Gakuen Basara Shoot

Yeah me (Ieyasu), riko (Yukimura), lotwen (Oichi), Lapini (Sasuke), Fich (Kasuga) and photographer aidu went photoshooting yesterday, it was fun! I think we were mostly goofing around but oh well :'D FROM THE REAR !!!

Upcoming cons and possible cosplays 2012

As the title says, so I'll try to list them in order.

Tampere Kuplii / Kirsikkakukkacon
These are two different events but I'm not even sure if I'll go to them, if I'd get my Zora armor ready I'd think I'll go and compete at TreKuplii. Otherwise I won't go, it also depends if I can get a ride there :P

Desucon / Animecon
Animecon is a no go, it's just too far away this time and I'm not interested!
Desucon I was thinking of not cosplaying and just going to the artist alley to sell my stuff but this depends if I don't join some awesome cosplay group or have a partner or something...

Tracon
Is probably the last con if there isn't any small event like Cosplay Gaala.
It would be cool to go and compete in the Ventus Armor at this con but it all depends on the cosplay if I can get it to work :'D

Other random cosplays and one in the making is Luka Megurine (KISS version) which I'd love to find a Gakupo for a partner... But mostly I'm making it as something I can wear "casually" to a con or at the evening parties. And I'd love to cosplay some more girls... like Rinoa Heartilly, Tifa Lockheart or one of the Kingdom Hearts girls...

We'll see how long the money will last :''DD

Chibicon Riku Shoot

Title says it all...

And that's it!

Chibicon Afterward

I actually I had fun this time! It wasn't the usual boring con! I'm starting to wonder, is it because it was such a small con? Or was I just hanging with the right group at the right time?

I've got many friends and so I split them into groups like for exaple the Hetalia friend, which I don't really even hang out with anymore :P

So thank you for the company: Chiruka, Sona and Seibai whom I think I hanged out most with, but I want to thank also all my old and new friends for the great con!

So yes, I was competeing in the cosplay competition and two other friends too, Seibai and Thalion. I was so scared entering alone so I was really excited when I was able to convince Thalion to enter the competition too!
That morning when I put my whole costume on I was soooo dissapointed! It just looked horrible not only that but I was also almost late for advance registration(? Finnish: ennakkoilmoittautuminen) at the con but luckily I made it after running like hell!

And guess what? I got mark/medal of honor for the prop! I was sooo sure that I wouldn't win anything so it was a really awesome suprise! My first competition and my first medal! Now my friends will have a higher expectetion from me xDD I do believe that I only got the prize because I was pertty much the only one with an advanced prop :P

Here is what I got! A medal, a bag, some weird yan yan (is not in the pic for some odd reason xD), a pin which is saying in Finnish "Call me sensei" xD,Naruto training cards...and that's about it the pappers are my competeing number and then a papper saying that I've been competeing which everybody got :3

 

 

Oh and also here is the bag I got for the Cosplay Gaala Välähdys with our LHC, it's saying in Finnish "Cosplay without pain is a sham" or this is what the google translator told me xD

Riku 3D: Wigs and other progress

The two new wigs are finally in my hands, muahahahaha... So smart of me to order two different wigs!
So here are the 3 wigs that I bought for Riku, the first one and the two new ones! Defenitly big difference with the two silver/gray ones! The purple one is a bit too dark so that one I'll have to sell if I don't come up with a character which I can use it.

So this silver white wig is the chosen one for Riku!!! Shots from the side and back of the wig!
I expected it to be shorter at the back, so this means more work for me PLUS the have added some kind of gel which has a REEEEEAAAALLY manly smell :''DD So I'll have to wash it :P

Then the keyblade progress...
I don't know, I'm not satisfied with it, down you can see pictures of the progress the keyblade, apperantly I had taken pictures without a memory card so I can't show the whole process :(  but what I really want to do is add clay/plaster/gypsum (in Finnish: kipsiä) to smoothen and make it more even.
The problem is that the convention is this Saturday and I have still a lot to do and no time at all so if I'd do "kipsiä" on it and it would  fail, I'd be in big trouble. So hell, it will be ugly but atleast it's done.
I'll still probably will try with "kipsiä" in the future once I have gotten some decent pictuters of it but right now I'm not taking the risk...

 

The only thing that needs to be done is paint the handle and then make the keychain part WHICH I really hope that it would go easily and fast!!! I HOPE!!!

Oh and the pants... Well almost done... And the hopefully the belt would be done easily and fast too ^^;;
