Genki 2012

It's time to update again! Now here with a con-update. Last weekend I attended Genkicon, with a whole lot of amazing people! I must say that Genki is my second most fave con, the feel is just good between the con-goers.

Friday I wore my Nemo cosplay, together with Mie as my Princess, and eventhough it felt a little funny being in a big white pyjamas, I enjoyed being him, and felt really comfortable, though hot, because that fabric doesn't breathe at all, tsk tsk.

Thankfully MacDonalds have great icecream for the heat!
We got recognized a few times, but nobody came up to me, everybody approached Mie, Why do I look so scary ;A; ?

The con this time, was waaay more hanging out than it've been the other years I think, saturday Torkill and Frodo from Desucon Norway joined in /no picture of Frodo, because you can't handle his vikingness
This con was also alot of people switching between casual and cosplay, I guess not many are willing to sacrifice for cosplay in this heat, haha.

Saturday I wore Muramasa, cosplayed with my friend as Yuan, and we did get recognized a few time, mostly her though, haha. I felt really silly in the cosplay, mostly because I have a hard time with wearing things that're specific to cultures, don't want to be disrespectful or look weird, but after I've seen a few pictures of me in it, I feel a little more confident in wearing the cosplay again.

Because 'what is logic?' me and Mie changed into our new How to Train your Dragon cosplays, me as human Toothless, I hope we will be able to go on a shoot before she leaves for Japan, because I'm actually pretty proud about this cosplay, especially the details on the vest.

And come on. I have the cutest Hiccup ever.
AAaaand yes, it was very hot wearing these cosplays on one of the hottest weekends this summer, but I don't care~

Sunday it was Final Fantasy time again, I think maaybe this is the first time for me to wear a cosplay twice for a con, not that I mind doing that, it've just never worked out like that.

Hayes joined in as Maqui, which made me very happy, I loooooooove his cosplay! It's really well made and he just looks amazing in it.
Mie had also finished her bag, and oh my god, I can't decide what I like the most on her costume anymore!

So thanks all you guys for an awesome con!
prettiest pictures will come later~

Process on Current Projects

Right now I'm working on several cosplays, all small/big things, that I might be very annoyed with, when I actually have to finish the costumes.
There's costumes I still want to get started on, and I'm going out to buy fabric this month, so I can get busy.

I started on Shaak Ti's headpiece about a month ago, and just building on it when I feel like being crafty.
I'm making a base of foam, paper and steelwire, to keep it both simple and lightweight, it's the same as I did for Kaito's horns, and they weigh next to nothing.


I've finished the base for Noel's sword/dagger, but the photo's I took screwed up the proportions of the sword, but it really isn't all that interesting right now anyway, I'm waiting for better quality photo's of it, but I'll hopefully start on his embroiding this month.

I've also recieved a Muramasa cosplay, yes, did not make this and I'm okay with that (making a pair of hakama's, forget it.)
I've started on the styling of the wig and also bought some of the stuff I'll need to make his katana.
I also need to figure out what shoes I want for him, but I got lots of time to figure that out.


In other news, I've had my nommelicious lense out for a test shoot, with Mustacheranger as my model, costuming Dark Mousy, which she does so well.

And that's all you're going to get from me, I still need to improve a lot.
