Pokeballs Days 267 - 271

Eck, I have to get back into posting. It really is a good motivator, I've just been feeling really busy.

But today, I actually did cosplay stuff! I spray painted half of a red beach ball to white so that I can detail it tomorrow or Saturday to look like a Pokeball for my Santa Cruz cosplay beach gathering on Saturday, at which I will be Swimmer Girl from Pokemon Platinum. Yes, it's a really easy costume, but hey, it's a bathing suit, and I'm actually putting decent effort into the beach ball at least, haha.

Also, I made little regular-sized Pokeballs out of styrofoam, pretty much for the heck of it. I made a great ball, a net ball, and a dive ball. They're not perfect, but I think they're adorable.

Tomorrow, I'm having a party with some friends from my old Improv class, so I won't be doing anything.

Then Saturday is my beach gathering! I'm quite excited. There are more people going to the gathering than there are coming to my party. Heh. My friends kinda suck T_T Too busy for little ol' me. Oh well.

HATS! (Days 253 & 254)

I made two more hats =] Another Magikarp and a Mew.

ALSO~! I'm putting together a beach cosplay gathering on July 10th! Check out the Cosplay.com thread >>here<< for more info. I will be cosplaying Swimmer Girl from Pokemon Platinum, and my boyfriend will be cosplaying Biker Guy from Pokemon Platinum. We're actually almost done with our costumes too, even though we only seriously started two days ago. All I have to do is exchange my bathing suit bottom for a smaller one, buy a beach ball, and paint it. All my boyfriend (meaning me) has to do is find my old visor and paint it. Whee~! Easiest cosplays EVAH!

As for my Franziska von Karma cosplay and his Miles Edgeworth cosplay.. I suppose they're sort of on hold. I'm trying to finish all of these hats before I work on Franziska and Miles. I'm probably going to work right up to the day before Kin-Yoobi on the hats, but that'll still give me over two full months to finish Franziska and Miles, so I'm not too worried yet. =]

No Progress! (Day 245)

Yeah, so I've only been designing costume concepts, really. No real progress whatsoever. I need to get my butt down to the fabric store! And to Target >_>

It looks like I actually might get to do a cosplay beach gathering =D Anyone interested, let me know. An area hasn't been picked yet, but I was thinking somewhere in San Fransisco or Santa Cruz, but a less-popular beach that'll let us barbecue and stuff.

If that does happen, I want to be a Swimmer Girl from Pokemon Platinum =] I'm all re-addicted to Pokemon and the idea of Pokemon cosplays, sorry. Of course I can't find a picture of her. But it's essentially a light blue/teal bikini with a beach ball that looks like a Pokeball. I'd like to get as accurate as possible with it, but we all know that it's probably not possible to just go out and buy a 100% accurate Pokemon Swimmer Girl bathing suit from Target. SO I'm just going to try to get as close as I can and paint a beach ball to look like a Pokeball.

In addition to that, I got an amazingly awesome Pokemon cosplay idea, but I'm not going to post it, buahahaha! Because I'm evil. And I don't want my awesome idea stolen =[
