You do props too!
I'm interested, what type of materials do you use for it? I'm interesting in commissioning for a Keyblade since the last person I commissioned for a prop scammed me. xwx;

Yep, I mostly make them out of wood but it depends. One of my soon to be current commissions is sango's boomerang and that will be made out of blue insulation foam and bondo. I believe this keyblade came to around $135 including shipping not completely sure since this was back in January and the commission also included all the about parts too. and >.< I promise I don't scam xD I almost always put the clients DA in the artist comments only time I don't if the person doesn't have a DA or if it was at the way beginning when I opened commissions. So ppl can check them out and ask if I'm trustworthy or for feedback on a commission I did.

Wow! You're making a Sango Boomerang? O.O Wow, I am impressed! That's a very big prop! Aww, thank you! I believe you and really I appreciate you being so honest with me from the start. I've sent you an e-mail with the two props that I was scammed for before and I'm hoping that if you could give me a quote for them, I could commission you for them too.
Most likely I will commission you for them and I will probably be a long time commissioner for you! XD I like how you work! ^ ^ You're very diverse in prop making and wigs! 8O You do so many things! Wow!

Yep, I am looking forward to it so much since it will also get me ready for a bigger commission prop in the future and I can see how making Sango's Boomerang goes to compare it to see if I can make it, lol. Thank you! and Awesome! I sent you the quotes to your email I can't wait to see what you come up with if you will be a frequent customer/client of mine xD My other customer/client gave me a challenge of a glider. At least I have over a year and I haven't commit to it yet xD Thanks again I love making things and I don't want to limit myself so I try a little bit of everything and try to improve. Also helps that I'm really into Kingdom Hearts xD

So you're building your craft up to bigger projects. That's amazing and so smart to do! I receive the e-mail and messaged you back. ^ ^ Thank you so much!
Hehe, I have from gun props to swords and shields in my mind for prop commissions for you!
A Glider?! WOW! I've never heard of commissioner who's made a glider! That's so cool! Good luck with it if you decide to do it!
That's a very smart thing to do. People always look for artists who know how to make different things and work in different areas so it's a very smart move.
XD Aww! I miss playing Kingdom Hearts, it was such a good game!

RHatake In reply to DarkMage83 [2012-07-06 00:41:24 +0000 UTC]
O.O Awesome!! and yep, especially since not many commissioners take big props because of shipping. I know how fedex can be along with the others and that is why it will be bubble wrapped, cardboard, etc. to protect it Keyblade made it fine to IL xDD
Thanks yeah, I have a lot planned need to go back to Ace and actually ask for assistance to where some stuff is >.> and it will be able to be taken apart which is the hard step and shipped in 3 giant boxes.
Thanks and I agree there's so many just wig commissioners and prop commissioners already. So I want to stand out a little more
I love KH even if I haven't played for a while now too. We need to play again! xD

Oh, you bubble wrap them too!? That's just awesome! I've never heard of a commissioner bubble wrapping their commissions! *sobs* That's plain awesome, applauds to you for doing that!
Back to Ace? O.O I hope taking it apart is easy!
Exactly, it's a good plan! Your website is so complete too. XD I'm having fun looking around it until the bank transfers. XD
D: I know what you mean. I haven't played since the second one came out! I remember defeating Axel, but that's just it. XD Right now though, I really want to play Katamari, haha, it looks like so much fun!

RHatake In reply to DarkMage83 [2012-07-10 06:09:18 +0000 UTC]
xD Yep I do though I need go and buy more. Also add packing peanuts if I have enough. Depends on the commission for what I add xDD but all wigs get packing peanuts so it won't move too much in transit without hurting it.
lol, me too and easy to put back together xD I'm making a manual for her. That way it's easier to transit to different conventions xDD
xD tell me if you find any mistakes so I can fix them
xD I played under a year ago now with KHirth By Sleep or Re:Coded can't remember which. O.O I want to play Katamari I heard it's fun xD

Packing peanuts are fun. >O> Oh, I love poking them. Just like popping the bubbles in the bubble wrap. XD
A manual too? Wow, I'm sure that will be extremely helpful! That's very kind of you.
Everything looks A-Okay, Captain! :3 I keep going back to the Ven and Kingdom Hearts wigs, they're my favorites! XD I love how the picture is taken in the snow and outside too, it looks so cool!
I've never played Katamari, but I've been watching a Walkthrough in Youtube and it looks like so much fun!

RHatake In reply to DarkMage83 [2012-07-10 07:50:16 +0000 UTC]
xDDD which is why I put them in a box (well the bubble wrap) because I would want to pop them
Yep and it's no problem she's one of my best clients xDD She's recommended me to a lot of ppl and commissioned me a ton. (Ven outfit, shoes, 2x wayfinders, wig, keyblade, possibly nausicca and glider and wizardmon with a staff xDD)
They're my favorite wigs too but I think I'll love vash a lot too *.* xD I try to take all my pictures outside because the lighting is the best usually. But with Ven since I needed to ship it before the move hated me. xD Our old patio didn't let the stand sit right with all the snow. So I used my patio fence thing and it blew over into the snow 3 times while I tried to take photo's. So I would rush it inside and blow dry the snow chunks dry. xDD I spray the crap out of my super spiky wigs so it takes a long time for them to lose their shape or get messed up xD so it was completely fine
Put this under Ven Wig for a bit since she has it custom on FB xD [link]

Yes it is T^T
Yep met her at anime bostom and I wasn't even originally going to that con because I was supposed to be in Japan at that time xD I met up with her at ACen this year but I don't think I'll see her next year T^T
Yes! Than you don't get that awkward yellowing because of the lights or weird shadowing or different colors than it actually is xD Though overcast is bad too for the color. Thanks I think I'll leave it up now
shows the actual color the wig is xD It was also my dogs butt hitting the fence as he chased my other dog xDD

Oh, which convention would you say is the one you've enjoyed the most of the ones you've been? I heard that ACen was very big! I've seen videos online and it looks huge there! Do you ever think you will go to Colossalcon or Ohayocon? It would be great to make the wig creator in person and have some photoshoots with her! XD
Exactly, it looks so much better! I love how the actual wig looks too! Very realistic spikes, not odd looking or anything, clean, spiky, realistic looking (which is so hard to do with spiky wigs!) hair!
Awww, pfft, wild crazy puppy! My dog used to be like that, she's a little Dachshund, wiener dog, but now she's so old, she's 14 ;w; she gets tired from walking, hehe.
Payment has been sent! ^ ^ Yay!~ Sending you an e-mail a.s.a.p. with the Print Screen as proof!

Anime Expo is my all time favorite but Otakon comes second even if I most likely won't attend Otakon again >.o that flight now omg. ACen's big I don't like the layout of it though which is why I prefer AX and Otakon more too. I think a few of my friends attended those cons. I might but it's unlikely. Only if my friends and I do the convention road trip we talked about a year ago xD I'm sorry it would be awesome but I'm going to avoid the East/Mideast coast for a while. After going back to Minnesota to visit friends, family, and conventions xD that was a Nightmare flights >.0
Thank you lol
awww Prince is 12 now and has slowed down a lot but Angel keeps attacking/playing roughly with him -.- Poor boy also injured his paw and liked it to the bone while we were in L.A. so he has it bandage and the vet doesn't think it will make it. And a Dachshund xD until I came along that was what most of my mom's family had she grew up with 2. They're so cute!
Thank you this means I have enough to buy them (and I did a little bit ago now) Also forgot to mention this in the email but I ended up just buying 2 wigs for Vash aka instead of wefts a wig you are not paying for more than what I charged you for the wefts. I figured I would just buy another so I'll have more than enough wefts and the extra I can just combine into my own wig (which is why you're not paying me because otherwise I would have just bought wefts xD) Jet wig needed a little more in the back since my wig cap showed a little.

Ah, yes, that's what I noticed. It seemed to be layed out so crazy-like. XD It was confusing! I've never gone, but from what I've seen in the videos online, it looks like it's very confusing. I haven't heard of those, I think AX is AnimeExpo? I would like to go to Dragoncon and Yaoicon though, I've heard they're a lot of fun. XD
Awww, okay. TwT AWWWWW, haha, well, maybe one day we'll meet and cosplay! Yay!
No problem!
Aww, Prince? What a cute name for a little dog! Aww, I hope that his paw heals up! Poor baby.
This is the first Dachshund I've ever had and she's so adorable, she looks like a little potato now though. XD She's gotten so chubby and has grey hairs all over her fat little paws. But she's still as stubborn as she always was. XD She's called Fifi, I've had her since I was in Third Grade.I love it when they run and kinda look like they're galloping. XD
Aww, thank you! I hope that the extra left of the second wig helps for your new wig! Thank you for explaining this, I really appreciate! I hope you get to make an epic wig! ^ ^

It is slightly confusing but it's more jammed packed since there's not many open areas and the ones that are, are usually on the smaller size. xDD yep AX = Anime Expo. I really want to go to Yaoicon maybe in a few years along with anime north Hopefully
I have no idea besides AX and Kawaii Kon where I'll attend for a while >.<
ahh he's a doberman and angel's a siberian husky. and awww I love smaller dogs but I'm afraid I might accidently step on them since I'm used to bigger dogs. XD I can't get over how cute she sounds!
xD Not really a new wig just one of my most worn cosplays xDD but thank you and no problem

Omai, I would be very dizzy in there. @.@ Oh, yes, Yaoicon sounds like so much fun! It would be difficult for me to fly to Anime North, but I bet it's pretty epic up there too! I hope you manage to go to all of them. How is Kawaii Kon? I imagine it to be very cute and with a lot of pink decorations!
Oooh, a Doberman! I love that breed! And Siberians are beautiful too! Aww, haha, I'm the opposite, I'm worried that I might get run over bigger dogs. XD Awww, hehe, she sleeps a lot now. She's a Senior Citizen now, she can sleep as long as she wants to. XD Yay! I hope it turns out great!

It sounds like Anime North is like Anime Expo and I've always wanted to go but when I lived in Minnesota it was during the school year and I already missed some of school to attend Anime Detour xD. Kawaii Kon is all right it's a smaller convention and doesn't have a lot of cosplayers (which I found really weird o.O) But ppl are very nice there
xDD so cute!
Thank you

Oh, really? XD Omai! I only went to Comic-Con once, but it was after the school days, during mid-May. It must be quite the experience to 'rebel' and go to a convention during schooldays. >w< Ach!
o.o Oh, really? I didn't expect that. I expected that Kawaii Kon would have a lot of 'cute' themed cosplayers. Like Cardcaptor Sakura and a lot of 'cute' themed anime, that's really bizarre. o.o
I'm glad they're nice though! YAY! That's always a plus!

Anime Detour? I haven't heard of that one until now. O.O Wow, six times! You have experience in going to conventions and dealing with people then! What would be some of the suggestions that you could give to newcomers, like myself? I'm going to my first convention (in cosplay!) this year and I'm not sure how to even go about it. XD I'm going to room in with my partner, which is a relief, but when going around the convention...what do you suggest we do when seeing other cosplayers? Do we act in character? Do we act normal? Have you ever had to deal with creepy people? What do you do with them?
Aww, that would be cool! I'll go look it up now! I could use some Kawaiiness right now! ^ ^ I want cake!

RHatake In reply to DarkMage83 [2012-07-14 07:40:07 +0000 UTC]
lol I've attended 18 conventions so far xDD but I'm still awkward with dealing with ppl but it depends on who you are cosplaying sometimes because if your cosplaying a rude character you don't really want to act in character unless it's your friends who know your joking xD or in my case with Prince Soma from Kuroshitsuji or Jet from Avatar I don't act in character unless the person knows who I am cosplaying so I don't freak them out. (like a few Katara's at AX xD my awesome hearing heard them point out that I was Jet from Avatar and than I was like "Katara! <3 <3 ) xD I am now friends with a few katara's I met there xDDDD Yes I have had my share of creepy people usually it's ppl who love my outfit/character or my makeup o.O I'm still freaked out a little by the guy who loved my scar and kept getting closer and closer with his camera to my face o.O With creepy ppl it's a bit harder since I don't want to be rude usually I have an excuse like I need to go back to the hotel and change or go to the bathroom or hey there's a photoshoot I need to head to. I usually luck out with escaping since my friends help me

18 conventions?! WOW! You're a convention master! XD I've only attended one and it wasn't in cosplay, it was a very small Comic Con too. Ah, true. I agree, I think it's only fun if people know the character and you don't overstep your boundaries. @.@ I've read so many creepy things in the forums about people just getting really close, people screaming, randomly kissing people, that's really worrisome. That's so cool though, it sounds like you had so much fun! And it's good they were nice to you. Except the creepy guy with the camera. x_X

That's too funny! Those are adorable things to do, aww, heheh. I agree. It's also a good idea if you're uncomfortable to just say it to them straight...I've heard that a lot of other cosplayers will come over and defend you if they hear you. So that's a good thing to keep in mind.

DarkMage83 In reply to RHatake [2012-07-17 00:35:46 +0000 UTC]
Prosaid is a type of glue that's made for Theater make-up and Masks. (I don't know if you've seen the show Face-Off, but they sometimes use it. ^ ^) It's for gluing masks safely into your skin and beads and anything really, a type of "spirit gum" but apparently of a higher quality. At least, this is what people I've commissioned for Latex Masks have told me and recommended. Both work. Spirit Gum is easier to find, Prosaid, you need to go to certain websites to find it, at least, in Amazon I didn't find it.
As for binding, I recommend you try to use a bandage and over it a compression vest. I've heard taping can cause more harm to your skin and ribs than bandages and sports bras. Compressions shirts don't cause harm at all, since it's designed for it. What I did for my Cosmo shoot was that I binded with a bandage first and then put my Compression Shirt over it, it worked. But I need to get used to it, because after two hours I was dizzy. I'm too pale and my skin is too delicate, also I don't like pain, so I didn't tape myself, I've heard many warnings from Transgendered people (who usually bind more than a cosplayer and know these methods better) that taping is not recommended, so I really advice you to try out other things first. You don't want to hurt yourself! >< Ouch!
