hmmm that is an interesting idea….
Post OP Cosplayers that Really Impress You
-
-
If you want it to be removable I would recommend to use either a head band that you mount it onto (the wig for an Iva cosplay should more than cover it up) or you can add hair clips to the base of the crown and clip it into the wig.
-
yeah I was thinking of a head band. But because Iva's hair is an afro it might squish a part of it down and not look right.
-
just use a thinner headband : )
-
So here's something (not made by me) that was edited from the ALA pictures just for the latest chapter (570).

binkx….. WOW!!!!!! I was thinking the same thing for Iva-Chans crown... mounting it on a head band under the wig but glueing it, if light weight enough, would work too xD how many uses can a GIANT purple curly afro have BUT to be an Iva-Chan wig xDD
You guys were simply AMAZING ;____; I'd LOVE to know your wig process for Inzauma since I'm doing the undesirable cream sickle version xD I'm thinking of just getting a white wig and styrofoam and wrapping it around styrofoam balls/half orb for the top, and then marker dying half of it by hand.... xD I know the other Inzauma got a black/white wig but mines gonna need to be orange and white xDD
You guys seriously... I can't stop looking at that picture __ it's amazing, especially the Iva-Chans make up __ just... AMAZING
-
@Blinkx: heehee I found you ACP. Your other cosplays are beautiful as well. Especially Princess.
-
Ooo Binkx, I didn't recognize you with that centerfold type pic which is hot. =D You guys deserve every praise you get cause that was a well made and planned suprise. You gotta do the creamsicle version one day.
-
@omnichild: Thank you so much! My Apc is still being touched up at the moment ( I just activated it ^_^) but you can see pretty much everything I've made at my coscom or on my cure. (which I will now shamelessly plug)
CoralSnake: Oh man, we can talk all day about Inazuma. PM me and I will tell you all about that wig.
Kaizoku-Syn: BUGGY PICS, STAT.
-
Heehee yeah I am checking out your coscom now. And yes update more of your ACP! I prefer that site over the other two. XD
-
@Binkx–pfffft. Been trying to update it, but it's been taking me a million years since the laptop went on the fritz. BTW--I got the images from Ichnob, using the doflamingo/croc as an avatar. so thanks--
-
@Kaizoku-Syn: Kate and I have been talking Dofla coat. We have an idea.
Also, expect more pics like that. -
If you guys have a really awesome idea for his coat..I'd love to know ;_; I wanna do the best Doflamingo I can xD I mean..I'm a girl and all, but that hardly matters to me XDDD
Also Binkx..I LOVE YOU and your Iva-chan ____
MORE PICS MORE PICS!!!
-
Once we make the coat I am sure Iroha and I will post many pics and descriptions of our ways and methods. We still need to re-work our hook. Did we get a shot of our hook in this thread?
-
I haven't seen the hook yet, binkx D: also… you guys are making a Doflamingo too????? ___ I'd LOVE to know how you're making it... I could really use some advice ;_; I know I can make everything else but that... I just want it to be all fluffy xD ... er feathery xD
-
Wow these are so good!
-
aww that means when I do the orange creamsicle version I'll be shunned… xDDD
-
@CoralSnake: Naaaah. Well, maybe a little ;)
-
@CoralSnake: Heehee, perhaps…just a bit...but we still lurve you~ XDD
-
LOL I'll just have to make sure it's extra awesome… somehow xD still afraid of what kind of wig to get D: I know it's gotta be a white one xD;
-
Lol, well good luck! ^^ You don't have to be afraid about your wig. <=3 Gods know mine wasn't anything fancy when I got it. XD; It cost, like $20 on eBay. It's what you do with it afterwards that counts. I guess I just got lucky, though… ^w^; Still, I hope you'll find something decent. ^^
-
Oops here's the hook that Binkx and I made:
I can't find a pic online of the exact parts we used, but Home Depot sells these big shower drains that are half dome-shaped. So we stuck two of them together with some wonderflex, some foam rubber garage door insulation and electrical tape and hot glue. Then we topped it all off with a toy pirate hook and painted the whole thing gold. The shower drains are STRONG and hard to cut, but the end result is great because it's really sturdy.
The hook is a big small in proportion to the hook, but it's totally removable so we can build a better hook and insert it later. Not bad for a few hours of work spread over a couple days.
-
oh my god… AMAZING HOOK IS AMAZING __ I might actually be able to buy those parts and make it xD
however... what... did you use to cut the shower drains? and which part of it is wonderflex? I've never used it but heard it's AMAZING _ could you recommend a place to get it or how much of it to get? I'm always afraid that even if I got it... I'd get too little o.o

This post is deleted!
-
…I like Creamsicle!Inazuma. But then again, I have a long, passionate love affair with the color orange, so I'm biased. XD;
I'm curious if anyone here's ever seen/done a Dr. Kureha (aka Doctorine) cosplay. Still one of my favorite characters, and I hope to work on a cosplay for her after AN2010.
-
yeah I have actually seen a good cosplay of the Doctorine. I'll see if I can find it.
-
@CoralSnake : Iroha has a bad ass dremel tool that we used initially until the battery died and we didn't have a charger. Then we switched to a hand saw and went to town. I won't lie, it was really hard. That plastic is meant to hold up for like a million years.
-
-
Yeah you definitely want a power tool of some sort to go through that plastic. Also, the Wonderflex part is in the center between the two drain halves to make the overall shape longer. It's about 4" long, but it's covered up with the door insulation so you don't even see it. You could substitute anything decently hard that you can shape into a long ring to space out the halves - plastic, sheet metal, maybe even cardboard.
Edit: Good god cactusmomma, your Buggy avatar caption just made my day.
-
Oops here's the hook that Binkx and I made:
Oh. My. GOD. That is nothing short of epic. Was it heavy, I wonder?
-
nope, not at all. With the insulation it's actually squishy in the middle and light.
-
Oh yeah, that's an epic Kureha.
Quoted for truth. I aspire to do at least half the justice this cosplayer did the character…
-
OH wow that is an amazing Kureha!! She even has the right body type for her!
-
ok this is NOT directed at anyone. I was browsing through demotivators and suddenly this poped so though I'll share

maybe that was just a stupid mock up picture… I've seen SO MANY WORSE cosplays xD but still. Before I'd dress up as an eyebrowless character I'd try to get rid of my eyebrows somehow xD
-

The PAIN XD Getting rid of your eyebrows (even with make-up for a few hours period) makes you look freaky as hell (and yeah, I WOULD know XD)
-
this reminds me of one of my highschool friends, who was dealing with some emotional issues at the time, and decided to shave off his eyebrows right before we went to go get a group grad photo! We were all mad at him.
-
oh! since we're talking about impressive stuff, Iroha's pockets on her Unlimited Adventure Luffy made me so happy! I wanted to crawl in them and search for meat.
-
EVERYTHING about her cosplay is amazing ;___; I wish I lived closer so I could watch her make that stuff… hell I'd be happy to watch ANYONE make something since I feel like such a novice compared to the CA cosplayers made of so much WIN **
-
I am actually hiding in that pocket, eating all the meat.
Also, Kaizoku-Syn needs more belts for this costume. There are obviously not enough on his leg. -
So I am on facebook when I look over to the side corner that recommends me friends and it recommended that I become friends with this awesome dude.
!
I laughed for a bit and looked through some of his pictures but didn't friend him. XD
-
tell me his FB I wanna stalk him _ LOL <333333 xD
-
sent it to you in a pm.
FFFFFFFFFFFFF looking through his pictures and he is the Mistgun cosplayer I saw a few months ago online.
<3 -
thanks xDD I'll feel like a creepy stalker if I actually do it D: but he looks so awesome ;___; I wish I lived in CA or closer I'd LOVE to meet all the awesome OP cosplayers xD
-
hahaha that is why I didn't add him as a friend. I do have a friend in common with him though. But since I don't really know him, I don't want him to think I am some weird creepy girl.
-
Hahaha- yeah- He's pretty much the best. We all did Fairy Tail back in April of this year (the Bon Chan was Luxux, I did Erza and Edge did Mistgun) with a huge group of people.
-
lol I knew the Bon Chan was Luxus. XD I am friends with Evan on Facebook. Evan is a pretty chill dude. I want him to come to ACen.
-
I quite enjoy the makeup job here:
