You're working hard enough sis! I need to work harder ;____; Damn being sick the last week.
General Cosplay Thread

I have just sewed two pair of socks! Ugh, I am losing my cosplay motivation. Hopefully everyone else is dong better.
-
I should be in bed now..but.. all I can think about is how my Sanji wig should be arriving today and I wanna try it on ;____;
And JM.. holy crappola XD You sewed some SOCKS??? That's sooo awesome xDDDD That's a pretty good idea if you can't find what you're looking for anywhere.
My god.. I should of been in bed HOURS ago.. x______x;;;
-
I have no problem buying a wig… it's just I was wondering if there was a simple alternative. Not stubbornness... just looking for suggestions >.> The bible is orange in the manga, but purple in the anime. I guess it could be rather easy to make, especially if I spray it purple.
Anyone have tips for Buu? I'm totally clueless about almost all of it ^_^,
-
Bri is working on finishing up Sandersonia for me right now. Still don't really want to wear her though! Bri is so lucky I love her.
-
Go to bed MOON! NOW!
and JM you are win for sewing socks cause I've tryed and failed miserably
-
It was a pair of long socks and a pair of tabi socks . I'm just so glad I don't have to buy tabi socks, because they're all overpriced, and way too big for my feet anyway.
iMustang, since Buu is all pink, I'd suggest using a good makeup on your face, and then a bodysuit for the rest. You'll likely want to try finding a bodysuit that also has a hood or goes around the head, so you can do the piece on Buu's head.
-
why are socks hard to sew? (non sewer here. i'm curios)
-
They weren't too hard, just took a long time. I find that pants are much more difficult.
-
@Mustang:
Pink zentai suit. You can get them on ebay for relatively cheap, and they're usually custom made to order. As for makeup, I agree with JM. Get some good paint. Ben nye works well, and a small pot (about $3.50 last time I bought one) will be more than enough to cover your face. -
I know this isn't related to cosplay directly, but do One Piece gatherings/fans constantly break out into Bink's Sake at cons? I haven't been to one since I got into One Piece but I want to know because that would be SO AWESOME.
BROOK COSPLAYERS GOING TO FANIME: YOU BETTER KNOW THE LYRICS
-
binks sake is fairly new, so I doubt it. also, i don't think OP is the most popular anime in NA? that's a good idea though. I should memorize it.
-
When my sister was cosplaying Sogeking.. a random con-goer in an Elevator started singing the Sogeking theme song.. and by the time we all got off the elevator everyone was singing it.. sooo priceless… xDDDD
I don't know Binks sake.. and since it's come out I haven't been to a con.. soo.. not on my end XD
My Sanji wig came in the mail too xDDDDD Gotta try and make it look good now O_O I'm gonna cross my fingers guys x_x;
-
Yayy for sanji wig, you must send me a pic from you phone!!
-
Woot~ I finally have some progress pictures to post. I've been waking up early every day to sew before work. Then sewing after work. Personally I'd rather quit my job and sew all day.
[HIDE]
Hiruma jacket is done, but I have to style the wig and test fit the teeth… and get a bazooka ;D
Yay for double welt pockets with special lining:
Hina jacket is mostly assembled but needs some handstitching on the lapels/collar (HATE HATE HATE), hems, hooks/eyes, oh yeah and I need to make pants like NOW. FML… but at least the jacket fits.
[/HIDE] -
Iroha I love the teal coat, especially the lining.
MoonNeko, good luck with the Sanji wig.
-
I know the Bink's Sake lyrics (in english)… but then again I wrote my own translation of it to the tune of the japanese version. It's the only male fandub of it on youtube if I'm not mistaken.
-
do you just have vampire teeth for hiruma!! I've been looking everywhere for teeth for him and gave up cause all his teeth are pointy, and all I can find is vampire teeth. (just the 4 points) if you actually found teeth with all points you have to tell me where you got them!!!!!
-
I got a set of small vampire teeth (cause the big ones just look goofy), and I'm planning to use those in combination with tooth blackening makeup to make my own teeth appear smaller/more pointed. My teeth are kinda big anyway, there's not a lot of room in my mouth to fit lots of fake teeth :/ Plus anytime you do that, you end up lisping… not badass at all.
There's a company called Dental Distortions that does full veneer sets but most of their stuff looks more horror movie than "naturally pointy." I've also seen pictures of good results from people cutting up fake fingernails and gluing them to their teeth with denture glue. -
i'll see how your technique turns out. I can always try it some other year. i bet that dental distortion place is expensive. you know, I saw a lot of hick teeth, and other ugly teeth. there must be something about ugly teeth. there's so many of them out there. yet no all spikey teeth. that just seems so dumb.
-
OH MY GOD IROHA.. the football lining is sooo something Hiruma would have XD I have no clue how you made those jackets sooooo amazing o___o and I am soo very envious of your tiny skinny legs ;___; wahhhh
-
Lissssaaaa~
I must clarify: I am making you just the tanktop and armwarmers or is there something else?
-
It's looking like all my efforts towards my Paulie cosplay have gone to naught; I don't have the time or money to finish. Maybe you'll see me in it at AX and I'll definitely be taking pictures of all of you at Fanime.
-
@Youshi:
Lissssaaaa~
I must clarify: I am making you just the tanktop and armwarmers or is there something else?
ya. the leg warmers :) I gots the chopper hat and shorts. thankie. ^^ I can't wait to see. I owe ya one…but I guess that;'s what the money is for.
I'm not too worried about it fitting, but if you want, I'm 5'4". I usually buy small shirts, and got a B cup. I'm a little thing, so whatever you sew, it should fit.
-
Why is it that the item you thought would be the easiest to find, always tends to be the opposite? I need a pair of white canvas sandals, with just one strap over the top of the foot. I saw millions in stores last summer, and can't find one pair now. I found something that would work, but I am not spending $40+ on a pair of sandals. Does anyone have any idea where to look. I've searched ebay, payless, DSW Shoe Warehouse..etc.
Thanks
Maybe I can post an in progress pic tomorrow…if Youshi's up for it.
-
You could always take some pictures of your costumes yourself if she isn't wanting to? That's what I do if I REALLY want pictures of my costume and can't wait xD Plus my hours are messed up from my sis's so sometimes I'm alseep while she's awake x_x; hahahah She takes pics of her stuff without me ALL the time, so it's possible!
-
can ya post a pic of what you mean crickey. if one of us sees something, we will pick it up for you. how much you wanna spend. $20. oh ya, and shoe size.
-
I know it's somewhat.. late but I'm hoping my sis and I can work on some stuff tonight!!! I'm gonna try and work on the Sanji wig!! XDDD GAHHHH SOOOO EXCITED!!!!
-
was excited before mom said we can't dye the wig in the house and it's night time and going to rain for the next entire week UGH cries I can't seem to get anything done it's so frustraiting I'm giong to pull my hair out Dx
-
Your mom pisses me off, guys. Sorry. =\ She treats you guys like babies.
-
We're back from ACen… the gathering was way too large for the tree area now! The panel room had enough seats for about 100-150 and it was full. Huzzah!
-
Scout cosplay is coming together
!
! -
OMG Spork… is that... your room O___O WOW I thought mine was a mess... no seriously mine is probably more of a mess but atleast I'm not alone xD you look GREAT O__O WOW ... why can't I bind myself that nicely... stabs at boobs
and yes... unfortunately I hate that we have some limitations here but we generally get it pretty good but UGH Dx still... wanted to dye the WIG whines some more as if it'll help anything
-
That's my living room. My roommate and I are both cosplayers. So the apartment is pretty much in a constant state of "Cosplay hell". There's a wig on top of the microwave because there was no where else to put it.
I use a binder from T-Kingdom. They rock.
-
Then..why don't those damn things bind these D cups? pity face xDDD No actually.. I don't know if this is possible, but I think my tits stretched my boob binder out.. for reals.. and now.. like.. my boobs have shrank and it won't bind me.. at all T___T WAHHHHHHHHH I need a new one but I cannot afford to get it before Akon.. and there's no time for it to get here xDDD
I live with a cosplayer too.. HUGS SIS xD Ahahahahahaaaaa Our rooms are disaster areas.. oh shit.. xDDD
Dude.. I think I have that same black hat.. or something similar to it xDDDD
-
my room was a bit of a mess yesterday. then i cleaned it up. then i got half my packing done for Akon. lol I should go see how big a mailing tube is. If I can fit it in my luggage then I can bring down e1n's artwork for people.
-
Moon Neko, if you're just pressed for time and can't get a binding shirt, just look for the large 6" ace bandages. I'm a 32DD, and I can get them down pretty good with usually 2 of those bandages. I've also had a lot of years doing it though; so if you're going to do this method, I will stress the importance of practicing so that it can be done safely. Nobody wants cracked ribs.
Here's another wip of my samurai Luffy.
[hide]
I finished the socks, and am waiting for my shoes in the mail. I can't get anything else done, unfortunately, until next week. This week is finals.

Well cant say I blame mommy for that, I agree dying in house would leed to it getting on something and staining, and that is never good
but even if you dont dye it ine the next few days we can wait til I get up there and we can cause and giant mess out back
not to mention attaching your duval sections
looks at room
My room is a mess but all my cosplay stuff is hidden. . . or in the other room -

[/hide]O___O WOW.. I would of NEVER THOUGHT THAT.. you are REALLY the master of binding JM!!!! I will try your method, anything is worth trying at this poing x_x;
GREAT progress on that awesome Luffy so far xDD GAHHH It makes me sooo excited!!! I can't wait to actually work on something ;___;
-
this isn't cosplay related, but does binding help with back pain for large breasts?
-
I'm not really sure about helping with back pain, I'm afraid. Getting a really good bra will help a bit though.
Thanks MoonNeko. Also, the compression shirts are pretty awesome. I think the ace bandage method is really good, but if you have the cash to shell out for a shirt, I've seen them used with really good results.
-
i just have a friend with really big boobs. just wondering if it would help her. she has to wear 2 bras for support. @_@
-
Maybe get something similar to a girdle that's mainly for lower back support? I don't know what those things are called, but something similar to what weight lifters use so they don't throw out their backs. But instead of a weight lifting one, just a general use one.
-

I love my shirt.. but I had to butcher it so that I could wear a slightly peach shirt on top. Sadly I don't possess the skills yet to make a super buff shirt XD though once I learn I may have to try..though.. I have super flabby girl arms and so.. I'd have to get them into shape before I'd wear the super ripped shirt once I learn how to make them, but yeah xD My boob shirt is AWESOME, It's just too big now ;__; So I transformed it into a like.. strapless bra.. xD ahaha there goes 60 bucks. I'll definately be trying the bandages though, I wanna see how that works! I was told today by my mom I have a guys build from behind. AHAHA.. ahaha.. haaaa.. it was a bit sad but funny. I personally think I walk like a gorilla, but that's just me XD
and oh my god.. my sis and I just realized.. Usopp's shoes for Shabondy arc are.. gray..
Well.
We have a gray pair of shoes..haha.. but.. a LONG time ago I replaced the laces with.. Rainbow Laces.. PFFFFTTTTT.. xDDDDDD
I'd post a pic but my sis JUST fell asleep and I'm following in suite.. pfft.. Rainbows.. I'll PROBABLY replace them.. I don't think Kyra would approve of rainbows..though.. it would be funny.. XDDDDDDD
-
I totally have a girl's build, all the way. But apparently I walk like a dude. Whatever that means.
And I have the same issue with Impel Down Buggy's shoes. I went from thinking they were boots, to thinking they were slip-ons, to finding a shot where they look like slippers! I've already bought three pairs of shoes for this costume, which is supposed to be my EASY costume.
-
Ahaha I know how THAT feels x_x; I usually end up getting stuck as characters wearing uncomfortable things where I thought I would be okay. The only EASY part about Sanji at the time was that I didn't have to wear a wig XD The suit was suffocating, and I never really did have a jacket, only the blue shirt and a vest o___o One day I SWEAR TO GOD I want to cosplay Sanji and actually DO his actual normal outfit XD ONE DAY!!!
and HOLY SHIT.. you are doing Impel Down Buggy? OH MY GOD.. my sis and I contemplated doing Impel Down.. she wanted to do Buggy and I wanted to do Mr.3.. Ahahaha I wonder if that'll ever happen? xDDDD
-
We're actually having a small group at AX. Right now we have Buggy, Bon Clay, Mr. 3, and possibly Mr. 1 if he can still make it this year. I'm pretty excited, cos I heard rumor of a potential Inazuma and Iva-sama. <3
-
Kidds pants are a NIGHTMARE weeps will I ever get done Dx
ps I'm sure I'm doing the hardest possible way known to man doing them too x__x; sharpie… I refuse to use paint... don't have the patience >__>; guess I'll edit this and post a picture made of fail because this is how little progress I have on them buu.
!
bah Dx I fail… I hope they'll work though and OMG O__O that second pic is so fucking washed out... what's wrong with my camera Dx;;;; -
I am gonna sooo rock it OUT as Kidd xD ahahahaahaaaaaa!!! They don't suck, they look FINE. And seriously.. if someone is close enough to my crotch and legs to see little places that are not perfect..they'd better buy me a drink =_=;; That is TOO DAMN CLOSE.
And JM that is freakin' AWESOME XD I wish we could find people like that in Texas =_=; completely ignores Oklahoma ALTOGETHER My sis and I pretty much make our friend dress up with us against her will XD We assign her something and she complies, we can't seem to get anyone else interested in like a massive SuperNova group XD One day maybe :D You guys are gonna be amazing, I can just feel it xDDDDDD
-
I actually have one friend who wants to cosplay misato this year, but she is so busy she has literally no time to hit the thrift stores. I'm wondering if she will be able to dress up at all. Anime north is the weekend before Akon.
and then there is my guy friend, who, is a nice guy, but is totally lame when it comes to costumes. He nicely suggested I go shop for panties for my Nadia costume. I flipped out on him and told him that was completely moronic. When I bought the furry skirt for chopper, he asked me why I don't just wear the skirt as is, for chopper. facepalm
He says it would be cool if he could dress up as Al from FMA. He asked me last week if I thought doing paper mache with chicken wire sounded good. -_- He is a nice guy, but I don't wanna cosplay with him. Thank god he is too busy to take on a massive project like that anyways.
