yeah I started playing the violin in 2nd grade, and then in 5th I took piano lessons for a year but the piano had to be given back to the people that let us borrow it, and I have been in chior since 7th grade. Now I have a keyboard (got it for christmas) and I have to relearn it >.< its tough

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #401 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:08:16 pm »

Lucky. My brother got to learn how to play violin when we still lived in Portland. But then we moved down to Eugene, and our music department is pretty...baren... haha

Black~Rose · « **Reply #402 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:14:41 pm »

well my violin broke and we never got it fixed because I became more interested in the piano >.< Violin is a difficult instrument, but it was pretty fun.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #403 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:19:31 pm »

it looks like it. lol

Black~Rose · « **Reply #404 on:** May 18, 2009, 05:25:01 pm »

the string broke when I was tuning it >.< The funny part is that, if I remember correct, the string that broke was the G-string XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #408 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:18:07 pm »

Like the new icon, so far the riku looks great.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #409 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:24:34 pm »

Thanks! xD I'm hoping to get my coat pretty soon. I love your Larxene expressions. >< It's almost scary how well you can play her. how are your Larxene kunai coming? You need to make...like eight, right? xD;;

nikkiolie · « **Reply #410 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:35:33 pm »

Thanks, I love that picture. The kunai are alright. One is done and looks great but the others aren't quite there yet. The other blades aren't straight so I am working on those.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #411 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:38:44 pm »

Now I can't wait to see them! Pictures soon, hopefully?

nikkiolie · « **Reply #412 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:51:35 pm »

It wont be till Friday, they are in Portland and I am in Corvallis. I will put some more resin over them then sand them down. I may get some tack paper and glue that on before hand....we'll see.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #413 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:53:26 pm »

xD Well, at least they sound durable.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #414 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:54:19 pm »

Yeah that is true. I am very happy with the way the one turned out, though it is hard to paint on a gradient x.x

Syd-chan · « **Reply #415 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:55:50 pm »

Dx Ouch. What kind of paint are you using?

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #416 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:56:00 pm »

>.< Painting is haaard... XD

Syd-chan · « **Reply #417 on:** May 18, 2009, 09:58:03 pm »

xD I always seem to mess it up. ;;>> Speaking of which. I need to finish my keyblade. Dx So close to being done. Although I now have no idea what I'll be using it for. o.<

nikkiolie · « **Reply #418 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:06:53 pm »

painting isn't that hard but gradients are x.x I need it to go from blue to yellow in a relatively smooth way, I think I was able to do that well enough.

veraca · « **Reply #419 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:35:20 pm »

Sponges + rags help hand gradients a lot. I've seen my mom do it with her oils.

If I have to, I'll bump another costume out of the way to be Roxas this year if only JUST to have that keyblade XD I gotta buy the wood first of course, but I can't do that until I'm home. x_x I'm so itching to do it already - and fix my bed. I also got these awsome pants for Roxas, so I might not wear the ones I originally planned to.. I'll have to see how it all looks together. Cause pant choice 1 equals boots, but pant choice 2 needs my sneakers instead... @.@ Hrm... Least that devil hat's done.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #420 on:** May 18, 2009, 10:41:39 pm »

I can try using a sponge. I'll practice on a some things first

I was also going to make a card as a prop

veraca · « **Reply #421 on:** May 18, 2009, 11:11:23 pm »

oO Like a toy car or a real car? XD Making a real car a prop'd be cool- just like last year's Turk group had the Shinra car xD And it was peacebonded~

I think I know what I'm gonna do for a shirt with those pants. Took the *crappy* arms off my org xiii cloak and shortened them a tad with folding them over + glue xD After they dry I'll take red ribbon to them for lacing so they make arm wraps. And then for the shirt, I saw a good guy's shirt at BigLots yesterday for like 2$ that I'm going to go snag. I can put ribbon in it too, since I have so much extra xD
Then maybe paint something in white with nail polish if I can find where I put it. Might've taken it home in that last round xD

Sayda · « **Reply #422 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:32:07 am »

I know my Roxas made her Keyblade out of duct tape and.. ah.. I forget what else. But it was a sort of hard paper that she bought at Michaels. It turned out really nicely, too. So you don't always need to make it out of wood. It'll be a lot lighter, too. And trust me, carrying around something made out of wood gets tiring easily. I carried my Chakrams around at Sakuracon all three days, and they were made out of wood.

But it turns out we're gonna have a mini group this year of Kingdom Hearts! Not too big. A Sora, Riku, Namine, and a Kairi. Plus us as Axel and Roxas. We might do a skit, or something. But we might save that for Akicon, too. XD

nikkiolie · « **Reply #423 on:** May 19, 2009, 08:36:30 am »

Sorry fixed now, I meant to say card seeing how Larxene is in chain of memories

I see how it is Marie, you wont hang out with my group but you will make your own.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #424 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:22:21 am »

I've been replaced?!? D8 *goes to emo corner*

nikkiolie · « **Reply #425 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:24:00 am »

I know! That's ok you can hang out with me *pat pat*

Sayda · « **Reply #426 on:** May 19, 2009, 11:17:50 am »

It's not an official group, our friends from Canada asked us if we wanted to maybe do a skit with them either at Kumoricon, or Akicon, so we said sure.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #427 on:** May 19, 2009, 12:19:26 pm »

I see how it is

I'm just playing with you.

veraca · « **Reply #428 on:** May 19, 2009, 12:25:40 pm »

xDDD That's why I'm the lone Roxas hanging with two random other cosplayers always lol I'm always alone with them.

Yeah, I don't want to do wood cause it'll be heavy, but it'll last a lot longer. The foam one I made needs to be repaired before anything is done with it x_x Sides, the keyblade I plan to make is the Pumpkinhead - and that stupid bat at the end of it needs to be wood or else it'll probably break off x_x Dang Tim Burton ish design.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #429 on:** May 19, 2009, 12:27:04 pm »

That would be a sweet design though. O.O I just though of something! If we have a Christmas Party it should be Christmas Town themed XD

Sayda · « **Reply #430 on:** May 19, 2009, 12:42:40 pm »

Haha I figured.

@ veraca - Actually, the stuff my Roxas used is really durable. She drew out the design, then cut it out about 4 - 5 times for thickness, placed them all together and covered it in colored duct tape. It's lightweight, looks good in photos and is almost impossible to break.

veraca · « **Reply #431 on:** May 19, 2009, 12:49:38 pm »

@ Sayda : I dunno.. The Kingdom Key I have already is wood and I doubt I'll make the other one heavier. The only thing I think it'd need to do is maybe wrap the handle with fabric or something to be a bit more comfy if I can't make it a circle.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #432 on:** May 19, 2009, 01:46:49 pm »

It could be worse, my friend has one that is made out of metal x.x

Sayda · « **Reply #433 on:** May 19, 2009, 03:30:54 pm »

Well, whatever works for you! I would remake my Chakrams, but the only thing that's wrong with them is that they're heavy, which isn't a good enough reason. XD They look really nice otherwise.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #434 on:** May 19, 2009, 04:12:24 pm »

Sayda: ...friends from Canada? XD If you don't mind my asking, are you talking about Uchihayuna and her group? Like FDP? D8 I had no idea they were going to Kumoricon.

Sayda · « **Reply #435 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:00:06 pm »

That would be them. XD Twin and Yuna! Do you know them too? And yeah, they're going to Kumoricon! We asked them to, cause we didn't get to hang out much as Sakuracon. We were gonna go to AE with them, but we can't afford it, so they decided to come to Kumoricon. X3

FFFXD I love FDP. o.< I mean, I'm not a rabid fangirl of them or anything, but I definitely admire their costumes and their skits. I've never actually met them, but I'm always saying I'll get up to Sakuracon or Anime Evolution to meet them one day. Pfff, wow. xD KumoriCon feels a little bigger now. [/cough] I'm totally going to have to meet up with them.

8D So glad you're their Axel and PhantomThief [xD Because I only know her dA name] is their Roxas! xD I saw it on one of Yuna's dA journals, but I wanted to make sure.

Sayda · « **Reply #437 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:35:03 pm »

Haha. Ah yeah I actually had no idea who they were. I'd never heard of FDP until after Sakuracon. So I was definetly clueless. XD I bumbarded them and demanded candy from them. Haaaah.

I actually had no idea what they were planning until they told me the other day. x.x; I guess Roxas knew before I did. Oh btw, her name on here I believe is PlaidPatch. DX

Syd-chan · « **Reply #438 on:** May 19, 2009, 05:46:16 pm »

XD Best way to meet someone, way I see it.

FFXD "hey, we're going to KumoriCon, you're our Axel" kind of thing? At least they didn't tell you like...the week before the convention or something. PlaidPatch? xD Fffff, I'll need to search that later.

Sayda · « **Reply #439 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:16:23 pm »

Yup!

Haha, well it was more like "We were wondering if you and Roxas wanted to hang out at maybe do a skit for Kumoricon or Akicon. We talked to so and so, etc." And before that, one of their friends was telling me about the group, and I was like "Huh? Group?" XD

Syd-chan · « **Reply #440 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:31:06 pm »

XD Pff, well that's a better way to ask. At least now you know! >D Knowledge is power?

Sayda · « **Reply #441 on:** May 19, 2009, 06:58:35 pm »

It sure is.

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #442 on:** May 19, 2009, 09:08:21 pm »

LAWL sauce. That's basically how it was with me, Tifa and Sakura Con.

Friend: Oh, hey. Wanna go to Sakuracon?
Me: Sure! When is it?
Friend: April!
Me: ....It's March...
Friend: I know!
Me: ........*implodes*

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #443 on:** May 20, 2009, 03:29:58 pm »

I think mine's worse...

*friend calls me up*
Friend: You wanna go with me to S-con?
Me: Um, sure. When is it?
Friend: In two days. Oh! And it's 60 bucks.
Me:O_O

veraca · « **Reply #444 on:** May 20, 2009, 07:57:18 pm »

lol I've tried to do that to my friend, but no one can cover for her at work.

*stabbing sewing machine* This thing is going to die! I don't even know what I'm doing wrong cause I've never used one T.T

nikkiolie · « **Reply #445 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:00:52 pm »

Yeah lots of things go wrong, I would ask someone who does know how to use one. Someone who can physically be there to look at it.

veraca · « **Reply #446 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:24:57 pm »

T-T As far as I know, only JoAnn is the nearest people who'd know how to fix it. Otherwise, a hammer and a short flight to the burn pile behind my house as soon as I get home.
All I know is the needle isn't picking up the bobbin thread from below, so I spent 2 hrs getting it up there myself through the hole and it's still not picking it up, so I've tried different twists and junk to get it to work and it still won't. Death to the sewing machine. It's okay, it was only 14$ and wanted to test seeing how I liked it, but it messed up so quickly >>;

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #447 on:** May 20, 2009, 09:53:06 pm »

well I know with mine, you thread the needle, then put the bobbin in the compartment below it. Then you have to put the thread from the bobbin through this... hook device which is really just a mini chink in the metal.. and pull it up. Then I turn the dial that manually lowers my needle and make it go down, then back up. The thread from the bobbin catches and is pulled up. I just have to separate the two after that. Sometimes if I don't do the bobbin part right it won't catch...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #448 on:** May 20, 2009, 10:10:43 pm »

Yeah that is the thing I seem to have the most problems with as well x.x

K-Rock-InC · « **Reply #449 on:** May 20, 2009, 10:29:31 pm »

Yeah, I took a sewing class, so it's kind of second nature to me now. Thank god I don't have the same kind my school does or else I'd be wanting to throw it against the wall and set it on fire. (a friend of mine and I said that every time the damn things jammed up on us. lol it became our own little joke.)
