Title: DBZ/DB/Etc 2014
Post by: princess_of_zeal on April 07, 2014, 09:07:27 pm
This is happening day 3.   Suggested time is 5 pm.  Meet at the stairs in the park. 

So, I'm terrible at planning these things but I know that I'm not going to be the only DBZ cosplayer.  I thought we should come together and try to organize something.   Last year's "I'm sure I'll see you" plan didn't work so maybe we can try for something more solid...Such as day, time and location.   I'll be post battle Android 18 from DBZ.

If I don't end up doing my group stuff (she isn't texting back so....) I will be putting Gohan together.


Also, Kuroki, 17 doesn't have a widows peak. His hair is just poofy..Most people just part there hair..It's not physically possible to have his poof and have it stay that way throughout a day..It'll flatten anyway..Just part your hair..

Yea, it's not a pattern. It's a normal hairline. Like, take your bangs, hold them up, then put your hand in front of them and let them fall over your hand..His hair does that..It's impossible to do it for real hair because it's not just the bangs, but ALL of his hair is doing it. It's physically impossible with real hair

You can use hair products such as extra hold hair spray or even hair glue to make the bangs stay for android 17.

Zeal, Nope. That wouldn't last throughout the day. I've styled many many people hair in my life. I grew up with friends in the rocker scene of all kinds who all happened to be DBZ fans. All different hair styles. I did mine like Gotenks before and while it did stay, because I used beeswax (which would be terrible for 17 and not work right) I also always loved 17 and so did all my friends. I tried on just about all of them, including myself and his hair was the one that was impossible to do. It only works on short haired Trunks style because there is so little hair. The hair weights down and that's why it doesn't work. It works in wigs better because they aren't real hair and you can force it to permanently stay that way, which is why I would do that instead, but Kuroki refuses to wear wigs so not a who lot he can do..


Kuroki, if you find time, come over and I'll see what I can do to help and then whatever technique works best, we can do that at the con for you.
By the way, what hotel are you staying in?

It has worked for me in the past.  *shrugs*  However, I do agree that wigs are a very good alternative option.

Well if you can get it to work then that's awesome. I just hope we can figure something out good for Kuroki. Either way..


Anyway, might not be able to get Gohan done after all. I'm still looking into in. But there are plenty of DBZ characters to pick from anyway..I will have to see.

So, any day in mind?  My request is NOT day 2/Saturday.  Anyone have a preferred day in mind? Or time?
Title: Re: DBZ/DB/Etc 2014
Post by: Sailor-Jeimi on May 02, 2014, 11:19:01 pm
What about day 3? That'd be sunday..Still not the end, but not the beginning either. I have a feeling my Kingdom Hearts stuff will be on Friday and my Pokemon stuff maybe on Saturday so Sunday might work out..I think all the cons up here are day 1 for Kingdom Hearts related stuff..Seems that way anyway..Like it's a state known thing or something haha so if sunday works for you I can make sure to keep that free..
Title: Re: DBZ/DB/Etc 2014

This is a really bad joke, but maybe there is an android app for planning this out  8)

So far,  day 3 would work for me.   I'll wait to hear from others as well.

Things might actually change for me now..My friend who wasn't answering before finally got back ahold of me and is still making her cosplays for the group stuff so I gotta do those. I think I can still squeeze something in for DBZ though..I'll have to see. I think Gohan in the school outfit as the "gold fight" might be easy enough..

This sounds fun! I want 2 bring my Android 17 cosplay.

Would you be interested in becoming part of the DBZ group on day 2 then?  The more the merrier!

Well, gohan is proving to be much more trouble than it's worth. I think I will just have to skip DBZ this time.

Money....lol Since my group stuff ended up still going to happen, I have to work around that too. those are 3 of the 5 days of cosplay already..and one of them I wanted to do 2 times so I think I'm still running the Kingdom Hearts stuff so that's the last of the left over days

*walks in* Hello! I'm planning on being Afro!Bulma at Kumori this year! I'm glad to see that there's a gathering going on! I hope that it'll be okay if I join! :3 As for what day it's on, hopefully it's on a day where Chris Sabat is signing things, I want to get his autograph that day, so I want to be IN my Bulma cosplay for that. But whatever works, I suppose!

Post by: Raedesu on May 31, 2014, 04:30:20 pm
I also have a Great Saiyaman cosplay that I'll be running around in, not sure what day I'm wearing it, but I could definitely wear it if there's more than one shoot.

If we had the meetup in the hyperbolic time chamber we would have all the time in the world XD but my yamcha cosplay is all clear for kumori.

Post by: Sailor-Jeimi on June 24, 2014, 10:36:53 pm
Holy crap....I just had to reply to this....That's awesome..


However incorrect..You don't have all the time in the world..You still age in there..Once you step in, your body adjusts to the flow of time in the chamber..So you will still eventually die of old age..Just much faster to the people outside the chamber lol


Again..Sorry..Had to reply lol

Day 3 works for me! Depending on which costume I decide to wear that day, I'll be either Bulma or Great Saiyaman. <3
