Dragon · & · Phoenix · Cosplay

I know, I know, haven't posted here in, well, um, a very long time. . .

Anyway, here's some ideas for some non-anime costumes that we're thinking of doing. . . No time limit or goals on these, just things we're thinking of doing.

Dragon
Seas ~ original character
Ar'Trellan ~ orignal character (well, I'm going to design the costume, then find some unsuspecting male friend to wear it for pictures. XD)
Celestiel ~ original character
Citronella ~ Don't Know Either
Deanna Troi ~ Star Trek: TNG
Ozma of Oz ~ Frank Baum's Oz Series

Phoenix
Vy ~ original character
Palace ~ original character (okay, I want to see if I can get her to do this one. . . XD)
Tanis. . . ? ~ original character (I'd like her to do this just for pictures/poses, at least. . .)
Zeke ~ Don't Know Either
Tasha Yar ~ Star Trek: TNG

We also want to do various and sundry medieval costumes. . . ^.^ When we get the time for it. XD Oh, and EGL! That's been talked about a lot lately -- I want to make some alterations to the dress I took pictures in (see my last picture post with my haircut), and do some original designs. . .

*shrugs* We're taking a break from anime costumes for a little while; not forever, though! ^.^ We already have some plans for 2008 costumes, never fear!

Nothing like a letter from a friend and $100 in Jo-Anne's giftcards to get one's creativity flowing! XD

Yesterday we bought four patterns, 10 1/2 yards of fabric, notions, and everything else we need for a certain costume. ^.^ So this weekend, if we have time, we'll start cutting and working on that.

pgsm_serenity -- do you still want me to do the commission for you? I have fabric/initial price options behind the cut.

Anyway, there are some options for you to think about. Um, I can't seem to find your measurements -- please send them again to my email (michiru.kou@gmail.com). That'll determine the overall cost of the fabrics. Also, please remember that those are only the prices for the skirt, bib and bow; the body of the top will be made out of a different fabric (probably a cotton, roughly 2 yards worth), and I'll price that for you in a bit. ^.^

For the sake of updating. Erm. Well. We've gotten boots!! :D And. Wings!! .....we're slackers. ;__;

We really need to get working on things...a lot....and soon... Or I'll cry. Lots. But it's been pretty impossible lately...what with work and lack of decent funds. And lack of attention span. That's part of it, too. On my part. I fin dit hard to focus on things when my attention is split into several directions at once. :p Meh. Enough of that.

Just proving I exist, really. XD Uhm... Bye?

Thanks to getting an awesome employee discount, I now have the white boots for Eternal. We still need to get said boots for Haruka; the website has them, but my store doesn't. o_O Ah, well. I also got us a set of feather wings to take pictures in Eternal in -- I'm not sure if we'll be taking them to cons or not, as they're rather fragile. Still, they look cool.

Katsucon 2006

Haruka and I have pretty well planned out our costumes for Katsu. We still need to check the forums, and find out when certain photoshoots are happening, and see if we can convince some photographers to do some shoots for us. We're probably doing a skit -- but you'll have to wait until Katsu itself to find out what it is! XD Anyway, here are the costumes we're planning on at the moment.

Dragon Costumes
Princess Neptune (in progress)
Sailor Neptune S (finished, need touch ups)
Sailor Neptune Supers (possibly)
Eternal Sailor Neptune (finished, needs touch ups)
Casual Kakyuu (needs started)
Juuban High seifuku (needs started)
Mugen Gakuen seifuku (finished)
Death (needs started)

Phoenix Costumes
Princess Uranus (in progress)
Sailor Uranus S (finished, needs touch ups)
Sailor Uranus SuperS (possibly)
Eternal Sailor Uranus (finished, needs touch ups)
Casual Taiki (needs started)
Juuban High seifuku (needs started)
Mugen Gakuen seifuku (finished)
Desire (needs started)

So, that's the plans for now.
