Progress on Taisou. Not wearing the wig 100% right because I was in a hurry.
Once the belt is finished, it'll just need the wrappings.

There are my photos from Otakuthon, sadly I can't fix them in photflexer to not be so glaring eyed D: If anyone want to volunteer to fix a few pictures I would love you D:
Most photos are from the spontaneous One Piece shoot that came out of no wheres… Started with me wanting a picture with Franky then a Luffy showed....then another Sanji.... then... Zoro.....then....another Luffy.... and then Nami, OKAY YOU GET THE POINT, every One Piece person just magically apeared it was AMAZING!
It made my night, since my Law sword snapped in the car :'D
@cactusmomma–-my god i am having dirty thoughts with your vice pic, you look great. It seems you have her character down.
Heeeeeeeey just got back from TuCon a few hours ago. Most epic spazzing session in my life plz. I came home with a shit load of Chopper stuff (they only had 2 non Chopper stuff D: )
Anywaaaaaaays.
Me, my bro, and my boyfriend dressed up for it, we even did a skit for the Masquerade. A girl we met at the con ended up doing the skit with us. She was our Luffy. BEST MEAT EVAH!! We won a prize too 8D
We're gonna see about doing something with her next year too.
Anyways, there was a video recording of it made by http://www.arizonahp.org which should be up in about a week, I'm super excited and can't wait to see it 8D
Anyways, time to stop flapping my gums and to start posting pics lol
! Our Luffy. OMG THE MEAT!!!
! OH NOES LUFFY GOT DROWNED!!
! Us with a new friend we made at the con. Turns out she's from the same city as us and is a SUPER hardcore One Piece fan too 8D
Lineup: New friend, Me, boyfriend, and brother
! Awesome pic of my bro posing.
He got so many hugs, hair petting, and fangirl screams he couldn't count 'em all.
A bunch of people were asking if the swords were for sale. As a result, I think I'm gonna have to paint another set of them (yes, I did alter and paint his swords for him)
Idk though. It all depends on whether or not people would be interested in buying them :T
! My boyfriend as Usopp. He fails at serious Captain Usopp face
! Uuuuugh. I guess since I have to…
Me in my Robin costume. Unfortunately my shirt pulled out of my pants some while I was posing with our new buddy from our town. As a result it looks like my stomach's hanging out over the edge of my pants (hides in embarrassment)
! Group pic of all the winners
! And because it was so hillarious: One of my friends (Team Rocket cosplay) after being literally carried off stage by the host. He'd gotten up on stage after the "best in show" had been announced and started acting like he'd won.
Hopefully it'll have the clip of him being carried off when the videos are uploaded for arizonahp
@Ms:
Those pictures remind me a lot of one of my favorite pictures ever.

charli, glad to see you pop on. I was getting worried not seeing you around. :) that costume looks pretty kick ass

OH WOW you guys look like you had a freakin TON OF FUN!!!! OH MY GOD!! Those pics are soo adorable! I think you make such a pretty Robin, you have just the right facial features for her, you're soo beautiful!! Your Bro is a really good Zoro too, and your BF looks like he had a ton of fun as well being Usopp xD That Luffy you first posted is GREAT O_O I mean, her wig is soo pretty and that meat is AMAZING XDD I love the face down pic on the meat, that is sooo priceless!!!
Moke-chwan!! You cosplayed as Robin too! <3! You guys looked like you had tons of fun! I so wish you could come to a Texas con, or if I could go to an Arizona con XD
Damn it.. it's soo freakin' early in the morning..and all I can think about is cosplaying =_=; ughhhh
Oh crap I gotta go get fabric >_>
ah i hate that. (with anything really) your all ready to sit down and get to work and your missing something, so when your actually motivated, you gotta get up and run around doing other stuff instead. |:\
Aww thanks guys!
I really wish I were thinner though lol
You should totally come next year Neko-chwan! We can create mayhem wherever we go lol
Gonna try for a Perona Costume this halloween and my bro's doing Absalom. Any suggestions?

I know where you can get the perfect Perona boots!! Or, if you would like, I can make them for ya ;p
@pirateneko:

Oooo I'd very much appreciate either one of those methods.
Where's the place to find them?
okay this really has nothing to do with cosplaying, but we (my sister, her bf who's into ceramics, and i) made den-den mushi for my friends as a super late christmas present. The glazes messed up on some of them (too dark or too runny, etc) but I'm super excited that they're done and wanted to post pics =P
oh my god FG…those would be the best x-mas gifts EVER I LOVE the sad yellow one with the big pink lips.... . wow you guys are made of so much WIN OMFG!!!!!!!1
Aww…they're adorable!
I wish I'd thought of something that cool for presents. It'd be awesome to sit there and customise them for all of my friends :D.
Oh, and as an edit, happy birthday forkgirl! :)
Awww those are cute Den Den Mushis! <333!
Moke-chwan, if you have an Electrique Boutique anywhere near you, they have the coolest boots ever!
I took these and modified them into knee high boots. The reason I used these is because the straps are close enough and there are 3 of them, I just had to cut it down of course. PM me if you want more in-fo-ma-tion~ <3
P.S. Stariana I love your Power Rangers sig! XDDD Neko is a total sentai/tokusatsu freak
edit
Speaking of sexy boots, I'm thinking of someday cosplaying Water 7 Robin =3 I am debating between these three boots, what do you guys think?
The reason I am not looking at the shiny leather ones is because they probably will not photograph as well, but if someone disagrees, then by all means, show me something better! ^_^
Neko, I wish I had thinner legs so I could just order boots off a site XD Gahh I hate having thunderous monstrous sumo legs ==;; I can't choose.. I LOVE ALL THREE PAIRS!!! DX!!! I wish to god..I could be in good enough shape to cosplay sexy Water 7 Nami someday xD That's one of my FAV Nami's EVER O_O Damn it XD And Water 7 Robin is one of my fav fav fav Robins as well, I wish I had a figure of her in that outfit too ==;; I swear I have one in every outfit BUT that arc ;___;
With the boots though, go with 1 or 3 on the links..there's something about 2 that just isn't as awesome.. I dunno..I'm no boot expert so please stop listening to me x_x;
And Forkgirl.. OH MY GOD.. would I be able to commission you to make me a golden den den Mushi?? Like the one Spandam uses like a retard??? OH MY GOD.. I want one sooo badly ___
Man, those Perona boots are awesome. I share the pain of having chunky legs though :(.
For Robin, whilst I agree that in some lights the photo shots might be a little compromised, the leather boots aren't actually that shiny. My personal favourite out of the three would have to be the first pair (if you are worried about the shine, just put some polish on them and don't buff them up too much, it works most of the time). They also seem the right sort of shape and style for the outfit. However having said that, the matt boots look more comfortable with the rounded toe and the chunky heel and they would probably completely prevent any photo mishaps. There's not much of a difference really, it's just up to whether or not you want to go along with Robin's somewhat leather-fetish ;D.
(I love the sig too, it looks like the black ranger is ready to join in ^^).
I would go with not-shiny, as you thought, Neko, and…well, you know my stance on cosplay. I'd go with the matte boots that look the most like her boots.
I'm very anal about that kind of thing. >>
I've seen many Water 7 Robins not in person sadly Do the whole leather thing with the outfit of Robin', leather boots, leather dress, and I think that it looks just fantastic!! But If you're NOT doing it all leather, like lets say you're doing the dress in some sort of soft material that's not shiny at ALL, then I'd stronger recommend NOT getting the shiny leather boots xD But I say if you're doing like shiny leather, then shiny leather boots it is. I don't mind one single bit which way it's done as long as it matches, cause I've seen it both ways, and both ways look soo gorgeous, so now it just comes down to personal preference!
Good luck with this version of Robin Neko!!! I wanna see you do it SOO BADLY DX!!!!!

I would go with the Lycra boots, Lycra is non reflective and is a 4 way streach. Its also a fairly reasonable to by fabric of so making the Dress of Lycra wouldnt be very hard eather.
And cause it streaches making it to form fit wouldnt be as difficult
Becareful though cause there are two types of Lycra, cotton and rayon
here is a place that sells Lycra, but you can probrably find it in Joanns I even know walmart use to carry black and white Lycra.
OMG NEKO if you cosplay Robin from Enis Lobby I could totally cosplay Sogeking xD
or… I could cosplay Luffy? even though I don't make a good one... not that we'll be able to come down any time soon for that u__u UGH but wow I totally think you can pull that out fit off GREAT .
I'm not boot expert but I'm sure Charli can help you pick something out depending on what kind of material you decide to make the outfit out of? I had to take that in account when I bought hooker boots for Drake x__x;;
BLARGGHHH Nami wig that I want is up on ebay, but I have no monies Dx I'm hoping one of my friends will buy my shit Robin wig… D: so that I have some money to get the Nami wig.
In other news next One Piece cosplay is ball man Sanji, with a Nami who will corresponding outfit wise 8D (with the white pants and { gold } tank top ) I'MMM SO HAPPY! 8D

Lol I showed Mom and she said no.
I found a pair on amazon I can use though that she says she'll consider lol.
Now any ideas on where to get the perona wig? Other than that I can pretty much piece the costume together myself from here on out :D
yay I am so glad you decided to ball sanji. Who is doing your Nami? Carolanne? Or will it be Mary?
I decided because you recommended xDD And Yes it's Carolanne were doing it together for are next con :3
LOOOK
I made comments on each xDD
Eebanee!!! Those video's were great!!! xD you're such a great and cute Sanji __ I..was wondering where you got your wig from? I really adore it, one of the best Sanji wigs I've seen O_O
LOL thank you x3 DId you see me get in trouble for saying 'Zolo' instead of Zoro v.v; I'm so confussled about that one still.
I randomly came across it when looking for one after a long period of time :3
Thankyou Eebanee!!! Just a quick question about the wig..is it parted on the correct side for Sanji? I think it looks that way, but the picture looks flipped so I thought I'd make absolutely positively sure first!!!
And yeah, I heard the 'Zolo' and everyone tore into you xD ahahaah Poor thing!! Especially the Zoro cosplayers.. it's soo funny to hear people speaking French too xDDDDDD
It was parted the correct way for me (Right…? Or do I have it flipped, I don't think I do) but ya when I got it, it was parted correctly.
-Weeps- I'M SORRY! But I still don't get it. When It comes out in english it's spouse to be 'Zolo' right? Just like how Kirara from Inuyasha is pronounced 'Kilala' Dx But the Japanese fans say "ZORO OR YOU DIEEEE SSSSSSSSS" o.o;. I responded with... "I read the manga" xD
Yush. Us frenchies are dah funnies :3
Japanese has a R/L sound so when you translate it you can go either way.
People are sensitive cause of the BAD anime dub from 4kids, where they called him Zolo. But we don't talk about that.
Just say Zoro, it sounds much better :)
Yush okay. I see why people hate 'zolo' since 4kids is like lord satin of anime (Though I prefer the 4kids Zoro voice actor over the funimation. Best voice actor the Jap one xD )
I should jut stick to Zoro now x3
Death to Zolo sayers….rawr! I'm curious now, since theres more Marines shown, wonder if more people are going to cosplay them more. I would love to see a Vice Admiral Tsuru cosplay since she intrigues me the most.
LAWL! xD
I gawd I hope theres more Marine cosplays ;w; I love the Marines and after the recent chapter… o.o;;
I wanna cosplay a marine Dx!!!

I'm doing a marine 8D He's funky fresh too! >3
To tell you the truth I actually like the Marines of OP better than most of the pirates. :ninja:
And Meru_chwan is doing a Tashigi.
Someone should organize a massive huge marine cosplay group.
I'd say Kaizoku-syn, Ichnob, Iroha, and Hanshi have organized one of the most GARGANTUAN Marine groups OUT there xD It's the biggest I've ever seen, all they needed was a Helmeppo and a Garp.
The one Marine costume I'm hoping to to is Tahigi. Wish I had a smoker xD but Im waiting for my hair to grown out.
I still don't know which Marine I'd like to do Dx I wanna cosplay so many characters UGH my sis wants to cosplay Sentomaru… but who would I cosplay when she does that??? xD and I LOVE T-Bone and Garp but once again... not very tall =_=
and I'd LOVE To cosplay an admiral but once again... not very tall OR very thin x_x; pfttt I dunno
and I think you'd make a GREAT Tashigi Eebanee!!
With the boots though, go with 1 or 3 on the links..there's something about 2 that just isn't as awesome.. I dunno..I'm no boot expert so please stop listening to me x_x;
I think I am leaning towards the first link actually, thanks ^_^

Ahh yeah, I see what you mean. Ok, I shall keep this in mind!
LOL He should totally join him! XD

here is a place that sells Lycra, but you can probrably find it in Joanns I even know walmart use to carry black and white Lycra.
It does seem like lycra would be easier to work with, but now that I look at it, its the least accurate. Leather is going to look better, but I have a feeling its going to be tough to work with, and I mean with the whole outfit >_<
OMG NEKO if you cosplay Robin from Enis Lobby I could totally cosplay Sogeking xD

You should totally be Sogeking!! I really love that cosplay of yours the best, right along with Kumadori <3
Lol I showed Mom and she said no.
I found a pair on amazon I can use though that she says she'll consider lol.
Now any ideas on where to get the perona wig? Other than that I can pretty much piece the costume together myself from here on out :D
Aww nuts, that's too bad! =( Is it because of the site they're on? Oh well, good luck with your boots then, dear! ^_^
As for the wig, check out Amphigory or Cosworx One of them should have the parted wig with the curly locks that you can straighten with warm water…
@Ebanee: We need to get Carolanne to join this forum! I think she will make a really cute Nami! Yay!
@Ebanee: We need to get Carolanne to join this forum! I think she will make a really cute Nami! Yay!
Ill tell her as soon as she gets on MSN! I know, She's going to be awesome!
OMG! I fixed my Law sword :D I'm very happy! But now I'm actually going to change it to Tashigis sword since im planning on remaking Laws sword so it's abnormally long :3
Also for Halloween…. I think I might make Brook xD
My Youshi wig came in the mail today! =D So I went from just trying the wig on, to adding the bandana… then the shirt and then I said "Fuck it!" and put the rest of the costume on. NOW this is not the final form, the wig still needs to be stylized and cut in the front a bit, and the shirt is going to be redone entirely. I bought better, more breathable material and I still need to get the blue paint for my skin XD
Looks very nice!
holy crap Neko you look GREAT!! No offense but in that picture you definitely have the right bust size for her x3 which is TOTALLY not a bad thing!! You look so pretty!! I wasn't sure if you guys were going to get Youshi done D: I'm so happy to see it!!!! The wig looks great!! n___n
Too bad you can't just use that costume you're wearing there, it would save you soo much money in the long run Neko x_x; The wig looks pretty good, though if you guys could take a picture of it with an actual camera and upload it that would be awesome, I'd love to see what color it is without that 'camera phone' tint on it!!
Oh heck, it is going to hardly cost anything to redo the top! We already got the new suede. See, the old top was made of pleather and had torn in many places from stress.
This will look a lot better and a lot more like brushed leather hide. ^_^
