Hai hai hai!

STGCC drawing so close. Love Live invasion! Hahahaha first store bought costume finally! Generic series characters usage. The blazer is so comfortable. Tho a bit restricting on the shoulders and armpits. Luckily took a size bigger. Damn it if only there was 2 sizes bigger. The skirt is really nice! BUT. Hahahha its wayyyyy too short. It is lacking the underskirt too. Damn. The set came with the bows, and since I picked Nozomi set, I got the hair ties included too. The hair ties is exactly the material I wanted. Lol lucky for that too. But still had to modify the hair ties to a little more fluff ties.
Only today realised that Nozomi uses thigh high socks. Oh crap. Thats fine. Daiso trip tomorrow! And still lacking shoes and green lenses.

Hahahaahah I have a plan with that pink Ao no Exorcist skirt. Hurr~ and yay found my Uniqlo women top. Aahhh Uniqlo stuff are so much raburabu. Tried to do the tarot cards but I have seriously no idea how to do vectors on Gimp. Loser sia me.

Still contemplating if I wanna go on Sunday or not. I wanna do Thrandy DOS but but the lens and haven't fix the crown yet.

2nd crown done!

Thranduil's crownlet WIP. Its was done... 2 days before. Aahahha. And finished with a layer of silver spray and podge right before i stepped out to wear the crown. 

Crown consists of wire, polymer, and a starlight gem.

Minimal makeup I beg your pardon. Its quite thick. Maybe will make a finer crown. Someday...

Last prop pre AFA post

Oh yeahh the rings and brooch are all done and completed. Actually, only the stone and that snakey ring thingy I did them. The rest of the rings (brooch included) I import them. Hurr they are so expensive, especially shipping. Vomit blood. Have to use pre-saved AFA funds for them. The irony...
The self made one are... horrendous.
Since the rings are wayyy bigger then my size, had to insert another ring with adjustable band (from Mizu's stock de. Hehehe)

 Yes I bought 2 of this.

The staff are all done too. Wig tested. The added side comb are sick on my hair line, so won't have to use them.

Crap, not feeling especially well.   /dizzy spells and nauseous

Red berries and leaves

So done with crown...

All the berries painfully individually done + painted. Leaves I tried to do some transparent ones, but they seem a little bit too much, so omitting them out. 

Well... nice but but its damn retard to wear. /sobs sobs

So, all thats left to be done are... Everything else. (Excluding the wig of cos)

More WIP

WIP WIP WIP time!!!

Ongoing progress for AFA 2014. And end of year movie event i hope. Hnghhhh so much rabu rabu for swag dad. Another daddy character. Bring out your non-existent paternal kokoro.

Props first before wig. Then wig before costume. Hahah so basically costume is leftover budget.

Oh right crown first!

During wiring to get the basic structure. It reminds me of the Nuclear pore basket. Science student much.

Basic and the back 'branches' go go go autumn crown~

And more details. Hahah oh gawd didn't realised my toes are there.

The side view.

And then clay and prime and prime a few more layers. Going to add even more details maybe in October, and then finish it up.

 Anyways, couldn't get a nice real lace front wig, so went for cheaper and much more roundabout method of getting normal wig and transforming it painfully and yet enjoyably into q lace front with hair line and all. Lmao~ Sew sew sew your wig

 

Left is reverse wafts. Didn't go all the way up but just enough to give a convincing back comb effect. And then on to the side burns. screw that my natural sideburns is a lot,, so will have to cover it. Boohoohoo.

 

How long is Ada's wig? hahah not too bad with the crown. The crown fits just nice, but the wig is really slippery. Will hafta add a comb to the crown.

 

Dunndun dun dunn sorry not sorry no makeup. Hahah at least the net covers the shine on may forehead. And those colours are complementary to normal make up when will wear uhhhh when Ada is going to swag partehhh   OTL hahah aomg my face looks long in this wig. I want V-shape and sharper chin can?

Ps: I cant look down on floor in this set up. So will be all high and mighty. Kufufuufufu. Looking down= sideburn wafts Loreal hair shampoo. Ddamn annoying. Hnghhh falling faliing falliinnnggg

Oh yeah... I totally forgot abt the staff. Uh teh clay dropped and it hardens into that 'splat'spherical shape. Rofl.

Wigs styling post~

Haven't styled some wigs for quite some time. Yuu chan got Rui wig, and asked to style it. But its a shivering experience because I am just not able to come to terms with the wig quality. Quite poor quality. There is such a difference with FS quality (well, most of the old fibers, but their new fibres are not that bad either).

Here is the wig unstlyed. Oh and it doesn't come with tags to indicate that its very brand new. Hahahaha quite amusing, but okay. Tags not important anyways. Straight and its seems like natural black.

Then on with the first curling. Just to get the wig warmed up I thought. I dare not go for high temperature because, this isn't mine to yolo with. Haha And the wig so stubborn. Even with many attempts at normal curling method. Hmmm after multiple retrying, got some curls at the edge. Yesh now can start the real styling after done with basic curls everywhere. Just did slight curling on the fringe too. 

Unsatisfying really. Multiple tries again to get the final result. 

Auntie curly hobbit. The fringe no cutting because, its perfect for my face proportions from my 'wig stand'. Hope it will be okay on Yuu chan face too. Lawl. MSN wig won't need cutting also leh.

So here I am writing this post, because I am stuck in my room holding in naature's call, because my grandma is performing prayers outside my room door. And she always take a really long time, haven't even end and do reading and chanting yet.

:'D    dies in room

So lemme dig some nice quality wig to compare with

That softness and HNGHHH feel... right but bad quality picture. This was when I was going to dye it for Motochika.  Human scalp top also. Much raburabu.

This is Dorn

Behold such ugly attempt. Hahahahah Is so going to try with wire and coat both crowns with clay or something. It can't even fit my head. Big head much. Lawl.

Dada crown of organic

Collected some twigs to get a start on Thrandy for year end events hopefully.

Was going to cut them up, then the mindcrap shit on me... 1 layer will break the crown and not sit on the top part of the head comfortably. Reluctantly, went to switched Heine on to check of the ref pic.
I am bloody right. Its freaking 2 layered.

Boohoo this will be so fun to make. And a killer too. Urghhh can't wait to do the staff after!
But first, need to get glue gun sticks. ZZzzzz

So while no glue, start on Shinsuke's joui. I SWEAR THE CLOTH WAS A BIT PURPLE AND RED MIX AT THE SHOP, BUT WHEN I LAID THEM OUT TO CUT AT HOME, ITS... WELL WHAT YOU SEE IN THESE PICTURES. GDI MAN.
Will start on hemming later and then piece them all up by tonight. Collar and bias finish up tmr.

Shall sew the hoods to the capes by this Friday. They turn out okay and doesn't spiral outwards the ends, after ironing. Uurghhh the hoods. Damn lazy to re-start back on something after a moment of 'pause'.
Pfft

SnK cape

Haven't been sewing nor making cosplay related stuff for some time already.
But made a few pJs and home shorts from scrap cloths. Shall made harem pants or skirts soon also.

Meanwhile, just had time to do the cape trial. Doing mine first so.. if fucked up, its okay.

Its... very long. I think this is size L already. But maybe after hem will be alright for M. Today good day to sew, but... I got period cramps and the vomitting routine and sleep spell starts. Just woke up from KO-ed.
Urghhh. wasted. Things are not meant to be.  -shrugs-

Tmr... or someday shall continue this. 

Urban and the flag

Whoa have been away from the computer for a long time and when finally on, productivity is still low.
Pressed for time to do notes(which I gave up and decided to dig for last year's on instead), SnK urban theme for a shoot this coming weekend and also other things. But mainly not background noise are these two things. 

Today is finally 100% completed with the flag and the revamped patches.

Black is the badass jacket. Its suddenly not a good idea to do Petra in this outfit. Because the very moment my hands touches the barely of the blazer, the inner Oga feel intensifies. Hahaha! The shoulder 'rank' thing black is from Hotsuin's coat. (I am sorry Hotsuin) and the colour is very different form the blazer. Oh wells, black  is black.  -shifty eyes-

Then on to the flag of Wall Maria. Its not evenly painted but still looks nice. Actually ran out of black paint. And my amazing hands smeared some funny lines and patches on Maria. Hahah omg! Under the nose now looked like she sneezed and booger comes out. Lawl. but overall.. This is SnK, so.. I guess some 'wear and tear' like this is okay. -bricks- Rico gonna shoot me down for this. 

Doing all these listening to Venus. Just cool man.

I CANT WAIT FOR CYBER coses of anything. HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DO EVERYTHING CYBER FOR AGES SINCE GLAY'S MV. /BLEBS O///w///O

Now with all done.. I need to nurse head to optimum state. Headache for a few days already. Jeeez man.

Assorted feels

Clip dried and almost done packing for EOY. 

And to MIDDLE EARTH. I went to Mirkwood and never returning. At Hougang waiting for Galadriel to arrive. 

Finally going to watch Hobbit after 1 year of waiting. I totally looked like I am wearing my PJs out and with my fab bed hair.
I have no words to describe the /feels and /feels tsunami. Hahaha!

 And hello idk why I even want to put this disgusting pic up. Rofl. I am quiet ready for EOY! Nyahahahaha~

Lacus WIP

85% done with Lacus. Finally will be doing this version ever since... the anime episode aired. Hahah thats very very long time ago. The head ribbon, clip, lace trimming below the skirt, the inner sleeve 'white portion' and all the snap buttons to fix obi 'flower' into place are left. Whew. Took 2 days to do this. Not that long. Damn I am fat man. Looks fluffed up. Oh well.

Will be borrowing my mother's shoes if the white boots failed.

Meanwhile painting the gold clip.

progress shuffled

For day 3.
ALL my plans are poofed.
Lol.
Day 1 suddenly got work. So I coming after work. MAYBE just maybe I do Hotsuin. Or just wear fairy outfit from ice-skating. Means I can't bring many things to work. Lmao...

Day 2    /Petrafied
'nuf said

Gears left to spray turbine and attach all together. And jacket to do.

Day 3 Rin MINDFUCKED girl ver. Well.... its done! I hope the male white shirt can pass off for female.

Sir!

Cut and ready to be hemmed. Opps I just realised I havent draft the collar yet.
Shall sew while recuperating next week. Put time off to good use.

Val Night

Should do a T.M.Rev Birthday post!

♪♪♪ お誕生日おめでとうございます~! ♪♪♪

Heheheh went out to eat ramen and cawanmushi finally.



Heine is lagging on gimp a while so I will post a costume breakdown. 
Not SnK but for the 3rd night.

VALVRAVE NIGHT! -woots!-

Hahahahahahahahahhahahaha so budget I max out this costume is going to be around $30. Hopefully cloth won't be evil. This exclude wig and boots. But those stuff equals to NIL cos will loop around other character that needs the same wig/ boot style.
Now just let me find my clay. If it hardens, I will have to soften with water or .... find other alternatives. 

My taobao shipping is shit man. Boots double the price. But still less than $30 so its okay. Hold on... haven't arrived yet. no reason to be rejoicing. I hope it fits. If not, I will have to chop off my toes.

Still have ti look for Joui's Takasugi cloth. Just the inner lining saturated maroon/magenta somewhere in the middle. Grrr I hate colours somewhere in the middle. Like the gold for L-elf.
Oh sweet... just remembered that ran out of gold and white gold paint too. FML

At this rate I won't have money left for concert and even the admission fee. Dammit I need a sugar family. 

Break fast gears

Draw

Cut

  
More cutting

Assemble

Inner guard

Then head out to movie~ heh.
My mom's duct tape rocks. My skin came off together with the tape. Lol. Lucky for dead skin layer.
=W= 

Lag WIP much

Fro cosfest day 1. Ottoya's verison. I totally forgot to make the badge accessories. Ahhahah what a cosfuq... Anyways, its long sleeved cut to 3/4  then fold to half sleeve and added an extension of black cloth from Hotsuin Yamato's uniform remains.

No WIP pictures for Hotsuin though  ;___; Was too busy rushing his things.

And Shinsuke's outer gi. Awesome cloth which I painted on the designs instead of initial plan to get a black base with gold dragon motif chinese brocade. Expensive cloth is expensive. Heh. 

2 1/2m is NOT enough. The sleeve I have to stop the length at 3/4   OTL

That strip at the bottom is the collar. Maximising cloth for the winz!
Used at Cosmo parade~

Whee~ benizakura arc Gintama
Man no nice together pic with zura.  D':
