Fall Update!

Mildly interesting news: the dance group I'm in has decided to have a Vocaloid theme for next year. This means I'll be doing a Vocaloid outfit-- most likely Utane Uta (aka Defoko). I know she's an Utau, but I really like her outfit, and I know it's something I'll be able to move in c: Here's a picture:

Isn't she cute? XD 

And it'll blend in with any of the dances we do. We might choose something polished, something cutesy or something hip-hop, so this works for any of those c: Also, it's pretty awesome that she has a rocket launcher!!

I wanna pose with a rocket launcher! c:

So, I now have one more costume added to my list... So many @-@" I'll post my list of which costume for which convention when I know for sure what I'm doing :-/

But, on to other topics! I watched Girls und Panzer. It's a lot of fun! It looks like it'll be a high school anime at first, but it actually incorporates strategy and some history, not to mention a whole bunch of tanks! It made me want to create not only a costume, but a life-sized copy of one of the tanks to take pictures with... >.>" Kind of expensive and probably too much to do, but I can dream :P

And the one lady from Shingeki no Kyojin is drawing my attention... I may try to add her as a costume, but it's not likely because I have so many I'm working on :-/

That reminds me-- I never mentioned the outfits I've already done. The main reason I didn't bring it up was because I don't have photos, but I might as well put them here C: In order of when I wore these costumes:

1) Captain Retsu Unohana from Bleach - This costume I wore to my first Tekkoshocon c: I had actually made the shihakusho that went with it for Halloween the year before, and figured I'd extend it into a specific character. I considered doing Zaraki, but I was so short and bad at prop-making that there was no good way to do it :P  Bleach wasn't very popular at the time, so only one person recognized the costume, but it was especially fun at Bleach photoshoots the first year that Bleach got very popular c: (After that, I don't think I wore it much)

2) Jakotsu from Inuyasha - I've always loved this character, and his outfit was fairly simple, and since he was fairly androgenous I wouldn't have to worry as much about looking manly. I finished painting this the morning before a 6-hour drive to my first Katsucon. Unfortunately, the kimono was so heavy that by the end of the day I couldn't lift my arms, and the folds kept falling out :C I still enjoyed wearing it (despite the fact that I was missing the armor-shirt, the proper hair-pin, the wig, and the prop sword because I hadn't actually finished the costume)

3) Katsuie Shibata from Oda Nobuna no Yabou - This character was so awesome c: I wish I could have gotten the wig to work, and I'm still working on the armor, but it's a comfy costume to wear :D

Gosh, is that all..? >.>" I haven't finished nearly as many for me as I have for friends... For friends, I have made: Link from LoZ, a version of Mokona from Chobits, Harley Quinn from one of the Batman animated series, two other shihakusho (base shinigami uniform from Bleach), and I've helped out on several other projects. Also, I'm still helping out with a Char Aznable from Gundam, a Nico Robin from One Piece, a Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, a Taiga from GaoGaiGar, and probably several other projects I can't remember :P

My current projects list include Cai Wenji from Dynasty Warriors, Asuka Kazama from Tekken 5, Lain from Recast, and Ivan (Origami Cyclone, but out of uniform) from Tiger & Bunny. I've been considering others, but I want to get Cai Wenji done before I get overloaded... I've been trying to do it for SO long, it's almost fallen by the wayside :c

And aside from my current obsession with Ixion Saga DT and HunterXHunter, there's nothing else to report... I'll post progress pics when I start having progress LOL. I'll post again later! Bye! C:
