-
hey coral, another suggestion for searching for your mask. look for Robin masks. As in Batman and Robin. :)
-
I found a mask/bandana I'm thinking of buying and if it doesn't work I'm gonna cut it up and use it for a pattern xD it's not too much I just…. usually need a pattern to get something right x__x; if not it's trail and error out the butt xD
ps got Kidds fur coat cut out... still needs HELL of a lot of work x____x;

do you have experience sewing? I have none. I've been playing around in my head, how to go about putting the white trim on Nadia's skirt. If I should double up the white, so the red doesn't show through. I should probably put white trim on the back side too. If I do that, should I do the trim as one whole piece, and just fold it over to the back side, or should I do the front and back trim as 2 seperate pieces.
then, I have no sewing machine. can I do a neat and tidy job by hand, or should I wait for my friend to come back from school, and bug her? or should I get that iron on glue stuff for people that can't sew. time is slowly creeping up.

Okie, progress pic time ^^

The Caimie star is just a first attempt, but I just wanted to check the size, it always looks different on the shirt, and I cut it out really crappily so I'm gonna probably do it again anyway. Also the shirt isn't cut yet either, it's gonna be shorter. I finished the armband for our Usopp yees ^^, and I'm gonna it to him the day after tomorrow, muahaha. And finally, the best plushie I've ever made~ I just glued his face on today, and I'm gonna finish up his hat tonight–-it's not as round as I'd like, and I didn't want to make it too big otherwise he'd be really top-heavy. Other than that it's not bad for something it only took about an hour and a half to make (face not included).Also my friend ordered my Caimie wig, yay! And it's not the one I picked out because they were out of stock of that one, but she actually went on ebay and found me a better one (with only having one crappy reference pic no less)–and it's white, so it'll be easier to dye! But I have to go and work on my Kallen some more now or she'll kill me... she's my Zero cosplayer, so yeah.. I don't want to die by Geass T-T; Lolz.

I know you said you are redoing your caimie star…but you have a thread sticking out of it...and it is annoying me. MUST CUT IT OFF!
Also!!!! I have that same Naruto bank!
-
OH MY GOD SAMI!!! You are gonna make the cutest Camie, GOD O_O I cannot WAIT to see you dressed as her XDDDD Are you gonna have her for Akon? There's supposed to be a Shabondy shoot at the beginning of the day, if you can't make it on Saturday for the shoot though, I'm gonna have Shabondy Usopp..don't be alarmed, I KNOW that is confusing, my sis usually cosplays Usopp, but for a group I've been asked to do Usopp and my sis is doing Duvall xD We'd LOVE to get picks with you dressed as Camie, that would sooo rock. And..please god..let me take a picture with Papagg..please..please oh god that is soooo damn cute xD It is looking GREAT so far reguardless of what you say xD
-
X3 awww sami so cute . . . !!!!
btw we talked and you should do sanji!
No matter what cause would be awesome -
ah.. hello! I usually only lurk here, but seeing all of your fabulous costumes really inspires me to keep trying to improve my own! I actually need some criticism on a prosthetic I'm trying to make:
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1963319/
I'm attempting to make a "doll eyes" prosthetic for Perona. This is a really rough mockup cobbled together from cheap harry potter glasses, part of a halloween mask, and lots of nose putty, but if I actually decide to make it I'll sculpt it out and cast it properly from latex. I'm worried that even if I can get it perfectly smooth and believable, it will still look so creepy as to be distracting from the rest of the costume. I want a person's reaction to be "wow, it's Perona!", not "wow, what's wrong with that girl's face?!" Do you think there's any way I can make this work and not have it be absolutely horrifying? Thank you for any advice! -
@Omnichild: lol, yes, I realize that. I didn't even notice until I was resizing the pic, but I was like "Screw it, I dun wanna put the shirt on again." I wants to cut it off now as well.. maybe I'll photoshop it…XD
@MoonNeko: Squeee, Melo!!! You're gonna be Shabondy Usopp, that is so funny, I was just thinking about making our Usopp do that for Akon!!! And I know, I can't wait to be Caimie, I'm so excited!! X333 And yesh, you can take some pics with Papaggu, maybe I should give him his own photoshoot, lol. If we do get to go to Akon (we're trying reeeeally hard, especially since you and Misty are going ^__^) I'm totally going to be Caimie for that photoshoot.. I might even figure out some way to make her mermaid tail --seen some Ariel cosplayers do it pretty well.
@Lynn: Yesh, I would still loooovvee to be Sanji ^^ And since my Lelouch is getting us a Sanji wig, AND since my dad has practically EVERY color of Sanji-shirt (blue, orange, teal, pink, all really bright too), I totally see that being a possibility. X) Possibly at Akon maybe >.> <.< muahahaa..
Also welcome, Darkin! Looks like you're making steady progress on that Perona, it looks great, and I'd definitly ask PirateNeko for some advice, she makes some kick-ass prosthetic... she's a wicked Kaku ^-^
-
YESH be SANJI!
and tell Alex i say hi btw!Darkin: Wow . . doing protetic eyes is like Above and BEyond the simple cosplay and goes into epic.
Cant wait to see your finished product of the full outfit -
I recently did Boa Hancock for One Piece. The funny thing was that the official color scan came out a week before the con I went to! Almost had a heart attack. Just wanted to share. Its one of my first cosplays so I know its not the best work >.<
-
O_O Whoa. Still VERY nice, Marguerite, I would never be brave enough to cosplay her, and you were AWESOME. Freakin' Awesome ^-^ By the way, what ARE the official colors? I have yet to see a spread so I'm clueless… But I'll probably like the ones that you picked out better anyway, I love blues and yellows combination. :3
-
Thankies! I didn't think anyone would like it >.<
Someone who knew Boa at the con asked me to kick her kitten plushie. It was WAY Too much fun.
When the colors for Marguerite come out, I'm going to jump on it! -
Boa was on a Shibukai spread a few chapters back, her colors are pink, and yellow
full promps Marg for having the guts to do such a cosplay, I would never have such a nice figure.
-

Spoiled for HUGE pic.

This is probably the wrong place to ask, but I was wondering if anyone has any anime screencaps of Eyeshield 21 episodes, specifically of The Kid in his normal cowboy-themed clothes or whatever the school uniform is. Bascially, his non-football uniform. I tried finding manga spreads, but all I've been able to see is a brown cowboy hat. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Wow…someone is going to be showing a lot of legs when we go do our photoshoot...
Wait...we are both going to be showing a lot of skin at that photoshoot. Probably why boys aren't allowed huh?
Pffft....I need to double my work out regime now. I am nowhere near in shape enough to be doing Boa.
-
Don't worry, I'm going to be rigging in a bra system into the shirt and you will be taped in to the n'erend. About half done cutting out the applique for the skirt now. I'll post one of the finished ones when they're done.
-
OH snap xD That is one hella awesome Boa Hancock! I love the colors you went with toooo sooo pretty xDDDD
And Sami, I don't care WHO you dress as at Akon, I'll just be happy to get to take pics with you! Even if you do Luffy I'll still be wanting to take pics X3 Especially since my sis and I are cosplaying Kidd and Drake, if you were Luffy you'd actually not be taller than me..and that would be a first.. especially since being 5 ft tall sucks soo much sometimes xD I really hope you guys get to go!!!

They're actually hand-painted on. If you are looking to do fabric appliques though, I recommend something called "heat & bond". It's really nice and easy to work with.

Thank you for any advice!My honest advice is to use makeup rather than trying to make a prosthetic for something like this. Fake eyelashes and other makeup techniques can be used to make your eyes look larger than they actually are, and as an added bonus, they don't look as terrifying. Keep experimenting with prosthetics, though. I like what you're trying, but it is very distracting, and I don't think that's the effect you're going for.

Oh man Spork..I cannot wait to meet you at Akon xDDD Your cosplay is soo spectacular along with Kyra's I'll feel like I'm around celebrities _____

Hey guys, I've got an extra cosplay open. For Fanime this year, I'm going as Russia from Axis Powers Hetalia with a group (we're doing a skit as well), but I'm only wearing that outfit on Saturday. Sunday's all mine and I want to do something One Piece related. Franky's my natural first choice, but I'm saving him until Anime Expo. So, out of the following people, who would be somewhat easy to make and a lot of fun to cosplay? I'm 6'2" with blue eyes and brown hair if that makes any difference (although I will have a blonde wig from Russia).
Kaku
Bellamy
Paulie
Sanji
Chopper
Yorki -
If you decide on Yorki, you MUST get someone to cosplay as Human Brooke with you!
-

Kaku
Bellamy
Paulie
Sanji
Chopper
YorkiRussia's hair is too long to pull off nicely as bellamy, I would say eather Paulie or Sanji, making Russia's hair into that wouldnt take much.
BTW . . . you must post a pick of your Russia cosplay ( I<3 APH)
-
I'm the only Bellamy around here smiles sadistically Er..j/k xDDD
I agree with Lynn though, plus there is NEVER ENOUGH PAULIE LOVE!!! EVER!!!! I've got ALL the materials to make Paulie EXCEPT the cigars and the wig =_=;; ughhh I regret cutting my hair for Sanji soooooo badly..argh…Damn you pretty boys!! shakes fist
-
Damnit, Spork you're so lucky! I've been waiting to do that color spread since last year!
Cactus, Omni, good luck on finding a bra system where you're not falling out of your tops.

Hello everyone!
Well, I came in here to ask a few ideas because me and my friends are going to our first convention (Anime Expo) and we're coming up with ideas.
Now, we are going to go all four days and we're going to cosplay as two sets of characters, Code Geass and One Piece.I'm going as Lloyd and Trafalgar Law, another friend is going as Collin and Nami (not sure on which outfit, but I'm going to find pictures of a bunch and give them to her so that she can decide), another friend is going as Robo-Orange (aka. Jeremiah) and Ao Kiji (which brings about the problem of his hair, which will take forever to bleach and dye due to length and thickness, any ideas to remedy this?), and my last friend is going as Lelouch (we're not sure on his One Piece character, but someone that has Lelouch's hair length [and dirty blonde hair since that is my friend's hair color]).
Any tips one the costumes would be nice to. During next week we all plan on getting together and going to a thrift store to get clothing.
Thanks very much! (And I hope a few of you guy's are going too so we can meet up!…that didn't sound creepy, did it? :wassat: -
Making a relevant post now.
Applique to be top-stitched for Hancock skirt. 180 snakes to cut out now.

(And I hope a few of you guy's are going too so we can meet up!…that didn't sound creepy, did it? :wassat:Isn't Ao Kiji's hair black? or am i thinking of a different charicter? and Lelouch's hair is black, so why is hair color a problem? Luffy has black hair. Unless your gonna have a blonde lelouch?
-
It is, but Jeremiah's hair is a teal.
There is no problem with my friend doing Lelouch (Josh is his name) even with the different hair color, but he wants to do a One Piece character with dirty blonde hair around Lelouch's hair length.
Was my original post too confusing? Looking back it seems like it. :P -
can jerimiah wear a wig?
and josh is gonna be a blonde lelouch? what about sanji then? i think the hair is pretty close, just styled different.
-
Chris (who is going as Jeremiah) wants to not wear one, but the hassle of it all makes me want to slap him and just force him to wear the wig. I'll try to convince him on that.
Sanji is good, I'll run it by him. Any others you can think of? Thanks.
-

Do it. It's silly reasoning when you have to have different colored hair for all your characters. Refusing to be logical gives him no right to complain.
-
just force him to wear the wig.
It is WIG time. Seriously, it's going to be more of a hassle to figure out characters and try to keep redoing your hair than it is to put on a wig. Think of it like a hair-covered baseball cap. There are plenty of awesome wigs on eBay for $25 or so. Tell your friend to not be afraid of the wig!
Progress on my 10th Anniversary colorspread costume
Sporkbot, you look AWESOME. Plz to be bringing this to AX?? I'm coercing my friends into a Movie 10 group, and I've finally got the correct white pinstriped suit to wear. I'm pretty sure I saw you at Fanime, but I only had a plain white suit back then.
-

Ah, that was you? I saw you, then! When I'm not with my friends, I'm pretty silent in person, so I didn't say anything. You looked awesome though.
-
Dude, Iroha I remember that costume from Fanime! I had no idea that was you, holy crap!
-
Thanks for the ideas, and I'm pretty certain that I've convinced my friend to wear the wig. I didn't have to beat him, though. :P
-
….................................................................really....?
Was that Directed to the Color spread, or the bra system comment?
-
So it's final. I will be Paulie at Fanime after being Russia on Saturday.
-
Made some progress on Jubia/Lluvia today. Have a pic dump.

I'm really looking forward to Fanime and AX this year if only because I can start saying "oh hai I know you/you know me from the internet" rather than be a total stranger and only say "oh hai" :D
Also, to make this cosplay related, Ichnob is currently at my place sewing a vest together while I offer advice and read manga. To be fair though, I spent most of the day fighting with a suit jacket pattern. Seriously, lapels are horrible.
-
So it's final. I will be Paulie at Fanime after being Russia on Saturday.
SCORE Awesome ness!!!
You must post pics after Fanime -
