So my friend stopped by today so i could try on my raichu dress. All that needs to be done to it is the top needs to be taken in a tiny bit and the bottom needs to be hemmed. I also want to see if i can make a white half apron to add to it because raichu has a white belly and the dress is entirely orange.

All done

Well, I had adventures in lace dying today. First I attempted to dye my polyester/nylon lace. Unfortunately the part I'd hoped would be the nylon was the poly and the part I'd hoped would be the poly was the nylon. T_T So sadly, this is what I ended up with, and I will not be using it for my cosplay:

On the bright side, I did the first dye batch of my applique, and they're a mix of rayon and cotton, so I could just use RIT dye:

Hopefully I'll be able to do the red batch and the blue batch Sunday or something~ I'm bleaching my sink right now, and I'll have to do it again after those. XD lol

Update over here: I have dismantled my Hufflepuff robe and bought more stuff.

That's all >.> Huuurgghh

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #2307 on:** August 13, 2011, 01:22:13 am »

Just got fabric for my costume wish me luck

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #2308 on:** August 13, 2011, 01:25:10 am »

I am officially done O3O with all my cosplay!!!!!!!!!

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2309 on:** August 13, 2011, 02:46:47 pm »

I have new blue contacts ordered because my old ones were hell on my eyes and didn't look very good anyway.

Oh, and I've given up the mad hope that I'll have Lady Loki done for Kumo. It'll have to be for ECCC and Sak.

She's being replaced by Xion.

Everything's finished but the contacts getting in and the keyblade. I can't wait to get photos in front of the clock tower at Esther Short Park :D

I cut my own hair into Karin's! Now to bleach and dye my hair red.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2311 on:** August 13, 2011, 10:27:46 pm »

I got the majority of my secret cosplay today. Tomorrow I am going to get the rest of the materials I need to finish it (at least I hope so, the pony tail clip is going to be hard to match to my wig but I will try.)

Tranny · « **Reply #2312 on:** August 14, 2011, 11:18:39 am »

So got some more progress done last night. I was abandoned in the code lyoko cosplay this year. but I wanted to do yumi anyways. and I'm really excited because all the yumi cosplayers I've seen don't have fans. so Yay! for hours of work later.

Only issue I have is that I had to use blush and eyeshadow to color it because I don't have a color sprayer or whatever its called but I think it turned out awesome. I do have to clean up the brown a little tho.

I'm close to finishing Chrona! just need to do a few last touches on my Ragnarok plushie, make the collar, and get the wig styled (all with tons of help from my glorious friend)

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #2314 on:** August 14, 2011, 12:08:51 pm »

Got a shirt, took it in, and made my neck bow last night. I just have my wig to do for Anaru and I'm done!

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #2315 on:** August 14, 2011, 12:13:06 pm »

Boogie: Looks sweeeeeeeeeeeettttttttt!!! Good luck on the wig, can't wait to see it!

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #2316 on:** August 14, 2011, 01:09:00 pm »

@boogie - Your make-up job could use a little improvement, though...

I'm thinking about dropping Oswald this year and, mainly because of the girlfriend unit, might be going with Phoenix Wright instead.

Drauska · « **Reply #2317 on:** August 14, 2011, 01:10:50 pm »

To everyone who is 100% done...I'm jealous. Found my floor and I'm putting some of the finishing details on my cross punisher. I know I talk way too much about it. But it's starting to look so cool.

My Cosplay, and wigs are almost done. Just need to put white crosses on Wolfwoods sleeves. It's just these darn props that taking so long to complete.

Question: Do y'all think that PVC piping is the best option for a gun barrel at the end of my cross punisher? I was kicking around the idea of finding a toy gun at Fred Meyer and just taking the barrel off and using it. However, I bet the PVC piping is cheaper. What you think? Please give me some ideas...my brain is mush right now. Thanks!!

Kingdom Key progress since yesterday when I bought supplies. Most of this is yesterday's progress, I've only made the keychain and epoxied a few pieces so far today. When all the epoxy cures I'll give all the MDF board a coat or two of fiberglass resin and sand it all to a beautiful metallic finish. Still have to do the raised detail with apoxie sculpt. I'll probably keep the thing in two pieces until it's time to paint it.

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #2321 on:** August 14, 2011, 04:18:19 pm »

Wig is done.
(came up with the bright idea of wearing a bright yellow jacket and a balck adn white scarf to clash !

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #2322 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:00:20 pm »

I finished the wristbands for my Heather Mason cosplay that I'm doing next year. I need to get yellow fabric so i can figure out how I'm doing the lightning bolt on my Raichu tail.

StarryShay · « **Reply #2323 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:50:03 pm »

Got shoes for Nia that make me really freaking tall. xD
I still need to add detail to them, finish painting my suit, style my wig, then I am done!

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #2324 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:50:58 pm »

Shay you make a cute Nia <3 I think the shoes look great and are a creative way around that whole no barefoot problem. Cant wait to see your Nia in person!

the hat bothers me a lot i have to keep an eye on it so it doesn't fall.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #2329 on:** August 14, 2011, 10:09:12 pm »

I finished styling a wig today but I am a little unsure of it so far. I had to get a pony tail clip but I am having a hard time finding one that matches the wig. I am going to check a wig place tomorrow they were just closed today. It photographs just fine and you can't really tell there is a color difference but seeing it in person it is pretty obvious.

Here is a close up of the two parts, it is a little easier to see the difference

Titus_Love_Doll · « **Reply #2330 on:** August 14, 2011, 10:54:06 pm »

^ looks amazing good work i love the wig

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #2331 on:** August 15, 2011, 09:57:53 am »

My Sailor Neptune costume was processed at a sorting facility in San Francisco last night. I'm thinking (and hoping) that I'll be getting it before the end of the week. (If that's true, maybe I'll wear it to the final Clark Manga & Anime Club meeting of the Summer...

).

nyahaha · « **Reply #2332 on:** August 15, 2011, 06:16:42 pm »

Got the base of my Kneesocks' jacket sewn. But I can't fit it by myself, so I have to wait until mom gets home.
Hopefully I'll finish it tonight so I can start on Beatrice.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2333 on:** August 15, 2011, 06:37:23 pm »

Been working on sealing Barret's waist-guard all afternoon. Layer after layer of Mod Podge. Time consuming, but it'll be worth it though. Pdflo's AX videos and Anime Hunters episodes are getting me through it. Thanks, Contube playlist on Youtube, heh.

Also, the wife has been working feverishly on her Lia/D'Eon de Beaumont costume, and I have to say...it looks amazing. Cannot wait for her to unleash Le Chevalier D'Eon's French revolutionary apparel on Kumoricon. (Although I'm sure I'll be counting the number of people who recognize her costume on one hand.)

@random · « **Reply #2334 on:** August 15, 2011, 08:10:10 pm »

Chevalier cosplay=awesome. Is she going to be cosplaying one or the other specifically?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2335 on:** August 15, 2011, 08:37:36 pm »

She's cosplaying Lia-possessed D'Eon (so basically Lia de Beaumont in D'Eon's clothing). She is so excited for this one, and loves the series so much, so I'm really hoping the costume is well-received.

Zensuke · « **Reply #2336 on:** August 15, 2011, 11:43:14 pm »

Making good progress on my new sword. Only decided to even make it last week so it's been very rushed.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2337 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:45:15 am »

Looks good so far! Nice work.

Drauska · « **Reply #2338 on:** August 16, 2011, 06:48:04 am »

Very nice work!

Zensuke · « **Reply #2339 on:** August 16, 2011, 08:26:48 am »

Thanks. I spent so much time with the dremel tool on that yesterday that my hand hurt for like 3 hours from cramping up >.<

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #2340 on:** August 16, 2011, 09:38:18 am »

I started Stocking yesterday and I'm actually almost done. It's a very simple costume luckily, I'll post pics tonight once I finish it.
I got the rest of my wig for Euphie. So alls that left for her is the sleeves, which I wanna do today or tomorrow.
C2 is still like 2% away from being finished. I just need to take some things in. xP
I need to make the leg bands for Panty and attach her hearts then she's done as well.
I did start something new though that I might wear to k-con. I got some fabrics for Rapunzel from Tangled. I'll post the progress of that later tonight too (=

Everyone's stuff has been looking great by the way! (=

Zensuke · « **Reply #2342 on:** August 16, 2011, 11:50:07 am »

Drauska, you need to get some more pics up of your cross punisher. From what I saw it's much better than my first attempt.

Drauska · « **Reply #2343 on:** August 16, 2011, 11:56:51 am »

^ Well my phone that I used to take all my progress pictures was stolen last week out of my shopping cart.

I have some new pics with my new phone. I am going to put on the barrel before I post more pics. But I will post probably tomorrow night. Maybe sooner if I get really productive.

Zensuke · « **Reply #2344 on:** August 16, 2011, 01:30:22 pm »

I just uploaded a progress video of my sword on youtube which gives a better idea of it's size.

Chromophobic · « **Reply #2345 on:** August 16, 2011, 01:52:55 pm »

Well seems I won't be Sebastian anymore (I hate it when my cosplay plans change so rapidly...) because one of my friends had a complete fit that I was going to be him and she was going to be him too, and I did not want to deal with the over-exaggerated drama crap especially since the con is so close (Though something to fight over like Cosplay is rather idiotic and stupid). I already have dealt with one person dropping out of my group going SO I don't need more stress............

ANYWAY, So this is what my line up will be. Sorta....:
Day 1: Axel or Riku (haven't decided)
Day 1 Rave: Raver Axel
Day 2: Axel or Riku (haven't decided)
Day 2 Dance: Marluxia in a ball gown (Yeah. I'm not gonna waste a full cosplay I worked on just because there isn't a ball this year)

All my cosplays are 100% done *victory dance*. So now, I have to focus on fixing my school schedule since my school is retarded.........

Drauska · « **Reply #2346 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:49:13 pm »

sis just go as Sebastian....you've worked so hard on that cosplay. You don't have to wear it on the same day. Do Riku one day, then sebastian the other day and your secret cosplay on day 3. You can also bring your Axel and do a change in my "dressing room"

XXXOOO

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #2347 on:** August 16, 2011, 02:50:49 pm »

I just spent like four hours hemming the bottommost skirt of my Diamond Crevasse dress by hand. I still have like a yard to go. Since it's a light-ish colored matte satin, machine topstitching would show really badly so I'm hemming the entire thing in by hand. There are still small pintucks where the catch stitches of the invisible hem I'm doing are which is really annoying but it's better than a giant line of thick stitches.

Also I fiberglassed parts of my Kingdom Key yesterday and when I'm done watching this episode of Ao no Exorcist I'm going to go do some more on it.

ichigo_m. · « **Reply #2348 on:** August 16, 2011, 03:12:29 pm »

Alright so I styled my Euphie wig, and here is also what I have done so far for Stocking.

God, my room is an absolute mess now from all the sewing I've done in the last 24 hours... xP
More progress will be up tonight (=

Drauska · « **Reply #2349 on:** August 16, 2011, 03:14:04 pm »
