Cosplay

[rubyredrose]

I'm almost done with painting of room ("all" that is left is the trim...that should only take all week. x.x) So now...I'm considering various cosplay projects...togabitoion and asmaria, please do comment and remind me if I'm forgetting a costume for animefest I agreed to...


Saygram:
- I'd like to do something about the hood...line it and put velcro at the top, something...that will keep it from flying off all the time. With the mask on I purely can't tell when it's up or not. And the costume really doesn't work without the hood up. T_T
- Re-make the gloves, since they were kinda destroyed over akon. Easy enough to do, if I can just get someone to sew on the bandages on my off hand.

Yuan:
- Make the cape. I suspect I can probably do this myself, but all my supplies are in Asmaria's sewing room. Also, I've never actually made a cape. This will be an adventure!
- Get new glove to make fingerless, then attach the backs so it's not held on with tape the entire con.
- Boot covers. Asmaria, I will flat out just need your help with that..there's no way I can do it on my own. Sorry.
- Wig: trim the ponytail so it's about 3 inches shorter. Thanks to the single picture in the back I have of it, I realize it's too long.


* New costume *
Caprice: http://project-apollo.net/mos/mos165.html (girl with the sparkly hair)
- dress
- gloves
- leggings
- Wig:
I'm looking at a couple of different wigs, most will need to be trimmed slighly, then I get to bead it up with tiny glass crystal/beads. <3

Wigs I'm considering:

(this looks like the perfect wig, and it does come in black. Opinions?)

Also, I might do this version of her custume instead. Same hair and earings, different everthing else. Hmmm...

Caprice!?

I demand the black contacts.

I know you don't like contacts, at ALL, but if you're going to cosplay freaking Caprice, then you gotta suck it up. I'll be glad to help you with sticking objects on your eyeball.

Further, we can make some tape recordings of roomfuls of people reciting epic-sounding general purpose statements, get Tetsu to put it in Reason, do some backwards and forwards echoing...

*large grins* Because you can't have Caprice without Mars, hon. You just can't.

For that matter, a whole cosplay group of Martians wouldn't be that much harder... Hmm...

I don't think there's anything we agreed to, but the director of Ronin Warriors will be there, and leochan is organizing a group. Did you still want to be the Ancient? I still have my Shuu(Kento) costume. :) She's going to be Touma(Rowen) and we may have a Shin(Cye).

You could try attaching the mask to the hood. That way you'll know if it's askew, plus it might stay in place more easily.

I'm thinking if I line it, then put velco at the top of the mask, and on the inside of the hood, then it should stay. Maybe. >.>;
