Did you receive the wig yet? I will be working on N's outfit over the next few weeks soon

Sigh...no it's still not here yet.

D: Do you have the link for the wig? I'm wondering if it says how long it takes to ship it. Did you get normal or expedited?

No I already deleted the reciept eBay sent me. Shipping was free so I just chose regular....Imma be so mad if I got scammed! But I'll give it a little longer. I ordered two wigs from them so I hope they get here....

One of my cosplays is Dawn. I even have myself a Piplup plushie that I bought at the con last year. :D

I also might be going as White, depending on me getting the rest of the stuff I need.

N...I may glomp you... >.>

DD: Sometimes it can take longer. I would give it one more week and if nothing then I would definitely cancel that and try to get your money back.

XD We should set up a Photoshoot time then

[VeeSmith]

A photoshoot of all the Pokemon cosplay people would definitely be awesome. I'd like to be Dawn for that but I'd also want pictures while being White if I do that one as well. Blast you, complications! >_<
If I do White too, I'd be her the first half of the day or so ('cause I have to spray my hair blue for my Dawn cosplay and washing it out in the middle of the day would be a pain) and I'd want a picture with the other Whites where we would all be like, "Wtf? I'm White! Why are you dressed like me?" with confused faces and whatnot. I think it'd be pretty comical, especially if Black and N were around to just be standing on the sidelines of the picture to look entertained by the situation. lol.

Yeaaaaaah, so the eBay store I ordered from doesn't exist anymore 

BUT! I've ordered my wigs (from Amazon this time) and they should be here by the 2nd! I'm also gonna try and make the Badges and the case for the Unova region to go with my costume!

Also, anyone have any idea how to do his shoes? They look like bulky skater shoes but I can't seem to find any thing that looks like them.

Usually what I do for shoes is I will buy normal shoes that don't have lining/odd pieces that stick outwards from them, and make a sort of fabric covering and then glue the edges around the bottom of the shoe where it attaches to the rim with E6000 glue (cold version of hot-glue). I tend to get stretchy fabrics that form to the shoes better as stiff fabric does not work well. For Black's shoes I would possibly cut out the fabric in the shape that his shoes make, double it, and then fill it with a sort of stuffed interface to give it that extra bulk in the tongue and back areas.

I did this same technique for my Sonic shoes, incase this description is a bit confusing (I'm so bad at this).



I hope this might help though.

Sweet! Thanks, this helps a lot!

No problem, can't wait to see the outfit :D

[ChibiWillas]

Woohoo! My wig came in!! Now I just need to make badges and shoes lol!

[SoraNa]

I just finished my pants (sans the belt loops). I only need to make the white shirt, the shoes, finish the necklace, make the arm band and bracelets, and style my wig and I believe I'm finished. I'm going to try and finish his outfit next week so I can focus on the wig during the weekend.

[LittleSasuke]

So, never mind about me being Ash. Since my hair dye is coming out I've decided to bring Gary Oak back. 
I've already got everything I need for it. Plus the extra badges. xD;

[ChibiWillas]

So what days do you guys plan on being in your cosplays? I'd love to get a group shot of all of us!

[LittleSasuke]

I plan on doing Gary Friday and maybe Saturday. Still planning out the days and other photoshoots.
