/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Bump 'cause old one isn't.

4am boredom takes hold. Doing Rei for Hyper Japan on the 24th. Figured I'd use some of the leftover material from my Cirno cosplay to figure out how to go about making the skirt for Rei's uniform. I discovered a few things.

>An 18" skirt is going to feel really damn short
>I don't know how to properly make pleats
>Just using a circle of fabric with a hole in the middle probably won't actually work this time
>However this outfit will probably be a lot quicker and easier to make than Cirno's dress

So, not a lot of real progress made, but I learned a few things and that's good too. Gonna figure out how to do things properly when I get fabric for it on Thursday.

painting a new Venom vest. my old one was a rushed mess and didn't have a collar.

Get off of page five progress thread!

Got my halfway decent moonspeak spiderman suit airbrushed, and now applying puff paint to the webbing to give the raised detail.

After getting the airbrushing done, I've resolved to going to this guy for all spandex related matters.

>>6391177
and here is a pic of some of the webbing I got done last night. Not too happy with it, little lumpy, but it seems to smooth out a little more once it streched over my noggin.

>>6391177
>>6391178
dude

>>6391550
Really? Thanks, I personally aint liking the way the webbing is turning out. If you look at it too closely its too wavy and lumpy.

Still have a lot of stuff to do though, have to attach soles, add lenses. and see what I need to do about the spider emblems, there just too damned big for puff paint.
I'd buy some silicone spiders that I know a few people are selling on the RPF but I highly doubt they'd match up to my moonspeak outfit.

Any tips or advice?

>>6391178
Is that all handmade?

>>6391178
Damn nice! How's the puff paint hold up to the spandex stretching? I'd think it'd crack if it stretched too much, unless you paint it on with it already stretched out.

>>6390240
Make the spider legs thicker, bro. Other than that, lookin' good.

Bump! Seriously, is no one else working on stuff?
>>6392803
Noo, its a moonspeak outfit, I decided to take a break after scratch building my last two costumes.
>>6393137
Mistry, the puff paint has a bit of stretch to it, however I'm using a styrofoam head to pin the mask on and stretch it out as I'm applying it, letting it dry, and going to another spot, this way it doesn't crack as I put it on.

Here's the Brief backpack that I made last week. It was a bit of a rush job, but I guess it didn't turn out too badly.

Working on the top layer of the skirt. I'm not loving how the blue looks, so I guess I have some fiddling around to do before I can add the bows, ruffles, and other details.

>>6394965
Angela, you know you're my favorite trip right?

>>6394980
>>6394965
angela is the ONLY trip i have ever liked on any board ever.

>>6394965
That looks amazing!!!!

>>6394965
ABSOLUTE BEAUTY

>>6394628
Good idea. I actually did that when I was working on the eyes for my husband's scarlet spider costume. They eyes ended up stretching nicely on his head(with a little bit of a bump on one of them) I think it came out well for somebody with little to no experience with spandex.

>>6394965
Girl that looks lovely and I'm jelly of your skills.

Also, I'm trying to see if I can get Taffyta done for A Sugar Rush/Wreck-it-ralph group for ALA. I'm trying to figure out what kind of hat Taffyta has The closest I can think of is a woman's newsboy cap.

>>6394965
Yeah, I was mostly inspired by this build: http://www.therpf.com/f24/spidersparrows-tasm-build-suit-finished-skateboard-pics-157959/
>>6395106
Fucking tits.

After just completing the mask, I realize this guy was fucking insane, however his suit looks great.

>>6394965
Holy shit... it looks like a cake! i want to put it in my mouth...


My generic hobbit/63 Frodo costume. Going to wear this to AUSA. Hopefully the fake fur will keep my feet warm.

>>6394990
Completely agree Anon.

>>6395158
I would tap that with the force of a thousand suns.

>>6394980

This made me smile, thank you. I'm not sure what I've done to deserve that honor, anon, but i'm glad I come off as likable.

>>6395106
Pff thanks guys!

>>6395158
When you've made a garment that looks edible you know you have succeeded. Also you look adorable, dem big blue eyes.

sage for lack of progress.

>>6394965
Angela I'm absolutely in love with your sewing.

>>6394965
That is some serious hotness.

Get off page 5 progress thread!

Sadly I don't have pics, but I am working on a Lich King outfit. I have already sunk about 80+ hours into it, as well as probably close to 400 bucks in materials.

>>6397270
>close to 400 bucks in materials
>Sadly I don't have pics
Indeed it is a pity.

>>6397270
I want to see it. Take some pics, anon!

Almost done with this for my roommate. Just have to get her to try on the test piece for the center... thing? And assemble the halberd once the paint dries on the pole.

>>6398679
That headspiece is very striking, I like it

>>6395158
Hey quick question, what did you do for your ears? I need to do something similar

Made some progress on four of my five cosplays today.
Finished my shirts for John and Nepeta, as well as Nepeta's horns. John's shirt need's ironed/steamed/something. Anything. lol
Bought an awesome gag knife for Angela, and I think I finally got the pants to the right colour. The wig need some fine tuning though. Not sure what type of shoes I should get for her...
Sakura is mostly done. Need to hem the bottom of the red shirt still and use the left over material to finish the gloves.
My fifth project right now is remaking Selphie. I'm having the hardest time finding the right zipper. Hopefully I'll have more luck this weekend.

Working on Gawain.

>>6400589

I-I love you, Anon, it looks good so far, and it's always a joy to see Fate/Extra-cosplay! I know it's in progress, still, but hiding those "seams" that at least appear in the photo could be a good idea?

>>6400644
I'd assume they'll be smoothed over when he puts whatever finish on the thing, like Bondo or whatev.

>>6400589
What material is that? Chipboard?

>>6400680

I think it is EVA foam.

>>6400589
Love it, your seams are lovely.
>>6400758
Its EVA, or plastizote.

And here is my update, getting along in this, still taking for ever...

>>6400680
It's craft foam/foamies/EVA foam.

>>6402188
Have you tried using the white or grey? I've found the black tend to have too many air bubbles in the foam making sealing a bitch and a half.

I know blasting it with heat helps seal it up some, but if you haven't tried the other sheets, I highly recommend them.

>>6402188
whoa whoa whoa, slow down buddy, 10 years after I advocate the use of protozote/plastizote in cosplay people are finally using it?

>>6402178
whoa whoa whoa, slow down buddy, 10 years after I advocate the use of protozote/plastizote in cosplay people are finally using it?

>>6402221
Don't worry, they can be easily sealed with lost of acrylic emulsion.

>>6402569

Plastizote is a little harder to get in the states but people I've seen in the UK rave about it. I just use a lit of Eva foam for my builds essentially it act the same from what I've been told.

I saw a tutorial where the guy used spray Plastidip to seal his Eva foam armor. How legit is this? I would imagine it gives a much more durable finish than Mod Podge.

>>6394965

holy shit how did you get all that puff?

>>6403632
It's legit.

I normally do both. Plastidip still leaves the foam flexible meaning the paint can crack, not good. The Glue/mod leaves a tad bit more rigid.

And here is my Spiderman update. Dunno if I want to take it to the airbrush guy again and have the muscle detail done up a little more, any opinions?

>>6404271
More muscle detailing would definitely add to it, it's still a bit plain at the moment (although awesome).

>>6403788
I made a bustle for underneath it with a lot of ruffles and tulle.

>>6395777
>>6396024
Ha, thanks guys.

>>6404311

wow, that's impressive! thank you for the progress shots definitely helpful to see

>>6394965
Sorry for the stupid question, but what cosplay is this? If it is cosplay

Bumping this thread with some month old progress of my skirt for Nadeko.

>>6404670
pretty sure its something from Sakizo. I need to get cracking on mine for Katsu...

>>6404325
Thank you! That's good to know.

>>6404670
It's not a stupid question; It's for a cosplay, (but how cool would it be to wear that on a regular basis?) of the character 'Royal Milk Tea' from Sakizo artwork.

>>6406364
This is really cute.

>>6406390
this is gorgeous <3 I'm wussing out and am going to just do one of her more simple designs (Fairy from Eu de Perfume). Are you going to wear this at Katsu?

>>6406390
Daaaaaaamn. Can't wait to see more progress!

>>6406390
Oh of course should have seen it XP
I want to do one of her designs too for next year, but I just can not decide which one to do!

The scent of burning rubber.

>>6406390
I want to touch everything oh my god
Is it squishy? Tell me it's squishy.

>>6406403
Thank you! I don't think that's wussing out, all of her designs are pretty tricky in their own ways. Yup, i'm not sure what day i'll wear it, but it's coming to katsucon!

>>6406520
I think you have to pick one and run with it. It's way to easy to get stuck between a few designs you love and end up doing none of them.

>>6406668
The sleeves are pretty squishy. The blue butt portion is squishy too. Everything else is closer to being bouncy than squishy, since it's all ruffles. But even those could be considered squishy depending on your definition. Hopefully that'll satisfy you, anon.

>>6406425
I'll post more when I have more!

I'm really excited to finally have this outfit done. It was mostly altering the purple hoodie, but I think it came together nicely in the end. Hopefully, it'll be warm enough to wear at ALA.

>>6407144
Yeah, I'm still working on breaking down the top and deciding if I want to do an empire waist dress with a corset, or if I want to extend a waist portion. I'm thinking an underbust corset might be easier. I can't wait to tackle all the layers of ruffles and fun, honestly.

Don't talk shit about my owl.

>>6408622
Are you joking?
>>6407168
Dude, dem cheekbones. I'm jealous~

>>6407168
Is that from Wreck-It Ralph?

>>6407168
Unfortunate looking face, but nice cosplay!

>>6408723
>Unfortunate looking face

>>6407168
Jesus you're stunning, those cheekbones girl, that skin..hnnnngh

oh, nice cosplay too.

>>6408630
It's just the huge jaw, pointy chin, and beak nose.

>>6408734
>>6408730
>>6408686
Sup owl?

>>6408743
Somebody likes what I don't like! Must be a selfpost!

Seriously? OwlDepot is stunning. Why would you say something so mean, anon?

Can we please get back to progress now?

Everyone's got their own tastes, nothing I can do about it. Didn't think I'd derail the thread though by posting in it, sorry about that.

>>6408630
Can't look at owl's the same way after hotline miami.

First actual progress, I guess. Decided "fuck it I'll start from scratch" after a couple of moderate setbacks. And now I'm thinking that maybe that wasn't the best idea.

Basically it turned out a lot... smaller than I was expecting. I've probably got about enough room on it to give it an inch or so extra on the waist, and it'll probably be about an inch longer overall, but that's as much as I can likely get out of it, and it's gonna look pretty bad.

This is about all I'm going to do for tonight, but at this rate I should have it done by Wednesday. And then it's just waiting for the wig to arrive from China.

>>6408798
>Why would you say something so mean, anon?
Hahahahahaha! OH wow! You do know where you are right?

bumping because i have some stuff i'd like to post on here later, but i don't want to search the depths of /cgl/ for this thread

Not much more progress. Stitched the two halves of the skirt together and managed to get enough extra room out of the fabric that it seems to fit noticeably better. Measured out the strap things for the shoulders so that should be easy enough to do when I get around to it. Then it's just the waistband for the skirt and the collar for the shirt and I'm done. Also waiting for the wig from China.

>>6408622
>>6408723
>>6409872

And this is why /cgl/ is absolute shit now.

>>6412192
cgl has always been shit

>>6409872
hahaHAhahHAHAhahahAah I'm on 4chan time to be a bitch for no reason!

I don't remember if I posted the beginning of this forever ago in a progress thread, but thought I'd update with my new LSP.
I used 32.5 yards of tulle, all bunched up and safety pinned to my old LSP dress.
I got lumpsssssah, now Brad will totally want to make out.

>>6412578
Ah, so you HAVE visited before

>>6412192
/cgl/ was never good.

>>6412714
Oh my glob, dem lumps.

bump

Okay, I think I'm about two thirds done with this now. And now that I'm this far I realise that I've pretty much got the entire size and shape of the skirt wrong, but at this point that's something that I'm just going to have to deal with. Maybe I can adjust the pleats or something. But it will probably be okay and not too terrible. Left to do is the waistband for the skirt, the weird thing at the front of it with the buttons, sew that and the strap things together, and do the collar for the shirt. Hoping to get that finished today, after I've had a nap. And then I'm just waiting for China to get the wig to me. Hooray.

Get off pg 7 Progress thread!

>>6417200
You should add some white gloves to that outfit.

I've posted my Koko progress in another thread but I'm looking to see if anyone has any ideas on how to make the fluffy bits around her coat collar? I'm thinking getting that horrible 90s fake fur that looks like it's made out of pulled wool you can find around jacket hoods but I'd like to see if anyone else has a suggestion.

>>6417200
Oh man. This group is going to be so good. Wig arrived yet?

>>6421406
Just for the record, I think the dress should be a bit higher and the vest a bit tighter and buttons opened from waist down - according to your reference pic, at least - since your character's outfit seems to have a bit of an hourglass figure.

>>6421550
Yeah the skirt is from my wardrobe and I'm planning on making it fit better as I've lost weight lately. Same with the shirt and waistcoat. I noticed that after I took the pictures, taking them in won't be too much of a hassle though. Thanks for reminding me though, I should go pin those things up now.

>>6421406
Sheep wool is always pretty good. Try and stray away from any sort of Joanns fur just because the pile is weird and looks and flows nothing like real fur.
I'm loving the progress so far and I can't wait to see the final product!

Aquagirl stuff came in today (doing the Batman Beyond incarnation/Marina).
Leotard and gloves from Dancewear Solutions, tights from taobao and the palest skintone I could find OTL
All that's left is test run for makeup, cutting/dying wig, and picking up ear prosthetics and spirit and shit

Got about halfway through styling my Rikka wig a few days back
Painted full Roxy shirt and touched up my Rose shirt today
Not much, but work is work, I suppose

No picture for this update I'm afraid, but it's just about finished now. I keep remembering more things that I need to do though which is annoying. There's the little thing at the front of the skirt with the two buttons, and the collar for the shirt. But once I've done those and the wig's arrived, it's finished. Such a weird and awkward dress to wear. It's like bizarre dungarees. And it's really short. I hope people don't peek at my pantsu~

>>6421406
You'll have to forgive me since it's been quite a long time since I've watched the show, but I don't remember Rei ever wearing gloves with her uniform. I could of course be quite wrong about that though.

>>6421437
Not yet. Shipping estimate said Tuesday at the latest. And yes, this group will be amazing, I'm really excited. Nervous too, but mostly excited.

I'm so happy that I was convinced to start cosplaying.

>>6422030
I thought you were being Gendo dressed as Rei.

>>6422116
That would be some amazing meta-fuckery but no, I'm afraid not. Just regular ordinary Rei. The beard is so that it's hopefully obvious that I'm not actually trying to pass as a girl. Just crossplaying for fun.

>>6421655
Can you link the taobao tights please? It doesn't look like it has the gusset line so I'm assuming they're like dance tights? All the American dance tights I've bought have been too dark and the nude color I have is very grey...

>>6422332
sure! they do have small ribbed sections around the upper thigh, but it's not very noticeable. They're also really soft and comfy.

Wig arrived today. It's quite a bit lighter than I was hoping for, but I guess it'll do. Might have to give it a trim though maybe. Any protips for that?

>>6422871
Cut vertically not horizontally. It'll take longer but look more natural.
Don't forget to compensate for your head size if you cut it on a foam head.

>>6399105
>>6399105
wtf? are you gay

>>6422871
Take it to a stylist who cuts wigs.

>>6407168
Best one is still 24 though, or 17.
But dang.. you make a good one.

>>6422935
Meant 27.. going well today!

at this point most of it is held up by safety pins...

Wig needs cutting, gloves need making, obi needs sewing and Recette's costume isn't even done... oTL

Making a seifuku collar is surprisingly complicated and frustrating.

>>6394965
>>6404311
>>6406390
I spent all day today making a sock. A SOCK. Not even a pair, just one, single, sock. One very annoying, frustrating sock that has easily been the most difficult part of this costume (so far).

All the trim is hand sewn, but it's unfinished right now. Tomorrow (or maybe later tonight when i'm less annoyed over how complicated this has been) I'll sew the rhinestone trim onto each blue "window" so you don't see the stitching.

>>6427233
JFC. Give me some of your talent juice

>>6427233
Even if it's just one sock. It's a damn pretty sock. I'm wondering, are you part of the bigger group doing this, or just on your own?

>>6426628
They are very misleading, aren't they? When I had to make one it took me three or four tries and a lot of swearing to get it right.

>>6427244
it will probably taste like blood, sweat and tears (but mostly tears). If you are into that you can totally have some.

>>6427260
Haha, thank you. I'm doing it on my own, I wasn't even aware that a group is doing it....I'm not terribly involved in the cosplay community.

>>6427302
You're doing the Royal Milk tea design right? A friend is pulling a big socal group together. I know you're east coast but people travel around so much, you never know who's part of what.

>>6427302
Just curious, would you ever consider commissions? Your costumes never fail to amaze me...

>>6427302
Can i request the taste of your lips then?

>>6427233
Gosh Angela, your stuff is just really beautiful!
And you've only been sewing for a few months right?

>>6427233
Forever hnnnnnnggggggging at your work. I have a huge Sakizo group for 2013 summer cons on the west coast, but there is also a huge FB group doing it on the East coast and central US also. Dunno if you go on fb, but I can always link you to the group! We're all huge Sakizo fans.

Keeping things on topic, the corset i'm working on. It's lacking embellishments and boning at the moment, but I'll fix that at some point this week. It's lined with velvet and super comfy.

>>6427312
Yes I am! That's neat, I know what you mean, it's pretty hard to keep up with. For now I can only attend conventions on this coast though.

I could never fit that bustle into a suitcase, anyway.

>>6427314
Thank you! No, well at least not right now. My craftsmanship is pretty shoddy, and I don't think I would feel comfortable letting people pay for anything I've made (unless they very much understand the quality). But I've only been sewing since March so i'm still pretty noobish, maybe it's something i'll consider in the future.

>>6427315
You can request it but the answer will probably be no.

>>6427353
Thank you so much! It's been nine months since I started, I think.

>>6427359
Hng is always the reaction i'm going for'. I wish you guys good luck with it! I'm not really a group cosplay person, but I appreciate the information. If there is an overall cosplayer-sakizo-fanclub thing that would be cool, i'm relatively active on facebook.

Boosters main bodysuit is done. First home made suit and it's been hand sewn. Honest opinions how bad is it? Ignoring the fat like, i'm in the middle of burning off now i'm back doing ju jitsu, and hitting the weights again starting tomorrow. It's for may next year so i'll be in better shape by then.

>>6427417

What's up with the crotch region? Pull that shit in

>>6427420
OH i'm going too! This is the first try on, and I mis-measured my legs by the looks of it. There's some adjustments to be made around my arms and shoulders too cause it's too tight up there.

>>6427315
>hair is censored

dude... wat

>>6427381
>only sewing since march.
Girl...you have some serious talent.
I've been sewing for years, and my shit is mediocre at best. Keep it up, eh?

>>6427381
Yeah, the fb group is just cosplayers who are fans for us to share each others work, share photos and advice. Not an assigned group or anything!

And to stay on topic, my Sakizo makeup test from awhile ago. Don't think I ever posted it here.

>>6427381
I really like your work, but it seems like you mention an awful lot about what a newbie you are to impress other people. It comes off a little weird, like you're either looking for attention or fibbing.

Either way, nice work.

>>6427302
Yeah, I got the size and the entire concept completely wrong the first couple of times, so now I'm looking at patterns and things online and it's starting to make sense. Gonna just sit down and work on it tomorrow until it's done no matter how long it takes. It's the only thing I need to do to finish the outfit.

And bloody hell your everything looks amazing. I'm just sitting here gobsmacked like "I hope some day I'll be that good". I think you're definitely good enough to take commissions if you wanted to.

>>6427455
Relax anon, they're just trying to be modest. I know it's unfamiliar if you've been hanging around these parts too long.

>>6427417
Like >>6427420 said, it's mainly the crotch that looks off. Can't wait to see it done though! Which con is it for?

>>6427381
I've been meaning to ask for a while, do you use premade patterns or do you draft them yourself?

>>6427436
Thank you, i'll do my best.

>>6427455
I'm sorry, I hadn't realized it was something I frequently mentioned. In this case my inexperience is part of the reason why i'm not considering commissions, which is why I brought it up. It was never my intention to appear in such ways you mentioned.

I'm glad you enjoy my work, thank you.

>>6427457
The worst part is it goes behind you which makes it difficult to check if it's laying right and evenly. If I remember correctly God Save the Queen Fashion has a good tutorial that you might find helpful. Good Luck! and thank you very much.

>>6427634
I try to/usually draft everything myself. Sometimes (and in this costumes case) I'll steel sleeve patterns and then alter them, but that's about it. I drafted the corset pattern myself, along with everything else aside from the poofy sleeves.

I'd love to use more premade patterns but they never fit me right in the waist/bust so I can't be bothered.

>>6427705
>If I remember correctly God Save the Queen Fashion has a good tutorial that you might find helpful.
Yes. It does. Thank you so much, this will help a lot.

>>6427455
I can't help but be suspicious as well.
If it's true, that's fantastic. But if I recall right, she debuted that really short hentai game costume at Otakon, which is four months from when she started sewing?
I find it awfully hard to believe that she went from knowing nothing to drafting her own patterns so flawlessly and having finished hems.

>>6422349
Thank you! I'm guessing you got the one that translates to "lightest nude"? Were they a good match?

>>6427775

You never know, though, some people are faster learners than others. I only had to use a pattern once or twice before I had it figured out and was drafting my own. Mind you, I was also taking a Home Ec course.

>>6427856
it would make sense if she was taking classes or something.

You know, if I'd have started sewing later, I think I would have learned faster, too. But I started when I was around 13. I had little money, no knowledge, and a really messed up sewing machine that I couldn't afford to fix. If I had been older and known how to lurk, I'd have avoided a lot of bad habits and may have progressed faster.

Polite sage for off topic.

>>6427775
Not to brag or anything, but I also learned pretty fast. Granted, my sister is a seamstress so Ihad a lot of help, but in less than a year I could pull off quite complicated things. I've seen people doing some grand costumes with very little sewing experience, so I believe her!

Nothing too crazy going on here. Just happy to finally be able to check a costume off my checklist~

>>6428373
looks great! very clean.

>>6427432
Well it's a work safe board, such lewd things shouldnt be allowed.

Don't respond to Page, he's the resident shitflinger who wants to get laid with underage girls by pretending he likes their Chinese cartoons

>>6427937
Isn't she only like 15? It would make sense if she had help but she just makes it seem like she magically learned all this stuff on her own

>>6427937
>>6428354
Thirding this, I learned pretty damn fast; and if I had the plethora of communal knowledge, tutorials, and resources there are now back when I started 10 years ago, I probably could have churned out stuff the quality Angela is doing as well.

>>6428373
Looks great!
>>6427451
What bottom lashes did you use?
I've been looking for a good pair of underlashes for a while, I can't seem to find anything which is kind of ridiculous.

Why're you so far back, progress thread? Get back to the front.

Sexual Cavalry member progress. Stretch vinyl is definitely much weirder to work with than spandex. God damn wrinkles.

I just finished this top and I'm quite happy with it. It's imperfect, but came out much better than what I was expecting.

Also, really happy that I'm finally back on working on this cosplay.

I want to know what Sexual Cavalry is but I don't want to google it.....
>>6432017
I totally thought that was bacon. But it looks nice so far. What is it for?

I think you should make the waist shorter though.

>>6432004

Godspeed, seagull.

The waist seems a bit high, but looking good...lookin real good

At this point I'm just so frustrated with this collar that I can't be bothered making it any better. But yeah. 99% done now. Just finishing of seams and ends and things now. I'll post a full outfit picture later.

your ribbon needs work
shirt looks good

Hakurouken.

First time I tried a curved sword, and surprisingly it actually sheathed quite smoothly the first try. Didn't even have to sand it down much.

Right. That's just about done I think. Just got a couple of seams and things to finish off but the outfit itself is done. Also gotta trim the wig so no picture of that just yet. But yes. Finally finished. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out in the end I think, though I realise it's far from perfect.

Very much looking forward to wearing it at Hyper Japan with the rest of my group.

Yeah, this ribbon is a little broad. Might go out tomorrow to pick up a more narrow length.

dat transparency

Progress from a few days ago, the mock up of my base dress for Fairy from Sakizo. I'm going to be modifying it based off the mock up, since it has a separate bodice and midriff piece atm, but I'd rather just make it a simple top and skirt style sundress. Next is my corset mock up, mostly so I can make sure the embroidery will fit properly.

I can see the end. SO CLOSE.

HRNNNNNNFFFFFFF

AWESOME
YOURE AWESOME
STAY AWESOME
what cons are you going to, if i may ask?

hardly progress since all I did was shorten the top and add the skull, but uhh /x/-tan is done.

>>6436343
ahdlgjal ilu so much best shego

Hey, where did you get that wig?

>>6437695
It's actually a wig from Arda that was originally styled into a ponytail with a clip-on. They're really thick when you let them down because of all the extra wefts that are added in to hide the netting when pulled up.

>>6437821
How much was it?

>>6438218
40 bucks, I believe. Arda is pretty expensive

>>6438240
>40 bucks
>expensive for a good wig
Fuck you. Back in my day, we yearned for Cyperous and their $80 quality wigs. Arda trumps that now.

>>6438286
hey man, I once yearned for those wigs too. I'm just a cheapskate. And really, it's not that great quality.

>>6436869
THANKS YO! I will try my best to get her done for ALA lest I disappoint my adorable Kim Possible! Will you be going too?

>>6437634
Ilu best KP let me hold you. OH HIM YOU ARE SO POSSIBLE

>>6438609
Bummer im a East coast loser D:
be sure to post final result pics up!

Spent the past couple of days hand sewing the fur trip on both the dress and cape for Maetel.
Aside from some minor details, everything is all but finished!

bump

Franziska wig came in the mail today! I'm excited to cosplay Ace Attorney again!

>>6438665
Will do! At least, if it turns out well. It's my first attempt at anything remotely tightfitting. 4 way lycra is an experience haha.
Too bad you're east coast! ALA is fun times I hear~

Working on my big costume for Katsucon, finished cutting out the mock up for the bodice. Not sure about the sleeves, since the pattern doesn't have normal room for ease on them. Hopefully I'll be able to piece it all together tomorrow and figure out how much I have to modify them, if at all.

>>6439644
I'm digging your curtains.

>>6387451
Ugh, I made the other half to this skirt and it jsut.....didn't come out as nice as this half and I'm considering ripping it all up and just sdgklfljdk.

Such a simple garment is giving a SUCH a headache.
