Frostbite 2015

Desucon Frostbite was great! It was a long drive to the convention, almost seven hours which went suprisingly quickly. Friday was mostly showing around places to L and introducing my friends, also charging phones and hanging out at McDonalds laughing our asses off... Saturday was the most eventful day, watching the panel about neoshonen genre, shooting our cosplays, watching the cosplay competition, switching cosplays and partying! Sunday was a more relaxing day doing some last shopping and watching the amv competition and then starting our long drive back home, all in all a great time well spent!

Me and L had two small group cosplays, first we had Kuroshitsuji II where we were Alois and Ciel joined by our classmate R who cosplayed as Grell. And our evening outfits were from Me!Me!Me! I was the pink haired girl, L was the blue haired girl and my friend J as the boy! Both awesome groups and had a ton of fun photoshooting and spending time together!

This was L's first convention, first cosplays she made and seems to be thrilled as much as I am about cosplaying! Even on our way home we were throwing ideas about competing! This might become one exciting cosplay year!

 Some selfies!

WC Week Miqo'te

Another Monday, a new character at WorldCosplay! Still going on with Final Fantasy and this time it is XIV with the kitty Miqo'te!

The costume was a bit of a pain to make and first time wearing such a exposing cosplay! But at that time I think I was pretty comfortable with my body . The only thing I didn't like was my wig which was not the one I had planned to wear but that's what I had to roll with.

Cosvision was where I wore it and the convention was such a blast that I haven't felt in a long time! You can read about that in the other Miqo'te post.

Since this weekend is Frostbite, Miqo'te week might extend to two weeks instead of one. There will still probably be a blogpost on Monday about the convention!

WC Week Rinoa

Now the Final Fantasy girls are coming up, I've actually done Sephiroth, Cloud, Aerith and Tifa was it in 2009 maybe but I won't be showing any of those pictures! They were one of the first cosplays I made.

I like Rinoa a lot and I'm redoing her outfit. I could get that quite quickly done but photoshooting it in the middle of winter doesn't sound like it would look good. And I really do hope I could lose some weight and look better in it!

And at last year cosplay ball I had made her ballroom dress! I also had it on at a Distant Worlds Final Fantasy concert and meeting Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth! That was awesome!!!

I'll start posting this week pictures of Rinoa on WorldCosplay, I hope you are following!

WC Week Ruiko

This week on WorldCosplay, Zone-00 continues with the witch of the North, Ruiko!

It was a cozy cosplay in winter, that I really liked! The cape was pretty heavy... I've actually thrown it away because I never used it again but now I really regret it... So I might make it again but then again the character is a little girl and that doesn't really fit me... Soon it's been two years since I made this cosplay for Frostbite 2013, how time flies!

Well Frostbite 2015 is coming fast... ARGH I just remembered that I forgot to buy the buttons for the vest... But the jacket is almost done!!!

WC Week Bishamon

Tomorrow on WorldCosplay, I'll start posting pictures of my Bishamon cosplay from Zone-00!
In this blog there are links to older blogposts but I suggest to read this one before reading the older ones.

It was a disaster hahaha, I don't remember much when I was sewing it but I do remember making the shoes and the pearls on the glasses. But the disaster was at the convention, it was the first time I was binding my chest with sports tape and that was a big mistake... My skin didn't like it all and it left pretty ugly scars and it took a while to heal as well. But I did have fun with our group Benio cosplayer, sadly our Benten was cosplaying the next day when I had to leave.

Now a bit of Frostbite progress... Alois pants are done, as well as Ciel's. My vest only needs buttons and the stripes, so the biggest parts that need to be done are the jacket and shoes. But I'm happy with the progress so far. My friend Ciel is also starting to look good!
