Brainstorming 'n stuff..

Lately I've been really thinking about what other costumes I want to bring to Fanime, aside from Mercedes and Agitha.

Right now I am thinking...Leafeon is a DEFINITE possibility (seeing as I have all the material I need for the outfit) and now I'm thinking of cosplaying the Poe Merchant from LoZ: Ocarina of Time!

I bought some brown stretchy, brown fabric that was on sale today for $4! I also bought a zipper I needed for like $0.97. Pretty good deals. ^~^; I plan on making my gloves for Agitha with the brown fabric. I just need to learn HOW to make gloves first. I'm a little nervous but I'd rather make them than pay like $15 bucks for gloves that I'd have to alter anyway! -_-; Now that I have fabric I can make some and have enough for my Leafeon cosplay too. I plan on making the hand-paws and feet-paws with them. It'll be cute----I hope! XD

Princess Agitha Prog - 30%


Another update! Some of my group members already saw this but I figured I'd update all who follow me. ^-^


P.S. This is NOT the wig I will be using. My wig is on its way. Apparently they had to prepare it so it took...20 days and now it's suppose to take like 7-20 just to get to me! Most people said the shipping is fast though O.O; We'll see.

Working on Agitha.


I have some work done. Still need a glue gun to work on smaller detailing. w00t. Here's a pic I guess!


I feel...tired.

I've been sleeping in too much! Arg. Anyway! Not a lot happened today... Yaaaay.. ;/

I redesigned my other blog's layout! I really like it and kind of wish it was my cosplay one but whatever. xD It's my more personal/real life blog and it will stay that way. I don't want to blog about life stuff here so I'll stop.

Here's a video I made today:



P.S. My other BLOG! D: If you were curious and didn't know..........

My hard drive may have fried, but not the memories.

So my hard drive FRIED...or something like that. I kept it in its case while using it (External hard drive, mind you...) and apparently I wasn't suppose to but I thought I was...so the stupid thing over heated and died.

u__u I was in the middle of a project too! It said something about an error..and a crash and I restarted the computer. Luckily the laptop I'm on is fine, it was just my external HD that died... :[

I won't be working on any cosplay today, I don't think. I just want to play more Spirit Tracks (Yep! I finally have the game in my possession...). It's such a fun game. I love Zelda.

Video:

I R SHEIK.


That's my name, don't wear it out!

Okay. So maybe only to my close friends in "rl" and online
am I known as Sheik but whatever! That's all that matters
to me!

SoOOoOOooo.....we all know this, now why am I telling you?
BECAUSE.

I haven't actually COSPLAYED her! (Yes, I see Sheik as a female because she is Zelda..oops..spoiler..Seriously though, if you haven't beaten OOT you're like..fail :[)

Anyway.
Most of you know I cosplayed my own version of a dark sheik. (before I even knew of the SSBBrawl version...)


But now I've realised... I NEED to do the original version:
(Okay, I know this is a chibi drawing but it was too cute to pass up!)

I am going to set a goal to finish this costume by the end of the year. The only reason why it might take a while is because I might not have the money for the body suit. They tend to cost around $30-50...so we'll see!

^___________^ Can't wait!

My NEW url..

Okay, so I attempted at changing my url..but it messed up all the links for everyone. T___T

I changed it back though. Sorry for the inconvenience.... (.__.); I think I'll make another blog later or something. I don't know, I just wanted to have another url....!!

Sheik is Not Home YET.

That's right. If you aren't subscribed to my other personal blog (strawberiistarz.blogspot.com) then you may think I am back home. I'm not. It's kind of a long story, so read the latest post in my other blog.

I will be back though I think on April 7th. Going to buy a TRAIN ticket today.
The train is fun, and cool...and yeah..

No cosplay stuff, really. I've just been preoccupied but I want to work on some things!
I need to bring out the sewing machine again. I just haven't been in the cosplay-mood.
(.__.); I do miss home, but I enjoy being with Robby so much!

Rawr. Sucks.

2 months & 5 days left until
FANIMECON!!!

Psypher stuff!

Alright, so the pieces for my psypher are all cut out but nothing is put together. Robby and I figured it would be much easier if I just took them back and then glued everything together whenever I got home. Unfortunately it was taking a little longer than he thought to fix together all the LED stuff so he's sending that part to me in the mail when he finishes it. We had lots of fun and didn't get as much cosplay done as we said we would but whatever...there's still some time!


I'll be going home tomorrow. I'm anxious about it but I'm sad because I have to leave Robby... (._____.) I have an ugly feeling inside just thinking of how I can't wake up and see his handsome face every morning. I'll miss him...but I know once we're both not busy again we will be together.. I know we can get married and then just be together but I don't want to do that. I can't even afford a wedding, so what makes me think I can handle a marriage? No job. No nothin'! I need money...rawr. I should put this in my personal blog. T___T Sorry. I'll stop now.


Ja ne.

Blegh.. T___T

Sick and tired today. Basically the bad time of the month for me. -groans- Ah well, tomorrow I will feel better. I'll be going to the Zoo and this museum right by it! O.O; Yay.


No cosplay progress really...sorry T-T Last few days here will be busy but I think on Wednesday we'll work on my psypher... I hope so anyway. I leave on Friday. :[

Holding My First Cosplay Panel. Wow.

Okay, so I'm not really sure if I ever made this official on here but it IS official that I will be a guest at the upcoming "Ani-Vent" a convention that will be held this July in Fresno, CA. I have been asked to be one of the guest and hold my own Cosplay Panel!!!! I got SUPER excited when I was asked and totally accepted the offer! It would be pretty stupid if I didn't, duh!!!

I also have been asked to be a judge at the masquerade so I'm just like...really overwhelmed. It's not even like a HUGE con but it's still a con and more people go to these Fresno conventions because there really isn't anything else in this lame valley I reside in. Ah! Oh I also asked if I could have my own table in the Artist Alley and they said sure! So I will be selling some cosplay accessories and other things there ^~^ Yay for making money, right?

Aside from thaaaat, and my apologies if I already bragged about this. I don't MEAN to brag...I am just so excited and can't believe people would want me to be a guest XP. I guess I just put myself out there a lot and am very social ^~^!

Cosplay Progress, you say?
Nothing really, I've been busy and not near the sewing machine a lot lately. :( Tomorrow I'm going to see Catz again at the park. Might do BBQ or something....dunno, we'll see! Oh and Oerba Dia Vanille looks sooo tempting to add to my cosplay list. She's adorable. I'd like to play the game first :)



....Hmm? Love you say..?

I love my fiance. He's so handsome. I love to look at him.
It's been really nice spending so much time with him now
that he isn't in the navy. He treats me with so much love and respect.
I often feel I don't deserve him, but sometimes I do...
because I love him so much and have been so faithful.

Ah...that really has nothing to do with cosplay and I suppose I should write that
in my other blog but whatever! I do what I want.

He has helped me with my cosplay and supports the hobby I love most.
I'm so lucky *~* I hope he soon begins to cosplay with me too.

THAT would be freakin' hardcore on a stick.

Indeed I say, indeed.




P.S.
Tomorrow I finish my secret cosplay. I started on it yesterday, worked on it
some today. Tomorrow I will finish all I can sew and POSSIBLY post a photo.
Hehehehe. This will be fun. ^~^; I just wish I had the socks, shoes and wig
she wears (well not wig but her hair). That's all at home in CA.
K. I think I'm done.

kthnxbai.

Amber!

I can't click on your blog, for some reason it takes me to another site...even when I click on certain blog posts! :( It's like hacked or something....Did you put something weird on your page?

Just wanted to let you know but I couldn't get to your page to leave a comment...so yeah, You got your own blog post!

More Food on my Cosplay Plate?


I know, I know...I have a lot on my plate right? Wrong. D: There's still a third day that I'd like to have a cosplay for..or I could wear one twice but I like having a new one for everyday! I'm thinking I could still possibly make my Pokemon Gijinka cosplay, like some of my friends plan on doing. At least, I think they're still doing...

There's also another character I might cosplay as because Robby's mom gave me some fabric that I could possibly use. ;D! I haven't told anyone about this nor have I given much hint towards it so we'll see.

On ANOTHER note I have a green wig now so I'm thinking I could totally do a Saria cosplay! ^~^ All I would need to make is like a vest-ish top, shorts and then wear a dark green sweater underneath and add like a green boot cover to some cheap boots. My wig might not be THAT accurate but a lot of girls have done different tones of green because its dark in the artwork and like a brighter green in the actual game.

For Leafeon...I could either copy the exact design from the artwork I've chosen or just kind of do my own thing because Pokemon Gijinka is just a human form of Pokemon so you can do your own thing really! :3

But yah...I'z crazy, I know... but I can't help making more cosplays!!!lol




3-4-10 Progress Photos!






I got some work done today:
-Finished the other pleated sleeve for Mercedes.
-Cut and sewed the obi/wrap for Agitha.
-Cut out the dark gray detailing for Agitha.
-Sewed up some areas that were just pinned on Agitha's dress top.

^~^! So yeah, more work tomorrow if we don't go anywhere.

Sew, sew, sew..

Did more sewing and worked on my psypher today! Got the top 4 triangles done for the diamond-like object...and tomorrow we'll probably work on it some more. I do plan on taking some pictures tomorrow of what progress I have done so I will show you then.


Till then..I'm SUPER excited for Fanime. I can't believe we have like 2 months & 24 days left! Our Odin Sphere group is going to be so amazing. I'm so happy! D: We'll have...

-Gwendolyn
-Velvet
-Queen Elfaria
-Mercedes
-Ingway
-Alice
-NPC's....(People who sell you things...)xD

Oh and.........Robby helped me buy the wig. OH MY GOSH. He's too sweet, seriously? He helped me with my prop AND helped me afford the wig? @_@;;; Definitely a keeper....ughh I love him so much, he supports my most loved hobby ever.. !!

Started on sewing Mercedes stuff~!!

Here's a video ^~^!

I MUST have this WIG!!


















Soooo I really, REALLY want this. I plan on earning some money after I sell a wig or two so
hopefully I'm able to afford this beauty! ^~^ I think it will really fit for my Princess Agitha one so....I hope I can get it O_O

Maybe I can ask for it for my birthday or something next month, if I'm still jobless..if I'm not, that would be awesome xD

I do plan on making more accessories and such to sell though so let's just hope I can GET THIS WIG because I want my Agitha cosplay to look really good T-T
