meiqcosplay

A little list of the things that I intend on cosplaying sometime in the near future. And if any of you know...near future can be anywhere from now and a year's time.

1. Code Geass  - C.C. (I've been wanting to do this since evercool drew a hawt picture of this girl a long time ago. Before I knew what series it was.  But that's okay. This girl is cool. I will be wearing her to Waicon this year because I hear there's going to be at least one other Geass character there. :3
2. Loveless - Ritsuka. Well this one's a given.
   
3. Gundam Seed - MeiRin. Coz I'm surrounded by it. And I either make her or I'm accosted for another character by alyssea both of which I don't really mind but yeah. There's no MeiRin yet.
4. Game project with two other people. Which I won't reveal until it's complete.
   
5. Personal project - which I won't list here because it's a special one. A dress that I intend to make for a different reason entirely. 
   
6. Vampire Knight - Yuuki. This one was already known and is a given. This will be completed soon for the ball.
7. Ouran - Either make a random girl's uniform which I have the fabric for (or I was going to cosplay girl!Haruhi) as well as make a boy's uniform for Hunni.
8. Full Moon wo Sagashite - chunhyang still want to make this cosplay duo with you. Mitsuki and Full Moon.
9. Romeo and Juliet - still tossing up which outfit I want from this series. There's two...I'll narrow it down later.
10. Erementar Gerad - I'm tossing up between two characters here as well. I have the fabric to make Cisqua. I'm also eye-ing Ren's dress because I've had this want for it since I saw the series. Let's see how this one pans out too.

So those are 10 out of the however many cosplays I want to do. 10 different series and 10 little goals for me for the next few months. Shall document as I go and see how far I get. Yes? :3 No reference pics because I don't need to show you guys exactly which outfit for each character I'm doing. There's at least some kind of element of surprise.

I have quite a few others lined up which I intend on doing but they'll be announced as I do it, methinks. Much love.

This journal is a bit redundant at the moment as I want to keep this year's waicon projects secret.

However there will be a few tutorials posted here as well as progress by progress shots of what I'm making and such.

But expect huge updates after waicon on "progress" and such. :3

All posts are friends locked because I like to keep track of who sees my progress posts but tutorials will be cross posted to dA anyway.

So here it is, in all its glory. The May costume that we all worked so hard on.

It is a costume made entirely by ElixirPlease.

It was a lot of fun to make. The anchor was made entirely out of fibreglass and wrapped with some random white material my mum gave me. It was quite heavy, after a day of hefting it on and off my shoulder for photos and the stage I have a really ouchy shoulder but no bruise so I was quite lucky. The anchor took a few weeks to make. It was a rush job and I'm not entirely happy with it but it was my first time working with fibreglass so I guess that would be defined as a success.

I have to thank twinkl33 and yiji_chan for helping out with the costume when the two of us began falling behind. We wouldn't have been able to make it without those two.

But also because I love these three girls so very much that they're helping my dream come true. ♥ ♥

The logo on that pic is the temp one that we have. There is a new one being designed so until then I'm going to keep stamping this one. =3

cielrose : fabrics
twinl33: skull, wig, belt
yiji_chan: shoe help (new logo TBA)
nekomiao: model, anchor prop and buckles
ebonvarli: photography

Made for the fluffy fluffy luvly twinkl33

So =D

Tis what I been working on, yush.

I actually finished him quite a while ago but didn't manage to get pictures of him until now.

He's on my deviantART!

XD

So go have a look at and maybe comment on Tim. He belongs to yiji_chan now.

There will be some guest stars and people who we are collaborating with so stay tuned for them as well. =3

But for EP, this is our lineup and it doesn't matter how many costumes we commission or help people with, we put the majority of our effort into our own as we would need these costumes and props for our portfolios in a few years.

Goal: WAAPA

Until then. Here we go.

Happy. That's another project down and I can focus on some other things.

Comments about my views on the weapon are all there as well.

X-posted to my regular journal this time because this one prop took a LOT out of me.

Aerith Guard Staff Version 2.

dA scraps

Incomplete. Only finished the vinyl covering for the grip, the middle two ornaments and the second set of ornamental rings.

To do: Fill the rings, glue it all together.
