@ Coral: I agree with your sis, they look fine. And if someone is close enough to you to see flaws, they definitely need to be buying you drinks or something. I can't wait to see the finished project.

CoralSnake, those pants are looking good so far. I think paint would've been a much, much longer process. In pictures, it'll look solid anyway.
And yeah, I really hope our group comes together! I dreamt last night that I was at AX, and I had forgotten all my crap, including Buggy's wig. I hate cosplay dreams, cos they always involve me forgetting stuff!
-
OMG I have nightmares like that all the time JM Dx I either forget the WHOLE costume, or just enough so I can't wear it without looking stupid.. I hate them! Then I wake up and gather everything together to remind myself not to forget ANYTHING. I was just thinking 'wouldn't it be aweful if I forgot my mask for Drake?' oh yes it would goes and puts it inside the hat xDD;;; btw… I am invious of the little Impel down group you're putting together ;____; I wanna cosplay Inazuma SO BAD you have NO IDEA... I just know someone skinny and tall would do a MUCH better job xD; but seriously... TAKE TONS OF PICTURES O___O I wanna see your impel Buggy SO BAD!!!!
and thanks guys for the compliments on the pants!!! It gives me confidence to work on them more since I still have 3 other sides to do and no offense sis but I KNOW there's more material on the back side cries
-
Dude, I dreamt once that all my wigs reverted back to their original state, and I had to redo them all in the con hotel. Another time I had a dream that I forgot one of my OP costumes and had to try and remake it out of hotel materials (towels, pens, toilet paper, etc). Last year though, I actually did forget my Absalom hat, which still irritates me to this day.
And don't worry, I plan on taking so many pictures at AX. NOW GO WORK ON YOUR PANTS.
-
OMFG that reminds me I need to get to work on Moria >> still don't even know where to start xD your Absalom was epic JM ;_; wish I could've seen it in person, hat or not hat xD
and yes O___O must get pants done… MUST
-
ahahah I hate cosplay dreams. I also always dream that I forget all or at least half of my stuff. I always wake up freaking out.
-
i've been freaking working 11-7 shifts all week. I was hoping to work on my cosplay. good thing we have a 3 day weekend this week. i gotta get everything done this weekend.
been having some troubles with the barrettes. hopefully the third time is the charm. uh, I had time to work on stuff this morning, but i'm kinda worn out. i think i'll go have a nap before work.
-
I got Satori's glasses just about finished. Once the paint dries on them, I can clean up my mistakes from the lenses and re-color them with a sharpie. Then I gotta find the glue gun and glue the red hair to the straw hat and I'll be all set for the mandatory accessories needed for Satori. Once I'm finished with those two accessories, I'll take pictures with me wearing them, though no official cosplay pictures until Anime Boston, in which I'll have all of the cosplay in my possession.
-
woot the front of the Kidd pants are done XDD like 5 sharpies later.. now for my punishment..I have to buy more sharpies.. ;___;
-
so you two, how high are you from those sharpies?
-
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;;;;Wow that is looking good for sharpies! I wish you luck, I'm sure they will turn out looking badass!
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
It never hurts to ask you know
-
@pirateneko:

If you guys are interested, by all means XD
-
gods if I was coming out to a texas con this year, I would totally be your Bonny as that is one I am slowly working on. But sadly I am going to Canada this year instead.
-
It's okay Mel. No one wanted to do my Skypiea group either.
But yeah, just ask! I simply don't have time or money at the moment, but never hurts to ask.
-
I want to do your skypia group.
and ooh a bonney cosplay. now that i know who she is, that sounds awesome. I feel a kindred spirit with her. (nickname hungrygirl)
-
I know, and your Chopper will be done very soon! It's sitting next to the sewing machine ready for sewing!
I finished sewing the snaps on the Conis dress just a few minutes ago, so OFFICIALLY I am done sewing on that dress.
Jacque is on her way over right now to work on the bodysuit. \o/ It's looking soooo good. Maybe I can get a picture of it in progress with the pants and the grass skirt. XD I love my lace up Rhinestone Cowboy pants. (OH BRANDEE.)
-
Alright, I have some more very wip pics to share for samurai Luffy. Despite it being finals week, and promising myself I wouldn't work on anything until Monday. OH WELL. Here you go guys, hope you like my progress.
[hide]
These are for the top layer of armor.The six on the bottom are for the lower half of that armor.
This is the top half of the armor, which will wrap around.
So yeah, lots of work left, but I'm pretty happy I managed to get some stuff done for this costume. I'm really excited to finish it.
[/hide] -
junkee, you must be mildly crazy to do all that beading, but it looks AWESOME. I can't wait to see more!
In other news, I am sweating bullets about Fanime. This weekend better be a productive one or else we're going to be finishing stuff in the car on the way there…
-
Thank you! I am quite crazy.
Also, I am so glad that I'm not stressing about Fanime this year, because finals really took up so much of my time this semester! Still, I'm so excited to see all the pics of OP cosplays people apparently have planned for Fanime. Good luck on your progress this weekend.
-
to Youshi… I wanted to be in your Skypiea group ;_____; I still hope you're going to try and put Eneru together for animefest cause I think we're still going to try to do the priests but since I don't know what kind of job I'm gonna have -_-;;; I can't even gurantee I'll get to GO to animefest or any more cons thanks to getting nagged for not having a job right now... >> urgh.
and I'm fine with our little shichibukai 3 xD we didn't really plan to put together any humongous group though... doing the supernovas at A-Kon is hopefully gonna be fun eeeeeee though that was more you know... wanting to make Drake than being in a group per se xD
also O__O JM... you are the goddess of patience... I would NOT have the patienc Dx
-
I want to do your skypia group.
and ooh a bonney cosplay. now that i know who she is, that sounds awesome. I feel a kindred spirit with her. (nickname hungrygirl)
XD I am hoping to have Bonny done in time for Otakuthon. She really is such a simple costume. But I want to lose at least another 15-20 pounds before wearing her around. So if not for Otakuthon, then definitely next ACEN.
I would wear her for Pokettokon…but that is in January. And winters in IL drop to below zero...and Bonny is practically naked! o.O
And I would love to see a whole Skypiea group. I have always wanted to do a Lavi or a Conis cosplay. I did the whole yellow tshirt version of Nami before. I even have a place around where I live that would be perfect for skypiea pictures.
@ JM: wow! That looks great so far hun! All those beads! I would have gotten mad and thrown them across the room by now!
-
Got two pieces of my Satori Cosplay more or less completed. The Straw Hat/Hair and the glasses.
!
My friend is doing the outfit itself, so yeah.
Also: Cosplay sponsored by Clorox Bleach shot
-
wow! That looks great so far! You are going to make an awesome Satori! I can't wait to see the finished product.
-
Oh shit you're gonna be the best Satori ever! XD
-
ok here is my Jubia. There are some things that could be approved upon. Like moving the buttons on the coat further over and redo-ing the wig so it stays curled better. But overall, I love how she came out.
Also boots are inaccurate because she wears thigh high boots if I remember correctly.
!
And just because this is my fave picture from ACEN.
!
-
oh snap.. we will have progress pics today, I can just FEEEEEEL it xDD WAHAHAHAAAA!!!
-
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i got some stuff done for the OTHER Supernova cosplay I'm working on for a friend EEEE!!!!! x3 so happy!!!! I need to keep happy and use my happiness to make more of it while I'm still in a good mood xD
-
@Omni: I don't know which character you are cosplaying, but i like the way that jacket looks. It looks like it'd be really hot though! That hat is cute too. XD
I can't wait to show you guys Conis, but Youshi says i have to wait till the wig is finished.
-
Okay.. Sanji wig is dyed along with part of my fingers somehow even through gloves. There was NOT enough color in there for a short wig as the website advertises.. but hell, I gotta work with what I got x_x;; wig is NOT completely done yet as it needs to be cut and styled, but.. it's colored for the most part. I don't know if I like the color or not.. but.. I dunno x_x; I'll post a pic later when it's dryer
-
@ Cricket: OH gods!!! I was dying in that thing! It is a wool blend fabric! It was just warm enough outside to make me melt.
-
Omni you look adorable in that!! It looks really good! Also, who was the Vanessa and Ryo in the second pic?
JM: HOLY SHIT. You freaking rock. That is just looking amazing, I am really looking forward to seeing this finished.
Mel and Misty: In general, if you guys ever want to do any small group or need someone, please do not hesitate to ask! Its funny, because I have a white pin striped shirt that I can (finally!) squeeze into because it is stretchy, that I can totally dye either blue or orange (hehehehe) If for whatever reason Mel didn't want to be Sanji, I think I'd give it a shot someday since black is very slimming XD
What groups DO you girls want to do?
-
I was the Vanessa actually. I have no idea who the Ryo was…some cosplayer I met at the shoot. He was cute and so much fun hanging out with though!
-
I am going to shit my pants whwn you finish Satori. XD XD OMG. LOL And then demand you come to like AFest when I wear Eneru.
Yes, planning on Eneru for AFest if things work out well for me. Hope and pray, hope and pray.
-
I can't even gurantee I'll be able to GO to animefest since I'm supposed to get a REAL job after A-Kon x____x; so for now I have no flipping clue. All I know is that for AnimeFest I WANT TO HAVE MORIA cause I wanted to have him last year and ugh didn't happen u__u; I really seriously wish I would know for sure =_=; sighs
and right now the only 'group' group… if you can call 3 of us a group xDDDD that we're wanting to cosplay is just Moria, Kuma, and Doflamingo because well O__O my sis has always wanted to cosplay Doflamingo, I wanted to cosplay Moria LAST YEAR and Lynn said she'd be Kuma so that's... all we got xD didn't plan to ask around for anyone else Shichibukai wise because uh O__O they're freaking complicated costumes from hell and I know a lot of people don't have a lot of time or money they would dedicate to a costume like that when it's not really something they want to do so that's why I didn't really ask anyone x__x; I mean all the shichibukai are complicated x___x;
though... if I wasn't doing Moria I swear to GOD I'd try to find a way to cosplay as Blackbeard T-T he's so awesome...
-
Yargh I would love to be in a cosplay group if I could find the time/money to make a costume and find a con and get to said con. Being in the middle of rural Minnesota freaking sucks. :(
-
@Youshi:

Yes, planning on Eneru for AFest if things work out well for me. Hope and pray, hope and pray.
I wish I could make it there, but that's not gonna be possible. I live in the FAR Northeast and, unless I manage to get money for a round trip plane ticket, lodgings, AND the convention itself, it'd be impossible.
But I do wish I could. If only you guys could come up to Anime Boston, Portcon Maine, or AAC.
-
There's nothing really worth Registering for at AKon, so that saves you some money. :D I'm just going to hang out. The majority of anime stuff is pretty boring anyway.
-
has just decided first girl cosplay I'll ever do
Ah now to go look for the dress . . . -

OH MY GOD.. that is sooo.. dam…TRUE.. SOOO TRUE! The only reason I registered this year is because I didn't even get to GO to Akon last year, so this year I just went all out.
And I swear.. there will BE PROGRESS PICS TODAY IF IT KILLS ME!!!!!! I swear.. there will be DX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think I may be brave and cut the Sanji wig and style it.. I totally have my figners crossed x_x;; ahahaha

I like that stuff like "guess the anime tune" etc. and I heard at Akon, the pannels don't actually suck, so maybe I'll pop my head in one or 2. Though at anime north, I've given up on the pannel rooms.
My incredible friend, Laura helped me by sewing up my vest with her sewing machine. I didn't think it would take that long. OMG. I was at her place half the day. I know It's nothing spectacular, like some other stuff on here, but I'm proud of it.
!
Now I just have to put the trim on the skirt, velcro the tube top, and do the barrettes. (those buggers are giving me troubles)
edit: crappy crap. it looks like it is going up at the back. I didn't cut and pin it very well I guess. :\ I got a lot to learn.
-
I think it's looking really good Captain Usopp xD And yeah.. I've never been to the panels at Akon, I never know when the hell anything is, and it's always sooo damn unorganized, but yeah xD I can't say how the panels are since I've never atteneded any.. xD
-
don't they give you a schedule of events at the door or something?
-
…I.. think maybe.. XDD I never pay attention to their schedule, I'm soo bad xD I just run around the con like a mad man. Plus this year Scuttlebutt will be back.. I'll be DAMNED if I don't go and oogle them and spend a 100 bucks on their badages and artwork.. especially if they're cosplaying One Piece for the first time in a long time.. I will die a happy girl.
-
I'm so jealous Captain Usopp has a neck… weeps xD my sis and i... our heads will barely peek out of the collars on our costumes xDDD damn you Kidd and Drake and your fucking fur collars.... and Sarquiss's pimpin collar... Dx!
I actually got shit DONE well mostly for Drake with Lynns help with the rivets ;_____; I owe her big time!!! I wish I could post progress but uh... not without a belt to hide my tummy xD and I have to remake it... DAMN YOU ANIME Dx and fuck I still have NO CLUE how I'm going to fill in and make belt buckles ;____; help?
-
gruu shakes fist darn you 2. "body image. com on" :) think happy thoughts. I wanna hear some nice things about you twos. ^^
thank you for the complement though. see, I could say I look all gangly and aquard, and you found something nice about me. :)
-
Wait, Scuttlebutt's gonna be at A-Kon?
If so, I totally need to buy a new Mudkip badge, someone took mine at Anime Matsuri 2009 and/or Ikkicon 3, lol.
-

oh you two will look pimpin in those costumes!!! Stop stressing over it!
-
oh, wow. everyone's been working insanely hard. now i feel lazy :happy: but i don't have anything coming up till Otakon and I'm REALLY busy with school, so I have time. I may go to Wizard World Philly but that's still a maybe. EITHER WAY i still lack boots for Vivi! I promise next time i'll upload pics of my completed Vivi :)
ANYWAY, I'm really excited about this costume! Every year, there's a movie that makes me wanna do a certain costume. Last year, Dark Knight made me do Harley Quinn. This year… this cosplay is a secret so if I told you the movie it'd probably give it away :D
So, here's the start of my SECRET COSPLAY! Guess if you want!
!
And the hair! Ignore the bangs, i need to get rid of 'em
I'll deffinately be working on it this weekend with my cosplay group and taking vid of the whole thing. I'M SUPER EXCITED! -

Yeah xD I'd seen that Jess had just gotten back into DA recently, and she had gotten back to me about going to Akon, she confirmed they were both going and going to have a table.. OH MY GOD.. I am gonna blow soooo much money on their badges ___ I LOVE THOSE GUYS ARTWORK !!!! And their cosplay. I feel like such a douche I didn't realize who they were at Akon in 2006 T___T
