@ Hogyoku: Well you've definitely got time. XD I think you'll be fine.

The con I'm going to isn't until Sept and I'm already shopping around for stuff. XD

@ Rukia: Yeah, it's probably one of the best times to be a cosplayer, with all the information so readily available for us.

xhogyokux 02-17-2012 05:01 AM

Sho: Oh what con are you attending in Sept. : D -fail on me if you already stated it-

By the way, I keep meaning to ask you what Wild Tiger is. : o

Sho-Shonojo 02-17-2012 05:11 AM

I'm going to Anime Weekend in Atlanta. :D And I wouldn't worry about me giving myself so much time. I just like to be way ahead. >.>

Wild Tiger is a character from Tiger and Bunny. It's an awesome super hero anime, and pretty much my obsession at the moment. (and I don't even like super heroes all that much.) He's my planned costume this year. I'm doing the everyday clothes, so, the pic of him on the left.

xhogyokux 02-18-2012 12:39 AM

Oh, sounds awesome and that makes that sig in a lot better context for me. xD

It's good to plan ahead though. : >

Sho-Shonojo 02-18-2012 04:22 AM

Ha, just noticed I said left, when it should have been right. XD The everyday clothes, not the mech suit.

And yes, it never hurts to be ahead.

xhogyokux 02-18-2012 06:40 AM

Oh, I understood what you meant. xD No worries.

Sho-Shonojo 02-18-2012 07:35 AM

lol, that's good.

So what anime is the character you're cosplaying from? I've never seen her before.

xhogyokux 02-18-2012 09:53 AM

Which one? : > If you mean Mami Tomoe then it's Madoka Magica. Or full name Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It's a twisted magical girl parody. There are lots of WTF moments.

Sho-Shonojo 02-18-2012 04:04 PM

Oh man. I've never heard of that one. A parody on magical girls? XD Sounds like it's gotta be funny.

xhogyokux 02-18-2012 11:18 PM

Sho: It's actually really dark. xD; Not a funny type of parody. But then there are parts that are happy. It's hard to describe... >.o;

Sho-Shonojo 02-19-2012 04:17 AM

Hm... perhaps I will look into it. It sounds interesting.

Mystic 02-20-2012 12:08 AM

I'm still working on my Angewomon cosplay. I messed the body suit up so I have to remake that and the wings are taking forever. So far aside from the bodysuit, it looks good though.

I also been meaning to start a Sailor Star Healer cosplay but haven't started that one yet.

Bronia 02-20-2012 12:49 AM

I have a completed version of Mio-Chan in her Don't Say Lazy outfit (K-On!) but it's gonna be incomplete once I chop off all my hair.

I'm in the midst of making a school uniform version of Yui, I have the blazer and some black tights and maybe a dress shirt (I forget if it's still got all the buttons) and am in the midst of sewing a skirt and getting hairpins. And a hair cut.

If my Yui cosplay is finished by the time Otafest rolls around (May) I'm wearing that, but if not I'll go as a short-haired Mio.

No pictures for you guys. :P

xhogyokux 02-20-2012 03:51 AM

Sho: Worth a shot. : >

Mystic: Wow! Those are both intense outfits. : o -would love to see pictures-

Bronia: xD Such a silly show. Ah, sad no pictures. Ah well, to each their own. : >

Sho-Shonojo 02-20-2012 04:41 AM

Hm... on the ride home from work my sister and I decided that we should do a Rin and Yukio cosplay from Blue Exorcist since we're twins. Has anyone here ever worn false fangs before? I'm curious how those work.

xhogyokux 02-20-2012 08:31 AM

Nope, but my roommate and I love that series. : D

Mystic 02-20-2012 02:54 PM

xhogyokux: Tell me about it. XD Angewomon isn't too bad except the wings. I caught the bodysuit on my machine and it caused a run all the way up the inside of one leg when I was trying to do the zipper. Can't really fix it but I'm hoping that I can restart on the catsuit this weekend and then work on editing it some time before November.

For the Starfighter outfit, it's not too hard except for finding a wig that looks right. That's really why I haven't started on it yet.

xhogyokux 02-20-2012 11:37 PM

Mystic: -nods- Wigs can be hard sometimes. I've gotten pretty lucky on my wig choices on eBay though. : >

Oh no! D; Well I wish you luck on fixing the suit.

Rukia Kuchiki- 02-23-2012 06:34 AM

Aaah, I got all my materials together for Stein's screw-in-the head thing xD
Can finally start working on it! And I also got a wig on the way as well :3

xhogyokux 02-23-2012 08:20 AM

Yay!

Rukia Kuchiki- 02-23-2012 09:17 PM

Yesss~

Preview pictures of my Irelia cosplay! <3 My wig came in, yay! : D

What do you think? : D

Mystic 02-26-2012 06:57 PM

I can't buy stuff online because I have no bank account or credit cards. :( I've been looking at a few wig stores around here. I think that I may just let my hair grow out and get a ponytail extension of the Starhealer outfit. At least, I think that would be easiest.

Angewomon still needs a wig too but there's one I've been eying at a wig store here so I think I may settle for that one.

xhogyokux 02-26-2012 08:53 PM

Oh. : O Yeah, bank accounts help a lot. xD; -always uses paypal for everything-

Do you have any like gaming stores around you? Like tables top and card games. Our local one also carries an extensive costume and wig supply section. -nods-

La Tua Cantante 03-06-2012 02:50 AM

I just LOVE to cosplay.

March 22-25 I will be attending Tekkoshocon X in Pittsburgh PA where I will be doing mostly Bleach cosplay. Thursday I will be Rukia Kuchiki, Friday I will be Rose Otoribashi, and Saturday I will be cosplaying Nanao Ise. Sunday I'm cosplaying with a group of friends and we're doing My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in which I'm cosplaying a humanish Twilight Sparkle <3


I am happy to say as well that I have even won awards for my cosplays. Setsucon 2011 I won first place novice, then Setsucon 2012 I won 3rd place Journymen (moved up a category) and then during Tekkoshocon IX husband and I won Best of Friday.

Sadly this Tekkoshocon I'm not competing. Not only did I run out of funds to make big, fancy cosplays, but my growing belly is making is own difficulties (but love being pregnant!)
