Next stop, Fanime!

Hi guys!

AOD was pretty fun and all but I spent most of my time inside the malls and our hotel room more than the actual con itself. So I can't really judge on how fun the convention itself was... but whatever! My friends and I won best presentation runner up which was surprising and cool at the same time. We worked hard for that dang skit and it was our first time doing a voice recording so we're so glad it came out well! ^~^;

Next up in line is Fanime. The con I have been waiting for. I love it more than Anime Expo I think and I've been to AX 3 times already and Fanime only 2 times! Heh. I don't know, it's not too crowded but it's definitely not empty. I love the hotels being close and the weather. I also love the friends I've made there, the swap meet, the raves, the atmosphere, the convention center. Anime Expo was great at Anaheim but the Staples center is a bit too long and I end up doing more walking than I'd like to :[ So that deducted points off of AX for me. STILL I love it but Fanime comes first to me....so far :D

I have big plans this year too so I'm going to be busy busy busy! I can't say some of what I'll be doing but I will say it's going to be awesome *~* I'll add a cosplay line-up photo or whatever to this so you can see what I'll be taking. For now I think I will sleep. I am tired....good night you guyyyzzz !!

My Cosplay list...toned down :[

I think I've been going a bit over board on cosplay too. I've been wanting to make WAAAAY too many costumes. I know I want to, but themoney is unfortunately an issue and I really need to calm down with it all. I have 4 new costumes I want to make for Fanime and I think that is all I will buy anything for. I already have all I need for Fado, I don't exactly have all I need for Luxray but I might just paint my body where the blue shows....I kind of like the idea of that but I don't know. I DON'T KNOW. O___O We shall see about that idea later.

ANYWAY! I'll list character names of all I will work on from now until Fanime. They won't exactly be in the order I'll be making them because I usually work on a few at a time!

(Thanks Ne-chan for the post, helped me kind of calm down with the cosplay thing too.) I love cosplay but...I honestly do need to relax before I'm broke and also too busy to find a job.

July 2010 - May 2011 (Assuming our list won't change...)

Fado - Windwaker (??)

Luxray - Pokemon (??)

Kisa Sohma - Fruits Basket (AOD, Sac Anime)

Squalo superbi - KHR! (AOD - Casual | Uniform - Fanime)

Lavi 3rd Uniform - D.Gray-man (Fanime)

Dizzy - Guilty Gear X (Fanime)

Peppitia Rosetti - Star Ocean 3 (Fanime)

Yeah, that's it. Man, I'm tired...good night.

-Cough- Watch this - cough - So dang cute XD

Back on Track!

Hi guys!

^~^ I'm sorry for my lack of posting, and I know I always apologize like this too... but I really AM sorry! I've been busy and lazy, yes, lazy..... but here I am now with some cosplay updates!

Even though Fanime is over until next year there are still costumes I want to make! This summer I have only 3 in mind and that is Fado, Luxray and my Sand Bender cosplays. I'm pretty excited for them and all three of them combined will still cost less than my Princess Agitha costume XD

I won't need to buy any new wigs, my friends have offered to let me borrow their wigs. :) Which is nice of them, and they're always welcome to borrow my wigs or even costumes...!

Ahhhhh.. Alright, pictures!

Fado:

Luxray (designed by me):

Sand bender:
?? No picture yet but they're from Avatar: The Last Airbender! :3 My friends are doing an avatar group of sand benders so I'm joining in!

Oh and I posted a few Fanime vids on my Youtube! Also, I have a new vlog up and I'm editing my Cosplay in America video too right now!

Pysphers: To Glow or not to Glow?

The answer is. To not glow. Due to stress and lack of time/money...we have decided to hold off the glowing part of our Pysphers. Right now we have too much on our plate as it is and need to work on what we really DO need finished for fanime. Our psyphers will unfortunately not glow this time!

We're all signed up for the Masquerade and will be #25. I'm pretty excited!! Our skit is already written out and we'll probably be practicing it by next month. Everyone has a lot to finish before the end of next month. It's going to get hectic in May but I have confidence that my cosplay group will pull through and we'll all look awesome by the time Fanime actually rolls around. O___O WE WILL BE EPIC. Okay, I don't know if other people will think so...but in our opinion? Epic. Who wouldn't like a group of 10 people, one stuffed animal mascot (Beetithy) all cosplaying from Odin Sphere? It truly is an amazing game and I hope our expression of love for it, really does show. :]

Pokemanz...ftw!k

I'm gonna be the very best, like no one ever was....

To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokemon to understand
The power that's inside

Pokemon!

...Okaaaaaaaaaaaay. Anyway!

I've really gotten back into Pokemon, if you haven't noticed. It all started when I tried out Pokemon Diamond. You see, I stopped after Silver. I stopped playing most handheld games period. While in Texas, Robby gave me his nice DSlite he never plays and let me have it. Along with it came some games! First I was playing Spirit Tracks, which I need to finish and then along came Pokemon and I tried it just for the heck of it. Minutes turned to hours, and hours..days. LOL.

Yeah. I love playing pokemon games. Our little town even has a new game store with games and I went over there yesterday to check it out. Robby bought us a game called RedSteel and Pokemon XD (Gale of Darkness)... It's okay for a gamecube game..~

I can't wait until I can make more pokemon gijinka costumes!

The next ones will be: Abra, Mudkip and Finneon...most likely.

Brainstorming 'n stuff..

Lately I've been really thinking about what other costumes I want to bring to Fanime, aside from Mercedes and Agitha.

Right now I am thinking...Leafeon is a DEFINITE possibility (seeing as I have all the material I need for the outfit) and now I'm thinking of cosplaying the Poe Merchant from LoZ: Ocarina of Time!

I bought some brown stretchy, brown fabric that was on sale today for $4! I also bought a zipper I needed for like $0.97. Pretty good deals. ^~^; I plan on making my gloves for Agitha with the brown fabric. I just need to learn HOW to make gloves first. I'm a little nervous but I'd rather make them than pay like $15 bucks for gloves that I'd have to alter anyway! -_-; Now that I have fabric I can make some and have enough for my Leafeon cosplay too. I plan on making the hand-paws and feet-paws with them. It'll be cute----I hope! XD

Sheik is Not Home YET.

That's right. If you aren't subscribed to my other personal blog (strawberiistarz.blogspot.com) then you may think I am back home. I'm not. It's kind of a long story, so read the latest post in my other blog.

I will be back though I think on April 7th. Going to buy a TRAIN ticket today.

The train is fun, and cool...and yeah..

No cosplay stuff, really. I've just been preoccupied but I want to work on some things!

I need to bring out the sewing machine again. I just haven't been in the cosplay-mood.

(.__.); I do miss home, but I enjoy being with Robby so much!

Rawr. Sucks.

2 months & 5 days left until

FANIMECON!!!

More Food on my Cosplay Plate?

I know, I know...I have a lot on my plate right? Wrong. D: There's still a third day that I'd like to have a cosplay for..or I could wear one twice but I like having a new one for everyday! I'm thinking I could still possibly make my Pokemon Gijinka cosplay, like some of my friends plan on doing. At least, I think they're still doing...

There's also another character I might cosplay as because Robby's mom gave me some fabric that I could possibly use. ;D! I haven't told anyone about this nor have I given much hint towards it so we'll see.

On ANOTHER note I have a green wig now so I'm thinking I could totally do a Saria cosplay! ^~^ All I would need to make is like a vest-ish top, shorts and then wear a dark green sweater underneath and add like a green boot cover to some cheap boots. My wig might not be THAT accurate but a lot of girls have done different tones of green because its dark in the artwork and like a brighter green in the actual game.

For Leafeon...I could either copy the exact design from the artwork I've chosen or just kind of do my own thing because Pokemon Gijinka is just a human form of Pokemon so you can do your own thing really! :3

But yah...I'z crazy, I know... but I can't help making more cosplays!!!lol
