Hey Fin Fish xD Those wigs are great O_O what product did you use to spike up the Blood + wig.. and.. what site did you get your wigs from? I'm trying to find a good nappy looking wig for Jesus Burgess.. yes.. I'm gonna try and pull that off.. but not until August xD LOL
-
Bgah, I sort of dropped off the radar for a week there. Tests, play tech, and a million wigs before Fanime are busting my butt. I was supposed to put up a Jyabura progress pic a short while back.
[hide] [/hide]
Just a wip shot, since the outfit is pretty much done, but I currently have no wig. The facial hair literally hung on for one pic, then fell off. I'm currently remaking it. XD
-
@ junkeemunky: I'm already loving the current progress on Jyabura.
One thing still strikes me; how did you get your abs and chest to look so, well, manly? I'm puzzled by how you did it, yet I'm not surprised you were able to pull off such a feat.
-
I constructed a muscle shirt.
-
Epic awesome. I've been wondering how to do one of those. It looks great, I must say!
And thanks Omni for the wig comment. It's not a hard wig to do, but I likes it.
-
oh my lord you are going to make an AMAZING Jyabura, JM!! Its looking great so far!
-
Thanks dude. 83 I wish I had more words for this forum, but I'm pretty tired atm. I'll have to chat a bit more after my anthro midterm.
-

Thanks~ I used Got2BGlued spiking glue for separating the bangs into spiky chunks, and just used a shitload of hairspray for the part that sticks up. Pink wig's from Cyperous, black one's from Amphigory.
JM~~~~~~~~ WHY ARE YOU SO HOT D:
-
OH my lord that is an amazing Jyabura JM D: You have a better body than me haha.
-
JM: Wow! That just is the awesome! You always manage to impress me. XD
Fin: XD yes yes 8.5/9 shoe size. Although sometimes it sucks finding shoes because it seems that everyone else is a size 8.5/9.
Youshi: your welcome.

OH SHADDAP YOU! (blushing) X3
Also, got2b products are so awesome. I use the glue and the hair cement spray all the time. I like the curly whisp on the front of your wig. <3

I constructed a muscle shirt.
Thanks for making myself and Hanyaan feel the sting of girlcrushes! :sad:
Looks awesome though! You had us totally fooled into thinking you were a dude. ;_;

Tell me about it, cactusmomma. I was fooled and in typical Slowpoke fashion had to take a second look today at JM's Jyabura WIP cosplay to realize it was a muscle shirt, as I knew and realized she was a girl.
@JM: The detail on the muscle shirt is flawless. <3
-
OH MY GOD.. Jyabura.. faints He's definately the CP9 member I would have cosplayed if not for Spandam xD OH MY GOD.. You're totally the hotness JM.
And btw.. how the HELL did you get that shirt to look like REAL SKIN O_O that.. is utterly jaw-droppingly amazing. I envy your amazing talents and wish sooo badly I could spy on you and learn how to do things like that XD GAHHH you're soo resourcefull XD GREAT job O_O god.. I hope you get the wig soon so we can see the WHOLE progress :D
-

Spoiler'd in case some of you are not current with the anime/manga
! Guys, I need some advice from those of you that have seen what Zoro's new sword looks like in color. (The one that Ryuma gives him)
! I know that the sharp part of the blade has a sort of blueish-purple tone to it, and the middle is red. Should I just paint the red and leave the rest of the blade solid black? Because I'm not sure if a dark blue purple would look good in real life, but I could be wrong?
! I mean, I suppose the blade is technically supposed to be a black blade, but they tend to colorize everything in the anime. -
try a dark blue almost a black purpleish color like mihawks blade neko it mightwork. since thriller bark is a dark place.
edit: jm you are hottttttt!!!!!!!!!!
-
Whew… made quite a bit of progress. I'll try to remember my camera when I come back to mum's on Thursday. I'm done for the night anyway, so you guys may get to see progress pics.
But yeah, so far, I have 3 of 4 Zoro swords painted, the blades anyway. I need to go back and hand paint the designs on Kietetsu's blade. The hilt for Yubashiri is painted, as well as Wadou. All the hilt guards are cut and made except for Kietetsu's. They are drying right now. I still need to buy some white and red bias tape as well as some gold leaf.
I'm still debating on whether I want to leave Shuusui just black and red. That'd save me money on spray paint, that's for sure. I still need to figure out what I am doing about those little rivet things along the scabbard and hilt.
As for the Climatact, I have most of it painted, I don't think I will be able to make it come apart, at least not this time. I'm just going to attach the balls and leave it as a solid piece. I had initially wanted to make it to where it can come apart, but that may be too much trouble.... I still need the styrofoam balls.
Usopp's flag... the pole is painted, well touched up since PVC is white already. I need a few connector pieces and then I need to see if Hobby Lobby carries sculpey. I also need to find some decent fabric for a flag that takes to acrylic really well.
Aaand I am also nearly done with Matsumoto's sword for my friend Liv. I had to take apart this Ichigo sword and shorten the blade a bit, since it didn't come with a scabbard, and thus I may just have to sacrifice one of my Kaku swords for it… I still need to get some more wood for the hilt guard, its sort of a cat head shape, shouldn't be hard.
That's all, just an update of sorts.
-
Usopp's flag pole always gave me some issues. But I got my hair cut for Lupin III, and my sideburns are still growing. But still having issues with the wig CM gave me for Sanji. Ugh… and I lost my bank book, so I can't get or put money from my back account. So my dream might come true.
-
Decided to make Kaku's files and belt for PirateNeko's Galley-La Outfit.
I took flat wooden rulers and cut them into shape, sanded them a bit, and am molding the handles out of sculpey. Once it dries, everything gets another sanding before it goes to be painted.
I got one cut and molded, but not painted.
This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so I'm very paranoid about how it's all going to come out.

COSPLAY PROGRESS!!
I finished modding Omni's Perona boots:
! Here's some progression shots…
These are the boots I had to get, because they were out of stock on these =(
! BUT. I found I was able to cut them down and use the extra buckle to place in between the other two. Worked beautifully! In fact, these look a lot better because the straps are thinner like Perona's and the heel of the boots are more accurate, I think.
!
! And they are finished! Modeled by me, so ignore my pale hairy leg DX (If they fit me, they fit her since we are the same shoe size =3)
Hope you like them, Omni!! <3!
Also, here's some progress pics on the weapons I am working on:
! From the top, Climatact (I've bought the spheres already btw), Usopp's flag pole (sans a few pieces and the fabric), Wadou, Kietetsu (The blunt part of the blade is black, its just covered with masking tape at the moment), Shuusui (going to paint the red on later), and Yubashiri. I bought the sculpey to make all the little gold details and the bias tape for all of the swords.
!
This one was a failure…. I'll have to make another one.... It was for Matsumoto's sword (from Bleach) Its too thick, and I don't want to sand it down, it would take forever.
The hilt guards…
-
Like I said, I love you! Those do look great. Thank you for modding them for me! You are so sweet! -snuggles-
-
Oooh wow, looking nice!! Good job! <3

Hey, um I was working on a Lucci cosplay, and I'm almost finished with it, I was just wondering if I could have some tips, on how to get the costume to look better, how to pose, and how to cosplay in general, because this is my first costume, and it's not very good now, I admit.
[hide][/hide]
I'm not wearing any makeup, because my mom had to leave, and I can't put it on myself. We're going to cut the wig a bit too. I have a tank top somewhere that I'm going to wear, but for this pic, I had to roll up some sleaves on a white t-shirt. Thank you for help in advance. -
OMG NEKO!!!!
u kickass neko. i lov it sooooo much. bows
you are the shiz -
OHHHHH sweet boots neko! Can't wait to see Omni in them come Acen.
-
Well, Neecronimicon, here's what I can offer you from someone working on the same outfit!
Try lifting some weights to tone your arms; I've been averaging about 50 each arm per night. It'll help your arms look much better in that tanktop. Crunches or situps work well too; I have been doing them nightly and I'm already noticing my upper abs taking shape!
Waist cinchers are great too; I wear one under almost every costume! And as you've said, makeup is great.
I would get a better wig, if you can afford it. I am not sure where you got that one, but, no offense, it looks a little Halloween-ish. If you have a loss of where to look, I'd be happy to direct you to some inexpensive places!
Don't forget the tattoos on your arms! And Hattori! You must have Hattori! Sadly, the place where I ordered mine no longer carries him, so you may have to do some hardcore internet searching to find one, or make your own.
Hmmmmm. thinks
Hat! Top hat! If you have a little extra money, I can show you where I got mine. But if you don't like the one I use, you can easily search eBay and find plenty of top hats. (I had to put on a custom colored hatband, but you can do that with regular ribbon.)
I hope this has helped! Just let me know if you need anything!
EDIT: OMG PAGE 200, GAIZ!
-
My god Neko suck good craftmanship so far. Just remember the Shusui is slighty larger than his other swords.
-
Well, I have a Hattori and a top hat, I just forgot them for the picture. I remembered them only after I had took a picture, and my mom's camera wasn't up to taking another one.
The wig used to look a lot better, but this boy borrowed it and stuffed it in his top hat which got it all messed up. I would love to know where to get a cheap Lucci wig to replace it though, because I didn't like it when my mom laughed at me for wearing it.
Thank you so much for the information!
-
I checked on eBay with a few sellers I've used in the past. Since I don't know your financial situation or what your spending limit is, I'll PM you the links; there's two of them! =)
-
Ha, I'm surprised that hasn't been a whole slew of people saying "I'm going to cosplay Trafalgar Law when the color scheme comes out" since he seems to be the most popular of the new characters for his design.
….
I want to cosplay Capone Gang Bege.
-
Oh, thank you so much for those links! One of the wigs is the one that I own however. I was wondering, my wig was actually pretty nice when it first arrived, is there any way that I could be able to fix it so that it won't look so bad? I've tried brushing it, but it has tangles in it and I don't know how to get rid of tangles, or anything about wigs.
-
Well, Necro, you can go to a place like Sally Beauty Supply or BeautyCo. They sell Wig Conditioners and such. They're really good for things like that, and make your wig smell really nice.
Also, some grooming tips. Take a wide-toothed comb and start combing out the wig gently, starting at the ends. As you detangle the ends, slowly work your way up until you reach the scalp. Doing this prevents strain on the wig base and keeps excess hair from being pulled out.
-
Thank you, I'm gonna go try that when my mom gets back from work.
-
No problem! I hope it turns out well! Just remember to be very gentle.
-
i was look ing at the new chapter and i want to do either Eustass or basil wat you think of that
-
Tonight after work, I am sewing scallops on Ms Cricket's Cindry dress. (Lucky. Me. I hate scallops. LOL!). I also am going to sand down the handles on Kaku's files too, a little more. Tomorrow should be SPRAY PAINTING DAY!
I'll try to take pictures tonight after work.
-
My god Neko suck good craftmanship so far. Just remember the Shusui is slighty larger than his other swords.
Thank you! And by larger do you mean that its longer? Like the blade or the hilt? Because all the ones I am making are the same size ^^ (should've thought of that, crap! >_<)
-
I'm gonna try and work on something tomorrow.. maybe.. even sew something.. hheheheehheehhe.. I know you are all skeptical, but I think MAYBE…just maybe.. I can sew something other than buttons. Weather it will suck or not.. will have to be decided later. I think I'm gonna play with my DoFlamingo shoes too. I also found this mesh shirt I bought ...like.. 4 or 5 years ago.. heheheheh Got a good laugh out of it cause there's no WAY in HELL it'll fit right now, or sadly I'd look like the real Hogback.. hehehe .. XD It was quite funny to be honest xD I was just happy i found it, I didn't even know I had one xD LOL
I found like 30 million patturns that I didn't know I had, and some material that I THINK there might be enough there to make a cape.. but.. we'll just have to see won't we?? WAHAHAAHA XD I think I might be competent enough to make a cape. I've got my fingers crossed... xD
-
You can do it! I have faith! ^__^
I took some pictures of a wig I am styling for Kyra, and finished the scallops on Ms Cricket's Cindry dress. I'm working on PirateNeko's belt; it should be done tonight or tomorrow.
-
Guh, talk about terrible timing. I have been feeling under the weather for the last few days, pretty much preventing me from making much progress. Fortunately, though, I slept really well last night, and I'm going over my friends' house today to work on costumes.
My friend Alex is going to be the Blueno in our CP9 and Galley-La groups, so we'll be working on the wig, and probably apron. Hopefully I'll get some good progress done. :D
Sills Heat, I think you could do a pretty cool Kid, actually.
And pirateneko, I am liking your sword progress!
-
i'm working right now on Law right now's mainly just his sweater till the colors come out hehe
-
Spray paint is drying on the files. Finished the belt. It's not professional grade by any means, but I think it might pass inspection.
I'll post pictures of all that once the entire setup is done.
-
ok, first time ever, this is one of mine:
![](to be exact, i´m the one on the left side xP
what do you think?) -
4000th post!
Temp. collar for TB Nami. I don't have time/patience for the embroidered one.
!
Think this will work for now? I only have 2 and a half weeks till ACen and 2 other costumes to finish.
-
Wow. I like it! =) It looks nice and neat!
-
Right on the nail, c. momma.
-
looks fine, don't worry about it!
