Yeah, so dropping and adding things to my list.

Dropping:
Panty - Only cuz I'm not in shape enough for it this year. Next year I'll do it.

Kairi - I'm most likely letting someone else borrow it

Keeping:
Dawn Hikari
Simca
Minori Kushieda

Adding:
Yui Hirasawa
Rainbow Dash

Now, for some cosplay progress. I just bought some loafers that I can use for Minori and Yui and commissioned their uniforms from meep. I got my Rainbow Dash wig AND IT IS SO AMAZING~!!! -cough- I've realized I need to fix up Simca's hat, trim and straighten her wig, and see if I still fit into her dress. If I don't then I may just have to starve myself(LOLNOTREALLY). Ummmm, all I have left to do with Dawn is to style her wig, get some clippies and make them all triangle-y, and get her vest. Dash, all I've got is the wig, so that might end up being dropped due to lack of money. We shall see!

I really hope you keep Rainbow Dash because I saw a picture of that wig and it was MAGICAL.

Vampire-Kameko your sad mascot behind bars got me laughing so hard I almost spilled my breakfast.

If I could ever get around to finishing the bodice for my Sheryl dress I'd be all done but for the hemming and a few more adventures with ruffling.

You know something I just realized that the mascots are announced at the Kcon from the year prior. How fun would it be to cosplay the mascot? You would have a year to create the outfit. I think that would be so much fun. I might have to do that in 2012.

Have a mascot cosplay contest.

HELP!!!!

I am almost done with my sisters keyblade. However the acrylic that I used is still very sticky to the touch even though it's dry. What can I put over the paint that is clear and not sticky and won't ruin the paint job?

CLAP_attack · « **Reply #2105 on:** July 22, 2011, 12:44:36 pm »

Cut out the stencils for the top armor on thy arms.
Theeen i traced it craft foam and cut her' out ~
i was thinking on making it not full pieces and have the elastic band help slip on , stay on, and shape it too..

I got bored at work tonight and started to look at catsuits again for Asuka and I am happy I did. I found the PEFECT one. It isn't too shinny and has that wet look to it though. It looks great on the model and not lumpy at all and it is made out of latex.

Slightly unrelated, but Nikkiloie, are you still doing Azula? I couldn't remember if you finished that or dropped it.

I get it a Lowels. It is insulating foam. It comes in 2'X8'X2" boards. It costs $19. The boards are big enough to make 6 keyblades if that gives you a better perspective.

My Tifa cosplay is almost complete. Need to hem the shirt, create the elbow and boot armor, change the suspender clips, layer the wig a bit, and get a white bandage wrap thing for my left glove.

My Claude cosplay is all altered; I just need to make his wig look slick and also get some shoes to make me taller.

For Serah Farron, I got her wig all dyed.

For Aya Brea, Her dress is almost complete.

Lol, that's why I am going to wear shorts under it. xD To me, I think my skirt needs to be a tad bit shorter cause it seems a bit too long. I won't make it extremely short, but just accurate enough like Tifa.

veraca · « **Reply #2131 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:09:18 pm »

Awsome Tifa! ^^
Though I don't recall her wearing the pearl drop earrings in the game... They only come to mind in AC. I think she wore just regular studs. Oh well~
Is the wig long enough you can put in her low-pony tail thing?

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #2132 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:16:09 pm »

I bought material for my raichu ears and arm things. And i bought some string...stuff for my Gaz necklace which i plan on finishing today.

I don't recall her wearing studs... o.o Cause I looked at the Duodecim and several Final Fantasy VII photos to confirm every detail of her.

http://www.andriasang.com/blog/2010/10/21/dissidia_new_gameplay_systems/2132429944.jpg

Like this photo showed her wearing the pearl drop one. For the wig, it is long to the butt but I wish it was more longer. T__T Ebay photos do deceive so much when making purchases...

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2134 on:** July 25, 2011, 08:35:09 pm »

That pic didn't work, but here is the original concept art from VII and, yes, indeed, that is a pearldrop. Crazy, I could have sworn it was a stud too.

It's all just personal reasons but it sent my parents over the edge. They're seling all of my anime stuff so I have to stash it at my friend's house while I can. My parents never liked anime in the first place but they let me do what I want with it.

He doesn't wear an eye patch with that outfit. He covers his eye with the wig and hat.
