Trade Secrets 4

[soliandxpyne]

Whoo! Yaoi-con is coming up! So that means I really gotta start finish my cosplay stuff! Luckily, I've been in productive mood this month. ((and yes, i will definitely finish all the hijack requests, don't worry!)) I have only ever done Seiten Taisei Goku cosplay, and I've been wanting to do normal Goku, too. So I finally made a diadem. Here are

Everything looks awesome so far. You have the right facial shape for Goku too, so double kudos! XD

[soliandxpyne]

why thank you! ::beams:: i knew chubby cheeks would come in handy one day! lol my soli has chubby cheeks, too ((we're sisters, so we look a lot alike, only in a different set of colors. me = dark, soli = light)) so i use make-up tricks to make her face look thinner and her eyes droopy for Sanzo cosplay. XD

[kambeiadaro]

That is incredibly awesome what a little make-up can do. I would have never thought you could actually change the shape like that. Now I want to learn about make-up, I've wanted to start cosplaying but I don't seem to have the right face shape for anyone thatnks to a big jaw.

Everything's lookg great so I can't wait for the final result. Wish I lived anywhere near ycon. XD

[soliandxpyne]

make-up can definitely alter a lot. next time you're at a big bookstore, like Barnes and Noble, look for a book called "Making Faces." There's at least one sequel; i'm not sure if there's more. I have/had (my bff stole it, haha) Making Faces, and it has awesome photos, tips, and just plain crazy before-and-after type shots.

Totally awesome! I especially love Hakuryuu, and agree with kambeiadaro; you have the right facial shape for Goku =3

Might I asked what kind of pattern and material you guys used for making Sanzo's costume? I'm planning on cosplaying Sanzo sometime soon... like next year so some help would definitely be appreciated~ ^__^

[soliandxpyne]

hehe, thank you! ♥ and no problem

[takatohedgehog]

Okay! Thank you so much ^__^ I can't wait to see how your Goku cosplay comes out.

[2metaldog]

My good gawd, but you're talented. I love what you've got going of Hakuryuu. He's going to be amazing. I want. You've done a really good job with the wig for Goku, too. I'm amazed at your patience/persistance. The limiter looks excellent and bang on.

You have that brother who does an amazing Gojyo, don't you? I think I remember you saying he was 16 or something. That's a damn shame as he's one of the best Gojyo I'd seen in a long time and I'm sure he'd commend a fortune at the Bishie Auction.

Annnnnd I'm apparently a very pervy old lady *slinks away*.

[soliandxpyne]

eeee, thank you! ♥

yup, a 15 year old little brother. XD we can't sell him for another 3 years, haha.

pervy old lady? LOL well, at least you're in the right place. are you attending ycon this year?

[2metaldog]

*sigh* I dearly wish, but no. I need a bit to save up for the trip and the timing would be very bad for me this year as my son is leaving for the military in less than a week's time. I'm expecting to be a bit of a mess after this Sunday *lip quiver*.

Damn, but this would be a good time to go though as our dollar (Canadian) is on par with yours. I do plan on going next year though. That will happen.

[soliandxpyne]

aww, good luck to him. that's tough.

well, ycon isnt until 3 weeks from now, and it might cheer you up? or at least give you something else to focus on.

next year my little sis will be old enough to come, so you can meet all three of us dirty old lady sisters. lol

[eyesofshinigami]

GODS I AM SO EXCITED!! *bounce bounce bounce* I can't wait to go. That weekend can't get here soon enough, damn it!

You make such an adorable Goku. ^___^ And the Hakuryuu looks great! I think that's the part I'm most excited about, is getting to play around with him! *giggle* He's so cute and chubby! *loves on*

Your jibii is coming too? AWESOME!

So...who do you think we could kidnap for Gojyo? XD Though, I had this funny mental image yesterday at work with someone asking us where he was, and me going, "...oh goodness. I knew I forgot something back at the hotel!"

Gojyo: FUCKING HELL! *struggles against his bonds, tied to the bed* HAKKAI!!!

XD

[soliandxpyne]

no, that weekend is coming too soon and i dont have any everything done yet!! TAT

yup, jibii and her roommates sadieko and thefacelessevil are coming, too. when it gets closer, we will have to ask around and see who's going.

maybe I can bully jibii into wearing it for a bit? but she has so much boob, i don't know where we'd put them under a white tank top. XD gojyo's jacket would conceal, but the jacket we use isn't ours, it belongs to our Ni cosplayer who is most definitely not into yaoi. maybe i could ask him to borrow it anyway?

[eyesofshinigami]

Awwww. *huggle* Poor Xpyne-chan. *roots for you*

WOOHOO! That's going to be so much fun. ^_____^

Well, you could always try using an ace bandage to try and bind her boobs. It'll just make her chest look really muscular. XDD I did that for a RP party I went to and I was told by my then girlfriend that I was to go as a character I RPed online. o_O It worked for me, but then again...I don't have much in the boob department. *laughs*

Tell him you'll unleash a can of whoop-ass on him if he doesn't do this...or you'll draw...uh...never mind. *saunters off*

[soliandxpyne]

he's one of the few ppl i cant bribe with pictures! D:,' lol what will i do?

[soliandxpyne]

eeek, i saw! ::HUG:: the moral of the story is drink booze and stay out late more. ^ヮ^

thank you for the ♥! I will take lots of pictures. :d
