/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>What are you cosplaying?
Quattro Bajeena and Boris, it looks like.

>Where are you staying?
Fairmont.

>Are you panicking yet?
Things are actually looking pretty good for me despite some close calls. I'm pretty excited.

>What are you cosplaying?
The list so far is Red Mage Viera (Final Fantasy Tactics Advance), Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite), and Mima (Perfect Blue).
>Where are you staying?
One of the hotels attached to the con center. I stayed at the Fairmont last year...everyone kept saying it was only a block and not that far, but I paid the same amount I would have at the attached hotels and a block seems very far when it's the end of the day and you're in 4-inch heels.
>Are you panicking yet?
A little. Almost everything is patterned out, but I need to get cracking and buy fabric. I really don't want any last-minute rushing this year, so I'm trying to stay on top of things. Elizabeth should be mostly done by the end of April, and Mima's all patterned out, so that should go quickly.

Because of the GoH, Tsukimi for sure.
...I pray to the jellyfish gods that my glasses arrive on time.

I dunno what else I'll be doing yet. I'm in panic mode because I have all this material to work on but hardly anything done.

Staying at a friend's place.

>>What are you cosplaying?
These are my cosplay plans. I am not sure if there is going to be anything that I won't complete, seeing as I am already done with most of Shiki, I have everything lined up for Dio and the rest are kind of Closet Cosplay.

>>Where are you staying?
Apparently we're staying at the Double Tree, I don't really know all that well but mite b cool.

>>Are you panicking yet?
Not so much panic, but I am getting really really mad at Fanime's programming staff being the most useless piece of trash in the world right now. Ugh, the con is so close and we don't even know what has been accepted or not, let alone have had a chance to polish those pieces for the specific con.

I wouldn't be so mad if the other event that my group was going to the same weekend didn't have a programming department that was more than competent and is waiting on them hand and foot. But oh well.

>What are you cosplaying?
Lotus from 999, Viola from The Witch's House, Stone Tsukimi from Princess Jellyfish, Sophie from Howl's Moving Castle, and possibly Princess Camille from Little Nemo in Slumberland if I can finish this fake bed prop.
>Where are you staying?
Fairmont Thursday, Hilton the rest of the week.
>Are you panicking yet?
Yes. Pic related, mfw I am literally watching paint dry on 3 hours of sleep.

>What are you cosplaying?
Misato from NGE, Fukawa from Dangan Ronpa, Stocking from PSG, Rika from Haganao, Monomi Gijinka from Super Dangan Ronpa 2, Mukuro from Dangan Ronpa
I feel like this is a lot, but dang Fanime is such a long con and I'm only wearing Rika for a panel afaik and it hasn't been approved yet so if it isn't, I won't bring her.
I'll probably be Mukuro most of the time since my friend is cosplaying Junko and it's her first con.

>Where are you staying?
The Fairmont! I'm actually really excited, it's where I stayed last year and it's my favorite con hotel of all time.

>Are you panicking yet?
I'm actually really calm, it's strange. i only have to make Misato and Monomi, and Mukuro is like halfway done.

>What are you cosplaying?
Killing floor, Dark souls, Hotline Miami, Metal gear solid 4

>Where are you staying?
Fairmont

>Are you panicking yet?
Yes

>>6763621
Anons boyfriend
>What are you cosplaying?
Snake from 999, angry teady bear from The Witch's House, Kuranosuke from Princess Jellyfish, Howl from Howl's Moving Castle, and possibly Nemo from Little Nemo in Slumberland.
>Where are you staying?
Fairmont and Hilton.
>Are you panicking yet?
Nop, mfw I finished all my costumes unlike anon.

>What are you cosplaying?
Young Florentine/Noble!Ezio (Assassin's Creed II), Teen!Connor (Assassin's Creed III), Lara Croft (Tomb Raider 2013)
>Where are you staying?
Thankfully, my apartment is fifteen minutes away from the con center, so there's no hassle with finding a hotel room to share with buddies.
>Are you panicking yet?
Definitely beginning to. There's so much shit that I still need to do but classes are just eating up my time.

>What are you cosplaying?
uh, according to my group im gonna be an (autistic) manly chicken from zelda. may do true assassin from f/sn heavens feel if I get it done and probably rocking meguca anthony head again
>Where are you staying?
Hyatt?
>Are you panicking yet?
my cosplays are going to be shit no matter what and i just accept it. crying at my terrible body pls kill me ;>

also uh kind of important question: are there going to be any like, uh, /cgl/ meetups? I've never actually met a seagull at a convention. it w-would be bretty cool to h-hang out i-i mean if you w-want...

>What are you cosplaying?
Fancy tier Tarrlok (formal outfit, to go with a group), Aerith Gainsborough, Renaissance Pitch Black, Olivier Armstrong, Queen Elinor DunBroch, Sheryl Nome's red Diamond Crevasse dress and Lance Alvers/Avalanche to go with Shannon's Shadowcat from X-Men: Evolution. I am ready to wear tupperware on my head for the sake of cosplay.

>Where are you staying?
Fairmont, awwww yiss

>Are you panicking yet?
No, but that's because it hasn't quite sunk in yet that I only have five and a half weeks to make a period dress and accessories, start and finish a jumpsuit and a bunch of armor, finish the rest of the worst formal outfit ever devised by man or beast and put upwards of 2000 stones on a velvet dress.

Kill me now.

>What are you cosplaying?
BB Hood (Darkstalkers), Xiao Qiao (Dynasty Warriors), possibly Sakura (Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

>Where are you staying?
My house, one mile away.

>Are you panicking yet?
YES

I hope I don't kill myself over finals first.

>What are you cosplaying?
Sailor Saturn, Twilight Sparkle Gijinka, and possibly Lucy from Fairy Tail.

>Where are you staying?

>Are you panicking yet?
Only slightly. I don't have much of my Sailor Saturn cosplay done but the other two are mostly complete (worn for other cons but I would like to tweek them). However I've been procrastinating hard core on sewing so I'm really going to try to hop to it this weekend. If I can get a garment made even without the accessories for Sailor Saturn I will feel accomplished!

Oh very much so. I'm still waiting for some of my makeup bags to arrive and I have to sculpt a buttload of horns and sew but I'm pretty excited to at least see friends again from ALA and our groups yearly road trip to San Jose.

Even though I usually do this at ALA for the holidays, I'm gonna try and bake some sweets again for the CGL meeting [I think there's gonna be one?].

Yes! I am. I also want to say thank you cause I'm getting started on my hat and have your tips to thank for not stressing out and sobbing. So thank you!

I'll be with a Lucina and a Tactician.

>>6764135
Aw, I'm so happy to hear that! Please do say hi if you see me! I've been seeing a lot of people asking for hat help, so I might be making a tutorial soon. Looks like you've gotten it figured out, though! Or, I do hope so.

>What are you cosplaying?
See Pic.
>Where are you staying?
Right now we're staying in the Holiday Inn, which blows. We're waitlisted for the Hyatt, but it's looking grim.
>Are you panicking yet?
Not yet. I've been getting through my cosplays and haven't hit any snags in timing yet.

>>6763614

>LoL cosplay
Which champs specifically? I'd be doing one if I had the time.

>>6765114
Bittersweet Lulu, Resistance Caitlyn, and Bloodmoon Akali! However only the first one is for-sure, as of right now. Resistance Caitlyn is a maybe, and Akali is a huge want, but I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

How about you?

>>6765135
Battle Bunny Riven is one I'd like to do, but if I had all the money's I would for sure do Vi. Or Arcade Sona

>What are you cosplaying?

I'm so happy to see jojo cosplay plans. Were you the person posting the knife progress in the jojo thread? I hope to see you at con! :)

>>6764129
Holy shit, Tenmyouji? I'm super excited to see that.

>What are you cosplaying?
A buttload of JoJos. Jonathan, Kakyoin, Narancia, and Johnny at the minimum. (If I can fit it in, Nijimura or Annasui.) Also one of my iDOLM@STER outfits I'm pretty sure, and maybe something else idk.

>Where are you staying?
Sainte Claire

>Are you panicking yet
PIC RELATED IT ISN'T JOJO BUT IT'S MY FUCKING FACE WHEN

I'm doing Jigglypuff gijinka and Nurse Joy and staying at the Mariott. I'm not really worried about anything since I just have to make a Jigglypuff hat and I have comissioned the Nurse Joy a while ago. Just focusing on school, gotta get dem A's.

>>6765157
That would be me, yes! I am so excited for the sheer number of Jojos! I am actually have Knives 1-5 cut out, but I am working for a lot more. I am absolutely shit at taking progress photos though, so here is one of the first one cut out and lightly sanded on my pile of fabric.

I am planning on at least finishing cutting out the knives by the end of the weekend, and hopefully making Mr. Street sign as well. But I have family shit to tend to as well, so we'll see.

>What are you cosplaying?
George Joestar and Monokuma VOTE if I can finish the head on time. I'm photogging the rest of the time that I'm not eating or in the arcade.

>Where are you staying?
\FAIRMONT MASTER RACE/

>Are you panicking yet?
Only for the photog stuff.
Oh, and for getting a cake from Bijan cause I don't know what kind to get and I need to order it ahead of time.

>>6763759
>/cgl/ meetup
Usually Friday at 9/10pm by the not-fountains. Don't worry, you'll have the circlejerk brigade not shutting up about it soon enough after Conji. (I'm looking at you, Briantist and Mags)

>>6764116
I never got to find you during ALA and any food I'd bring up for fanime would disappear on the ride up...

I'm worry about smoking with my E-cigarette, not sure If I can smoke inside the convention..

also, I'm afraid about my prop being taken away.
It has some metal parts to it....

>What are you cosplaying?
pic related

>Where are you staying?
was going to stay at 4 points but there was a mix up so now we're staying at the Marriott

>Are you panicking yet?
I'VE BEEN PANICKING SINCE MARCH ARE YOU KIDDING. Half of these are mostly done, the other half I haven't even started on. Honestly as long as I'm not sewing the night before leaving I'll be ok.

>>6765444

If you are sewing the night before I'll help :DDD provided I'm not doing the same thing ffffffs (I better not be though oh my god)

>>6765504
OH GOD I HOPE IT DOESN'T COME TO THAT. Gotta sew like the wiiiind so we can enjoy a nice pre-con fort party.

>>6765414
I dont see why having an electric cigarette would be an issue. They're meant to be smoked anywhere and wont offend people because there's no smell and no one is getting second hand cancer.

>What are you cosplaying?
Clover from 999, Clover from VLR, Faris from Stein's Gate, possibly Alois from Kuroshitsuji

>Where are you staying?
The Fairmont as I have every year.

Are you panicking yet?
Yes, damnit. I have a lot of little details left on each costume and no motivation. But I really don't want to end up rushing at the last second. And if Jo-Ann's doesn't get in the rest of the trim I need real soon I'll go into serious panic mode. That'll teach me to not buy enough the first time.

>>6765729
I'm panicking so much I forgot my greentext.

>What are you cosplaying?
Iori Yagami from KOF
Antonio Lopez from Tiger & Bunny

>Where are you staying?
Marriott

>Are you panicking yet?
nope

>>6765378
Aw I'm sorry. I was on the look out for you, too.

I'll be more than happy to save you some rum cake, if you'd like to try it! Our little group tends to always bring sweets for one another since it's the one time we're all together, really.

Hey whats good to eat around downtown? I tried this one place called Extreme Pizza, its pretty awesome.

>>6765674
I'd imagine they'd still try to confiscate my e-cig tough.

I have a cosplay that's half-done that I know I need to abandon if I get accepted for AA in favor of making stock. It's driving me crazy when I sit down to make shit whether I should be worried about my cosplay or my crafts. Ugh.

>>6766122
What's your price range?

>>6765157
It's for our cosplay group. Got an Luna, Clover and Sigma. I can't wait to go around and keep saying "Grandpa's videos"

>What are you cosplaying?
not entirely sure yet....definitely scarlet claw and probably capt. marvelous. might try to make audrey burne's neo zeon uniform from the most recent gundam unicorn OVA if i have the time. we'll see.

>Where are you staying?
saint claire. fuckin stoked.

>Are you panicking yet?
kind of....bunch of shit to get done for work before i can really start sewing, hence why i'm not making much new stuff. also first time at fanime and want to make sure i don't miss out on the fun stuff.

>What are you cosplaying?
Homura, Maid Kuroneko, Akari

>Where are you staying?
Home

>Are you panicking yet?
Nope. Very excite.

Bump

>>6766178

>Marv

MOTHERFUCKER DON'T YOU MAKE ME BRING MY BASCO COSPLAY I FUCKIN' WILL

>Asuna, Luka, Daenerys
>Fairmont
>Naw, I finished everything early. No fucking clue how I managed that

Still need to get the hotel fuck.

>What are you cosplaying?
I am cosplaying Kriss la krass, I dont know who would know who that is though :O

>Where are you staying?
I am a local :)

>Are you panicking yet?
Very slightly. My cosplay is very straightfoward and simple, thankfully.

>What are you cosplaying?
Colonial!Jack (Rise of the Guardians), Inga (Un-Go), Jacuzzi (Baccano!), and Maou (Hataraku Maou-Sama)

>Where are you staying?
Marriott.

>Are you panicking yet?
Not yet! Give me a couple weeks, then I'll probably be pulling my hair out. Inga is done (save some touch-ups), Jacuzzi's vest just needs new lining, I'm nearly done with the main sewing for Jack, but I have all the detailing on the sewn parts and all the detailing on the staff still to do. Maou is pretty easy, but… we'll see.

>>6766771
AW YES.

is there a lot of toku/sentai cosplay at fanime? hoping so...there was never much in FL except at megacon.

Geara Zulu from Gundam Unicorn.
Dunno where I'm staying or if I'm just gonna drive for both days.
Not panicking, just trying to get off my lazy ass and finish the damn costume. Still need to finish the big shield that goes on one arm and spray on some decals (at least the bloody suit name).

>What are you cosplaying?
Karuta Roromiya(InuxBokuSS) Human-child Dory(Finding Nemo)
>Where are you staying?
I live here. e-e
>Are you panicking yet?
Hell yeah I am. Gotta sew up a Gakuran in 3 weeks.

>>6768418

Last year's Sentai/Rider gathering was a pretty decent size, though most of them were either Mighty Morphin' or Gokaiger. There was a decent amount of Rider shows represented though so it all sorta equaled out. Man, I gotta find my jewelry for Basco if I'm gonna pack him...

>>6768418
This should give you a general idea

Rider side

>>6770055
Sentai side (most of them)

>>6770059
and MMPR side, all from last year

>>6770061
okay, so Gatchaman wasn't exactly MMPR, but that's the only MMPR cosplay pics I have sadly.

>What are you cosplaying?
Gonna be cosplaying Bolin and Jotaro (maybe). Super considering it now that I see all the potential Dios. Hope y'all been practicing your poses. >Where are you staying?
I live in Santa Clara, so just gonna drive every day. Thank god for free parking.
>Are you panicking yet?
Kind of! A lot to do, so little time, but I'm only doing very little of it. More worried about my Mako partner getting his stuff done than finishing my Bolin stuff.

>What are you cosplaying?
Human Gabumon and Gaige from Borderlands 2.

>Where are you staying?
My house because local.

>Are you panicking?
YES DEAR LORD MY WIG ISNT HERE YET.

>What are you cosplaying?
Whatever the hell I can get finished...

>Where are you staying?
Local, so commuting.

>Are you panicking yet?
Fuck yes. For cosplays and possible inventory for AA. When are we getting the green light?! /creys

>>6767023
Which Daenerys?

Bamping
Pic related are my planned cosplays
Staying at the fairmont, am just now beginning to feel the pressure.

>Who are you cosplaying?
Lynn Minmay

>Which hotel are you staying at?
I'm not. I could only get one day off work, so I'm going on Saturday.

Are you panicking yet?
A little. I still need to style my boyfriend's wig.

Good news /cgl/

SWEET....guess i have to look and see when/where the toku gathering will be. if i'm lucky i'll FINALLY finish marv's coat, but either way i'll most likely bring him....maybe one of his alternate shirts just to switch things up.

5 weeks
