Should be off studying, FOR THE TWO EXAMS

[crankyoldman]

But I gots rambles. And it's best to just get them out.



Terra
Green wig, more scarves around my waist. Paint flowers on tights. Have red boots (ala safety_caesars) bring non permanent altering materials to add gold to them possibly. Not really too much, just making it less the CG render and more Amano.

Laguna
Easy peasy! Since I'm doing the older version (IS IT JUST ME OR DOES NO ONE COSPLAY THAT?) because I'm lazy and I need one easy costume. Find men's light blue shirt at thrift store, take in a little if need be (but keep the man's cut), get hair extensions (truefact: I have enough hair to have extensions), dogtags. Find pink glitter pen and bring post-its. Ha ha, yeah. Cause shenanigans.

Steampunk!Auron
Revised because I just can't work with that coat I got. Thought I could, but eh. However, I happened to buy a very nicely tailored coat more in the vein of what I was hoping to do. Plan is to sew a coat in a nice breathable fabric, but if I run out of time I am going to impermantly alter the coat I have. Basically going for a sharp military look, but with asian details.


That big glob of orange is supposed to be a pushed up sleeve, aka skin tone. XD Debating making some kind of steamy wirey thing for that arm so it can mimick the tucked arm, which I would then kind of hold at that angle he holds it. Really depends on time.

WhiteMage!Cecil
This one is going to be the most fun, because it's basically an original design mash of things.

Take the staff and the beads from here:


Add a bottom part kind of like in this costume:


Add a blue shirt with the sunburst pattern and scarves in that stripey:


We'll see how that turns out.

Assuming Katy and I end up doing The After Palom and Porom (biggest assumption: me making a costume), you could be White Mage Cecil with us! Since it's kind of The After-ish.

At the very least I have Kas with her knight!Rosa costume. Cause I'm totally doing this costume mostly because it'll get me laid I wanted to do a Cecil costume for her and I have no skillz for armor.

Plus, I always thought he'd be a better white mage. Paladin Rosa, White Mage Cecil and Black Mage Kain--would that not have been GREAT?

Alas, like I told Katy yesterday, if I had more time I would totally be putting out commissions for armor.

Oh and Kas is putting together a Julia costume now, for the FF8ers. Hot, right?

[first-seventhe.livejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH! Do we have a Rinoa??

[venefica-aura.livejournal.com]

I think? Ask Jana. I have no idea. But Kas plays piano too! So it works.

And your Steampunk!Auron looks fabulous.

White Mage Cecil is gonna be the coolest thing ever! Seriously, it sounds awesome.

OH MAN! You're gonna have to remind me to bring the boots. I'd completely forgotten I'd said you could borrow them for Terra! XD And you still totally can - it's just that I probably won't be wearing them myself so I don't want to forget to bring them for you ;D

[t3h-w0lfy.livejournal.com]

THAT REMINDS ME I SHOULD POST PICS OF MY LAGUNA COSPLAY FROM THIS PAST WEEKEND. ...I has bowtie.
