=_= ruined Kidds coat my sis had such faith in me but I fucked it up so bad! cries you can't fix short sleves == even if we're short cries damn it all wants to just hide in shame
ugh =___=
@Youshi:
I fail and I can't remember if I ever posted pictures of this, but they are poor, poor progress photos of my Calgara cosplay. It sort of all began to come together in the past few weeks, but these are still just shitty in progress phone cam pictures.
Mostly of the unfinished wig and the first draft of the wings (which are getting redone).
Remember, the wig is unstyled and doesn't have the third wig sewn into it yet. (I did some serious wig sewing.)
The bodysuit should be done within a few weeks as should the wig and the grass skirt. The spear too. Got my body paint in. =3
So how about that Calgara cosplay, gais?
I, for one, am looking forward to seeing this one done since you are putting a lot of work into it! First chick to cosplay him, that's gotta say something.

-pats- Are you sure you messed it up beyond repair?? What did youmess up and how???
well I'm trying to cover up what I cut too short with Kidds cuffs on his sleeves x___x; if it can be saved I will rejoice but if not well x___x; er… she only has ONE arm in there anyways... xD;;
but yeah I cut it laying flat, the sleeve, in a straight line apparently I should've cut it at an angle... =__= slaps self
and Youshi's Calgara is going to look AMAZING! I hope she'll post a full size pic with the pants since those looked epic in person n__n Also... I hope since she's working so damn hard and all on it that she'll wear it more than once ;3;
I'm also looking forward to maybe some progress pics for Conis and Robin when you guys get more done on them!! I'm excited n___n it'll probably be the first time you two have cosplayed as girls at the same time in a One Piece group! Unlike myself since I never do O_o;
lol well you know what they say if at first you don't suceed try, try again. Although how short is too short????
Put up some pictures, maybe we can come up with some ideas to help.

but atlest kidd is petable pets
Unlike your Drake you dino hooker
OMFG I promise to GOD their will be Kidd cosplay progress pics ASAP!!!! His sleeves have been corrected and are effing accurate and GREAT O_O they are sooo much nicer than we had hoped XDDDD
Calgara made some wig progress. It's poofy and spiky in the front now. Began work on my grass skirt too.
Sadly, no full body shots of the pants and such until the bodysuit is done, which may be a few weeks.
Let's see some Kidd progress!
a few weeks and it'll be A-Kon xDD I hope you get everything done by then ;3; is stressing out totally herself x___x; I've probably spent.. more like… 13 or more hours on Kidds coat >__> 8 hours just YESTERDAY dies maybe more... cause yesterday all I did was the sleeves... before that I had to actually cut the coat out, line it.... and hem it Dx so yeah 13 hours probably... isn't... right... either... xDD
but it's still NOT DONE RFGAKHGAKL!! But I can't wait to see the progress on your wig xD I actually was thinking since you posted there would be a pic ;3; bwaaah!! I really can't wait n__n
I can't wait to see some progress pics. Coral and Moon, your costumes are so amazingly accurate and great. Your Buggy and Iceburg are the best I've seen so far. XD I can't wait to see Calgara too! So many talented people here, I'm so jealous. ;D
Added the buttons and fur trim on the Jubia/Llluvia coat. Just need to add the fur trim on the capelet and maker her ghost. Then her outfit is done and I just need to find an umbrella to alter.
Has anyone seen any decent Kidd cosplayers out there? I'm going to cosplay him in a couple of cons and I want to see what some others have done.
Hey IMustang, I'm doing a Kidd cosplay. I pity the fool who's gonna try and out beat me arrogant asshole here At least..I hope that's how it's going to turn out xD ahahahha
Will have progress pics SOMETIME this week, I hope I can get the wig cut the right length and styled. Need to get some model magic for his goggles though, cause I have everything else for them XD ahahaha I'm sooo glad it's coming together O_O
lol, you've got no competition my friend. I'm doing my Franky cosplay again at my next convention (July), and then I'll do a Kuma cosplay the next 2 cons after that. I won't even start working on Kidd until late 2010, lol
But I'd love to see your progress pics. I know this isn't going to be an easy cosplay… Franky wasn't a basket of roses either, but still easier than Kidd will be :P

OH I will so take a saw and cut the legs of that pedestal you are sitting on young lady! Hahaha naw I am just kidding, I am sure it will look great.
That reminds me, I really should start working on Bonny.
Ahahaha it's funny you say pedestal cause I honestly said I should bring a box to stand on for pictures..cause like.. I'm soooo dramatically shorter than everyone x_x;;
And yeah, I know I'll never be the BEST Kidd, but hell if I'm not a good contender xD It's all about how good the wig turns out though x_x;; the rest of the costume is turning out pretty nice XD My sister is a genious :3
Don't worry about your height! Just do some creative posing with everyone else! lol And I know your Kidd will turn out great.
Although, I am curious does your sister do most of the sewing?
hides Dx My sis is making her cosplay sound like it's going to be the best ever but I don't want anyone to think that cause then if it doesn't look like the most perfect cosplay on planet earth people will make fun of me ><;;; I just hope I can make it look good enough I won't embarass my sis or the character Dx; But thanks for the compliments sis ;; <3
also yes I do all of the sewing xD but in turn this time around my sis is helping me buy all the supplies x____x; well not ALL but a lot of them since my job comes and goes =__= damn temp work!
Also, OMFG Omnichild taht coat looks AMAZING O___O I really like the texture of the material and the shape of the coat! I so don't envy all those buttons you had to sew on! The cuffs look nice too n__n
and ps …... sorry I don't have any progress I kinda... don't want to take any pictures of the Kidd coat until I have the collar sewn on ==;; otherwise it looks so undone and shitty Dx I don't want anyone to see it that way ;;! And UGH I gotta be up at 4:30 am so I can't even work on anything >___< cries
hahaha I didn't sew those on.
Cause like your sister, I make someone else do all my sewing. And that someone is my husband. Although I do buy all the material and help plan it all out etc.
But I have been learning how to sew and have been working on a cosplay by myself. I am almost done with it and will be showing everyone soon!
ARRRGGHHH I wish I didn't have to work tonight Dx!!!! I wanna WORK ON STUFFFFF!!! ARGGHHHH xDDD

OH man..my Kidd coat is gonna KICK THAT JAPANESE COSPLAYERS ASS!!!! AHAHAHAHAAAA!!! That red is SOOO DAMN BRIGHT O_O I mean, kudo's, but still. Mine is gonna kick soo much ass :3 I'm glad I saw those now, I know what's been done ^^

you have the coolest husband. XD I don't think I know any guys that can use a sewing machine.
OH man.. a man that knows how to sew? I didn't know such a thing ACTUALLY existed O_O must be one of those rare ones xDD Still that's just.. soooo awesome.
Btw..can't wait to have Kidd's goggles and wig done..I want a new icon BADLY
hahaha yes my husband knows how to sew and he knows how to sew really well. He is almost perfect <3 He does all the sewing for the cosplays currently. Although he doesn't know how to do gatherings but I do. XD
But I am learning to sew! So soon, we will be kicking out several awesome cosplays!!!
Lol, i guess a man sewing is a bit rare. But I mean its not that hard. Iroha taught me and I've been doing great. I'm making everything from scratch(yes that means suit also) for Kizarus cosplay.
I'll show some pics for the marine coat. It's almost done. ^_^
Props to a man who sews. Hell, props to ANYONE who sews by hand. Also, omnichild, I'm loving your Jubia/Lluvia progress. Can't wait to see pics.
Has anyone cosplayed character that never got a color to go with it? I want to cosplay Trunks from DBZ but the Trunks in the Cross Epoch. Should I just wing it or hope they make an Anime version of the one shot?
@ JM: Thanks hun! I should have actually pictures of it up here in a couple weeks!
@ Toshiya: I say use the same colours as what he wore in the anime.
Toshiya, there's actually 2 color pages in cross epoch, that I'm pretty sure show everyone in the story.
EDIT:
Here's a link:
http://www.eastblue.net/picture/autre/cross%20epoch/big/cross_epoch_p18-19.jpg
Yea I found the color of it haha I guess the scans online dont have the colored pages up. I know I have the book somewhere in my house.
Alright I finished the coat, just need the final little details inside the coat.
But here's some progress.
!
:O awesome progress Kaizo!
HOLY SHIT.. that is fucking amazing.. starry eyes I love Kizaru soooo damn much xDDD GREAT progress on that coat so far o___o I'm very jealous I won't get to see this in person T____T
-starry eyes as well- That looks awesome! I am excited to see the whole costume now!
Den-den mushi looks a bit too huge for me, but coat looks great :3 Are you going to grow your own bear and sideburns?
Whoa that is looking good! You're going to be a badass Kizaru :O
Lol, thanks guys, yea im trying to achieve the badassness of Kizaru.
@AlinaJames: yea the den den mushi was a bit big, the super sculpey didn't bake the clay down enough so I just decided to keep it. At least its a more prominent prop. I got Kizarus Light sword and his shiny finger tip gun left still left to do.
OMFG Kaizoku ;3; I WISH TO GOD I could cosplay with you Dx!!!!!!! I'd LOVE to get my ass beat as Drake XDDD plus you're probably more than 6 ft tall xDDDDDD and I'm only 5 ft… dies
seriously that's going to be amazing T-T! as someone who sews I have NO IDEA how you made those cuffs SO BEAUTIFUL and perfect and the PAULDRONS!!!!! OMFG I know I spelled that wrong but ;__; they're... so... beautiful...
loooooovve the coat, I've been wanting to make one for so long, but lack the ability.
Well, I give props for Iroha for teaching me how to sew. It took at least 2 mock-up coats to get it down. Lol You should see the Buggy Coat im doing. It was a pain in the ass just to do the details of the cuff. Im trying to match my buggy cosplay to your greatness for I too have a fondness for flashy clowns.
I have a question, CoralSnake! You've probably been asked this a thousand times.. Out of sheer curiosity, did you have a blue wig that you stuck pigtails out of the hat for your Buggy costume? Or are those just strands that you sewed in/attached to the hat? I've been wondering that for a bit. :D
Also Kaizoku-Syn, that coat is raw-some.
I'm sure based on how epic your Kizaru coat is your Buggy coat will SPANK THE ASS off mine Dx!! I never did put the details on the cuffs… and my pauldrons are made of shitty plywood >____<;;; they snapped and look AWEFUL but it was the best Youshi and I could come up with Dx I whould've used foam and carved it like I did for Bellamy Dx
I wish your friend Iroha would help me lean better xD
OOOH EDIT!
WJMill actually xD I made the hat using a shitty ass pirate hat from a costume store and covered it and Youshi showed me how to use caulk... chalk? can't remember how to show it x___x; but we actually ordered one or two things of blue wefts for wigs and used the chaulk ...? spelling!!! xD; used that to glue up the ends and then I sewed them INTO the hat where I left holes xD and used excess of the wefts for the side burns x3
I dunno if that helps but don't spirit gum fake side burns into your REAL hair Dx;;;; IT HURTS LIKE A BITCH to take out and I fucking LOVE YOUR ICON ;3; <3
and ps ... nobody has ever asked me that xD I'm flatted x3
Hehehe thanks! And really no one has asked? :O The hat looks awesome for a re-done shitty ass costume store hat.
Ohhhh I know all about Spirit gum :( I was Aunt Sponge in James and the Giant Peach in HS and I had this hideous fake nose they glued on. It was awful XD I've also had a mic headset.. thinger gummed to the side of my face :( Yay for theatre! But they do say beauty is pain. ;D
oh luckily my hat looks amazing and not shitty like the FUGLY hat I used >__>; I used the same hat Actually for my Drake hat xDD er one like it O__O Now I have a Buggy hat and a Drake hat xD
and wow I've had a nose glued on too but it was for Usopp xD probably not as bad as the James and the Giant Peach one O__O but… uh... I LOVE that movie xD
Are you going to AX Coral? It would be cool to see your Buggy in person.
Damn I wish I had something to contribute… I'm way behind on working on One Piece costumes. Kaizoku you know I think you did an awesome job on your coat. You can have my official seal of approval if you want :D God I can't wait for AX - although I'll probably change my tune when it gets closer and there's STILL so much to do...
Since we're sharing info about how to do stuff, I can post more about making epaulets (shoulder things) and other stuff. Might make up for my lack of progress pictures :P
I can't wait to see how Drake will turn out Coral. XD

COSPLAY SEWING TUTORIALS, YES. I approve. :3
I did cosplay once (For Halloween..) It was a mega failure due to lack of anime community at the college I used to go to.
Anyway here are some awful pictures. I don't have a real full body shot mostly because I was embarrassed to ask my roommate at the time to take one for me. -.-

I did go through a Narutard phase, I'll admit. Sakura seemed like a viable and easy to do option for me. I had the hiteate and I bought the toe-less boots online. I found an old bridesmaid or prom dress thinger at Salvation Army and had my grandma sew me up a costume. No one really got it though so it was kinda lame. I had fun I guess. It would have been funner if other people had done it with me. I still wore the costume all day though. D:<
HAIR SQUIRRELS! Pigtails are now setting up for Marigold.
