Here we go! Pics!

First, Oliver, the Welsh Corgi.

Next…my room!

I happen to like katanas…what?

My DESK! And look! APForums is up on the screen!

THe Giant Robo Shrine. Complete with two cels, one of which is the AWESOME Youshi Semenjyu! (The blue chick!)
Note the One Piece pillow on the bed. ^_^

That Castle of Cagliostro Lupin poster is one of my most favorite items ever. Original, 25 year old Japanese theatrical movie poster. Love love love.

Some Marvel Lurve!

Quite possibly the coolest figurine I own.

And lastly, so I'm not totally OT…UsoKa Cosplay pic!!!!

AUSA 06..almost a year ago! :D the vivi is my good friend. ^^

OH MY GOD :wub:

You are the CUTEST Luffy Ive ever seen o_o

[omnichild]

OMG! Youshi! It would be so hard for me to come over to your place and then not leave without stealing half of your stuff. Especially that Lupin poster. <3 My fiancee is definitely more of a DC comic kinda of guy and I and my sister are more marvel fans. Especially the x-men. I love Gambit so much. I haven't seen Giant Robo yet, but my fiancee has talked about it before and says it is good. So I will have to check it out. AND AND! your dog! So cute! That is one of the dogs I want to get when I have a place that allows pets. I am going to name him Ein! (Cowboy Bebop fan right here.) But I also want to get a yellow lab and name him Mercury or Mer-Kun (if anyone knows what anime that is from, you are most awesome.)

And to not be completely off topic either: that Kaya and Usopp picture is so cute! And I can't believe how different you look in between all of your cosplays!

[Youshi Semenjyu]

I dunno how I manage to always look different in my costumes. o_O It's kinda weird to me too! LOL!

…I just bid on something completely unrelated to anime for my room...Y'see, I love Classic Hollywood, and...well...James Stewart. ^_^ I bid on an autographed print of him from one of my favorite films!

[betoman]

Haha you make a great Bellamy! The facial expressions are right on. And I really like the one of Shanks cooking xD
Can't wait to see more ;3;

[omnichild]

Oh those are great pictures!

[Youshi Semenjyu]

Note that I'm only the Shanks in the photo. Bellamy is someone completely different. Tis MoonNeko!

And OH!

Shanks discovered during his little cooking venture…that his leg had been bleeding the whole time and he didn't even notice!

Ah! Well she makes a good bellamy then ;o

You know what; That happens to me all the time. I have all thee bruises on my legs and I never remember where I got them from o_O

[MoonNeko]

[KamenRiderNeko]

dear god those pics are BRUTAL!! XD <3

[fin fish]

Oh wow, that Franky wig looks AWESOME. And ahaha, GREAT Bellamy. XD

[Youshi Semenjyu]

Good morning, this is a pissed off Zoro day. looks very grumpy, having just woke up and recieved some ANNOYING cosplay news

EDIT: Never mind. She's gonna wear Nami for the photoshoot. But any other OP cosplayers are most welcome!

stalks off looking ready for a nap and very Zoro-esque <– I'm still tired and want to have my post-sleep nap.

(Btw, thanks for the wig compliments! That Franky wig took all of like...30 minutes to style. o_O And she DOES make a fantastic Bellamy!)

[helendragon]

This post is deleted!

[fin fish]

Youshi, what base wig did you use for Franky?

[Hyper Dingo]

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing, that wig is looking dynamite.

What did you style it with?

HUG!! I hope your day gets better!! What kind of annoy news di you recieve!!

[fin fish]

Hahaha, god, my roommate was talking about wanting to go to a comic convention and she was like, "YOU KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY MAKE COSTUMES FOR CONVENTIONS?" and I looked at the two wigs I have sitting on top of the VCR and was like, "…..yes."

[Youshi Semenjyu]

Ooh, I used the Punky XL wig from CosWorks in light blue. It doesn't have a scalp or a part on top, and there's PLENTY of hair right on the very top of the wig to sweep forward!

For styling, I used an ENTIRE CAN of got2be Glued Hair Glue. It comes in a yellow can, and you can get it at Wal-Mart. Oh, and I used some curlers for the hangy down bit in front and the duck curl on the nape of the neck. ^_^ Also, I used heat (a hair dryer set to low warm) to set the spray faster keep the curls styled.

Ugh, I'm also now quite sick to my stomach…Zoro's been busy paying tribute to the porcelain gods...

As for annoying news, my friend moved her Sailor Moon photoshoot from Friday to Saturday without consulting any of us and, as much as I love my Sailor Neptune costume, nothing gets in the way of my One Piece gathering.

Nothing.

But she plans on being Nami for the shoot at least, so my annoyance was much less.

A few pictures:

Shanks no want his picture taken. The finger with a smile.

And…some really hot pasta slipped into my sandal. OUCH!

Bellamy making a grin while Shanks makes a BIG mess in the background.

[CoralSnake]

OMG I missed so much … not that anyone noticed... I have MANY THINGS i'm working on... I c can't list them all but I gotta have almost 3 costumes done in 2 weeks ^^; dies

I think Munchie looks so cute I wish I could pull off a character so well as she does!! Fin Fish is AMAZING as well and of corse Henlen uploads the most cute stuff it makes me wish I could take pictures like that with people but I can't I'm MUCH too shy and would feel I'm being a letcher >>; hides I also can't WAIT to see my sis cosplay as Bellamy ;3;! I wanna be your Sarkiss!! cries

ok here's some pictures... not very excieting >>; We went to the Haunted Castle again, and I had bought that green shirt thinking it'd work if I ever wanted to do Skypiea (sp?) Usopp, but it looks more the color of Usopp at the end of Enis Lobby LOL oh well I suck x_x; didn't wanna be sleveless is was a bit cold... >>;

That's me obviously…

I had my sis take these one of me by the tree ^__^ just wanted some pictures and I'm still pissed I forgot my goggles ==;

eee I look so TALL!!!!!! … jk >>; sighs

---

NOW a few UsoppxKaya pictures where it's more like we're just ... standing and sitting by each other... so it's not really UsoppxKaya at all.... >>;;; hides that's Youshi as Kaya (which was stuff she just got out of her closet LOL surely she already said that) and myself as one SHORT ASS Usopp ==; sighs despite how untall and chunky I am... I hope they're ok pictures ;__; she's a pretty Kaya!

er hope you guys enjoy and I hope to GOD I get done with Sogeking within the next few days >_<;; dies that way I can be theWORLDS SHORTEST CHUNKIEST SOGEKING! atleast I can sing my theme song… ^^;

The last one kills me! moonneko is making the greatest face ever and you're having issues pouring food into bowls xD Total randomness. I love it.

[Youshi Semenjyu]

Aww,w I loves my Usopp-san! hugglies!!!

[MoonNeko]

I wuv my fav Usopp cosplayer XD WEEEE and that means YOU Sis!!!! I wish I could make a MUCH better Sanji for you =_=;; one day I'll be an awesome One Piece cosplayer.. I just don't think that I'm the best suited for Sanji xD more like.. taps chin Bellamy or even Koby XD

[TeenBulma]

I just love your Usopp cosplay :3 I was going to cosplay Usopp awhile back but I never got around to it.

I want to huggle you TT_TT

[omnichild]

Guys! I have a question! Should I buy a pair of red boots and alter them to have the straps on them. Thinking this pair (click me!) in the red color.

or should I just not care about the colour and go with a black pair? Something like this -> click me.

[TeenBulma]

I would go with the red. Im always kicking myself about not doing a certain thing for my cosplays and I regret it later on. If you go with the red you wont have to worry about it being incomplete. Plus I don't like those black boots xD Ive seen some other black boots at Hot Topic that would work perfectly. They even have 3 straps on them. (mabey 4; but atleast the back isnt open)

…..So it depends on if you actually care or not.

[omnichild]

I was actually thinking red. Because one, I want red boots and two as far as a can tell, her boots don't lace up. Plus the red ones are cheaper and I will probably like how they look better.

XD I think I just convinced myself to go with the red ones.

[TeenBulma]

lol then thats solved then xD I still need to relook at all those boots at cosworx for my cindry boots ;3

[omnichild]

Does Cindry wear boots? I thought she wore pumps!

-edit- Never mind…she totally wears boots.

[TeenBulma]

you crack me up. Im not sure if i should get ankle boots or knee boots. What do you think? He makes all his girls so gangly.

[omnichild]

XD I had that same problem deciding on boots for Perona. Couldn't tell if they were knee or ankle.

But I say with cindry that hers are ankle boots. There is one scene in the manga that shows her kneeling and her boots are no where near her knees in that one. So definitely ankle!

[TeenBulma]

Cus with ankle, it'll show more leg and thats what she has goin on. ;o Thanks~~

[helendragon]

…ARG!! I can't believe I did it again. the vids I made yesterday are all crooked.

That and everyone seems to be having bad luck. My poor nami/ club pres sprained her arm and then was sick afterwards. My zoro has a wicked scar now too.

Hope you feel better Youshi!! You weren't being too much in character for shanks I hope.

well heres the silly hat I got if you want to see. Can't resist the pirate stuff even if was over priced.

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j163/helendragon/cosplay%20goofy-ness/Picture020-1.jpg

[MoonNeko]

Awww, that hat is soo cute helendragon xD I love it ^^ What happened to poor Zoro that he has a scar now O_O I hope it's nothing too horrible x_x;; I have a scar about 2 inches long along my hair line above my left eye from a car accident. I don't remember it too much, but from what my mom and sis told me it was the size of a gold ball before they stitched it up xD

[Youshi Semenjyu]

I have a HUGE bump on my ass from when I fractured my tailbone in 7th grade. looks proud

But that's about it for scars.

And yes, what happened to my doppelganger to give him another scar? ;_;

[helendragon]

Mmmmm Sadly the story behind his battle scars not a very well..It wouldn't work as a pick up method. He fell out of bed (from top bunk) when his blood sugar got really low one night.

[Conekiller]

My local Anime Club is having our yearly Halloween Party this coming thursday. I'm gonna go as Franky with a Prop Brook tagging along.

All I need is to get the Franky Wig and the skeleton and make some finishing touches and I'm done with them!

[SILLS_HEAT]

it looks okay to me. but no wigs????

Omigod~ Thats such a neat idea for brook! I hope you take pictures :D

[cactusmomma]

This better or is there anything left that I should nail? The ruffle pulls down just a little more on the left side, so that's not a problem. In before waist cincher and IRON IT.

[Conekiller]

@SILLS_HEAT:

I still need the Franky wig. I had forgotten the Afro in my car for the pic.

[Youshi Semenjyu]

Well, I'm dressed like Water 7 Zoro right now. The haramaki looks pretty good. Wearing a flesh colored tank underneath my yellow shirt. THe scar's drawn on. I'm still a little iffy about it. I'll post some pics later, okay?

[omnichild]

@cactus: It looks fine to me. I can't wait to see the completed work of it though.

@Youshi: Post it now woman!

[MoonNeko]

Welp, looks like my Bellamy is just about complete xD I'd say literally about 85% done for now, I will make the captains coat someday before Akon next year xD I just don't have the time or money at the moment sadly x_x;; hhehehehe.. I'm gonna FREEZE my ASS off at izumicon.. cries It'll sooo be worth it XD

Anyways, heres some pics. And before you tell me that I don't have the scar or the tatoo's on the arms.. well.. you're right. I didn't want to scrub off the scar and my eyebrows like usual xD and frankly.. I just don't have the stuff to make the tatoo's yet x_x;; hehe.. but I will by next week XD

this one is where I'm just displaying the costume xD I look soo damn pudgy it's not even funny =_=;; ughs…. Plus I don't have the scar or tatoo's xD I actually made the Sash though ^^ I had help from Youshi and my sis Coralsnake, but for the most part.. I sewed it ALL myself XD WEEEE first thing ever T__T

Right here I've got a hold of Ace's Alabasta coat.. heheh.. I totally hijacked it. I love my expression in this one, and yes I know I don't have enough tongue, but when I stick my tongue out ALL the way is when I look the nastiest and fattest.. so.. I'm not.. x_x;

This was my fav one. Yes I know I'm not tan enough xD But … I don't care =_=;; I don't tan I only burn and it peels, so theres no point in even attempting to xD

Anyways, those are my 'finished' pics so far xD And also.. my boots don't zip all the way cause I'm blessed with Football player calves.. which I HATE btw.. anyways xD So.. that's why they won't zip... O_O what XD

Enjoy xD I know I did.
