Decided to spend my day off yesterday at Colossalcon. Im really glad that I decided to go, honestly. For the first time, something finally seemed to click with me. I don't know what exactly it was, and what caused it. But I actually felt good in the costume. I had more pictures taken in both of my costumes yesterday than any con I've ever been to. I received so many comments from people about the costume, and it was very well received. I guess I just never felt it lived up to a lot of the good taokaka cosplays I've seen. I've just never been one to take good feedback well. I hate bragging about things, so I tend to try not to be the center of attention. But in Taokaka, I enjoy it. I think I posed for close to 200 pictures from people yesterday, and there are still things I want to add to her. Like those retractable claws that Ret is supposed to make for me. I know once I get those made, along with the accurate shoes, I'll have a fantastic costume to wear. I want to make it as accurate as possible, and I think it's slowly coming along. Suika already needs some fixes, like all three shapes need redone, I'm going to redo the chains on her, as spraypaint does not stay on plastic chain at all, remake her bow for her hair, shrink the skirt a little bit, and re-sew the red bits on (the zig-zag stitch is coming loose.) I have until November to do all of this, and I know I can get this done. So nervous about my ability though.
