lawl. that would be fun. although, if someone was sora, HOW MUCH HAIR GEL WOULD SOMEONE USE

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

A lot. What about just Organization XIII members? xD

If we did KH, who would you want to be?

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Mon Dec 29, 2008 10:44 pm

uhhhhhh

I DUNNO. XD

Ok, you're Goofy then. =P j/k
I've wanted to do KH cosplay since I was like, 13. Woooo...

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Wed Dec 31, 2008 2:54 pm

I'd probably be Kairi or something. XD

Although, I'd like to be Roxas for some reason. The Organization XIII robed Roxas. XD

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

Roxas is awesome, I could see you as Kairi too.

I'll be anyone, I'm just happy to have someone to cosplay with really. =]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, I found these pictures of someone (with the same wig I have) trying to do Roxas, and it looks okay.

But there is a problem, mine is white~

Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Scruffy-white-front

Is there a way I could dye it Roxas's color? Since we're not doing DN, I don't mind at all.

I found this article: http://www.wikihow.com/Dye-a-Wig-Using-Acrylic-Paint

So if I go by this picture:

Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Roxas

Maybe like this Roxas's wig?

Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Bilder014

I could buy some sort of yellow acrylic paint and dye the wig?

So one of us could be Roxas if all of the above worked out. ^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Organization XIII costumes are really expensive, though. I checked Ebay and found a bunch but they're all around $100 and up...*sigh*

Holy cowwwwwwwwwwwwww. Maybe it could go on my list. My resolution is to make 3 costumes this year and there's an open space for the 3rd. and it would be kinda like Kaito only longer...

Heywaitwe'renot? o_o

If we go to the mall, I'm going as L anyways. 8D

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

I thought you said you'd get in trouble if we did DN cosplay, that's all. =]
I'll make the same resolution, then. I've decided to make a coat instead of buying one, so I'll post everything I've found here!

I'd want giant zippers on mine, so here's a site:

What fabric should be used, though. Leather's expensive and difficult to sew...

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Fri Jan 02, 2009 9:25 am

As for the white wig issue, there are a few characters with white hair. But you likely knew that. X3

Quoted from first site (Cosplay.com):

"Fabric
Notes: Coat fabric can be chosen to preference depending on whether one is following the game renders or the movie sequences. ^.^ Fabric should at least resemble light denim in thickness to give the correct drape and a good life span. Approximately 5 yards seems to be the recommended allotment. As far as sewing ease, all of the following fabrics have been tested and found to be easy enough to work with. ^.^

SY Fabrics Vinyl - 5.50$usd per yard. Looks just like matte leather, has a two-way stretch, durable thickness, and gives the appearance of Roxas' coat in Deep Dive.
Stretch Pleather - 8.00$usd per yard. Looks just like leather and has good flow, plus stretch. Also similar to the coats in Deep Dive.
Twill/Bottomweight Cotton - ~6$usd per yard. Available at most fabric stores. Can be purchased as stretchy or non, but is thick enough to use effectively. Similar to game-renders.
Suede - ~10$usd per yard. Available at most fabric stores. Also can be found in stretchy or non. Would be a nicer alternative to Twill/Bottomweight Cotton, and gives the exact appearance of the in-game renders.
Moleskin - ~5$usd per yard. Available at most fabric stores, and is very similar to suede but is a little thinner. This makes it somewhat easier to work with (though be careful, as its slippery), but also more prone to more wrinkles when worn (and thus lining is recommended.) "

Yeah I pretty much live in a KH world, so this is exciting. ^.^
My wig is really short so it wouldn't work for Riku or Ansem. >.< It's supposed to be worn as is and not spiked up, cuz you can see the netting underneath so that sucks...

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Fri Jan 02, 2009 5:08 pm

If you like, smoothed it down, it looks like it COULD work as Riku. And you could wear a funky black blindfold. WHEEHEE I'M BLIND.

And what about Zexion? XD

I'd likely just dye my hair pink and grow it out again. MARLUXIA, PHEAR

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

That wig head is actually really small, unfortunately. X[ The wig is extremely short...

I bought some yellow acrylic paint earlier this evening so I will try dying it tomorrow. =D

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Sat Jan 03, 2009 4:11 pm

Ahaha.

if I dyed mine and messed with the bangs it might look larxene-ish, but I'd rather be Marluxia as he has an epic scythe. =D

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

That would be cool, Marluxia>Larxene for sure. =]

Turns out my wig is not even thick enough to spike, so Idk what to do... I'll have to get a whole new wig if I want to do anyone other than Near! X[

I found a Roxas wig tutorial:

http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=97834

That wig is expensive though...

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Sat Jan 03, 2009 7:56 pm

Feh. I kinda want a pink one anyways, but maybe the hair part should come after the costume itself, since the robes are kinda elaborate.

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

Okay, that's a good idea. Thanks! I'll just focus on getting the robe thingy done right now- even though the wigs are the most fun part... =]

So have you started yet?
Picked out the fabric?

It would be cool to use the same fabric as you, we'd match better

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Sun Jan 04, 2009 12:49 pm

... no >.>

First, I need my grandma to give me a tutorial on how to sew stuff. X3

THEN all that. XD

and I probably need to measure myself again. cuz the most recent are likely a bit inaccurate.

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

I have a lot to do too xD This could take a really long time, but we have a while for the con so don't worry about that.
I talked to my mom about it and she said she'd take me to the Charlotte one, and of course I'm not going without you! ^.^ I think it's in May.

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:12 pm

That gives me four months to talk my mom into it.

oh, joy.

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

Oh, your mom wouldn't let you go?

What if Jordan came along?

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Mon Jan 05, 2009 2:06 pm

She said she has to research it.

BUT I GOT A MAYBE!!! =D

And there might be even more chance if he came.

Wait, which con is it? Animazement?

Admin Posts : 817 Join date : 2008-03-02 Age : 31

Animazement is in Raleigh, I checked the calendar and it's called ConCarolinas in Charlotte. ^_^

We'll get Jordan to come then, cuz I'm not going without you! X[

Subject: Re: Oh. My. Goodness. [KH Cosplay] Mon Jan 05, 2009 3:24 pm

Ahahahahahahaha. YESSSSSSSS.

Yeah, from videos, it looks like it's about the same maturity level you need to sit where I do at lunch.

I'm forced to, k?
