That Kaku is SOO GOOD!! self esteem going down…. u_u;
Holy crap JM you look freakin hot as Jyabura!!! <333
EEE, I'm sorry to say neko, but ya, that kaku is awsome!! some people just suit certain charicters, but hey, you can be whoever you want. .(is a fan of manfaye) You did an awsome job on your costume. It's just as good as his
Errr….that Kaku was wearing JEANS. It just...is sloppy in my opinion.
Sorry, no.

…...you do realize that is a chick, right :getlost:
You know what? I don't even care, I got to see JM's Jyabura, so I can now die happy xD WOW.. what a freakin' AMAZING Jyabura T__T I commend her, and cannot WAIT to see more photos from Fanime xD I do think that the group was very nice though, I don't think it matter what the Kaku was wearing Jeans or anything like that, they looked awesome, and they cosplayed as awesome characters. I'm not gonna say that that Kaku looked better than PirateNeko, cause it doesn't matter. I'm not wear NEAR skinny enough to be cosplaying Spandam, but I did anyways and I totally don't claim to be the best, I'm just happy to see others cosplaying characters they like, so I think this group did a great job ;3
blushes
youshi, no I didn't. ya, that is sloppy.
and no, neko, I thought it was a guy. :\
and I take back my comment if "she" is wearing jeans. Neko, you put a lot of work into your costume. You didn't just throw on some jeans.
Maybe they decided to wear jeans cause they were running low on cash? xD Who knows, all I know is that they cosplayed One Piece, and they looked really nice ^^ I don't by any means think they're the best Kaku ever, but they're certainly NOT the worst I've ever seen x_x
Yeah, like I said, I thought their Kaku was awesome! I think what impressed me the most is the color of her hair and the way she did the sideburns _ Sucks she wore jeans, but yeah…But seriously. They are an awesome group, I can never get enough of CP9 groups even if the arc is over, lol!
Exactly, that's just how I feel about it PirateNeko, you took what I was trying to get at xD LOL I still think your hair and sideburns turned out really well too, especially with your tanner skin :3
Honestly, I think the jeans comment is just trying to grasp for something wrong with the costume. She was amazing, and you couldn't even tell that they were jeans in person. In fact, a few of us are looking at the pics right now, and had to go look back at them to see if she really was wearing jeans. The Kaku on this forum works really hard on her costume too, but you don't need to nitpick another cosplayer to make her seem better. They can both be good.
Also, you guys are such flatterers. (man blush) XD I'm so glad you liked my Jyabura!!! I'm sad that I totally left my tie on the bed, but it covered up my sexy fake muscles anyway.
Those were some sexy looking muscles JM XD Damn I wish I was at Fanime XP
I would've let you touch them. 8D
I'd be jealous since I dont have Rip Stomach XD

You know, I didn't even think about the tie till you said something! Still, you pulled him off so well I doubt anyone else noticed XD

Totally agree with you JM!!! I'm pretty sure I've had to wear mismatching things before x_x;; I mean.. I KNOW I have XD LOL Mine was really obvious and I didn't care, I was having a BLAST O_O!!! I'm soo glad I got to see pics of you all since there's no way I could go, I am impatiently waiting on pics of the Thriller Bark group!!! Ohhhhh xD I've seen bits and pieces of the Perona in your group, and I can't WAIT to see the rest of them!! Especially your Ab's costume…been dieing to see it all finished and put together for months xD
And you totally deserve the praise, and I can't help it, I was totally drooling over the Jyabura pics xD He'd totally be the one I cosplayed if not for Spandam xD Damn you Spanda... XD LOL
Dude, Jyabura was so much fun to cosplay. I got to get away with doing crazy expressions and poses. That's a big reason I love doing OP cosplay all the time! :D

[http://www.acparadise.com/acp/cons.php?cyid=564&t=4&s=332#pics[/quote[/COLOR]]I have to say- that's a pretty fantastic looking chest on that Jyabura! They all look really good- I couldn't even tell Kaku's pants were jeans until someone mentioned it.. I have to say though, that Lucci is pretty awesome too. :wub:](http://www.acparadise.com/acp/cons.php?cyid=564&t=4&s=332#pics[/quote)

He does look pretty good.

Pencil and Spork, I'd like to join the fanclub that's gathered for you two.. it's so AWESOME to see people do characters beautifully the way you ladies have!
Annnnd something I found over on cure tonight:
I do so enjoy that Captain Kidd.
That Law cosplayer just helped me with my Law cosplay lol
Kidd look really impressive!
@ Toshiya - I wonder how? XD
It got me a better view on Law. But it bothers me that I dont know what kind of Yellow/Orange it is. Should it be darker or the right size? lol other than that ya.
Goldenrod?
Something like in this color? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v344/RenegadePocky/inprogress%20costumes/2008-10-06-70319.jpg
Found a couple more:
!
i am not really impressed with the law (i think i could do a better one), but that kidd is epic to say the least
The Kidd's coat is looking pretty good. The one drawback for me is the goggles.
As for Law's color… It's kind of a mustard? I dunno if it's just the lighting, but the latter Law coat has better colors fabric-wise.

Can someone help me out with Zoro's 3 swords or did everyone make them?
Can someone help me out with Zoro's 3 swords or did everyone make them?
I made mine. What do you need to know?
I don't really have any other pictures of them…
what did you make them out of and how do you hold them on your side?
Also im sure you made the haramaki,so what did you make it out of?
it really depends on how much time you want to spend time on your sword. Mine is made of a combination of Balsa wood and basic 4x4. There other methods, but woods the easiest to manipulate in terms of tools easiest to use if you don't have a metal workshop. And most cons don't allow metal swords anyway. And the haramaki is based on your own personal taste. But for it to look good you kinda have to have a stuffing effect so that the haramaki looks kinda bulky and give it a 3-D effect.
if you do a bit of searching, pirate neko made hers too. I think she posted progression picksif you look back in some other threads a bit.
There's a wooden katana tutorial on deviantART. It was mainly used for the swords in Bleach, but the template can be easily modified for Zoro's katanas. Thing is, you'll need to plunk down extra cash for all the tools you need to make it (like a planer). This method can be expensive, but it develops a lot of hand skills and is quite durable and best suited for cosplaying.
what is the best material used for the haramaki and pants?
As for swords ill try the wood and then what,what kind of paint should i use if paint was really used?
Using spray paint is fine. Just make sure to get some sand paper too, just in case you mess up the paint job.
anything else besides that that i should know when making the katana and haramaki?
hmmm, for the haramaki, i'd say use a rib knit fabric like this:
http://www.trimfabric.com/3f-88.html
i saw a Soccor Special Zoro use it and he's prolly one of the best i've ever seen. it also might be easier to get the lines on the haramaki right with that type of fabric
now, to get a bit back on topic, OMG the Sanji that lobster posted back on page 8 (yep, that long ago) is what i ASPIRE to be! haha, other than the shirt being a little to dark, it = perfect
AND, Sills_Heat is probably my favorite Ace ever! just wish that when i get my Vivi done i could snap a few pics with you

yep, me gusta mucho :happy:

My Haramaki is made out of a blanket, that was a ribbed knit. The swords are attatched to my waist with a belt. I bought the swords from a shop online called Martial Mart.
They're solid wood, so they can get heavy if you carry them for a long time. For ease of con activities, plastic ones are pretty good. If you plan on having some nice pictures taken, I really suggest having some swords that actually look like swords.

I was on DA and found this Nami cosply. She is amazing!

Hmm, I should totally think about remaking my haramaki someday, or darken the one I have because the color is too light. Mine was made out of a ribbed tanktop from some shop at the Plaza across from the hotel that A-kon was at. I just cut off the collar and folded it in on itself. Since then I've hemmed it down to fit me better since I've lost weight since then ^^
(this is to Santoryu Master)
As for my swords, they are wooden bokken I got from E Bay, without hilt guards since I wanted to make my own. I used circular pieces of wood that I bought from Hobby Lobby, and cut them to the desired shapes (with help from my step dad). For the wrapping on the hilts I used bias tape, which someday I'd like to fix and make more accurate since I ran out of time on mine. And I spray painted all of the swords, used a gold pen for the details on Yubashiri and Shuusui. BTW I had originally made Shuusui purple for some stupid reason, but I am going to repaint it black because I think it would look better.

Found this ad for the cosplay magazine COSMODE. from what i've been told, everyone who appears in the magazine is a legit cosplayer, not a model. And in some of the specials, they include American cosplayers. i would've tried sending in a pic of one of my costumes, but you have to be 18+ :(
Anyway, awesome Kohza and Vivi:
!
Only crap, that Vivi… that has to be photoshopped. I mean... she's too perfect. She even has the long neck. O_O
Found this on a forum as someone's avatar, it impressed me:
