So I have a job for about a week, starting next Friday!

Brian recommended me to the temp agency he worked with before he was hired on full-time at his job, I went to a meeting with them on Wednesday. It's a mail-room job, but it's 8 hours a day for 6 days, and pays well. I definitely have enough for my bills until August, AND money for Animefest/cosplays :D So Quagsire and Accelerator are a go!

Though I'm going to start on Quagsire first because she'll take longer. I found some good tutorials on how to do paw feet and I think I'm just going to alter that as I need to do paw hands. (ON THAT NOTE, if I could get somebody to cosplay a Pokémon trainer and walk around with me that'd be super because, uh. I'm probably not going to be able to use my hands at all ;; Being a Pokémon trainer would just make it lolarious and win.)I'm also hoping Hancock doesn't run out of the blue & purple fabric I'm going to need. I doubt they will, it's cotton interlock, and last time I checked, they had a ton. The base dress will be easy, it's just the paws that'll be difficult.

This is also going to be my first foray into wig-dying, bang-cutting, and ponytail-styling. s-sob.

LUCKILY, Accelerator's going to be super easy. I just need to order the right wig and also style it, which is going to involve straightening only the back, somehow, and probably that one spike at the top. His hair is just messy, not spiky. Aside from that, I just need to put the pattern on his shirt onto a black/navy shirt, either with fabric paint or screenprinting, I have tutorials for both so it depends on which is cheaper (But I havbe no experience with fabric paint, so I'm worried about if it will look "fake" or not- like, make the fabric super stiff and obviously painted on. anybody have any experience with that?). After that, I just need to find some plain jeans that don't have flare bottoms. I'm sure I have a pair.

Considering buying a compression shirt for him and Bel, but it's not necessary. Maybe if I have money to spare.

I also want to touch up Bel's cosplay. Maybe hem the sleeves of the jacket better, and definitely starch the collar so it stands up. And get a better shirt ):

k I think that's all I had to update about. This was really a "get my thoughts in order" post.

work, money makes the world go around, cosplay, real life
