I'm kind of drowning in how difficult this is

I think I bit off a little more than I can chew

Totally saw the in progress of this costume. Really love it!

Next new one SHOULD be Wolf Armor Sokka at Ohayocon

I'm going to be doing a lot of things I've never done before for this costume, mainly making a big ol' dress, vectoring, and silk-screening and I'm working towards losing weight not only for this costume but for my general health as well. Jesus Christ, I feel really nervous about this..

>>6423168
Nice costume. Are you going to white face for this?

what a coincidence, i am also making this costume. Not sure yet if i'll be vectoring the patterns, also thinking about embroidering, hard choice!

I've still never cosplayed. I want to start a Red Mage for my first though. Pic related, I want to do something close to the FFXI version.

Problem is, I don't know where to get materials, how to sew (properly) or anything, and am pretty much broke because of bills.

Maybe someday....

>>6423200
Embroidery is also a good solution, but I can't embroider for shit and am too scared to even try it for this costume. I look forward to your progress!

Kirigiri for Magfest. I have the jacket started as well as the skirt, just some fitting stuff needs to be done.

Finally getting around to the canon (Hisoutensoku) version of my tripname. Should be fun, the swords are shaping up reasonably well.

>>6423168
Ooh, nice. Good luck!

Shinn. I already have the uniform, but I hacked up the wig and painted the boots for other costumes.

Haven't made my mind up what wig to get, though. I was thinking Arda's Magnum, but they're out of black. I also need to find a pink flip phone so people will stop asking if I'm Athrun. (F-fuck you Hiraiface.)

OMG I didn't think ANYONE ELSE would get it...It's my fav manga ever so I want to give it a nod. This is going to be one of those costumes where I"ll just be so excited to e recognized once or twice...but I've wanted to do it FOREVER so I'm hoping to debut it at Katsucon.

I want to get a whole group together but I don't think that will happen

Dream costume of mine since forever, and finally doing it... Just bought my fabric yesterday and can't wait to get started although I'm a little intimidated. The gloves, boots and cape will be made from peau de soie and the bodice burgandy shot scarlet silk taffeta.

>>6423182
Awesome! I wish Okami-san was more popular but unfortunately it's pretty rare to see people cosplaying from it.

>>6423541

Oh god, I'm in Toronto, I go to Otakon. I'd be your Eclipse if I weren't short shit.

I still have this one sitting around half-finished. Ideally I'd like to get this one and Mami done for ALA.

Hnnnnngh, Yukari. I'd like to make this dress someday, but I want to make regular white dress Yukari first. I can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Other than that I think if I get to go to Katsu I'll need to pull something out of my ass in 3 months.. I really like the characters from AKB0048 especially Suzuko

I have a half-finished Maetel costume from almost 3 years ago. I never bothered to complete it because every convention I go to is in the middle of summer.

My next project is Queen Serenity. I've had all of the supplies for the past few years as well, but just haven't gotten around to it. I'll be doing this for Sakuracon.

I still gotta get into a better shape (almost there!) so I can't begin making any actual costumes for a while. But I will be improving a few things on old costumes soon, and once I've got money again, I'm planning on getting started on the gloves + 'armor' for Tifa, bunny for Pleinair and a couple of tiny Mr. Saturns for Ness. Gotta start out with the easy stuff.

Pascal from Tales of Graces f! I really hope I can get it done for a con in December (that I hope I can attend) if not it will be my first cosplay of 2013. Though I'm having a hard time deciding which of her weapons to make. I might just go with her starter one since it's the one with the most images but I'm not positive yet.

Arles V. Felnoir from Black Wolves Saga.

Making the cloak/cape's tattered edges makes it a bit frustrating for me and the boots will definitely be hard to find. I'm not looking for an exact match, and if I can find the right pair of lace-ups, I'll add the purple middle in myself.

I'm really scared to do this wig, though. I haven't even bought anything to get started. It should be interesting. Excited about the staff, though!

Im going to be mistaken for Red Sonja... i just know it. Going to try to have it done in time for MAGfest, if not Katsucon. I was talking with a co-worker on different ways i wanted to try to make the boobie holder. She suggest i just buy a bra and either paint it metallic silver or cover it in mesh/tulle.

Does it have to be one of my costumes, or one I'm making for my husband?

Because right now, Hubby's Conner costume is priority. Otherwise I have a random assortment that I'd like to have done by ALA.

>>6424773
ew Tifa is shit.

>>6425113
Good thing that you're not the one cosplaying her then, don't you think?
Really, don't go acting like a crazy Final Fantasy fan. I like most of the characters, nothing worth fangirling over or going "ew gross" over. C'mon man.

>>6424759
Yessssssssssss I love you.

This just in, but I really like the fact that his axe is probably unable to chop of anything just by swinging it (maybe some really thin paper), makes me lol every time.

ah. Sorry, my sarcasm meter is always wonky on internet posts

>>6425133
its not an axe... its a tomahawk, its not meant for chopping anything but skin which is pretty damn soft. it has to be light and thin with a weighted handle so you can throw it.

Fuck yes, making another sword, and gonna make it light up. I love cosplays that offer a combination of regular sewing, propmaking, and mascoteering.

don't. that is retarded. would you wear a shirt for a sports team you don't like? now imagine that shirt would cost you a lot of money and time to make, and that people who like that team will probably come up to you and talk about it. what will you say? I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE THIS GAME...

REALLY looking forward of completing my Mir/ Jakuri from Ar Tonelico for ALA next year! My favorite character from Ar Tonelico, and while this is my first bodysuit kind of character which is good, I know I'll be freezing my ass off (literally) over there. Nonetheless, already installing the LED lights inside of the top part, kind of the same way Tron cosplayers do to their bodysuits. Even so, really excited even if Ar Tonelico isn't that recognizable.

Ashisogi Jizo, for a group Zanpaku-to spirits cosplay. Yeah, I can see a lot of papier mache in the near future. I've got 'til May.

We're also doing a group cosplay of the Tetris blocks. I'm hooking mine up to my iPod dock so I can play the 8-bit music on loop until I go mad.
