NEW COSPLAY IDEA: Phoenix Wright (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)

Heh. Heheheh. The image amuses me. He's objecting to my text! Oh noes!

So, really, while I love the games, I'm not a big fan of Phoenix himself. He's a little too wimpy for my tastes, but I suppose I'll manage. This is a companion costume to my boyfriend's eventual Mile's Edgeworth cosplay. I really love Edgey. I mean really. It's unhealthy, I'm sure. After convincing my boyfriend to cosplay him for my amusement, I realized that I wouldn't have a matching cosplay, which is just unheard of for me.

So I toyed around with ideas for a matching one, so many characters to choose from. Then I decided that my boyfriend and I would wear these to Yaoi-Con, and what better pain that MilesxPhoenix! OMG LOLZ TEH YAOI! I kid, of course xP Maybe.

The plan is to get a giant sign, like the commonly-seen "Objection!" sign, except it'll say "Yaoi!" on one side instead. Ah, all in good fun, of course.

I'm mainly worried about the hair though, of course. I'll most likely be getting a wig and styling the shiznit out of it. That's a lot of gel. I'm pretty sure I can just buy the rest, I even have a tie about that color already. I'm more worried about making Miles, but I still see it as being easy, though we really should start searching for stuff now, because everyone knows if we wait, we won't find what we need.

NEW COSPLAY IDEA: Pipe Fox (xxxHolic)

Why are there no good images of this thing? Seriously.

So, I've gone and done it again. That's right, I added yet another cosplay to my list. This time it's a human-form version of the pipe fox (transformed) from xxxHolic. I was drawn to the pipe fox when it first appeared in it's smaller form because of how adorable it was. I immediately wished for one of my own, from which came the desire to cosplay it. But, of course, such a simple cosplay would be, well, not very much fun. Not to mention a bit harder to do. I do not want to attempt to walk around looking like a fuzzy worm with cat ears. (I say "attempt" because I'd have no legs.) So I ignored the thought as much as I could, deciding it probably wouldn't happen and maybe I'd just make a miniature version of it for myself.


Then I saw the glory that was the pipe fox's transformation. My first thought was that it looked suspiciously like the nine-tailed fox from Okami (heh, what a one-track mind I have). Then I started noticing similarities in the art work of it, the markings on the face and the tufts of fur on the legs. That was the end of it for me. I knew I had to cosplay this thing.


Of course, it could just be an excuse for me to make another costume like Amaterasu's, because I fully intend to stick to that style. I think I'm looking forward to the mask the most, since I'd really like to take another crack at altering a mask. I'm still not entirely pleased with my first attempt on Amaterasu. I'm also looking to try making digitigrade hind legs again (with "backwards" knees). My first attempt, even though I had amazing instructions via Matrices.net, I really had no idea what I was doing and thought I could just wing it. Though I still do love my Ammy feet / legs, they're nowhere near what I had originally hoped for.

I also still want to make a little untransformed pipe fox for myself. I'll probably even keep with with me when I do the full-on cosplay. It sounds like it could be a fun / cute little side-project. I already know what I'm going to make it out of and how I'm going to do it. I just need the materials, which, if I remember right, are on sale at JoAnn's right now. I should probably check tomorrow. If they're not on sale, I could use some material I have now (it's the material I want, but not the exact color). Ah, well. We shall see =]

I'm excited about this (obviously).
