xD I'm doing the rest of the costume, yeah. Ne, Taro...do you have any ideas as to how to do the vest? It's not precisely simple. D:

O: Oh? =D Are you going to take pictures?

"...I fall in love and find my heart face down..."

[Taro Rae]

I will take pictures yes... Right now I'm pinning together the pieces that are done. ^^

There's actually more of it done than I thought.

As for the vest... The way I would do it is to take a piece of heavy cloth - like canvas or oilskin, and cut out the shpaes as seen in the vest out of thick cardboard or plastic, and then stitch a piece of thin grade vinyl down over top, so that it goes around the outlines of the plastic inside. Then it's have the right look and the rigidity you want. ^^

Oooh, okay. What is the costume for, an event of some kind? =o

I believe she's going to a con as Vergil, and her friend is going as Dante.

No problem. I love the puzzle-solving of cosplay. XD D wants to do Gretel from Ever After by Endling, and it's going to be frickin hard to get right.

[eat my junk]

Ahh, okay. :3

I've only attempted cosplay once, but I don't plan on trying again. I just think I'm too large for it. Fatties like me shouldn't cosplay. xD

"And it's like, every time I turn around..."

xD Indeed, that is what we're doing <3

Oh wow.~ That's going to be a tricky one.

"...I fall in love and find my heart face down..."

[Taro Rae]

I think we're going to end up maknig the belt out of 16 gage steel. O . O

Also, I'm gonig to need to go out this weekend and buy another 10 metres of gold cord. And 10 metres of the thinnest gold ribbon i can find. < , <

Ahh, okay. :3

I've only attempted cosplay once, but I don't plan on trying again. I just think I'm too large for it. Fatties like me shouldn't cosplay. xD

My body type really limits what I can cosplay too. I have the exact proportions of a Rumiko Takahashi female.

And since the 80s, no noe has drawn that type of girl ever again.

And none of the 80s girls are remotely interesting to cosplay < , <

Besides, I'd rather be a dapper boy any day.

like so~

Oh, and here's my pride and joy of medieval dresses:

"And it's like, every time I turn around..."

xD I'd rather cosplay males as well.

@.@ *whistles* That's going to be quite a project.

"...I fall in love and find my heart face down..."

[eat my junk]

That's not so bad though. If you're thinner, you can get away with a lot more cosplays than if you're large. There just aren't many fat anime characters, and the ones that do exist, aren't the kind I'd want to cosplay. >.<

*Paws at the dress* So gorgeous. Do want. <33

I'm so odd when it comes to costuming. I love dressing up, but I hate being looked at. xD

[Taro Rae]

*nods* yeah, i adore cosplay, and i compete and everything...
but i photograph horribly.

I don't have any good pictures of me just as myself... < , <

[+Sephiros Immortal+]

"And it's like, every time I turn around..."

I'm not at all photogenic. D: *lecry*

"...I fall in love and find my heart face down..."

[eat my junk]

Ugh, how I photograph just depends. Depends on what, you ask? I don't freaking know. Sometimes they're just really good, and sometimes they're horrid. xD

I just hate being singled out for anything, but I like to get all dressed up. But my need to blend in often wins over my need to dress up, so my really awesome clothing pieces rarely see the light of day. >.>
