WARNING - THIS THREAD IS IMAGE HEAVY - DIAL UP USERS BEWARE!
Hey folks! It's been a while! Here's the deal - my old webserv is gone and all my pictures went with it. I have a new webserv now, and I'm going to try to reupload some of my old stuff, while adding new stuff.
For those of you who don't know us, Monty (madgopher) and I are a couple who met nearly five years ago cosplaying. We've been together since, and we're still costuming. We've done many skits at convention masquerades, some of you East Coast con goers may know us as the "Sausage of Love" people. …Our skits are usually a bit on the dirty side but we have done musicals too. And some how we've run away with awards for almost every one. Don't ask me how. I think it's because Monty's willing to (stage) kiss other guys =P
In any case, to start an older one, but one I am very proud of. It is Nami from this piece of artwork, and it was a joint effort between Monty and myself to make that lion.
After the next con, I should have more shots of this one.
More recently, we've been working on Bleach cosplay. To me, Bleach costumes can be ridiculously boring. The outfits themself are easy to make and even easier to buy. What makes a Bleach costume unique and interesting, in my opinion, are the wigs and props. Right now our living room floor is a mess with wonderflex (a plastic moldable material I'll go into in another post) paint, and wood to make the swords, as well as wig hair clipping. Here are some pictures of the basic costumes so far. They're not completely done yet! Soon we'll have pics with the weapons.
Monty as Grimmjaw from Bleach..I'm going to miss his chest hair when its gone ;-;
Me as Rukia from Bleach…slipping through the snow. I'm kinda glad I didn't have their straw sandals at this point. And god damn was it bright out.
And finally…I love Ryuk from Death Note. I've loved him pretty much since I first saw him, and I've been wanting to cosplay him forever. It's finally going to happen! I have the fabric, wig, make up, and contacts, and I took a picture after fooling around with them last night. This is what I came up with. It is extremely half assed, but man...it creeps the hell out of me. And Monty.
And now I must go to work, but more to come soon! Definitely in the One Piece department, too. Monty got a new Sanji wig, and it looks rockin'.
