Amanda Here ^^
As everyone should already know, I'm pretty indecisive (if you couldn't tell from the Title of this post). My S-Con plans have changed (again). I'm going to save Nida for a later Con. The gun intimidates me, and I don't feel like I have enough Cosplay experience yet. Emi will be a kinda 'if I have time' Cosplay. As of right now I'm working on:
Hatsune Miku [Rain Ver.]
Hatsune Miku [山茶花 (Camilla) Ver.]
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - Anarchy Panty (Left)
I'll post pictures of how I did everything once the Cosplay is completely finished so it can all be up in one spot. As for right now my progress is:
Rain Miku
Bought: umbrella, tie, and headphones.
Need to buy: wig, sleeves, boots, and stockings.
Need to make: top, bikini top, skirt with straps, spray paint headphones, and cover the inside of clear umbrella with light pink cellophane.
Camilla Miku
Bought: pearls, and shoes.
Need to buy: wig, flowers, gloves, stocking, and since the shoes I oh-so-brilliantly decided to get are 5inch platform stilettos (there are no images of her shoes), I need easy-go
flats.
Need to make: Hat-thing, and dress.
Anarchy Panty
Bought: wig, eyeshadow, fake eyelashes, earing's, necklaces, 2 bracelets, shoes, and panties.
Need to buy: 2 more bracelets, necklace clasp, red shoe paint, and parts for gun.
Need to make: paint bracelets, put necklaces together, paint shoes, make dress, and make gun.
To Do This Week:
Finish Panty's bracelets.
Order: cellophane, Rain/Camilla Miku stockings, flowers.
Megan and I are going to try and make it down to
AX (Anime Expo) this year, so that will add a few more Cosplays to work on.
As for PAX...I'm having some difficulties. With the upcoming release of the new
Mortal Kombat this year, I really wanted to add
Kitana to my PAX Cosplay list. That would put me at 5, which is too many. I'm thinking about dropping Ibuki/Clair. I've been having a really hard time finding everything in the right
shade of blue for her. The wig I ordered is not accurate, I can't find accurate boots, my gloves are off, etc...and I'm starting to get frustrated. All of my Cosplay's excluding Ibuki are for, when PAX rolls around, new(ish) games. Hellequin (Brotherhood Nov 10), Fuuro (Blk/White March 11), Quorra (Tron Dec 10), Kitana (MK 09 April 11). I wanted to cosplay Fuuro anyways, so I could just use her for my Pokemon League character.
I also really want Quorra to be 110% Accurate. That means I want the hexagonal patterns on the fabric of her out fit, the contacts, the designs on the back of the boots, getting the LED-Tape to make sharp turns, etc. She's going to be one where, if it's not perfect, i'm not wearing it. My goal is to get her done for PAX, but she's probably going to cost me around $500 to completely finish, so she's done when she's done.
We'll see what happens. I'm sure shit will change between now and then too X3
Thats it for now ^-^
