OK... so I haven't updated here in a long time, I didn't even give you guys an update on how Supanova went sorryyyyyy.

In short, it went well and I had fun. YAY. Though I do have to rant about just one thing... DAN GREEN HUGGED ME OMG.

Now, onto the next important thing that has finally encouraged me to actually write in my damn journal, haha.

WAICON 2012!

That's right, it's not that far away and I really need to start considering what cosplays I'm gonna do.
Well, really, I already know, I'm just teasing

A large group of my friends and I are doing a Persona 4 group! Yaaaay!
Here's the line up thus far:

Naoto - yours truly.
Rise -
Yukiko -
Yosuke - our friend Nathan
Narukami/Seta/Protagonist - Mason, the guy who did our Phoenix Wright.
Kanji - if he's still willing
Teddie - my sister
But we don't have a Chie D:

So yeah, I volunteered for quite a bit of work over the next few months, on top of a heap of Greyco Costumes, I have to make three school jackets (my own, Yosuke's and Seta's) and a Teddie suit (*dies*) but is helping me with that one.
I also volunteered to make Fire Nation Katara for a friend who will be attending this as her first convention. As such I'd like to make Toph for myself, but I doubt I'll have to time. That's a project for another time.

I also have a super sneaky secret project you'll all just have to wait and see, I have to definite finish date for this one, but I'm starting it as soon as Waicon is done with.


PROGRESS REPORT

Jackets: 1% (pattern bought)
Naoto Glasses: 90% (have to push out the lenses otherwise I cannot actually see anything XD)
Teddie Suit: 1% (hypothesised as to how it can be done)
Fire Nation Katara: 0%
Super-Secret project: 0%

Progress is finally being made!

So with uni over for another semester I'm finally getting a chance to work on my cosplays for Supanova. I'm a little worried I've bitten off more than I can chew, making three cosplays in two and a half weeks is going to be an interesting scenario >.<

Anywho, just thought I'd give you a quick little update.

I finished my Klavier Jacket today, so all I have left to do on that is buy and alter a shirt, make his belt, buy his rings, some pants and finish his necklace. So I'm pretty much ready to move onto the next cosplay on my list
I also bought the wig yesterday, so that should be here in a few days time

We also dyed my pants for Chaud the other day. We were nervous that it wouldn't take properly, but we were deeeeead wrong. It took PERFECTLY. They look amazing. Once I've completed the rest of that cosplay I'll upload a photo of them.

My sister is currently working on our PETs. She's sculpting them herself. They're looking AMAZING thus far, I'll bully her into uploading some WIPs for you. We're hoping to get at least one done, seeing as Chaud's is never visible, but I want to try for both anyway.

Anywho, see you again soon for another update!

Thaaaaaaaat's right folks.

I've finally started my cosplays! I bought the fabric for Klavier's jacket a few days ago and I cut it out and everything yesterday, so I'll start sewing that probably Thursday. I also bought the chain too, so I'll be putting together his belt and necklace ASAP. I just have to work out how to make that bloody earring, and those rings too. I'll get there somehow.

Also, I'm not doing Lan Hikari anymore, I switched back with Rivers, so now she's doing Lan and I'm doing Chaud Blaze. That's how we originally had it, but then because I plan on doing Protoman and she's going to do Megaman we thought we ought to swap. But i decided I'd rather do Chaud, he's more my style.

So at this point I'll be doing Klavier one day at Supanova and Chaud the other. Have to work out with my mates what day they're doing Assassins Creed, coz that's when I'll do Chaud.

Anyhow, just thought i'd throw you a little update seeing as I've been really quiet lately.

UPDATE
I went shopping today and bought a stack-load of stuff for my Chaud cosplay. So that's now well on its way as well

Adieu!
