Adiane in progress 

I finally started planning on my Adiane cosplay. I'm having a brief ''summer'' holiday so i can have all the time I want to sew my outfit: S... I really wanted to go Tokyo on this holiday, because I have always wanted to see hanami, meaning to go see the cherry blossoms blooming. But my work blew up my plans. Anyways heres my Adiane update.

In my opinion makeup is very important part of the cosplay. I don't want to be one of those with great costume and props, but zero effort put on the face. The makeup has to be strong to bring out the features of the character and be flash proof! Adianes makeup is quite easy, all the attention goes to her lips, grimson red eyes and well..body tattoos. Kind of sucks i have to wear eye patch  again, you get used to it but it's just not my thing.

    

Here's photo of lipstick i bought it's Maybeline, pleasure me red. Hahhaaa I never worn red lipstick before, looks like i stole it from mom.

Okey enough about the makeup.  I decided to make the scorpion tail from the lightest material possible. I wanted to make them from polystyrene balls, but guess do they sell it here middle of nowhere and even ebay seller refused to send those here. So i'm making them from air balloons:) I know it will start to loose air at some point, so i glued million layers of newspaper. I hope this tail will made it to desucon 

 Here's the almost finished tail. The surface has lots of bumps, but i'm going to but another layer of paint if it will help. Overall it looks good, if you don't look too close

I also started work on my outfit too. The pattern is from normal yukata, it's supeeer easy to make. In all it took 45min to cut and sew the dark outfit below. The fabric is satin mixed cotton wich i really like, in all it cost 27€ from Eurokangas. 

 

As you can see it's quite short. I thought i measure it right but I guess I've worn too many miniskirts,  That I unconsciously cut it miniskirt: S 

More update coming later with more specific photos: )

New plans and Yoko's sniper

I was originally supposed to do a Final fantasy 9 Lani for next summer Desucon, but my friends are doing Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann group cosplay, and of course I wanted to join!: D..Maybe I'll do my Lani for Animecon..Anyways I'm ashamed to admit I had never heard from Gurren Lagann;___; even though I love series like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gundamm Seed, Transformers. Well I was checking who from the series I should cosplay and of course i chose the badass Adiane. There is still so much time till the con so i won't start sewing my outfit yet, because I'll probably finish it off in a week, but I might have  some problems with that tail of Adianes! Anyways I decided to make the sniper of Yoko to my friend, who's cosplaying her, because I already got the gun from Misato cosplay: )

Adinane's outfit looks almost like kimono with corset, so should be easy to make. I really like those tattoos of hers! On right you can see what Yoko's gun should look like.

 My budget for the prop 0€ it's totally made from stuff I found from the house, mainly it's from cardboard 

 The yellow black part of the gun is made of?? cardboard photograph box xD

 i covered the bumps with masking tape, worked okey

 The overal lenght is 144cm like it's supposed to be almost high of Yokos itself 

And here it is! It's not totally identical but i can still make some changes, in all I like how this looks, I varnished it just to make the it shine, I like the fake screw details most. 

Hancock outfit update plus rainy day sewing

Lately I've been working on my Boa Hancock (from onepiece) outfit again, I simply love this character and the outfit has details that i love, brings up challenge little bit: D I wore this outfit last years tracon Finland, and I'm planning to wear it at this years http://desucon.fi/desucon/ with little updates though.

So here's the Hancock I wore last tracon, this was my first Onepiece outfit, I was encouraged by my friends who were also doing Onepiece cosplay. Also end up meeting pretty awesome onepiece cosplaeyers: D  

So here's the changes, I end up doing new earrings. The new ones are made from cernit mass they were hardened in in owen so they sure will last although, they are pretty heavy to wear, but I'll get used to it. In the photo you can also see new sleeves and also the skirt is more open, like its supposed to! 

Next Desucon I'm also hoping to take some pretty sweet photos with my beloved Luffy. Problem is that I yet don't have the Luffy to take photos with, I might end up asking random Luffys to take photos with me, whoever will it be I've already sewed a captains jacket for him to wear! Anybody who wears this will have super manly shoulders, theres even 80's style topping underneath those shoulder decoration. And believe it or not this is a former evening gown from local flea market, freaky isn't it.

This is what boredom creates 

 

The only golden color I had was golden spray, it really din't work for the fabric: S

Here's together photo from last year thanks to Emily a.k.a Luffy

I was also considering making this Hancocks special version outfit, but I guess people don't recognise  this version: S

Coming up, starting to plan my Final Fantasy Lani for the second day at Desucon

Day as Misato

So last weekend I went Chibicon for the first time, this was very small cosplay event held at Gloria, Helsinki. Usually I ask and take photos of others costumes but, here there wasn't enough space or cosplayers: S Although we find a nice spot to take photos of Misato, thankyou for these amazing photos and editing by Miki Toikkanen 

 This is my favourite picture, tho the floor looks nastyxD

I really should have taken those Yebisu cans with me

 Like I thought the wig really shines at flash 

 Yes, i know it should have been 9mm gun

Here's how the wig looks in daylight...almost electric blue... 

In all i'm quite pleased with this outfit, I just wish this had been a lot more bigger event, I'm really looking forward to summers Desucon, tracon and actual animecon aaaand if I arrange my summer holiday at right spot, maybe going to world cosplay summit in Nagoya: D

I'll be posting my future cosplay plans and tell little bit what I've already cosplayed 

Upcoming Chibicon  

So it's decided, I will be going to http://www.chibicon.fi/ wich is a relief because I had this Misato Katsuragi outfit laying in my closet, wich i never had opportunity to wear, because the wig arrived too late to previous con: S This outfit is 99% done, I still need to do the cross jewel and the golden plates on the sleeves

  

 I will be cosplaying Misato Katsuragi from Neon Genesis Evangelion 

 It's 99% done but I still have two weeks to finish it off

This military beret is bought from Ebay uk, the golden plate is made from cernit mass

And the best part about Misato is, she always carries a gun with her, she is usually seen with 9mm gun, think the bigger the better, this AK 47 from Toy'r'us 

This is very unflattering photo of the wig,  it's good quality wig, but the color is brighter i wanted

So welcome to my blog^^ the reason i founded this blog, is because I got so inspired by reading others blogs, and really wanted have my own one too, plus I was posting too much photo albums on my Fb account: S So I will be writing about cosplay, fashion, and things important in my life right now^^
