Cosplay Plans o' Doom!There's lots of Bro in here!

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 28, 2009, 2:10 PM


Okay, basically this is just an update list for some cosplays I wanna do for PCC '10 next May, or whenever...XD...I do plan to make most, if not all of them, save for maybe Kaoru from Host Club, but we'll see. Also, I personally want these cosplays to actually look good and accurate and beautiful, like a lot of people's on dA that I admire so much! Most of the cosplays I've done have really been closet cosplays, and I want these to be awesome and...non-closet...XD

We're off!

1. Kenshin Himura from Rurouni Kenshin-The funny thing about Ken-chan is that he's 5'2", which is, like, 4 inches shorter than I am. XD But I love his character and his personality, so I really want to make a cosplay for him since I don't really need to change how I act much.

I want to make his original red (no pink for me, thank you!) keikogi with the kimono-style sleeves (with the white underneath) and his white hakama pants...the thing is, I've heard that making hakama pants is pretty difficult for a budding seamstress, so if anyone out there has any pointers on that, it would be most appreciated. I also want to buy a model of his Sakabatou (reversed-blade sword)to wear and a wig like his so I can style it-the wigs I've seen online simply don't cut it, so if anyone has any points on styling wigs as well I'd be happy. ^^ I also need to get my hands on some red tagi (the traditional Japanese sock) and a pair of zori sandals...and the scar shouldn't be hard to replicate on my face, so...

2. Deidara from Naruto: Shippuden- Lemme just say that I'm a Dei-chan fangirl, hands down, and overall it doesn't seem like a difficult cosplay since :iconroseanima: is going to let me borrow her Akatsuki coat for the occasion. All I really need is my hair a little longer and blonder, some clay birds and spiders, the Akatsuki shoes, a black mesh shirt, the headband he wears, and the scope he has on his left eye...I really want that to be a part of it all...and I can easily draw/paint the mouths on my hands. It seems complicated in writing, but to me it really isn't. ^^

3. InuYasha from (obviously) InuYasha- I love InuYasha so much because of his smart-ass attitude with a gentle streak that I adore...and his ears are fuzzy...XD I want to make this cosplay, which might be a little easier or harder than Kenshin's because of Inu's poofy pants and his longer kimono-style sleeves with lacings at the hem (anybody have any ideas for the poofy pants of doom? XD). I would also have to acquire a wig that is as long as his, which would probably be very pricey, depending on its quality, and I would need a pair of doggie ears, which isn't that hard to find nowadays. I'm tempted to make some fake canine fangs or something, but that's totally up to me, and I need to find, like a wooden model of Tetsusaiga and some fake claws. This one seems a little more complex than Kenshin's, actually....

4. Death the Kid from Soul Eater: Kiddo is one of my favorite characters from SE, and the cosplay for him is almost already complete; I just need to find some longer black slacks, better black shoes, buy a wig (premade or not), buy some lil' kids' guns and paint over them to get the affect of his, or maybe just find a Liz and Patty (:icondisturbinggoose: was planning on being Patty). The coat, rings, and skull pin, the most essential parts to this cosplay, are already complete, so I basically have my work cut out for me.

5. Jenova's Witness Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children- Okay, so this one is more so a joke, so don't be offended, people out there. This just occured after :icondisturbinggoose: had a run-in with a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses right next to an anime con. Someone wrote a little sign saying "Jenova's Witnesses", so that's where the concept of the cosplay came from. It consists of me, :icondisturbinggoose: as Yazoo, and :iconsweetskye17: as Loz dressing up in short-sleeved white collared shirts, Lifestream green ties, black slacks and Doc Martens(those are the style of boots they wear in the movie-the yellow threads give it away!). We plan to carry light-up bouncy balls or something to be materia, and it really should be fun! I do need to buy a Daj-daj wig and maybe his Souba or something so people know what we're up to...^^...

6. Kaoru from Ouran High School Host Club- Together with my twin :icondisturbinggoose:, we will welcome poor men and women into a place of beauty! XD But anyways, I'll probably just buy this cosplay since they really need to look alike, and I'll need a wig to seal the deal...there's really nothing much to say on this one. It's pretty much set in stone. ^^

7. Genesis Rhapsodos from Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core- I've yet to play this game 'cause I do not own a PSP (T_T), but I know the plotline and I've been thinking on cosplaying Gen-chan for quite a while, since he's such a complex character and I lurves complex characters. :3 I'm still debating whether to buy this cosplay or make it, knowing that either way it would be rather pricey. I'll still think on it, though, knowing that this cosplay's just a thought and might not happen for a while. But, eventually, it will happen. ^^

8. Abel Nightroad from Trinity Blood- After seeing a few episodes of the anime a year or less back, and knowing that I'm going to receive the anime series for Christmas this year, I want to cosplay Abel. He's very kawaii and awesome, and he's another character I really don't have to pretend to act like. (just ask :icondisturbinggoose:) If I cosplay him, I'd just wear his priestly garb for starters since it seems to have a pretty simple make-up, meaning that I could essentially make it without a lot of hardships...the cape doesn't look too hard, either, and I can easily make those buckles out of clay, wood or shiny gold fabric.
I would attempt at finding glasses like his, but if I don't, I'll just have to improvise with my own glasses, which, unlike his round frames, are rectangular, but it's not like people are gonna look for THAT detail...the boots would have to be custom-made, but they look pretty similar to Organiztion XIII's boots (from Kingdom Hearts II), so if I wanted to cosplay one of the members (probably Demyx) I could use the boots for that as well. The wig shouldn't be hard to find, and not a lot of styling done, either, so that's a plus. ^^
I'm tempted to go out and try his Crusnik form as well, but that might just take up too much time and I'm really not good at looking imposing...XD...so I'll probably stick with him...

So, yeah, that's all I have for now! Catch ya later! X3
