arm socks and t-shirt.
On the subject of the horns, anyone know how I can keep them attached? Like, I know a headband should work, but how do I connect them to the headband? They don't have wooden dowels in the center as suggested by that one tutorial, so I can't exactly drill screws into them. :F

the best way to get the right troll grey is mix one 'grey' with one 'white' and it comes out perfect.
but attach your horns to the headband with 1 1/2 inch (or longer) wood screws. since gamzee's horns are so long, it's difficult to keep them secured with anything less.

After my second trip to Goodwill, I secured a pink dress, red sneakers, red purse, and another green jacket that has absolutely nothing to do with my cosplay... :D
I ordered both wigs, and I found a stuffed dog that will work for Angelica.
We also secured an old Verizon flip phone.. not sure if it's the best one just yet..
To do: take in green jacket, hem pink dress and sew on white fringe, sew wings and harness for Angelica, lay out design for phone
To find: Takizawa's army-green jacket, Saki's red coat, boots.. I see another Goodwill in my future!

I've waited way too long to get going on my cosplay. I still have nothing that I need. Just ordered the Foamcoat I'm going to need for my harpoon, the only progress of which I've made so far being cutting a hole out of a styrofoam disc. Awesome.
I need someone to kick me or set my pants on fire or something.

The grey I found was a little different, so I'm not sure about mixing, I'm sure I can play around with that once I've got a bit on hand. But about the horns, I said they don't have wood in them, meaning wood screws aren't possible. They've got thick wires and aluminum foil in the center. I'm sure I'll figure something out. I guess.
Also, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a hold of any really good teeth unfortunately, might have to settle for either cheap ones, or just none at all.

New Paine wig to redo her for Kumoricon :D
-
i ordered a new faceplate for my Desert Punk. The other one that I made was a bit suffocating and there was not enough room for a fan. But the new one I got is really big. I think that I might have to trade them out during the day.
I am hoping to find some Yokos from Gurren Lagann in the park to take some photos with. I will use the small faceplate for those photos and then go switch it out for the bigger one with the fan inside. No passing out rule in effect.
-
^ the Paine wig looks AWESOME!
My third trip to the good ole GW netted me some of the most important pieces! Got the red coat ($13, SCORE!), boots (not quite the right light tan, but they'll work), and a green jacket that fits me better AND looks more like Saki's.. fewer alterations ;)
Both wigs and the dog have shipped and should be arriving any day.
Now we just need to find a army-green jacket for Takizawa!

Someone cosplaying Gravity Falls?! Be my new best friend.

@Tanuki19 - I ordered the hat off Amazon (it's this (http://www.amazon.com/ROYAL-WHITE-TRUCKER-STYLE-ADJUSTABLE/dp/B001G0UPH6/ref=sr_1_12?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1344581746&sr=1-12) one) and painted the symbol on using a stencil and some blue acrylic paint.
Also: Gravity Falls people, we should like. Meet up and take pictures at some point.

Oh man, I just might order that. I've been having the hardest time finding a hat. Thank you!

Makeup test for Ice King. The nose is derpy and I'll have to fix that. As well, I will be gluing hair in places to look better, I just didn't want to do that now.

I got shoes and a possible hat for Dipper today. The hat has a bunch of dumb crap stitched on the front which I'm going to try to seam rip and if it doesnt work then whatever, the hat was only a quarter. I'm still trying to convince my mom to buy me the one from Amazon XD

Sewed all of Double last night but her habit and arm cuffs. FUUUUU- I'm so excited, I'll have pictures up sometime soon.
I still need Wendy's shirt and Buttons for Double, then I am dooonnneee. AGH.
@Tanuki:
If you want you can borrow my Dipper hat! :0
It's all painted and done and what not. I'd need it back after con but other than that, have at it. x D

I'm so mad... got my Saki wig yesterday and it's orange and yellow hair... Thought it was just orange. It should have been just orange :p Will be sending it back and possibly ordering a new one from Amazon (after a quick check at the year-round Halloween store).
Also discovered Saki has a mini skirt under that red jacket.. will be looking for one of those too. And I forgot another important prop from King of Eden: the carousel ring. I think I'll also do an iron-on Air King shirt for hubby, just for good measure :D
Still looking for that army-green jacket for Takizawa, and have yet to tackle the phone.. though I found a GREAT site (http://en.gigazine.net/news/20100725_wf2010_s_eden_of_the_east/) with lots of good reference photos.

Ahh I need help! I have a photo shoot set up for Monday but I have no clue what costume to wear and no clue where to have it!!!
I'm thinking either Mami (Would probably be best, cause I'd like a barren location. Kinda dark and scary.) or Sophie and Howl (Which I'd like to have be in a flowery place...)
I don't really know the location well enough to judge what costume and what location... Help? Please.. (:
-
@Tsuki, you could also try sharpie dyeing the yellow fibers. You can either color them by hand or extract the dye and mix it with rubbing alcohol (there's plenty of tutorials around) and paint it on. Works pretty well in my experience!
Got the vest I needed to finish Dipper today. I need to take in the wrists on my armsocks, curl my wig for Aradia a bit, and purchase stickon moustaches and then I'm done.
-
I picked up shoes, leggings, and a hat (which was not originally planned) for Michiru. I'm probably going to take a picture with me wearing all of this stuff on over the weekend in order to show my progress. All that I need for her now is some gloves and make-up, plus removing hair... :P Oh, and new contacts.

I'm getting closer to being done. I just need to paint the handel on my blades for Rokuro. Then I need to attach the spheres to the middle of the blades and some little skull things and they are done.
As for Darc all that is left is smoothing out the edges of some of the scales. I may touch up the hilt of that sword a little too. Its kinda rough.

I might try to take the pink turtleneck in a bit as it's kind of large.
Now I just need to alter the pink dress for her second outfit (hem it and add the white trim) and find a carousel ring. Still have to make the wings for Angelica, and the MUCH larger project of the phone. STILL trying to find a jacket.. apparently it's just a Vietnam green jacket, but having trouble finding one. Everything else should be set - got a suit and even found a red tie for Takizawa... but the wig hasn't come yet :p At least it has shipped. Crunch time!!

So, I finished the bodice to Demony's dress, Made her cape! Her costume is coming along super well, But mine, I still have sooooo much to get for it!
I'm a little irritated that I don't even have all the stuff for it yet, and I can't seem to find the right kind of belt buckle from ANYWHERE!
I may need to just go to goodwill and buy a 5 dollar belt just for the buckle. I started on the shirt today, and I decided to make it one big piece instead of two pieces that would have looked funny when all put together.
So I took the lining for the vest and make a fake sleeve bottom, so it will look like it's two pieces, but no one will because to tell it's one~! I'm proud so far! I just hope I don't run into any complications as far as putting it the rest of the way together!
I wish I could put up pictures, but we as a group decided to keep it more under wraps.

Just cut out the skeleton of my harpoon-tip from a big ol' sheet of plastic sheeting (redundant update is redundant). I now have to: 1) glue it to the pipe, 2) spray insulation foam on both sides of it, 3) sculpt it down to size...that's as far as I'm willing to think right now.

Also worked on Ward's gauntlets. I am making them out of rubber, and I've got the two pieces measured and cut out, but now I can't seem to fit them to my arms. I've got two rectangles of material. I plan to close them with snaps. How do I trim these down to size so they fit snugly?

I had to reorder a new wig for Howl. Thank goodness Arda is located in the US! I hope it will be here on time... 18 days!

Went Shopping and got all the last of the things I needed for costumes!
Including hair spray and gel for wigs, and the last bit of stuff I would need for prop and Jewelry pieces!
8D I'm glad that I got something done today! FOR MY COSTUME! That never happens! XDD
I only have the little bit of Bias tape left to sew along the end and then it's done! Once that's done, I plan on starting construction on Demony's skirts, and then I'll work in intervals til everything is done!
I have more to do for my own costume, But this way, I can get the complicated parts out of the way, so the last few things I'll need to make will be easy!
I'm waiting til after the big important costumes to start making Izaya's Jacket, It should only take me a day and a half, since I've made so many jackets before!

4 steps forward, and 2 steps backward. Got my Fem Engineer done and when i tried on my blonde wig that darn thing couldn't even fit a child's head. Even though it's an adult female on the package.

^those look so good! the wrench is especially sharp!
almost finished with jade's lunchtop, and i'm gonna try to get the dress done today or tomorrow. gamzee's finished, but i still need to find faygo. my clothes for fionna finally came in the mail, but the socks are weird, and the shirt doesn't fit right. so i'm gonna have to reconstruct some things. at least everything's the right color...i also still need to finish the backpack, but that's gonna take a few minutes, tops.
it's great looking at everyone's progress! i'm so excited to see all the finished costumes!

Have my gloves and bowtie for my Zatanna cosplay now... need to make the collar part this week, and buy the boots. Need new tights also since my original ones have gone missing in action. Saw pictures of the jacket I'm commissioning and it looks fantastic! I'm really getting excited! Second picture is of my Zatanna wig now that I got all the weird kinks/bumps out of it and chopped off about 6 inches.
I hope there are other Young Justice people running around!!! =]

Found a good wig at the halloween store. Not the greatest but in a pinch not bad. Just gonna braide that sucker into pigtails and then my Fen Engineer is good to go! Spending the rest of the day getting Desert Punk ready. Need to get a fan inside the faceplate. and need to retint but that should only take about an hour.
I went to saphora today cause no one has green lipstick for my rave outfit, so I found a light green matte that can go on the lips and some nightlight green fingernail polish. So rave outfit is done too. ;D

^ Do you have a hat, yet, for your Zatanna cosplay?
I'm doing her outfit from the second season of Young Justice, which actually doesn't have the hat.... which is nice actually because it's one less thing to worry about.
However, this whole boot situation is driving me up a wall! I just have the thickest thighs ever and boot zippers just can't seem to overcome them. ;_;

Spaceballs cosplay progress:
In the process of cutting (which went well) and painting (didnt go so well) the acrylic globe for my spaceballs helmet, the acrylic became very brittle and broke into pieces. I was using krylon fusion paint and a dremel. Ordered another orb to work on but I am still dumbfounded as to what caused this, might try using some fiberglass resin and bondo next time to strengthen it post cutting/pre paint.
any input into this matter would be helpful
Water tribe warrior costume,
Almost completed and should have pics up in a few days.

I know it's late in the game but there is a web site that you can get clear acrylic street globes. I am using one of these to make my Desert Punk faceplate cause his is perfectly round. If you order soon it will get here before con and just cut it with a dremel and paint it. It's really strong stuff.
http://www.1000bulbs.com/category/clear-acrylic-globe-lamp-covers-with-opening/ (http://www.1000bulbs.com/category/clear-acrylic-globe-lamp-covers-with-opening/)
I would get the 12 or 14 inch. I ordered this on a friday and it got to me by wed. so if you hurry you should have enough time cause all you would have to do is cut it and paint it.

All the sewing is almost done for all my costumes!
Then I just need to make belt buckles, make a sword holster, make a knife and style my wigs, and I'm done.
The list sure has gone down quite a bit!

Bought the last few things I needed (setting powder, hair spray) today! I have to spike my John wig, curl my Aradia one, and take in the wrists on my armsocks, and then I'm done. Which is good because I'm leaving town on Thursday and won't be back until the 30th.

making slow but steady progress on jade. dress is almost finished, but there's still a few more little things to be done.
shirt and socks for fionna are a total disaster, so i might just have to postpone her till another con. on a more positive note, the backpack is coming along well!

Sprayed the other side of my harpoon's insulation a couple hours ago, waiting 5-8 hours for that to set, and I also just put my first layer of foamcoat on my Styrofoam ring, which takes at least 2 hours to dry.
Hurry up and wait is the motto of the year, lol.

I got all my foam sprayed and set. Tomorrow... *nervous gulp*... I sculpt! I've never done this before, so I'm terrified.
Also, I put a first layer of foamcoat on my styrofoam, and I'm wondering if anyone has ever used this product before? I am using it for durability, but also to get a smooth texture, and it is a little too thick and shows brush strokes. Can I thin it with water?
-
Alright, there's a bit of an update for me as well.
Miku is...getting there. I've ordered another wig which will be here between tomorrow and the 28th (hopefully...). If not, then I'm going to really quickly make the second pigtail look presentable. >u>;;;
And then my Shaymin Sky Forme gijinka's antlers are done, and my dad and I are hopefully going to be spray painting the boots tomorrow. Yaaaay!

Worked more on Riddler. I remade part of my staff and added more detailing.
Tomorrow I'm searching for those little details that I can use. Like buttons to replace mine and such like that. Also will be getting better makeup for Ice King. The cream makeup just wasn't working, especially with how much I'm going to sweat in that. So I'm getting aqua color instead!

Styled my John wig, attempted to style my Aradia wig but that failed so whatever, it looked alright the way it was, and I'm about to go fiddle with my dude!Jane wig a little more but it's mostly done. My John, Jane and Dipper costumes are completely done, and Aradia is nearly there (I still need to finish those flipping armsocks).

I used foam coat before: I've heard that you can water it down so you can brush it on. I haven't done that myself. I've only done thick layers. that stuff is awesome. no more getting high off of bondo.

I watered some down this morning, and it is working nicely. It helps for getting an even coat, I've found. I was leaving too many brushstrokes with how thick it naturally was. I'm wondering, though, what you use to make it glossy? It seems to be drying pretty...rough? if that makes sense. I know mod podge dries with that smooth semi-gloss look. Do you put anything over the foamcoat for a glossy finish?
As for progress, been cutting away at foam for a couple hours, and I've still got some work to go. The shape is starting to emerge, but I just don't want to cut too much too fast. Slow and steady...

So, about a month ago, my list of aspiring displays went as follows:
Sailor Neptune, sailor form
Sailor Neptune, casual form
Sailor Neptune, ball form
Pinkie Pie, human male raver form
Rhode Island, Hetalia OC
Mikuru Asahina, adult form
With con time coming closer, and Chan on that trip I opposed, money has dictated that I officially scrap some of these. Rhode Island and Mikuru are for sure gone; ball form Neptune might go, too.

So, yesterday I went over to Demony's to have her try on her costume. Looks pretty good, but this trial run showed me a few errors I needed to fix, such as little things on the bodice I need to fix, the petticoat being difficult to get on and off, and the cape not wanting to stay in place!
I fixed the cape problem with some really big safty pins, if that doesn't work out, I'll come up with another solution, but a final test run of both our costumes will be had before the convention regardless.
I need to go get a zipper to install to the petticoat, because I want it to fit her waist very snug, as it will make it easier for the outer skirt and the bodice to go on nicely.
As far as what I did today, I put together my belt and sword holster, as well as my cape holder and support straps.
At firts I was very irritated with it because I'm not really that great when it comes to props, but the foam served it's purpose very well!
Now I'm just waiting for it to dry before I can put it on my cape and I can start making a second one for my belt.

Did a quick dress rehearsal today for both of my cosplays (Well, for Konata, I just did the wig and makeup.)
For Scout, I need a small haircut (especially on my bangs and an inch trim. My hair's getting loong...) and I need to fix the backpack's strap (it's a little loose, so I'll either fix that or find another brown messenger bag cheap somewhere.)
For Konata, I still need to fix my maid dress (when i ordered it, it was too small >_< My mom's going to help me extend the dress.) and try to find shoes (If I can't find any shoes for cheap, I might just wear my Vans >_< Unless I find shoes that fit me somewhere.)

This "checklist" is mainly so I know where I'm at...heehee
Umbreon-cover the legs
Once-ler-get grey hat
Harry Potter-unsharpen sword
John Egbert-DONE (well not really, but I'M done)
Romano-Find all the stuff for him and fix wig
Deadpool-fix/make belt
Shizuo-(maybe...) make fake Cigs
Sadly, I'm dropping Izaya

I'm starting to feel that the end is near!
Kuranosuke is 100% done. I'm so happy with it! My friend, who is doing a different version of him, and I went to the aquarium last weekend and took pictures. They're pretty fab.
Secret cosplay is at 95%. All I need to do is buttons, button holes, hem, hat, and trimming the bangs on the wig. :D The dress looks soooooooooooooo goooooooooood. Come to the cosplay contest on Sunday at con to see what it is!
And then there's Luigi.... :/ everything is cut out and ready to go, I just need the motivation to sew everything together. Otherwise everything is bought and ready to go. I'll post pictures when it finally gets done.
Also my bf got his wig so he can do Roy Mustang again (but not dye his hair). And he got his Dexter (from the Showtime show) Miami Police badge in the mail. Probably need to get him some rubber gloves to wear around. lol
It doesn't help that I'm trying to do all of this AND move out of my apartment and into my parents' house. XP

I would use Envirotex Lite High Gloss Epoxy Pour on Resin you can get at Michaels or JoAnns in different sizes. it takes awhile to dry and harden at least 12-20 hours but it's a nice glossy finish.

ok forgive the piggies but I didn't feel like putting on the shoes.

I've got Izaya's Jacket almost done! 8D All I need to do is put in the lining, add the fur trim and sew in a zipper!
All together, I still have to style two wigs, add finishing touches of paint to anything and make a knife! BUT I figure all that should only take a day, so it looks like I have what I'm doing on my day off planned! XD

Question: should I look into getting my legs waxed by a pro, or do an at-home kit?

would say pro if you want them wax wax becuse you can hurt yourself if done wrong. but you can also do a hair removal lotion or what ever it is that works just as well we did that to my friend last year worked well

Riddler is done. Though, actually he isn't XD I'm changing him up a bit to fit into the Dark Knight universe since I'll be with a Joker and Scarecrow from that.
And Ice King is slowly coming together. I'm going to get fake snow stuff to add some details on the tunic, once I actually make it.

Now I just need to alter Saki's pink dress and make the Selecao phone. I'd also like to do a quick iron-on Air King t-shirt.. that shouldn't take much effort. Really hoping I can get the phone busted out over the next week! My weekend was kind of busy with Portland to Coast and all... :)

Mine are both in the finishing process, hopefully the'll be done by tomorrow if not tuesday :)
We had to completely remake hannah as I have lost 108lbs since last year and the one we took in for sakura con couldn't be taken in anymore due to taking it in for that con lol.

Got my overalls done (by way of my wife ;D), and also got the harpoon ready for tape and foamcoat. Odd thing, I ended up having to put a few skewers in it because it was bending. Not sure why, but the skewers evened it out pretty nicely.

For the top fin, what if you made it just like the one showed in the picture (well, different shape for the top, I mean), and then glued it to a hair clip, and just clipped it in? Seems like that could work.

That's what I'm hoping to do, I really hope it works >.< I need to find some fine sand paper to sand down the back of the fake gems I bought too. Those are what I put on the front of the earring to hide the wire glued to them. I need to get the back smoother so I can paint it with nail polish so it will look shiney and be the right color.

Sounds like a good plan. Fine sandpaper can be found at Fred Meyer, Lowe's and Home Depot (I was just at Fred Meyer today and saw a big shelf of the stuff. Nifty!).

ALL COSPLAY SEWING IS DOOOONE! 8DDDD
Now, it's all technical stuff!
I did an offical test run of Both me and Demony's costumes, and they look pretty good if I do say so myself!
But the thing that became obvious, was that capes, suck.
Hers wont really stay the way I want it to, and mine has a way of staying, but hat's because I don't have a super deep collar, I rally don't know what I could do to fix her cape without tearing it apart, or taking off the top band and making it looser, but if I do that it won't really stay on.
hmmm.
SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH CAPES!
>.< NEVER AGAIN!

Along with shaving (and waxing...) I still need to tye-dye my shirt, paint my pants, style my pink wig (someone else will do that, though), get my sailor scout uniform patched up (again, someone else), ...I think (and hope) that's it.

Well, two steps forward one step back is the whole of the law.
I need a white tank top for my Ward, ordered a couple through amazon hoping they'd be thick enough to not be transparent. They weren't. They are pretty thin. Thin enough to show chest tattoos that don't look good peeking through clothing. So, back to square one with the top. That's the last bit I need to wrangle for this costume though. At this point it's looking like my options are: find something in store, or make one.

OUCH. :o Hopefully you had some ice ready to stick on your lips.
On the progress side of things, I just put a coat of foamcoat on my harpoon tip. I wrapped it in scotch tape first to give it a bit more shape and structure. Ideally I'll be getting this harpoon completely done in the next couple days.
Why do I always have to cut it so close? lol

Bella's life
ON THE SOUNDY NOTES HERE GOES:
- Fixed my Zelda belt, and fixed up the top of the dress so it stops falling down
- Jigglypuff has a dress, tights, ears, wig, and shoes and is almost 100%
- Ursula needs two more tentacles stuffed and a little extra hair spray in the wig, plus A LOT more in the practicing for make up department, as that make up stuff is kicking me in the butt :/
That's my progress
Stoked to see all of you guys at con!
If you see me, definitely give me a shout!
-
@Eve : Why not wear two tank tops over each other? It might look weird, but then the tattoos wouldn't be seen, right? Especially if you wore the larger tank over the smaller one.
-
I would do that except both tanks I have are the same size and pretty tight (it was a pack of two undershirts. For whatever reason I thought they'd be thicker). I need something thicker and looser. I'm going to go look at Value Village and Goodwill tomorrow, and if I don't find anything, I'll just make it (or have my wife make it, more specifically, lol).

Planning on getting tye-dye and looking for waxing tomorrow, as well as get money.

I'm so excited about this year's EotE cosplays :D I have a few to get me through the entire weekend (without having to wear the same nasty clothing all weekend), and I get to cosplay WITH my hubby for once! Pix will be fun :)
And I'm super stoked that you know EotE, Eve/Abyss! It's still fairly new, I know, but it's an awesome series. The phone is integral! We can't have a Takizawa without the phone! Wash, I'd be happy to lend the series to you (or perhaps we need to start an EotE marathon? :)). Definitely worth the watch!
As a side note, my building downtown is new and fancy, and there's a voice in the elevator that will tell you which floor you're getting off at and if it's going up or down.. etc. It's a female voice. So every time I go home and it announces "20th floor," I respond with "Thank you, Juiz!" :D

AS OF TODAY! ALL MY COSPLAY STUFF IS DONNNNEEEE!

Everything has turned out so well! So many things could have gone wrong, and didn't.
Now all I have to do is get through the next two days for work, and con is on~!

It's a Selecao phone from Eden of the East. It grants wishes...at a cost!

I won't have green eyes though. :( (They'll be my normal blue/grey/green color)
-
And with the last coat of paint on the megaphone, Minamimoto is done~ GLaDOS was completed last week, so I'm all ready to go!
-
I've got three women from Oklahoma and a man from California crashing with Chan & I as of now. I'm hoping that we'll be able to do the last-minute tweeks to our (mainly my) cosplays tomorrow. I've also got a waxing appointment tomorrow afternoon.

Yay yay yay yay YAY!! ALMOST THERE!!

^ Yay!
Oh, I've been wanting to see that. ...does it cost the life of some random person? Like that crappy live-action movie? ;D
Haha, no, it just costs money.
...uh-huh...
-
Yay yay yay yay YAY!! ALMOST THERE!!
Looking nifty!
-
jade dress is finished! now all i need to do is sew the collar onto the jacket, and i'm good to go.
unfortunately, the pieces that i got for fionna were the wrong size, and i didn't have the time to modify them. so fionna is gonna have to wait for another con. at least i got the hat and backpack finished.
-
I'm now leaving from my waxing appointment. Got my brows, got my arms. We started on my legs, but on the first shin, it hurt so bad that we had to stop. Sometimes it sucks having a Scottish lineage... :P
Now I'm heading home, where I plan to paint some pants and add a tail, and maybe work on dying my shirt.
-
My maid dress is finally fixed, thanks to the help of my glorious mother! (: I also bought athletic tape today. As of today... **drumroll...**
I AM COMPLETELY FINISHED WITH BOTH OF MY COSPLAYS!!! ^_^
See y'all at the con! <3
-
^ Congratulatiooooooooons!!! ^_^
After having a mini breakdown all afternoon, I am back on track and things are looking good. Tomorrow morning I will put the last coat of paint on the harpoon, put on some silver leaf for the blade edge, seal it, put on the grip-wrap, and get packing for conland!!!
-
My mom and I got my maid dress done, fem finland got finished early this morning, and my friend somehow helped me get an England closet cosplay so this will be interesting :D
-
Me, my sister, and my friend are all, finally, finished with our cosplays, and my sister and I have already packed most of our stuff in the car! (We packed a couple days ago. xD) So, we're ALL READY!!
And my gecko eggs hatched, so I don't have to worry about those while I'm gone. >,>
My sister had to make a last-minute holster for one of her pistols and the other day I had to make Lord Death skulls for the front clips on my suspenders.
Tomorrow we'll be the group of Gil Nightray, Shinra Kishitani, Boris (from Alice and the Country of Hearts), and I'll also have a Rainbow Dash(or an Apple Jack... not sure which one my younger sister is doing) and a Twilight Sparkle with me... a pretty noticeable group!
-
Yay, I got my ears and tail done!

Vaporeon is almost done I think. :D My paper umbrella will be a little sub-par because I don't have time to do the details, but that's ok for how much I've procrastinated.
-
I've applied the paint to my Pinkie Pie pants; have yet to add the tail. I'm still debating on whether or not to paint the back of the legs...

Was up until 12:45 last night finishing the Air King shirt. Getting Word to mirror text was a real PAIN! ...but it LOOKS GREAT!

I'm just mad hubby refuses to play up the classic first episode. At least he consented to let me take a picture.... :D
