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...

Ooh. That'd be COOL. But. Um. I don't know, Mia/Nasti is a really easy costume...I could even have my own hair. >.> So...um. How difficult would Ancient be? n_n;;;

I would love it if you cosplayed Mia, because no one ever does. But the Ancient... I'd need to get a good pic of him (find my artbook) to know for sure, but since I've been sewing traditional Japanese clothes lately I don't think it'd be too hard. I'm even teaching Nick how to make the kimono top for Kenshin.

Well...hm. Tough choice. Perhaps I'll base it on how much time I'll have to do it once I have Caprice done. n_n;

Also, what's the name of the girl who gets Ancient garb? It wouldn't even be crossplay then!

I think it's Kayura, and Laura says someone's going as her. But I'm not certain, so I have to ask tonight. I'll get back to you!
