Title: Animal Crossing cosplay anyway?
Post by: BlackjackGabbiani on April 21, 2014, 08:47:56 pm: I was thinking of going as my favorite villager, Melba, but I'm unsure how to properly dress as a koala. Especially since the nose would be key and I have glasses...

Any advice? And anyone else want to go as a character?

also, I was hoping if I had some free time to throw together Punchy, Tangy, or Lolly (my 3 favorite villagers)

Here's how it looks so far. I have to make the ears and dye parts of the shirt (the blue parts). How do I make them green? Fabric paint?

I got capris for it too, and black shoes.

Post by: BlackjackGabbiani on June 27, 2014, 09:32:44 pm: Tom Nook would be awesome.

And thanks! It's a wig though.

Post by: superjaz on June 29, 2014, 09:46:07 pm: I totally didn't think that it was a wig, just asked my husband too he thought it looks real.

Post by: asapisaiah on July 16, 2014, 05:26:52 am: I'm hoping to put together a cosplay based off of my Mayor, having red nose paint to differentiate from just simple dress up. I also found a perfect looking silver shovel at Target but it's most likely gone, as the back to school stuff is being put in.

Speaking of makeup, any auggestions om a koala nose? I'm gonna have the tip black, but it'll be hot and I touch my nose a lot when it's hot out (sweat and all). So how does one fend makeup against sweat and frequent touching?

Also I need to get started on the ears, and on dying the blue parts of the shirt green,

...which requires FINDING the shirt now. Mom has a tendency to rearrange things in ways that have nothing to do with common sense, and to make matters worse I live on my own and she promised not to in my own place. So yeah, it's SOMEWHERE, but...

Post by: BlackjackGabbiani on August 03, 2014, 05:15:16 pm: I started dying the shirt today. Bleach out the blue, then I'll paint more green on! Though I have to do it on my porch (applying bleach inside is a no no) and it's hot on the pavement! Yikes!

I'm also going to start the ears today.

How is everyone else coming?
