(no subject)
Renn faire was much fun. The only suckie part was I started that morning and had to stay half drugged out on pain killers all day.
By the way... tight bodices and being on your period are not two things that should go together x_x;...
Anywho, Jen and Dev got to my place to pick me up a little later than we had all planned on. But it worked out because I had to finish cleaning up the mess I made from baking Jen's cookies. She seemed really happy to get them ^_^. I guess no one has ever given her cookies as a thank you before O.o;... Anywho, the cookies were a hit... even my raspberry chocolate chip cookie experiment ones... and I promised more cookies the next time we all hang out or at the very least for JTAF and we'll have a cookie party =3.
Ooo! And Dev brought me Firefly to borrow =D! Yay!
In other news... I think I have my cosplay priority list worked out for the rest of the year...
-May (Guilty Gear XX)
-Lucrecia (FFVII)
-Ouka (.hack//DUSK)
-Helena (DOAX)
-Meroko (FMwS)
May is nearly done. I just need to finish the armor, shirt, boots, and hat.
Lucrecia I still need to decide whether I'm doing her purple dress or just her lab coat. Problem being this character is shown only briefly in the game so she's a pain in the rear to find reference pics for.
Ouka... I'm planning on both the manga version and anime. But manga version is my top priority. I was asked to do this one by someone and how can I resist a costume that's so fuzzy =3. And I get ears ^O^!
Helena my suit is pretty much done. I just want to fix the rush stitching I did at AX for it and clean a bit. I still need the wig for this.
Meroko I probably won't have done until next year. At the latest, I'd love to have it for RECCA Con 2005. Fanime 2005 being the furthest I'd be willing to push it back to get the right wig. Plus I'm planning on making the wings from scratch starting with a bone structure and working my way out to the feathers. But it'll also have to be light as heck so I can just attach them to my back. They'll probably be folded instead of extended so I can move around easier.
So those are the ones I am doing for sure within the next year. It is just a matter of time and money. Also I might end up with a female ninja costume made for me by a friend =3. So yay! I'll get to be a real stage ninja at Fanime 2005 ^_^!
Only thing majorly sucking is reference images... again ;_;. I have such horrible luck ><;. I think I'm just going to go buy the .hack//DUSK manga with Ouka in it for the reference images... I just wish I could find a cheap artbook or something. I should hit JTown sometime soon to get this stuff >.>;...
I have tons of reference images for Meroko (woot for scanlations =3) and May (thanks to Suou ^_^).
Oh! Just thought of the other costume I was planning for something for Fanime... Yoshi. And yes, I intend to do a full character to costume =P. I'm going to need to invest in a camel water backpack and some of those cooling things >.>;... This one is my only iffy one. It's supposed to be for Der Cosplay for something a group of my friends want to do. It's supposed to be some kind of fun skit thing... we're not actually competeing as over half the people in the skit are cosplay staff -_-;;. We just want to do something fun and entertaining for the audience and we figure we;d be a good distraction while winners are being determined.
Basically it's just a bunch of us doing characters from Super Smash Bros... I think that's the game they picked O.o;... All I remember is Yoshi is in it and I've been wanting to do a full character costume ^^;;. I've got to make sure I build it so that it's easy to get into... or at least easy with help. With Big Billy (that giant blue panda costume I got paid to wear at a Christian con), my mom and I had it done to 5-10 minutes to get me into all the pieces. So as long as someone is back stage who's helped me put it on before and knows where all the clasps are, it shouldn't be too hard.
I'm going to go sleep now... *snore*
