| I'm freaking sick of being a procrastionator...So I decided to plan my AD2K8 costumes, so I'm not sewing the night before the con...wich I really did...sad huh?
My plans:
Inner Ichigo - from Bleach **Complete with a white Hakama, hopefully with the Round-Earth pattern, Amphigory wig (I have yet to decide what one, but in the color Lily #60 and Black/ yellow contacts...maybe
Avatar Kyoshi - from Avatar: The Last Airbender (this is planned for Halloween, maybe not Detour) **will probably change >.<
EDIT: Black Mage Yuna- from Final Fantasy X-2 with no wig needed (yess!!) and her Nirvana staff. I think this costume will be pretty easy, except for the lack of refrence pictures...I mostly have only other people's cosplays to go from >.<
and
Roxas - from Kingdom Hearts 2 **With the base wig Alicia in the color Afternoon Delight #24 and the greatest tutorial ever The Roxas wig. I've also decided that for this one, I would like to expirement with nicer material. The best stuff I've used is Suede...so I have to find something nice (possibly pleather) if its un-shiny enough. (Shiny=BAD!!) I haven't decided fully what to do about the thing on his zipper either...and the weapon. I might either: A.) Buy a Keyblade B.) Make 2 Keyblades (Oathkeeper and Oblivion) C.) Make a Struggle Bat
or
D.) Do nothing...lol
^This might change if something else intrigues me in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix+ I'm also making other people costumes, so thats why I'm planning so far ahead.
For Kelly: (She thinks she wants to come. I'm pretty much responsible for turning her otaku, and she was more into video games first...so I'm trying to give her reconizable costumes)
Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender; this is for our Halloween group also, but she will more than likely be wearing it to AD)
XX (Her 2nd costume. She hasn't decided yet, but I'm hopin she'll pick something simple, like Aerith; KH version...or maybe Olette...)
For the CON Mom <3:
WE NEED IDEAS FOR HER!!
**Ideas are appreciated, I'd like to do something video game related, but simple, and nothing too revealing...ya know? I was considering Aerith for her instead, but her hair is way to short, and I don't really want to get/ style a wig for her...Also, she is bulit like a normal 40-something woman...so, well, I don't think I need to explain what I'm saying.
Others:
I might be helping other people out with their costumes too, like Angel who had A LOT of help on her costume from her G-ma, and will probably go solo on this next one...more or less.
On a side note: I also have a picture goal. This recent Detour I took about 750 pictures, so my goal at '08 is 1,000. Hellz yeah.
PS: I try to be original sometimes...like my Shattered Shaft version Ichigo, and my Roze dress...so don't copy me >.<

My area of expertise!! lol...Both of my costumes were completely from scratch! Thats the only way to do it!! This year I'm excited to style wigs too!! lol...
Okay, so I couldn't find a good reference picture in the 14 second google search I did, but because A.) Its a Bleach character and B.) he is a shinigami
what you will more than likely need to make is a Kimono and Hakama...Kimono without sleeves that is >.< Obviously people don't just make Kimonos, and there is a good kimono pattern from Simplicity patterns that you can buy at Walmart for like, $7? Or Hancock for $0.99 :3
There is a Hakama pattern link in my post. Its expensive but after a lot of research, and a pretty sad looking Hakama from an online pattern at AD2007, I'd suggest going with it >.<
If you can tell me what episode/ manga volume he is from I can help you out a lot more...

| Mailboxes
If you didn't get that joke then you fail at life...
I agree with Micah...I saw golden spraypaint at wal mart today...just spray it, beat it up, and spray it again...then clear coat it. | |

| i will be making geta over the summer. if you don't know what they are i know of three people who have them; Urahara (Bleach), Jiraiya (Naruto),and Mugen (Samuai Champloo). basicaly they're raised wooden Flipflops.
If you want a pair you'll have to pay cuz wood ain't exactly cheap and if your one of the first to order yours may not be the best because i haven't made any yet i was for AD2K7 but ran out of time.
Not sure what prices are goin to be cuz it depends on what kind of wood, stain, and strap material is needed.
My lawyer also asked me to tell you that i cannot be held responsible for you falling off of them and braking somthing or any other injury to yourself or others.
Now back to the bat like i said wiffleball bat probably won't hold a bend even if i wrap it around a mailbox or smash it on the ground repeatedly and i'm not spending good money on a metal baseball bat just so i can bend it. so i need some alternate ideas for making the bat i will use gold spray paint tho.

I didn't mean bending it over a mailbox, I meant hitting mailboxes...lol. And bats aren't that expensive. Besides, a bat will cost you like $10? Better than a $50 wig. - Kaykuyo wrote:

Go to walmart and look through the pattern books. You might need to modify it though. - HoBo_Zetsu_Chan wrote:

What? Why does it make your eyes sleepy? | |

| fiber glass is actually really light and easy to use, and its really not that hard, my friend A.A. has tutorials of it on her site and last iowa she taught me all about it. You know that angel in the cosplay contest, that was A.A. Fiber glass isnt that hard and it wont harm you if you put a coat of bendo on it which will compress it further - itachi
hahaha....spencer, no. XD - Kuyo..>>;; | |
