your mom sounds fun. :\ how old are you guys?
-
Mentally or biologically? xD ahahaha

biologically. your only as old as you feel. I still feel like a very responsible 20. :)
freaking hell. a week till anime north and I have not received my freaking wig in the mail yet. I asked to have it by may 10th. If I don't have it for anime north, I'm asking for my money back or raising hell at her booth in front of all her customers. The only other costume I will have assembled is nadia, and it's still too cold here for that. unless I can find someone to style my hair the morning of…but that will cost MORE money @_@
-
May 10th? holy crap Dx! Should of been there by now x_x;; GAHHH!!! Good luck Captain Usopp, I hope by some chance a miracle happens and your wig comes. I know JUST what that's like =_=;;
-
sorry we still don't have up progress pics but we're so close on some things I'd rather they just be complete xDDDD Drake is ALMOST DONE except for the belt buckle and the feather needs to be attached… got a NICE BEAUTIFUL one at the Renn Fair ;; it's actually... TOO LONG xDDDDDD gotta trim it down a little >> waaaah they also had the worlds MOST PERFECT BEGE CAPONGE HAT AT THE RENN FAIR UIFILGHLS:KDNG:LGNKL:!!!!! Why did it have to be made of pure leather and be $150 BUCKS!??? WHY it was SO CUTE Dx!!!!!!!
Kidd is getting there and with a little more work the other supernovas will be done too x__x; GOD I hope... the Usopp shorts for Shabondy Usopp mock me.. with their need for little pieces cut out in the shape of flowers and the hand sewing.. cries and the beanie.... it mocks me too x__x; the Duval armor still isn't on ... dies and I need to make buttons and button holes for Doc Q and Burgess needs a belt buck UGH god seriously I'm stressd about beld buckles x__x;
-
You can do it sis!!!
I have faith in you! Plus if you're off all week you'll get a lot done x_x;; I'm working all week so I'll be rooting for you at work xD
-
Russia from APH for Fanime!
It fails
Shoulders fail, specifically, and there's holes in the arms that I've got to fix. It's not quite done yet but I made it all by myself and I used no pattern (I should not be proud of that, I know). I don't really like it, but hopefully I'll be able to fix it over the next week to make it look comparable to the other ones in the group.
-
I think it looks alright. And I would be proud too, if I did something without a pattern! Hopefully when you fix everything you said you needed to fix, you will feel better about it.
Also! I have my husband thinking about going to AKON 2011! I know it is two years away, but that was the earliest I could convince him to go to! And since it is two years away that gives me plenty of time to save the money for it! I hope I get to go so I can meet all you texas peoples!
And to make this cosplay related to me…have a prop my husband started making for me.
!
! I won't be making this costume for a few months at least, but I am excited that he started the prop. -
Oh wow Omnichild! That would be awesome xD Just imagine all the One Piece cosplay that could be possible by then xDDDDD
The prop looks really interesting, what's it from??
-
Hahahaha omni..is that the FUMES prop?
-
@ Moon: oh gods. XD The thought of that is kinda scary actually. If I do come out there then, we have to do a super awesome group!!! And the prop is from Blazing Souls, carried by Carla.
@ Bri: hahaha no this isn't actually.
-
Alright guys, i lagged the updates. I still got the pants left to do but the Great Admiral Kizaru Cosplay is almost done. And yes, my hair is not done in pic and ill grow out my facial hair when the time comes for Fanime. But here's 2 pics.
It took me a while because the suit was made from scratch. The yellow lines are bias taped not painted on. Its a bit wrinkely but the Iron Goddess Iroha has it out for me to iron the leaving crap out of that suit.
And Ichnob's Aokiji is looking good, along with our Sengoku.!
-
The suit looks FANTASTIC <3
Den-den mushi is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge XD
Tell me that you ARE going to style your hair and add the make-up!~ -
Dude, I'm really looking forward to your finished Admiral cosplay. Looks great so far.
-
oh my god… that Kizaru cosplay is so epic ;_____; I wish I could attend the con you'll be at weeps cause I'm cosplaying Drake and I KNOW you're probably tall and I'm so effing short the height comparisson would be epic Dx
speaking of Supernovas.. I am REALLY SUCK on Kidds goggles >__< I have EVERYTHING for them except a way to make the square lenses... I've tried making them with ... model magic but the stuff irks me and it's testing what little patience I have Dx;
any advice? >___<; sorry to ask
and EDIT as soon as I can figure out how the HELL I'm supposed to take pictures off my cell phone... I'm gonna post some pictures tomorrow... er ... later today of my Drake mock up I jumped into my costume an dtook pictures in the bathroom xD I wanna use one as an icon SO BAD ;___; it's perfectly angled!!!!!! DAMN PHONE Dx how DO you take pictures off a phone? don't tell me to just plug a cord in cause I did that and it doesn't work Dx uwaaah I'm so retarded!!
-
@al!na, yea that den mushi is a bit big, but i like it like that ^_^. And yes im going to fix my hair to kizaru as close as possible. And yea ill be adding the make-up.
@coralsnake: Theres a way around the lense issue, if you got a Home Depot or a local hardware store. Look for a material thats pretty much hard see through plastic. Nearly identical to glass except for the fact that you can cut it with a Dremel tool if you have one.
As for you cell phone picture issue, you should have the capability of sending emails from your phone. Thats an option if your still having trouble unloading your pics still. -

I LOVE that you can actually see out of them and that the gold trim around the lenses is just... PERFECTLY FLAWLESS ;_____; I'd love to see a tutorial of the process even though I doubt I can produce something as nice and amazing... weeps why do I fail at props Dx I wish we could've seen your Kidd cosplay at Otakon Dx I would've even had Drake done and could've taken him! WAAAAH!!! not that they ever interact... xD
I'm still stressing over the Kidd goggles I haven't made yet =__= I don't want my sis to feel like I failed her ;____;
EDITING cause I can >__>
still didn't find anything I felt I could use at Hobby Lobby for Kidds goggles but I did stop by the phone place and figured out how to take pictures off my phone so here you go xD I doubt anyone cares but there's one of my Drake who's almost done and who we were dressed as at the Renn Fair... and two others just for funsies xD
!
I know I have the COMPLETELY wrong body type and the 'x' isn't there but if you know what Drake is supposed to look like… this angle is fucking AWESOME x3

Oh shit that is some AWESOME progress, Misty!! You are going to be a great Duval, I hope you finish that one!! Also, yay Doc Q!! I wish there was a BB pirate I could pull off, but sadly there isn't =( Van Auger would be a possibility, but who knows.

… I have a real Marines ...saber but I doubt they'll let me take it and carry it around at the con since it's... real >__>; doesn't look just like his but it's SO PRETTY O____O
and uh... didn't worry about the axe x__x; I thought I'd better learn to walk in the heels first xD but no u__u sad Drake is sad... he has no weapons to carry around x__x;
-
There's no way to secure it somehow so that it won't unsheath?

Agreed. A-Kon's not the nicest con in terms of weapons policy, but I'm sure you can make things work.
You should be able to peacebond a Marines sword, if we're looking at the standard type used.
-
was it this thread I was bitching about my hiruma wig? finally got an e-mail. she sent it express. I should get it wed. or thurs. she's cutting it close from getting a bitchfest from me. and I'm not normally an angry person.
-
Ok here's a progress picture of Conis taken on Youshi's phone. I need to get some lighter makeup and lighten my eyebrows. Hopefully we'll get a full shot of the dress. It is very nice. The wig rocks.
!
I definately need to get a better bra, want the girls up a little higher. XD
-
Conis doesn't wear jeans xD LMAO Sorry sorry, it looks GREAT! The wig is totally badass as I would expect nothing less from Charli! It's too bad you guys can only take pictures on phones though x_x; I'd like to see a full shot of your Conis!
-
do you guys think if i peace bond it or what ever… you know... stay ties... that they'll let me O__O I mean I wasn't planning to whip it out and stab people xDDD but it's so awesome ;______; it even says... United States Marines on it... and Drake is an ex marine... xDDD why do I find stupid things like that that aren't funny... funny? and my cape will hide it for the most part xD
also...... EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CUTE CONIS IS CUTE!!!! You look GREAT Brandee ;3; I LOVE that you're smiling and the hands behind the back looks like something cute Conis would do! and that pattern on the shirt is just perfect and so neat and well done O__O why am I not capable of such a feat? xD and the wig... I definiately applaud Charli for that O_O seriously that was the part of her costume I was looking forward to seeing the most was how the wig would turn out cause I KNEW it would be so cute!!!!!!!
man got the foam out of the garage... gonna try to make shit >__>; as soon as I find sand paper and clear my floor O__O ARMOR MUST BE CREATED though I will already say this... it may not be like the most... durable thing as it'll be made of foam like my sogeking fins x__x;;; gyah!!
-
That's the general rule for conventions. If you bring a weapon that has a sheath, as long as they see that the weapon can't be unsheathed, they should let it pass. I'm not saying you should ruin your weapon and somehow super-glue it shut, but they have ways to peace-bond swords and the like. Might want to try looking up make-shift peace-bond swords.

Coughs Well I've got a replica Master Sword and Hylian shield from the Zelda games, metal and everything and I had much the same problem a while ago (I've got a full Link costume including the ocarina of time ). As long as you're sly enough to make it look like a prop or unthreatening, then you're good to go honestly. I made the silly mistake of making another sword out of balsa, and because I had it strapped on my back in the sheath it snapped when I went through some double doors, so I had to fix it with sellotape :/. It was first thing in the morning as well.
Moral of the story: Yeah, you can probably get away with it, just make sure it's not threatening looking. If you don't give it a go, then you'll regret it :). (Invading the thread)
I love the Conis ensemble by the way, it looks really well done! :).
-
.. hmmm I may bring it then and 'peace bond' it with stay ties… and if they say anything I can dump it back in my trunk in the car... I'll just feel NAKED with no weapons Dx;
and OMFG my Buggy pauldrons sp? are made of balsa... those things snapped the FIRST TIME I WORE THAT COAT!!!! If I ever fix them which I've been super lazy as of late so probably not... I'll make them out of foam xD my sisters are made of blue hard foam I carved into round circles and they haven't broke yet xD but they looked good at the time and still look decent if it's not a close picture but they are SO broken xDDD
-
Youshi did an amazing job on that Conis wig! I am very impressed.
-
brandee your so cute. ^^ and i totally thought the conis hair would look bizarre in real life, but it actually looks cool.
-
Brandee's not wearing jeans in that picture, it's her belt! ^__^
Actually, PirateNeko needs to take credit for drawing that design on the dress. I would have fucked it up royally. XD The wig's not done yet; I'm almost finished with the pigtails in the back.
Finished Robin's belt today and almost got her armband done. Fucking handsewed the entire goddamn trim on that belt. Blah. Took me three days.
Here, have a picture of Calgara's spear.
And my kitchen, because that's where the best white light in the apartment is.
-
MOAR progress GET!
The Law sword is pretty much done except for the orange cord thing on the sheath. I would have had it, but the dyed bias tape that I had failed horribly… Oh well, I know where to find the orange cording that I need!
-
Wow that Law sword looks amazing and that Spear too :D Makes me want the Law Sword just to have it.
-
Everythings looking good to me!
-
OMFG Law sword is made of WIN SO MUCH WIN O____O I'm working on a sword myself but it's not nearly that simple x____x; I had to reshape the damn hilt weeps with model magic… hopefully I can paint it and make it work somehow magically O___O I wish I had your sword making/modifying/painting skills Dx
-
Nice sword, is it scaled to your height? That's what one of my pet peeves where weapons aren't scaled properly to the respective owners height. Sooooo mannny Zoros with a sword the size of there forearms. facepalm
-
I swear to god.. if you go to Otakon Next year, and I KNOW that's a LONG LONG LONG LONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG ways from now, my sis and I are SERIOUSLY going to make plans to go, and I WILL Have an Apoo cosplay by then, by god ___ OH GOD.. that would be sooo amazing XD gahh I'm getting all excited and goose-bumpy JUST THINKING ABOUT IT.
