Ivakov cosplay would be great though! You is just silly.
Throughout this month, we will be testing new features (like search) so you may experience some hiccups from time to time. We'll try to not be too disruptive...

they'd certainly be the talk of the town.
My roomates are even excited about my cosplay. they kept asking about the charicters, and want to see me before I go tomorrow.
-
Ugh, I'm really in a pickle on whether or not to cosplay at A-Kon.
My money situation is looking a bit iffy atm, and well, I'm not 100% sure if I'd be able to enjoy A-Kon weekend if a good portion of my spending money went to cosplay-related stuff, as I'd rather much save the cosplay itself altogether for Oni-Con or Ikkicon.
This sucks because I knew this might've happened. Damn work and its terrible timing on paychecks.
Halp.
-
I don't have the confidence or body type to cosplay either male or female Ivachan but seriously… if I could... I SO WOULD. SO SO SO WOULD. JUST TO see how many times I got mistaken for Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror Pictures Show xDDD
and fuck... still... working on shit Dx had to take a nap since I stayed up all night drawing like a dumbass x___x; Had... to get my drawing fix xD
and Hoffy, you should maybe wait till next time cause I know how you feel except I was DETERMINED To spend money for cosplay because I'm u sually in cosplay from the time I get there until I leave cause i'd rather people not see me xDDD but if you think spending money on cosplay will depleat your founds and make you uncomfortable, I say wait n__n there's always the next con! I don't think I'll have much spending cash/money at all >__>;; but by god I'll have cosplay xD bad CS and your priorities are aweful... xDDD

i agree. don't worry about it man. or do you have an old, already made cosplay, or can you borrow one from someone?

Yeah, I wanted to have that Luffy done by then, but the fur I always get for my shorts is pretty costly without a hookup from the wife of a good friend of mine who works at Hancock Fabrics (OP reference, much?). There's that, and the fact that I wanted to make quite a few alterations on my vest that it'd be too time consuming to make it look accurate.
I mean, I do have the Enies Lobby Luffy, but sweet Jesus, I've worn that version so many times I've lost count by now. But yeah, I think if I wait to debut it later on, it'll be well worth it.
@ CoralSnake: Yeah. I mean, theoretically speaking, I just want to hang out with everyone (i.e.: all of you guys, especially you. ;3), but I felt like I'd be letting you guys down if I didn't have my stuff down together in time.
-
ok, anybody feel like throwing out any pointers. I watched a few youtube videos for how to put on a wig. must be nice when you can manhandle a wig when you put it on, but mine is pre-styled and delicate.

I will help you put your prestyled wig on, Lisa. =D
"Sorry, Dad. I can't play WoW tonight because I've got to go play D&D."

I totally wanna ask Geddoe if he'll cosplay Ivankov. I have a feeling he MIGHT do it just for the Lolz factor xDDD And he has great legs and looks great in stockings.. hehehehe!!
Don't worry about it Hoffy! Don't spend your entire paychecks like I do finishing up my Kidd cosplay ;___; Damn you Kidd!!!!
and wigs are not hard to put on as far as I know, but if ANYONE can show you how to put one on properly, it's the wig master Youshi.

@Youshi:
I will help you put your prestyled wig on, Lisa. =D
XD you gonna come here to canada right now. this one is for anime north. how i wish akon was first. it would have made a lot of things easier.
-
ask Bri to help you with it. Go hunt her down at the con!
-
no idea who that is. I got it on. I'm quite proud. but the walk over to the Renaissance hotel was a little breezy. it kinda messed up the spikes on the wig. T_T
-
Ok, so here we are at the very start of what will be a quick and easy costume. For now I'm startin' Impell down Buggy, but with intention to move on to the regular version sometime down the road near fall. Obviously, gotta style the wig and do up the make-up, but looks to be promising.
-
Thats an awfully big red nose you have there XDDD
I love buggy SOOO much xDDD
-

WHOSE NOSE IS BIG AND RED?!
Lol Yeah, me too. Getting the costume done for Anime Next for the Impell down version. Have a friend I'm trying to convince to do Mr.3.
-
OHHH GOD that would be SOOO EPIC XD If my sister EVER does Impel Down Buggy, I"m sooo gonna be her Mr.3. We're gonna be such assholes too, it seems I ALWAYS get stuck with the douchebag and asshole characters. Lets see, Spandam, Bellamy, Kidd.. hmmm.. I'm also doing Doflamingo at some point, Mouji as well xD and Apoo's pretty full of himself if y ou ask me, but adorable none-the-less. God I want his song as my ring tone now xD

WUT?!?!?! looks for loophole so ya'll can come that sucks, guys! Otakon's like, the only con i go to
but on the bright side, your cosplays are looking most excellent! Which reminds me, i should probably be sewing. Just got the fabric for the unitard and boot covers and all's i did was cut the space for the collar. Wow, I'm progressive -
gasp I'm alives!! Lol, yeah, I haven't been on for like, over a month, only because I've been in a funk over going/not going to certain cons coughakoncough… but it is now certain that I AM going to A-kon. WOOOTT MEE!! XDDDD Unfortunately though since I had thought for certainty for almost a month that we would not be attending my Caimie and our Usopp are not complete T-T... sadness. Only because I have to get the stupid ink dye off the interwebs for my wig and since there's no possibility of it being here in 2 days.. yeah. Teh suck ><. But yay I'm still going!!! And I'm mostly just going to be Luffy all weekend anyways as well. AND since I can't be Caimie I was thinking of doing Impel Down Luffy instead (watch me make it in two days, lulz). Think I'll still bring Papagg though, he's just too cute.
We'll probably be down there either late Thursday evening or afternoon, and we heard there was going to be a Smoker that day so me and Pyro will be going as Alabasta Luffy and Ace on the way down. I am so incredibly happy to be going now, miss all the OP cosplay love.
Also (sorry last thing, I'm hyper right now), when would the Shabondy shoot be on Sat? I so want pics BAD. ^^ Misty that Law stuff looks KICKASS!
-
no idea who that is. I got it on. I'm quite proud. but the walk over to the Renaissance hotel was a little breezy. it kinda messed up the spikes on the wig. T_T
That was a looooooooong walk too. I really hope they decide to utilize other places over that hotel more next year. T_T Did you come to the One Piece gathering on Saturday night? I've got a few pictures from it.. (including Alvida and Hancock snuggling up to Bepo…. and a catfight)... I've also 200+ other pics to sort out. I'll put the OP ones up soon!
-
I'm bumbed that My camera got full when it did, luckily I got a few pictures from that shoot, and other people got tones so ill just have to jack those pictures
I wonder if anyone got video of us skipping…??

Youshi has officially finished Conis, so we took a pic of the finished product.

dies OMFG.. yess.. Sorry you can't finish your Caimie in time ;___; I'm just glad you're going! We originally planned to do Super Nova's on Friday, but I will jump at the opportunity to do them again on Saturday, Kidd's not THAT hard to put on, I just gotta block out my eyebrows, apply lipstick, and probably reapply my nail polish xD But Yeah, totally O__________O
OH And Conis is JUST as adorable as I thought it would be XD Can't WAIT to see it in person __

no.
I had a roomate keep me up all night last week followed by a 12 hour shift, plus busy getting ready for anime north and akon. i needed a day to relax and catch up on sleep. I was there on sunday though with friends.where i live, it takes about 2 hours one way for me to get there. It kinda sucks. It was nice to go with friends for once, and have a ride. and they always use the Renaissance hotel. I think they have shuttle busses going between the 2 hotels? at least they did last year.

Not sure if I should make a new topic or just post here, but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to use for the bottom of Luffy's pants, and the best way to attach it?
-
Here's some wig progress.
[hide]
I spent my weekend working on hairlines for various wigs. Here's my progress so far for Impel Down Buggy. Man, up-do styles take a lot of time to look good.
The hairline is made out of skin top part, so it can be affixed to my head and allow a tight fit ponytail.
Also, kind of cosplay related, since I do it every year before cons (helps with wigs that are close fitted). I just chopped off all my long hair.
[/hide]
-
Use something fuzzy, and sew it on. Iroha has like 3 different versions of Luffy shorts: frayed/braided strands on jean shorts (I think this is her Movie 6 shorts), a very fuzzy blanket, and faux-fur. Faux-fur is the most commonly used material I've seen, and also it looks really good if done right. If you don't live near any type of fabric store that carries faux-fur, look around your local department store for something outside the box that would work: a fuzzy blanket, a really fuzzy towel, or a rug.
-
Like Ichnob said, faux-fur is usually the one that comes out looking really good in photos.
I used this (or something REALLY close to it) for three of my Luffy shorts (normal, Enies Lobby, and Thriller Bark).
-
HOLY CRAP JM.. how do you DO THAT O___O THAT IS AMAZING XDDDDDDDDD If you offered wig making/altering classes, I'd pay just about ANYTHING to learn how to do that ;; GREAT job so far! God you're gonna rock as Impel Down Buggy *_*
And Hoffy xD You have the best Luffy pants, they always look sooo damned cute on you :3
-
And Hoffy xD You have the best Luffy pants, they always look sooo damned cute on you :3
I try, I try.
Ms Cricket and Neko always say its the legs that make the pants epic. XD
-
Thanks MoonNeko! I'm pretty much just winging it on this wig, coming up with ideas on how to do it as I go. It's turning out to be really good practice for more complex stuff I still need to finish!
-
I'm pretty sure without a doubt I'm gonna try and get a wig for Doflamingo, cause.. as much as I wanna use my real hair..I'm thinking give it a month or two.. my hair grows at MONTEROUS pace that I won't have to buy a wig for Paulie, and that'll make me super happy. Plus no matter what I always get my hair butchered, so I'm letting is grow some before I destroy it again. Poor hair pats it We'll see if my Kidd wig looks okay or not x_x;; ahahaha sooo stressing about that XD
-
@JM: I agree that is an amazing looking wig so far!
You guys all make me wish, I had some progress to post on my cosplays. But I haven't even started on any yet!
-
Here's some wig progress.
Lookin' good! Still trying to figure out how the styling thing works, but I got some friends into cosplay who are gonna lend me a hand.
-
Luffy shorts: I haz too many. My recommendation is short fake fur, but wash it before you attach it - it'll get rid of loose hair from where you cut it, and it tends to make the fur more clumpy like the art and less like "I killed small animals and put them on my shorts."
[HIDE]
From left to right:
-Unlimited Adventure shorts with giant long fur (unrealistic yes, but matches how the game renders looked)
-Movie 6/"natural" frayed shorts that I amazingly found in a thrift store. I don't know how to fray it this much while keeping the cloth mostly intact. But does that mean that the Gap actually sold shorts like this in the past??
-Thriller Bark shorts with the baby blanket stuff that's really soft and fuzzy. It looks MUCH better after washing, it sheds and looks kinda curly before washing.
[/HIDE]Also, while I'm posting I want to say how much I like this picture:
[HIDE]
Although the sunlight on the wig kind of looks like I have a big ol' halo. I hope someone got a closeup of my face, the makeup took a long time but I'm really happy with my pointy teeth. I had an awesome time just grinning at people
Next time I want a bigger gun
[/HIDE] -
IROHA.. you make the most badass looking Hiruma EVER O_O there's one other I've seen but she was wearing the foot ball uniform from several Akon's ago ;__; dude she rocked xD But I love your rendition too, soo much xD I too wish you'd gotten a big super humongous gun.. god I love Hiruma xD
-
Horray!! Progress!
Misty that sword looks amazing! It looks so clean. Who's going to be your Hawkins?
I swear, Ms Cricket is the cutest Conis ever~
That wig is looking really good, JM! Also, cute haircut =3
As for me, I've finished both Law's and Norland's swords yesterday. All I can say is wth is up with the dual wrapping on Norland's sword?! That shit took four hands to do >_<
Only thing left for me to do is modify the Henshin belts that Ms Cricket and I will be wearing with our Kamen Rider cosplays =D

Hey everyone!!
This is a question for the wig pros…. How would/could I do Killers wig?? His hair is bloody ridiculous!! D<
-
Well.. I know Youshi did her Calgara wig combining 3 wigs, but.. I wouldn't suggest that unless you have a lot of money to blow on three wigs x_x; I got a Punky wig from Amphigory for Kidd.. actually..I've got it on RIGHT NOW and we're working on the goggles..OH MY GOD.. I'm soo excited.. this wig is soo damn neon..but..it's soo damn amazing.. xDDDD We had to cut soo much off it though =_=;; sadness. I'd look good with a mullet probably.. PFFT. No..no I wouldn't. Trust me XDDDD
-
That could work…Maybe...If I can afford around 150$ for a wig... >w>;; LUCKY!! I think I'm going to work on killer today since I'm sick and not at school
(That's what happens when you gt 6H sleep 4 days in a row, the aftermath of a con XDD) Hmm cutting wigs can be a bit sad LOL Mullllet >w>;;I think I'm going to use this wig for Killer
http://www.cosworx.com/product.php?productid=16463&cat=2471&page=1Oh ya my other question is, which color do you think suits him better a natural blond like this
http://www.cosplay.com/photo/1930088/Or a more yellowish blond
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e317/eebanee/YELLOW-.jpgI think the natural would look better….
-
Christ…Fanime just finished, and I need to get into full swing for AX already. Got the template down for the pirate rifles right now. Need to buy the last few costume pieces. Also, I'm almost finished prepping resin versions of Vash's Revolver and Wolfwood's pistol before I paint them. Hoping to get them signed at AX. Sanding resin gives me a headache though. Next time I work with these guns, I had better do it outside.
-
YESSSS finally have a new icon.. fufufu…Thanks Sis for the spectacular job you did cutting this wig and on EVERY SINGLE OTHER THING O_O And thanks Akutabi for your tutorial on the goggles, for they would NEVER have looked this badass otherwise ;___;
Also this is just a test shot for the wig and goggles, the wig was riding up, the goggles were riding low, and of coarse..I do NOT have the entire cosplay on xDD LMAO
ALSO EEBANEE I like the natural color. I mean.. just look at my wig, it's completely natural. nods No..seriously.. I love the natural one more :3
-
@Ebanee: go with the more natural blonde for him. But if you can find a slightly more yellow blonde it would be perfect. But that other wig is too yellow, I think. And I agree his hair is crazy!
@PN: where are the pictures?!?
