Kingdom Hearts won't leave me alone XD. In fact, the plot bunnies in my brain seem to have gotten the idea that it's mating season and they've spawned an entire generation of little midgets. They're flooding the more logical parts of my mind and pestering me about doing some giant KH Doujinshi following the events of KH2.
I doubt I'll finish the Doujinshi, but... once I get it all planned out and get it going, maybe it'll be fun. Who knows. I'll probably get three pages in before it feels like a chore and then stop, but blah. I'll give it a shot.
But it'll have to have some neato teaser-ific Intro line... like,
"When shadows from the World that Never Was slowly creep back into their life and threaten their world, Riku and Kairi realize one devastating fact: The only person Sora can't save is himself. The only help arrives in the form of some old shadows from their past..."
Or maybe,
"Destiny Islands ceases to become a safe-haven from the darkness when someone sets the different shades of light and dark within Sora at war with each other. While Riku and Kairi seek out a way to repair him before the very threads of his existence come undone, Sora finds himself battling to prevent the collapse of their worlds."
... Mmm...That'll do nicely...
Cosplay Progress:
-- Final Form Sora: Well, most of the work I really want to do is the wig. Definitely fix the wig. The hair makes or breaks the Sora cosplay and let's just say that if that were literal, my costume would be in pieces right now. I need to trim it, and then I need to wash the costume cause it's got some dirt knicks here or there. Plus I've got to get a more reliable way to keep the shoulderguards on because hot damn that Hot glue, damn things keeps coming off : / . In any case, I also have to put some details on the shoes, find a better way to put those designs on the shoulders and the pants rather than foam, and to actually sew on the shoulder straps so that they're a part of the costume and not just an attachment. I also have to find a way to attach the belt/pouch equipment to the pants other than hot glue because thats not gonna hold forever.
Other than that, I think the costume is nearly finished. I think I'm going to love it when its done, and that I'll only really feel satisfied showing it off when I feel that it looks good. Right now it just looks bleh...
-- FFXII Zargabaath: No progress has actually been made on the costume yet because dammit, I have no money right now. All of my funds are going towards Christmas shopping which I'll hopefully get done this weekend : / . Christmas is so damn expensive. Great for gifts... but a pain in the arse when you actually wanna get people thoughtful gifts. I'm better off just getting everyone candy or food or chocolate, but I'm one of those people that strive to get gifts that make people laugh, or gifts that make people sit back and think She KNOWS me... (I wonder if they look forward to my gifts....) In any case, until Christmas passes, I'll just pass the time by looking for good screencaps and references for Zargabaath and the intricate designs on his bloody armor and his cap. Freaking cape XD. Freaking horns. Freaking mask. How the heck am I supposed to breathe in that thing? : / Gah. Got lots to figure out. But first steps first... I have to plan out the costume and for something this intricate and expensive, you gotta make a mock - up first. That'll involve making a complete craft-foam-sheet armor full-body prototype in rainbow colors, because dammit, that's all thats avaiable XD.
Can't wait...
