Cosplay

To talk about something more cheerful. Cosplay!

It's quite fun, really. It's not to fulfill the desire to be someone else, but to dress up and muck about and act like an idiot. (There's this plan involving coloured, patterned toe socks for Hitsugaya and Matsumoto...) Plus I like making stuff. Sewing and making armour and guns out of carboard and plastic. Of course I whine and cry while making them, but you know...

Anyway, Bleach is still in the works because of various delays. I quite want to try making Lelouche next, though I have no idea how to make that helmet - saw an extremely awesome cosplay of him at Comiket, but I think that was professionally made. =_= May have to do without a helmet.

I also want to make Kuroro's outfit. I won't ever look the part, but his jacket is so cool *_*

And then I really need to think about cosplaying more cheerful characters. XD; I don't read/watch enough series to know many characters, though. Could do games... but I can't be Vaan because he doesn't wear a shirt, I don't like Ashe, and hate Penelo's outfit. And I sure as hell will not and cannot be Fran. And Larsa isn't cheerful. Can't think of other games.

Suggestion?

Liz, practice camwhoring.

I think I need to get a contact lenses eye test. All the decent colour lenses require a prescription.

One of the main characters from FF Tactics Advanced! \:D/ Like Mewt or Rizt. X3

I'm going as Unohana for a costume contest. XD;

XD! The only FF I've played are FF8, 10 and 12, so I don't know any of the other characters!

!!! Good luck!

I wish I knew how to sew. Cosplaying sounds very fun and silly. *likes fun and silly*

Kuroro's jacket = yay.

Sewing is not as hard as you might think! My first costume was made by looking at how my own clothes are put together, and then cutting&sticking newspaper together to make the pattern, and then just cut cloth from it and sew together. XD

*loves the jacket!*

Zidane Tribal from FFIX, the yaoi ff (featuring hakkai as the bad guy! win)
part of the extreme otp Zidane/Kuja (with previous being zidane/block and a brief failed fling with Garnet ruined by her being human)

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Zidane_Tribal
as far as i can tell the most complicated bit would be the tail (earless catboi-) well he's a monkey actually

or you could do the villain of the piece, Kuja
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kuja

or if you're feeling particularly brave and want to be particularly obscure Romeo gildenstern from Vagrant story
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Romeo_Guildenstern

but at least you wouldn't be one of the multitudinous yunas who bought their costume on ebay
