Keeping this as a separate as I've unable to update recently due to college, but here is just a bunch of WIP photos i took for making godoka. Spent a few hours reworking some old photos from last year. This is one of my favorite costumes, so i thought it'd deserve more kirakira and rainbows :D VIEW ATELIER MERURU GALLERYFinally got down to editing these! I may do some more a lot later when I'm not busy. Enjoy! Also Strike Witches shoot got postponed til the next week again :< VIEW LUX GALLERYFinally holidays are here! Although I'm already half into them, i still feel like i haven't had enough time to be lazy :(. And as it is holidays it means more time to focus on cosplay 8D! Last week Ryo-kun shot my Lux cosplay. Fairly happy with how the photos turned out, though we were competing with the limited light source left, but managed to get some nice shot, Since it was late in the afternoon and a lot of us were running late to the shoot, I didn't eat lunch xD! So i called for the peasant (mangalphantom - who was also a helper throughout the day <3) to bring me some sushi >:D! Big thank you to both Ryo-kun and mangalphantom for making this all possible with me. Enjoy your potentially poisoned cookies i made :D! Although this maybe completely cosplay irrelevant, I made a nice dress in 2 nights to celebrate my holidays. This material my mother bought when i was about 2 years old, so i decided to make something nice out of it :D! We were suppose to have a pool party to celebrate Brisbane's Riverfire last weekend, but unfortunately things came up and it got cancelled. But we planned for a pool shoot, so i made this blue bikini for Lux xD! Even though I didn't get to shoot i'm sure there will be a time soon where it will be possible again, until then we wait :D! Last week I also got to hang out with Lelwood (my homura for supanova <3) and my good friend Jake<3 and had a day of cosplay. But it sorta ended up as me just eating and watching everyone work lol. I managed to just draw the basic outline of it so far.. I should really work on it ^^"! Strike witches shoot coming up this weekend, and I've already made some shimapan! I bought a black wig for Francesca, but recently dyed my hair black, so i feel kind of dumb haha! Ears are made, only the tail and jacket left to go!
Still heaps of things to get done, especially with Brisbnova coming up shortly. But I'm sure this term will be full of promising fun experiences :D! Just a quick update.
Looks like its pretty much just study until Brisbane Supanova (November), really enjoying my fashion course, although some of it is pretty meh. My favourite subject so far has to be sewing :D! Here's just a few definite plans to follow for the rest of the year, hoping to do a lot more though ^_^! Finally got down to editing and posting those photos from a few weeks ago! Its been really from SMASH, but here they are :D! The quality for these aren't the best, but this was just mostly for fun! It was good to catch up with our friend Sean, who i must thank, he came at the last minute to take our photos when we found out Jeremy's sister took the camera with her for the day haha! Mangalphantom said he would never cosplay vocaloid. Nek minnut, I happened lol! So i pretty much robbed him of his vocaloid virginity! There are plenty of other pictures of us that are a bit more fan servicey, because of the lighting quality, I might not ever get down to editing those but perhaps when I'm bored and have nothing better to do i will try again. For the most part we used Sean's small collection of hentai pics lying on his ipod to take the butt shots haha! We ended the day with some delicious hatakaya ramen, you know its a good day when you end it off with a good meal :D! VIEW VOCALOID GALLERYThe following is just my lux progress for a bout a month. Enjoy >:D End product :D!!! Photo By: RyouPhotography
To be completely honest, I'm not very impressed with my wig LOL! Because of insufficient funds, i was unable to buy a new one >:C! DMG wig? Close enough! But pretty much after the night of arriving back in Brisbane, i bought dat wig and arranged for a photoshoot xD! After looking at the pictures taken on the day, I guess my wig wasn't so bad after all c:!
I would also really like to get some cos cards going, I kinda waited until after i finished this cos to get some cards :D! Because Lux is my wafiu and all lol, Anyway for those who actually my stuff and give a crap about what I do out of cosplay.. Friday one of our friends missed the flight, and decided not to come altogether, so instead another friend of ours (Mikasa in photo xD) took up the extra bed in our room instead :D! Oh yeah there was also this cheap place outside our hostel, THE DUMPLINGS WERE SO GOOD ;U;;! We spent most of that day fixing and finishing bits and pieces of our costumes in a cramped room! The day of the con was our Mikasa's Birthday 8D, so we sang happy birthday to her and went to bed lol. Day of the con arrived, everything was going fine but unfortunately i was feeling unwell about an hr into the con, so i couldn't enjoy it as much as i would have liked. So i apologize if i seemed a bit grumpy or off that day ><! Regardless i still had fun at SMASH and Sydney with everyone, as well as meeting lots of people :D! Next and last day of Sydney, my boyfriend and i just spent our time wondering around the city, shopping and catching up with others :D! It was such a nice time together considering it was our 17 month anniversary that day too! We were so exhausted ><! Maybe I will come again to smash next year :D? On a lazy afternoon mangalphantom and I decided to take photos of my Chobits 'cosplay.' We were really lazy all day and when we finally decided to shoot it was already late in the afternoon and we found ourselves competing with the light source! Originally mangalphantom was suppose to be my Hideki! But unfortunately due to our light source disappearing we just rushed to shoot photos of me :(! Luckily enough we did end up with some really nice shots :D! Considering how long we shot for and the many limitations we had, I'm quite impressed with the outcomes ^^! Uhh.. we also stole his brother's button up shirt HAHAH he will never know >:D! VIEW CHOBITS GALLERYAnd yeah sobbing cos 3 weeks til SMASH, Lux's boots have not arrived yet and I havent even finished putting the armour together ;___;;;!!
Last weekend I did a shoot with Haru! It's been awhile since we've hanged out so we decided to get together for a small shoot with an old costume of mine, jigoko shoujo. Unfortunately there might be a bit of wait on photos from Haru since he's busy with stuff c:! Speaking of busy, this week I've recently started my fashion course ^0^! It seems fun enough, although travel time for me is horrendous! So it is very tiring for me to go back and forth <_<", but it looks like I'll be very busy with this! In other news, MY WIGS ARRIVED!!! Planning to shoot chobits first sometime soon! ALSO FINALLY GOT DOWN TO DOING MORE OF MY LUX COSTUME 8C!! Arm guards COMPLETE :D!! Only 4 weeks til smash, look forward to more WIP :D!
check out their Code Geass photos
The 3 day costume paid off. I ended up getting some amazing shots with E3Studios. I'm so grateful to Jeremy, Hiyu and of course Eddi to taking the time after your own scheduled shoot to be able to allow me for my own :D! In the end we took some really awesome shots in the time we spent together ^^! Extra thank you to Hiyu who bought us some nommy lunch ;u;;! UPCOMING COSPLAYSSince its winter in Australia and its cold, so mangalphantom and I are planning two indoor cosplays, o0o0o indoor! Both costumes are pretty much ready to shoot! Now we just wait for wigs to arrive :D!
In a month is also SMASH, which sucks because that means i only have 1 month left to complete my Lux cosplay. I guess i should probably hurry up with that T^T! Anyway I think i'll just stop the post here, until next time :D! |
