Don't lose Luck

Today I went out with leZuum, so she could practice some more with her new camera, and I wanted some shots of Bernardo.
Eventhough I feel like my whole being, doesn't fit that of an actually manly (okay as manly as the japanese makes them) man, I still think it's funny to try and imitate one.

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.

Our future was split into two.

2012: Most likely cosplays.

So I thought I would just put up a list for myself, and for those interested in what cosplays I might go through with this up and coming year.
Only a few of these are a certain must, but I'd like to make all of them if possible. A few complicated and some good simple ones, the way I like it.

J-popcon 2011

It's been a week since J-popcon ended, and I figured this would be a good time, to talk out about the con and all that.

Friday I arrived with Mie, dressed as Alto and Sheryl, a very fun twist, but I liked it non-the-less. Eventhough I find it hard being girly, being totally square and very un-ladylike, haha.
We arrived early to pick up our tickets, and get some lunch before the rush started.
It mostly just were a day of meeting up with friends, chatting, getting into the con-spirit and all that, good times. We took Louise and Aybike with us home, because we could 8D

Thank you, Liv for the shot

Saturday we left Aybike at home and took Ken with us instead, I've never seen a more brilliant cosplay, suiting any person better than this, I don't even.
We met up with all of the cosplayers entering the show, at Øksnehallen, right next to the con, started changing into costumes, suddenly having a meeting late, then starting rehearsals, and I don't really don't want to get into everything that went wrong and was bothersome, because that's not what this blog is for.

Thank you, Silas, for the shot

The show started on time, and it was all over pretty quickly I must say, and after that we went to the con-halls, since we'd been "cooked up" all day, after this point I don't remember much, other than I changed clothing around 9pm, had some dinner and then went to the disco.

Sunday was mostly just walking around and talking again, not really extremely exciting.

As for now, I don't have any proper shots of our costumes, since we didn't really take any photo's ourselves, so you will have to make do with this, and the ones, some of you can see on our facebook.

If you're interested, here's a recording we found on YouTube of our skit;
