[Aziro]

ok Sorry for the double post but I didn't wish to spam up my original post with my babblings.

So for cosplay.....yeah >.>

Ever since I discovered what cosplaying was I wanted to cosplay. However my parents think it's weird -.-'

I'm hoping to have my cosplaying debut at our Anime Convention next year. I'm planning on being Hatsune Miku.

2 of my friends are going to get several of my friends to chip in and they're going to buy the cosplay from Hellocosplay.com. They're going to buy the Outfit at the wig (Around $120 w/o shipping)

I'm so excited ^.^

In other cosplaying news for me XD

You know those arm sleeves miku wears? I'm making those except they're going to be red with white lace. I'm almost done cutting out the fabric. From there I'm going to take the sewing knowladge my grandmother has given me and I'm going to hand sew it together.

This is the first time I've made anything cosplay wise XD

If I can get a red belt and maybe some red hair ties It might look like I'm actually cosplaying as someone XD
I'd probably need a black wig. A short one would be good ^.^

[Kemi]

I just use my actual hair for cosplaying, its slightly cheaper.

Working on a UTAUloid cosplay that will resemble my upcoming UTAUloid. :D

[Aziro]

Awsome.

What's the UTAUloid's name? What does the costume look like?

[Nezaibaka]

1. For future cosplay, I want to cosplay as Kaiko ^_^
I think she's absolutely adorable. I'm planning on saving my money to buy the outfit off of ebay because I saw this really amazing outfit there.
[Buying since I posses no sewing skills.].

2. I plan to buy a blue wig for it. My hair is very kaiko-ish now however, it's not blue and I love wigs ^___^


Camera Help?

I kinda wish I had those nice professional cameras [digital]. I currently have one now and I do have photography skills but I'm so old school with it. It's a film camera and the way I develop my pictures are with the chemicals, I've been doing it for awhile and I feel like I'm going to get skin cancer from it some day TT-TT.

I kinda want to upload pictures up on deviant art of some cosplay once I get the money [*sighs* I want a tablet, cosplay and a new camera? hehe... I wish I had a job...]. After I get the money, is it possible to upload the pictures but developing it and scanning it? Will it end up to be corrupt in anyway? Just Curious ^^'

@Aziro What anime convention are you going to and good luck on your cosplay!

@AkemiKioku I can't wait to see it and if you want to be cheap about your costume and you have sewing skills, a few of my friends suggest going to thrift stores or at least look around for anything that could help you. Surprisingly, I see wonderful original cosplays out of "junk".

[Aziro]

A-Kon next june.

If you scann it onto your computer then save it on your computer then upload it I believe it should be quite fine ^.^

Man I'm gonna go work on those red arm sleeves now so I'm not up too late working on them *.*

[Nezaibaka]

I can't wait to see your cosplay and I hope you have fun at A-Kon!

Awesome! ^_^
I can't wait to get all my stuff together (so much work *sighs*)

What materials are you using for your red arm sleeves?

[Guest]

I'm gonna cosplay Miku from Magnet
Also, I have planned to cosplay Rin from Pretty Panties Akuma-Rin

[Guest]

o wo;
I have too much of a list to type... XD
Gah.
I'd love to see all of you guys cosplay! XD

[Kemi]

@aziro: Its name is Akemi Kioku (huge surprise rite?)

it looks like thissss.

[Aziro]

@Akemi: *.* spiffy That's going to be and interesting cosplay.

@Luna: Oh awsome I like the hairclips from Magnet. They're so pretty

@Morbid: Thank you ahhhh I'm hoping all goes well.

As for the material just basic red cloth. Slightly thin but I'm sewing a maroon cloth on the inside to make it thicker/more durable. I finished cutting out the peices of fabric and now I'm in the process of sewing the light and dark red fabrics together. After that I'll put them in pairs and sew them together making the two arm sleeves.

Though I started sewing last night I sewed it completely wrong (hey I was tired >.>') so I'm taking the stiching out and will hopefully finish sewing them tonight!

[Kemi]

@Aziro: Don't rush, its better to take your time, we all have time right? (Unless u need it by tomorrow. >.>)

Im also broke so I cant really work on my costume atm. LOL.

[Aziro]

XD This was a spur of the moment thing for me XD

I just too random fabric and lace I had and let my cosplay self go forth XD

[Kemi]

lolz. :D I should find random old shirts and stuff to make my costume. LOL.

[Hokaru]

I wanna cosplay as Naoto Shirogane...Since it's simple and a good first step! And then Anise Tatlin...and then mayyyybeeeee *Censors out entire list* I'm broke too ;~; and there are virtually NO cons in J-Ville, the one we had in 2007 was kinda lame and then got shut down after only one year cause of bad economy! Hopefully wehn I get casho from my future job next year I can go to Orlando or Tampa!

@Akemi i like that design!
It's cute!

[Aziro]

I finished one of my red arm sleeves last night I was so excited.

I mean it isn't the most amazing thing but it's just how I wanted it.

I'm going to be making a choker with lace from the same material. Plus I'll have a lace arm band. Put that together with a black tanktop a black skirt with chains and black knee high boots and I have myself basic closet cosplay.

I may do something for my hair.

[Kemi]

@hokaru: Thanks :D

I'll try to ask my mom and see if she'll let me dye my actual hair white. >.>

[Hokaru]

Good job Aziro! It sounds like you're making a lot of progress and doing it wisely and cheaply! (Munnies! woohoo!!) I bet it'll look fantastic! Make sure to post some pics! n___n

[Aziro]

XD Well I just finished the second one and I've ended up deciding to make it my back up cosplay if I don't get my Hatsune miku cosplay for cristmas like I want.

I actually have a long strip of cut up white cloth that when around me neck looks like a really awsome scarf so I can put those with the armsleeves(which turned out awsome >.<) and I'm planning on having the white lace around one arm and then putting more lace looping down from my skirt.

Of course the skirt itself can't be altered however I can take some chains I had left over from making my mum and loop that with the lace and just use saftey pins to pin them to my skirt unless I decide to take the lace and loop it at the bottom of the skirt which would look pretty awsome but in the end I might end up doing both XD

-Update-

So I have both arm sleeves finished

plus I made a bow

I know how I'm putting my hair

I tried it all on together and it looks like I'm actually cosplaying as someone.

For being my first homemade cosplay I'm really happywith it ^.^

Sadly I'm not allowed to have pictures of myself online so I won't be able to show you guys what my cosplay looks like on me but I'll prolly draw a picture of it tomorrow during my freking 4 hour long competition.

mae-chan, if you're only 13, and you try to cosplay simca, how will you achieve the dramatically large chest size? >.<?

You really think that's the best question to ask a girl?

^ This

>_>

....I wanna cosplay Latvia from Hetalia, my friend already has a Russia cosplay, and acts pretty in character even when she's not wearing it, it'd be epic. (My friends tell me I look like a shota ._. )

..My friend can sew and my hair only needs to be dyed a lighter color if I ever got to do it :3 My mom has let me dye my hair pink for a terrible Yachiru cosplay (It was made last minute, really baldy)

I made a Kiki cosplay, like from the movie Kiki's Delivery Service. I had a black shirt and my mom had a skirt that I could use. (I have a ton of headbands and some ribbons lying around too, only problem was that it wasn't big enough (that's what she said)

Sadly I have no camera >:<
