the only thing I'd charge $300 for would be a Kidd coat… and I wouldn't charge so little... it would be MUCH MORE because I swear I will NEVER make another x__x; EVER. It was so hard but so worth it cause my sis loves it ;____; I've seen other Kidd coats in pictures, I'm sure they didn't have as much trouble as me xDD

Oh yeah, something like Kidd's coat or Alabasta!Croc would be worth $300+ >_> But not a plain coat. Bullshit, that still has me pissed off DX
Charli was charging me $50, and I had already bought all the materials so.. if you factored in materials (I got all of my mine on sale though)… maybe $80-$100?
-
yeah O.O that wouldn't be bad for something so nice! I wouldn't pay it if I could make it myself, but lets be honest >__> we all know I pay OUT THE ASS for material because I'm picky and I like the stuff that feels nice xD so I'll end up paying even more in materials and crap when it's not necessary. For Inazuma, I happened to have orange suede left over from something that never happened… then I was angry cause I couldn't find white suede xD
I also wanted to make the Admirals coats out of something immaculate, but went for something generic I could iron on xD

That'll work out well in the end though. Example: (and please ignore the bad photo and other Luffy cosplayers in the photo)
!
See Luffy at the forefront wearing the red Pirate King coat? That's made out of velvet. Hardcore. But of course, it's difficult to maintain and hard to iron. Pretty much have to care for it nonstop. Also, REALLY expensive. They did a great job with it, but to me, that's a lot of hassle to take care of something like that.
I believe his name is Chris, from Crazy Crazy Rainbow Stars. And they're good people.
-
my god I love captains coats, and as someone who frequents a fabric store… that velvet is EXPENSIVE but so nice but I wouldn't ever make something with it because usually the stuff I make has stupid crap on the back so much hand sewing I'd be afraid I'd mess up D: but that IS AMAZING!!!! the color looks so VIBRANT! at the risk of being generic luffy #395 I really like cosplaying Luffy and one day I'd LOVE to do a version with a captains coat xDD
I even made Impel Down Luffy for the hell of it x__x; at least I'll make all the other people look tall.......... xD:
-
i love you guys (V)

Oh yeah did you see what pattern you used for the Admirals' coats??
If I had the money and I knew a bit more about what I was doing, I would so pay out the ass for shiny things XD I did for Trucy's cape, and I think it was well worth it, even though I made the cape way too big, it still looked friggen awesome XD
I really need to take a class, I probably will take some offered at school in the fashions dept. Especially the ones on the textiles (to learn the different properties of fabrics and what they can be/can't be used for XD) and pattern drafting. I think I will LOVE sewing when I can figure out how to easily make patterns my size, seeing as Simplicity loves to run 2-3 sizes too small =_= That or I should just use McCalls, despite how much they have confused me, they usually come out being a little big.
My grandma said she gave up sewing when they changed their format and it resulted in everything she had sewn being way too small. She's also very sick and I'm afraid she'll take a sledge hammer to that stupid sewing machine if she had to mess with it again. It took FOREVER for her to help me finish Ponyo because that machine is so retarded DX I had some problems with it doing the shirt for my secret, but it was just sewing 3 pieces together, so it didn't have as many times where it would start acting retarded =_= I hope it will sew the fur since it's about the same thickness as the fleece and it loved the fleece. Or I'll have to rape my friend's sewing machine to sew it as well D: Which she won't like if I kill it XD
-
T____T buu you know some of us other people can sew too…
When I make the Croc coat for my friend it's going to have fur for the collar, but it won't be lined or made of fur, the actual coat. It doesn't look like it's made of fur at all like his other coat. I know Kaizoku-Syns was, and it was SLICK AS ALL HELL UNF but if I did make this out of all fur, it would cost a fortune and it would take FAR LONGER but I know I can probably get a regular coat done in a day if I don't get side tracked.
Also, by regular I mean a coat with lining, some form of collar, and cuffs. If it has 20 buttons, or 10 buttons and 10 button holes, designs on the collar, gold trim, pauldrons, that NO I couldn't do all in a day x__x; but Crocs coat looks simple and SLICK so I think I could get it done quick. That was my plan anyways T_T until the fur peeps said they wouldn't get the grey in for 3 weeks CRIES but I went with a differnet color that will hopefully look nice too crosses fingers
Whatever happened to that Law hat you were going to make me since I made that sword for you guys? =3 (might get my 6'4 tall boyfriend to cosplay him, maybe XD)
-

She wears it. I see it on FB.
-
No, she told me at the time that she had extra fabric, and I requested a Law hat XD Because I think its so darn cute anyway, I loved how it turned out
-
Oh, my mistake. :X
-
They have fabric perfect for a Law hat at Golden D'or, I've been tempted to get one just have one for myself, it is really cute XD
-
-
You're on fb? Hmmm need to add you as friend.
You too? You can find me on facebook.com/ichnob
edit–
And I still need to "add" you on ACParadise. I haven't been on there since I entered that contest. If I don't do it today, you can internet slap me. -
Yes you do need to add me on ACP. :P
And just sent you a request on FB
-
I didn't think you were still interested, Neko, cause you don't cosplay OP anymore ;3; btw… 6'4"!??? DAMN. That's too tall for Law... xDDD why is everyone so freakishly tall???? Why am I so freakishly short T__T ugh.
working on pauldrons ... hating how they look like small cushions because I used soft foam, covered it in fabric, and sewed the rope and trim on.. I don't want to be made fun of T________T UGH. Plus all the hand sewing is driving me MAD rips out hair
I'd ask for advice on pauldrons but I doubt I'll really get any plus I already have them all cut out and ready to be covered xD I just hope they don't look as retarded and lame as I feel they do T_T
-
They do sell slightly thicker Fun Foam. Maybe you can layer 2 pieces together? I think I'm going to use Balsa wood. Gonna ask Syn and iroha for help for my admiral coat.
-
I've only seen balsa wood that is like SO THIN and brittle if you touch it.. it breaks… D: is there some that is thicker and carvable or do I need to buy like 10 sheets of it or 20 sheets of it to stack together to make the right shape? i didn't know where Kaizoku-Syn got his perfect amazing balsa wood for his Buggy T_T the only balsa wood I actually USED was on my Buggy... and it was like less than a cm thick and it was shitty and terrible and broke the instant I put my coat on T_T I must be doing it wrong...

I just don't have the time, but when I do, I want to do some more female characters. I really want to cosplay Bonney and have my bf as Law. And perhaps I may cosplay Robin again and have me a tall sexy Zoro <333. And hey, being tall doesn't matter, what about all those comments about being too short to cosplay guys? Same principle, height really should not matter XD
And if you still can make that hat, I'd appreciate it <3 (may even ask you to make it a bit bigger ;p)
-
those look AWESOME too bad the pauldrons on the admirals are like completely simplistic compared to the amazing process of all that __ I don't think I'd even try to go for sheet metal but I wish I knew how xDD thank you so much for the links!! I'm SO going to try one of those methods to make Hawkins armor on his arm… not going to make it out of floppy shit material this time =_= UGH
also, @Neko, I can probably get it made but doubt it'll happen before A-Kon I'm sorry T____T unless I get EVERYTHING done x.x
and you two would probably make a GREAT Bonney and Law xD we just would look like midgets cosplaying with you u__u I don't care about height, I just don't want to be made fun of for being 'hey that's that midget Drake!!' xD but oh well people are gonna say it anyways. Atleast you guys are probably perfectly acurate hight that way xD
damn you pauldrons... and the hand sewing >__< FJLSKDNFLSKNDF took pictures of the pauldron pinned to the coat shoulder. Doesn't look HORRIBLE but after I sewed on the rope/bias... it uh... doesn't look like a circle anymore. Time to redo x_x; I'll get it right by god!
-
That;s because the shoulder thing on the general's jackets isn't called a pauldron. It is called epaulettes
2 THis one is missing the second half of the tutorial though…

WOW..that second tutorial I was like 'What is this gonna be???' xDDD Then.. once they started to make it I was like 'HO MY GAWD.. FUCKING AMAZING __
Okay.. Omni, you are my official go-to girl of tutorial awesomeness <3 Thankyou!!!! ___
-
Oh wow I would not have the patience to make individual twisted strands. I just go to the furniture fabric section at Joann's and get the pre-made gold tassel trim. It's $6/yd or something, but my time is worth more.
Also, you can use any stiff material for epaulets. Wood is not the only choice. Mine are made from cardboard and craft foam covered in fabric. "Real" military epaulets are made out of stiff fabric braid so I like going with the fabric-covered look.

Well take your time on that, we're not doing it till Yule Con or Anime Fest. He agreed to do it, but wants to do it at a later year con ^_^ So, yay! I'm going to have a sexy Law to walk around with. Gotta keep working on losing weight so I can make a good Bonney. And you know I would love it if you and your sis were Super Novas again.
I'd greatly appreciate it btw! I can probably do the rest by myself. Including the sword, since I would need to somehow make it bigger… Oh boy. Hope I can make it as good as I did the one for you, I like how it came out.
-
@ Coral: roflmao, well honestly it is really easy to find tutorials I usually do a search for "How to make x" or "x tutorials" and then just click on a few links until I get what I like. And the nice thing about tutorials, if it gives you ideas about how to do things. You can either follow it exactly or alter it to your liking.
@Iroha: hahaha, I would do the same thing. But mine would be more along the line of laziness. I guess those who do have all that patience would have a sense of pride and accomplishment. But I am sooo lazy.
-
It's finally Saturday!!! YESSSSSS x3 cosplay progress will ensue LATER.. cannot WAIT xD Got everything ready for it it too, bringing both Ivankov wigs to show my friends JUST how awful the piece of shit was that I ordered first off ebay =_=;
Just remember, if you, ANY of your need an afro for ANY reason, Cosworx was GREAT, and the afro is AMAZING. NEVER go through ebay for Afro's. EVER
-
Gotta finish cleaning so I can finish my secret's coat (atleast sewing it, I can add what I need to add to it after I finish Croc's coat) then get started on Croc's _
-
so who els should i CP as?
-
not sure who else you should cosplay, Helpmenow xDD
I DID get some progress today ;____; by today I mean 11:30 pm to 4am xD EEEE IVACHAN!!!!!!!!!! squeeeeee No pics, it's not done yet but I got the most important part done ;_____; I know nobody will ever understand this but I'm SO PROUD that it didn't turn out to fail!!
now I need to get Inazuma done/started, Finish the admirals coats and suits, Iva's crown, and hmmm the mayor and Paulie xD
also, we had our Aokiji try on the wig with a sleep mask… CUTEST THING EVER u she's gonna look SO GREAT!! I need to work hard to look good as Kizaru now!!
-
Who's going to be your Aokiji? And I really want to see how Iva is going to turn out. I just want to see progress pics of all of you guys! u
-
so who els should i CP as?
Big dudes. Marines like Garp or Sengoku. If you want to do other BB Pirates, then Burgess or Shiryuu. And then, there's the random big people like Dalton, Igaram, or Kuma. Or you can get a sumo suit and dress up as Sattori. Ho-ho-HOH! :D
And if you're comfortable with Franky, what about Sentoumaru?
-
I wish I could have Shiryuu done in time to take pictures with your Blackbeard, but alas ;_; I'll probably take him to everything next year though XDDD Esp Fanime and Otakon~
Sentoumaru cosplay would be like =O awesome, I would love to see that XD

Oh man this was a great weekend but it's over too soon. I didn't actually get any sewing projects done, just started. Went shopping in Chinatown, Santee Alley and fabric district. I didn't actually buy any fabric, just trim and serger cone thread/accessories. I have a working serger of my own now, although I'm a little afraid to use it without the manual. I got a nifty wooden katana with sheath because I'm sure it'll come in handy sometime.
Also, I'm redoing my Shanks pants, got the fabric cut out but nothing sewn yet. I'm thinking about taking progress pictures to help anyone who has trouble with pants, if there's any interest in that. The pattern's for a zipper fly, but I'm going to fake the fly front look and just have an elastic waistband.
-
Well everyone, it's been a long and fun road, but Gazille [Fairy Tail] is completely done and debuted at Anime St. Louis this past weekend. And of course, I made sure to have a private photoshoot session just so you guys can see. So, without further ado, here is my completed Gazille cosplay!
!
And another few Fairy Tail photos:

Tabasco Star… get it? lolI hope you guys like it. It took a lot of time and effort and I'm very happy with the end result :)

What was the cp9 guy with the pink hair? Kumario? Think Ussop will learn that revitalize technique and be able to control his body… No fat long nose my friend....it was all just a bad plot point...

i mustang, isn't that an old costume? thought i seen you in it before? :)

prob will learn that but it was mostly for a joke..

when my friend was studying illustration, her class had this project where they had to put different stuff in the paint to get different textures. some guy made fuzzy paint with baby powder. I wanted to try and do that when painting my little hat. There must be some trick cause it didn't make the paint fuzzy, it just made it thicker.
just my hat left to do. that darn hat, which i don't want to do.
-
i mustang, isn't that an old costume? thought i seen you in it before? :)
I have posted various pictures of this cosplay, but this is the first time he's been 100% done, lol
-

Yeah, just messing around but it would be kinda intresting to see.
Hell if Coby can learn cp9 stuff…Imagine Usopp and how fast Sorru would help him run away.
-
oh, i didn't know it was unfinished before. my bad. i don't watch/read fairytale, so i'll use that as my excuse.
but like i probably told you before, it looks awesome
-
Almost done with my sailor moon wig. Just need to style the bangs. Didn't turn out as nice as I wanted.
And the pictures shows how I feel about the wig…the odangos to me don't look even. They are when you look them dead straight on and put a tape measure or ruler across. But looking at them from an angle or if you are me, they don't look even and it is driving me insane!
