I'll definitely have to check out the Suupaa Kaizoku table.
Tentative cosplay schedule: Rob Lucci, colorwalk Luffy, probably another colorwalk Luffy, some Assassin's Creed cosplay, and maybe an Ocarina of Time character that's been sitting in my closet. 2010 is the year of recycling costumes.
I'm happy you guys are doing Davy Back Games again! I also just sent a pm to the organizer on cos.com. Our gathering is set Saturday, 1:30p, to meet at the fountains in front of the convention center.
I love how the designs on her tights looks so neat and clean.
Dude, good luck with all of that. I have a feeling I should be going at that pace too, but Fanime still seems a year away to me, so I'm being lazy. I dunno, maybe I'll sew a shirt or something. Hahaha.
Omnichild, when am I not fighting a bear?
Hahaha, thanks. Did I mention I made it while saving a baby from an exploding building with dental floss and a tennis ball? Yeah.
Are you still working on stuff for Apoo? How's that going?
It's mostly made out of stuff I had around the house - wood, foam core board, craft foam, paint, and hot glue.
Hullo. I haven't really posted on here for a while, but I started on some more OP cosplay for Fanime. Here's a link to a wip picture:
I gotta say that you did an awesome job for your first con cosplay. Even though you can improve aspects of the costume, it still looks like you put a good amount of effort into what you wore. I like that you actually made big snake earrings.
The first thing you need to do is get a good wig. Even if you cut your hair into Boa Hancock's style, a wig is still easier to deal with in the long run. It's often harder to maintain natural hair throughout a convention day, and often it will go flat or become unstyled. This also saves you time when it comes to putting on everything and looking good before you head out in costume.
Also, when you rework your sleeves, you need to make them more like bell sleeves on the bottom. The color of the designs at the cuffs should also be more of a gradient, and the lines of your shirt designs should maintain some consistency - if you use black outlines on the sleeves, you should also do black the outlines on the collar.
There are two hotels connected to the San Jose Convention Center - the Marriot, and the Hilton.
