=======================================================================================
Been planning this event's cosplay for over a span of 6 months (or more), and it was all over in a flash! Pretty much everything was a blur during the event itself as there were stuff I was worrying (and OCD-ing about) during the pre-event and the 1st day.
As for starters - I reallyreally, REALLYREALLYREALLY wanted to re-cosplay Mylene Jenius from Macross 7 because the last time I did it for AFA08 my dearest+I couldn't rush the guitar in time T_T And the only possible event I could redo this was a Singapore con (for obvious reasons lololol 8DDD) Having said that, even when I had so much time to prepare, we still rushed everything just before I left for SG LOLOLOLOL oTL *superbadhabit*
Back to why I started worrying+OCD-ing, my casual version was totally not done (dolphin pattern not cut out+heat&bonded), my wig's fringe was in a terrible tangly mess, boot cover base was totally spoilt (doesn't help that I left the whole pack of vinyl at home AND LOST IT AFTER ARGHS MY VINYL TAT)
REPORTOOO!
COSFEST WAS EPICFUN YAY 8D \o/
(shortest report ever, yes?)
Okay okay real report here :
1st day
- 8am : Called up Amano via Lac's phone to ask if it was okay if he cosplayed casual Basara alone cos my pattern CMI, and he sounded sorta dissapointed over the phone, so I decided OKAY NVM I GO GAMBATTE. So I traced (10 mins)+cut (2 mins)+ironed on dolphin pattern on both sides (8 mins). Total time taken = 20 mins. I think I broke my record on fastest item done (although I OCD-ed on this the longest, the hell @___@)
- A few people actually came up and asked if we were from Macross 7 (though I think it was because they recognised Basara Nekki more than Mylene TwT)
- OMG STAGE SHOTS GET! We stole the stage lighting for a while around the end of day 1 of Cosfest 8D It was like reliving Macross 7 Dynamite OVA 8DDD Thanks for the shots, photogs!
- Shouting "FIRE BOMBER!" and having the ppl below the stage respond to it by clapping and shouting it back to us is one memory I'll never forget <3
-Found out the Basara guitar was not finished painted and Scorio (the guy making his guitar) ran out of paint D8 Frets+pickup were not made yet, and he had no guitar strings. D8 But since a Basara Nekki without his epic guitar is like fish out of water, so both of them spent the entire night painting the guitar.
2nd day
- Went over to Amano's chalet in the morning so we could rush Scorio to finish up Basara's guitar >DDD Frets were still not done yet, so I cut up balsa strips and stick it on. Worked like a charm!
- Scorio helped to put some rubber glue on the pink vinyl+base of my boot covers. Totally non-slip after, yes!
- We finally got into our gear and finished at 3.55pm. oTL Darn wig was so hard to put on with the ears+headband.
- EPIC ALL THE WAY 8D
ORZ moments :
- Muscle ache from all the jumping/leg+arm lifting/smiling poses T^T
- Accidentally left the packet of vinyl+patterns at McDs shortly after receiving it from tokiya T__T argh really angry with myself!!! *kick stupid self *
More on the photoshoot later, hope to upload pics once i get back home 8D gtg pack up now 8D
SEE YOU ALL BACK HOME!!!
