Cosplay (now stickied)
(Feel free to ignore)
Last update: Sept. 19, 2011
IMITATION BLACK Kaito/Kyte
♠ Wig (Cosworx; doubles as Marth)
♠ Hat (Need ribbon; should have everything else)
♠ Black scarf (Material. Lightweight.)
♠ Blazer (The hardest part. Will need to mock up/modify lapel.)
♠ Boots
♠ Contacts (circlelens.net)
Already have (started) the black half-skirt. Attacking fabric with sandpaper is surprisingly relaxing, although now my arm is exhausted. The Most work will likely lie in the making of the blazer. Debating a number of ways to go about this. Buying it is also an option, though one I'd like to avoid. About to start on the hat. Will probably attach that with clips; I doubt tying it with a ribbon will be strong enough. In fact, I doubt even the clips will be strong enough, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
All in all, really, really excited. I can't believe I'm actually doing this costume.
Gabranth
Ugh. FML.
Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryuu
♠ Wig (Arda wigs, Magnum XL ashe blonde. Will likely need a light sharpie/ink dye, and some cutting, but overall looks perfect.)
♠ Shirt (Rip apart one of my old short-sleeved button downs for pattern. Pale blue-grey fabric w/ white stripe on sleeve hem.)
♠ Pants (Grey-black jeans. Debating modifying pair I already own or just wearing as is.)
♠ Shoes (White, black soles, black laces. Looks almost like Doc Martins. Excuse to buy new pair of white boots?)
♠ Phone (....It's orange. What's with characters and orange phones. Anyways, will likely try and paint my old razr or something. As long as it's a flip-style phone, I don't care. Hell, I don't even care that much.)
Another Easy costume. (Or so I'm going to tell myself. I called Izaya "easy" too >.>) Most of the actual work will likely go into makeup and styling. Hopefully by January, I pale up some more.
Okumura Yukio
♠ Glasses (Yay prescription!)
♠ Wig (Spare Izaya wig.)
♠ Coat (McCall's pattern. Must modify, but otherwise looks doable. Will possibly want to strangle self for this bright idea. >.>)
♠ Tie (Rip apart old tie for pattern. Will likely paint design (stripes and om) on. OTL)
♠ Holster/belt/ammo skirt thing (Must draft pattern and find thin enough pleather. That hopefully is semi-backed. Why do I do this to myself?)
♠ Guns (Not immediately necessary.)
♠ Pin (Yay sculpey. Need to buy backing and chain.)
♠ Boots (Platform Gogo boots)
It will happen. Hopefully in time for Jan. Between this and helping out Rika with Shiemi, I have my hands full by AnE. >.>
Other
♠ New Izaya wig. A couple ideas on Arda.
♠ Gakuran!Izaya
♠ Bad Romance, bitches.
♠ Fang wig. Make it work. I'm tired of styling my hair for it. Ideally, looking at some type of lacefront wig.....
♠ P4. Either Souji or Kanji. Naoto will likely have to wait...
♠ Wig for Gabranth? Will need to be lace-front (>.>), but can double for Kanji (b( = w = )d) orzzz
I've way too many plans right now.
