Holy crap my lime green masterpiece placed FIRST? I keep getting so much crap in other LIMS style comms for using that shade of green. It's nice to see some people appreciate lime green. :'D Thanks for the votes, y'all! And congrats to all the other winners. &hears;

I am a huge fan of blinding colors in icons. But it has to be done right. And that icon was totally done right.

[kiokushitakaa]

Blinding colors are awesome. :D But you're right. I think also it's a matter of people's screens even if something looks awesome on my screen it might look a mess on someone else's screen. All that LCD/CRT conversion stuff.

[furious]

Yeah and not everyone has the same color settings so an awesome orange for me might look terrible for you.

(This string of Yuri icons is doubly awesome because I'm going to AX this weekend to cosplay him.)

[kiokushitakaa]

Exactly. ♥

(One day I want to cosplay him but I have to figure out what to do about my tits... and I think I'm out of Yuri icons so here's Estelle.)

[furious]

Ahhhhh, I was having the same problem. So I genderbent him. >_____>

And I ran out of Yuri icons, too. So have a Duke.

[kiokushitakaa]

Femme!Yuri is awesome too. :'D I don't mind binding but since he wears his shirt open that is somewhat of a problem. XD But I'm sure your cosplay will be really cool! I wish I could one day go to AX. I just stick to local cons atm until I can afford bigger ones. This year I'm trying to be Hilda (pkmn black), Lea (kh birth by sleep) and Zelos (symphonia) as my three but so far I'm only close to finishing Hilda. XDDD

[furious]

Yeah, I realized binding wouldn't work with how deep how neckline goes so I just gave up and genderbent. XD I go to AX because a friend of mine lives in LA and I can sleep on her couch. But this summer I'm doing Comic Con, too. And that wound up being... really expensive. :( I finished Yuri and Miranda (from Mass Effect) and I have a Lightning cosplay I made last year. So I think I have a pretty good stock of costumes for future cons now. XD

[kiokushitakaa]

Well, to be fair I've been working on Zelos for like 2 years. And by working on I mean buying small things here and there. I have everyting I need for it, I just have to get to sewing. :x I'm so bad at sewing. Hilda I just have to paint the pokeball on the hat and cutoff some old jeans for the shorts... and get some sweat bands. For some reason they're out of fashion and really hard to find in my area... and then for Lea I need a yellow checkered scarf and some red shoes and a new pair of khaki shorts. Lol sorry I've gone so off topic on your comm. D:

[furious]

It's okay, I'm just as bad at derailing! XD

Man, I was really terrible with sewing until I bit the bullet and just started following patterns. I usually try and do a practice run with thrift store bedsheets before I cut into the actual fabric. It really helps me figure out what needs to be corrected before I waste fabric.

PS: Here's my attempt at Yuri.

[kiokushitakaa]

Nice job on the cosplay! It's really good. :D And your idea about the using cheap fabric first is also genius. :o

[furious]

Thanks! (Though omg that wig! The moment I put it on it starts to tangle aaaaaaaaaaaugh.) Isn't it, though? It makes the whole experience way less terrifying. And queen bedsheets are like $1-2 at a thrift store so it's brilliant.

[kiokushitakaa]

Long hair wigs are always tangle machines. My Zelos wig likes to get tangled so easily. @_@ Thanks again for the awesome idea. :D Now I just have to stop being lazy and do it.
