Costume: Still going rather slow, but starting the 2nd costume for the year. I had Jenny (idle ambition) come over and we were talking about costumes we want to do and she wants to do another Ghost in the shell outfit and she knows mine (GITS 2nd season) has ( Read more... )

What did you use for the base on the bodysuit? We have been trying to find something like that for a while but have come up with nothing.

riki_hime March 13 2009, 19:02:52 UTC

Neoprene.

Sorry I should have been more clear. (Darn 3 hours of sleep catching up to me!) The pattern. Not sure what we would use to make it, its the pattern we need to find first.

riki_hime March 13 2009, 21:45:17 UTC

ha.. well not really a pattern, Basically just drew on a shirt and added the underwear part with another piece of fabric. Then from there made a mock up in cheap spandex, then from there took at apart and then had it done in neoprene.

Other than that my other struggle has been converting Anime that is MKV into Mp4 with embedded subtitles. DAMN YOU MKV! *shakes fist* Finally with a lot of trial and error and a bit of help from Kwan we were able to come up with a solution that didn't take 8 steps.

I would do almost anything to find out your solution to this, .mkv is a scourge upon my anime watching and I would love to know how to convert it successfully with subtitles to something else. Everything I've found has had me converting it six ways to sunday and even than it dosen't always work.

Your GiTS costume already looks better than anything else I can think of having seen, and you don't feel it's done? I'm looking forward to seeing the final product.

No problem, just use GOM encoder.
It sometimes misses a line or two but over all its pretty flawless. And its free.

Its not done in the senses that the bodysuit doesn't fit me quite right, the lines aren't quite right and it doesn't lay the way the way I want. I have a seburo gun but its not painted yet and I would like to get the new wig too.

negumi March 16 2009, 19:10:31 UTC

GOM Encoder huh? Looks interesting, can't wait to give it a whirl.

Heh. Can't say I'm surprised, your costumes are quite impressive. I eagerly await the finished form. ^_^

Okay, I'm way too drunk to read all of this post now, but I still want to do a Big Daddy costume, a Genetic Repo Man outfit, and Punisher. :3

the GITS costume looks Good. Though I haven't seen you or Jenny in any costume that didn't... you pesky perfectionist types. :P

And if you have the money for it get the Rosetta stone Language program, It works. I might sound like a commercial, but The school I work at bought it For the ESL class and I got had to set that up, and got to play with the demo disk which has 30 language samples. It is really good stuff, the commercials say it but you know you go oh it's a commercial, yea what ever. But having seen it first hand I can see how people say it's better then the formal classes, definitely a better supplement then refreshers I would think

riki_hime March 14 2009, 06:32:00 UTC

Aww thanks thats why Jenny and I get along we are perfectionist.
I got a copy of rosetta stone and started trying it out I guess I really need to hunker down with it. I'm glad to hear someone likes it cause I really haven't gotten any feed back on it.
