These progress pictures are pretty embaressing for me. However, I am too excited not to show you what I have done so far. I am so proud of myself. Please comment on what I have started so far.
I am going to cut my hair shorter and add lemon juice to my hair to bring out my blonde highlights but I have the hairstyle figured out. CHECK!
Now, I already have a shirt and shorts. The shorts are commercial bought and they were expensive. So I refuse to really change the pattern of the shorts. I am going to add frills to the ends of the shorts and somehow attach the black garter and pouch when I make those.
I saw some pretty crafty welding goggles at Sakura con last year. I will have to see if I can find something cheaper at a hardware store because those goggles were EXPENSIVE.
Last night I also worked on the feet things and shoes. This is where I am very proud of myself. I put on my knee high black soccer socks then put on an old pair of my dad's socks that also come up to my knees over that. I then folded the black over the white sock. Taadaa! Now I am working on tacking green ribbon edging onto the socks and then I am going to hot glue the remaining parts of the ribbon onthe white sock.
I hope in the next few weeks I finish the socks entirely and figure out the heck I should do for the arms. For the blue things that drape down the back, I was considering a satin type fabric and using white thread to embroider of sorts.
Current Project: FFX Rikku
Percentage done: 20%
I have the shirt and shorts figured out, shoes almost figured out and hair figured out. Any ideas on how to do weapons and gloves?
This post has been a long time overdue. To start this world off here are some pictures of our very own James and his group of Shinsengumi. When I saw these guys wandering the halls and going up the esculators at Sakura Con 2008, all I can say is I am impressed. There's also a lot of them! @_@
So what is a cosplay without the pictures, ne? (The guy with the reddish black hair is Someguy)
Greetings everyone! With the deletion of the cosplay section on TheOtaku, I decided to create a safe haven for us all. If you like to cosplay, want to get into cosplay and unsure exactly how, or bored and want to look at cosplay pictures, this is the place for you. If you are interested in contributing to this world, feel free to comment or leave me a private message. I hope that this world will be a useful tool and enjoyable for us all.
