Description [Digging up the Dirt!]

This took me about 2 hours.... x_x

Okay so you guys !Foye454 put up a photo of her like last year, nd it made me remember I made this little, 'first' cosplay to now thing that I put up on my Livejournal a few months ago. So I expanded it.

My first convention was Jacon.
I went to it once more.
Then I attended Metrocon, all the years.
And AFO I went to once.
And I went once twice to MegaCon...
Those are the only Florida cons. ^^
I then hit Naka-Kon here in Kansas City.
Hit Sakura Con in Seattle.
And now I have plans for Motaku and BishieCon.

If you've been keeping count, that's 14 cons! That's a lot to me. Though I feel as though I have been to more. And now I'll be going to another two in the next two months, and that'll be 16. WOW. I just made Organization XIII plus Xion and more.

But then thinking, WOAH 7 years of cons and I AM LOVING them.

I started going to cons in 2003.
And it's almost 2010~
And that would be ages 12-19.

So yeah.
Look at those skills! xD

I feel accomplished.
Very very accomplished with myself.

I have PLANY other cosplays from these years, but this should give you a jist.

Most photos (c) of risingsun.net


Cosplays:

From Left to Right:
Top Row: Kairi (Kingdom Hearts 1), Wedding Yuna (Final Fantasy X), Sora (Kingdom Hearts 1), Shuichi (Gravitation), Lenne (Final Fantasy X-2), Original... I wanted to wear the outfit.
Middle Row: Princess Serenity (PGSM Live Action Sailor Moon), Sailor Moon (Live Action Sailor Moon), Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Tohru (Fruits Basket), Sora V.2 (KH1)
Bottom Row: Rosette (Chrno Crusade), Sora V.3 (Kingdom Hearts 1), Roxas (Kingdom Hearts 2), Sora (Kingdom Hearts 2), Sakura (Card Captor Sakura), Winry (Fullmetal Alchemist)


God kill me.
And that's only HALF the cosplays I've ever made.

Yes. Thankfully my parents were pretty supportive of me. And I say you can tell her that people older than even me still cosplay. It's a hobby and it's costuming/modeling/acting which can land ya a job.

At least, that is how I think of it. Hahah.

Thanks it's not like she's banned me from doing it she just finds it a bit strange im sure after a while she will start supporting me (:

ShinraiFaith In reply to ArtySkittle [2011-09-04 21:21:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah trust me. They will find it strange but it's a good thing she isn't stopping you. I know a lot of cosplayers that do it in secret because their parents don't support them. It's sad and not fair. It's like a sport to us. LOL

I have not enough money to buy clothes/things which I will use to make clothes etc, and I'm lazy and I look bad in all costumes XD (even if I look bad when I'm myself XD)

Oh I'm sure that's not true!
Everyone looks wonderful in cosplay.

I actually started out going to Goodwill, finding things just like what I'm going for, and altering clothing. ^^

8D LOL LOL LOL LOL *laughing peters out into nervous giggles*
...
*cough*
I've only 'cosplayed' for a year, and most of that was just me claiming to be the character...

I failed, so badly. My first cosplay makes me want to rip my eyes out. ;-; *no jk*
*is not worthy in comparison to your years of experience*

ShinraiFaith In reply to patchworktrickster [2009-10-06 16:02:02 +0000 UTC]

Hahah no no no! xD
You don't fail!

I can remember, for Halloween I really started.
I made Princess Zelda and ironically, Sakura (Card Captor Sakura).
Those were my first, and thinking about it, I was so proud, altering real clothing.
I still do that now sometimes.

So it just... wow.
It boggles my mind of how far I have come. ^^

patchworktrickster In reply to ShinraiFaith [2009-10-06 17:35:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes I fail... all my cosplays are Naruto or Kingdom Hearts. (except Reno <3)
My first... damn, Sasori. Using a crappy red party store wig I cut with paper scissors whilst ignorant of the golden rule of cutting. DON'T CUT HOROZONTALLY FOR THE LOVE OF FUDGE! D:
I didn't bind, and was wearing a PINK AND BLACK bra under a sking coloured top.
And black cargo pants and trainers.

And a cloak of eBay.
*headdesk*
It looks so retarded, and my posing dod not help at all.

I had to clean my 'art' room up because their was stuff everywhere, and I dislodged some staches of Saix and Sasori hair. D:
*needs to vacuum clean AGAIN*

Wish I could find Axel hairs... *dream cosplay* *along with Xemnas and Marluxia (who I bought the wig for <3)*

I just know what you mean.

I vaccum so so much and still. I find hairs.

ZOMG, I have wanted to... cosplay as Xemnas's Final Form for a while now.
It's like a cosplay I wish I could do but probably never will.
*Has wanted to style Xemnas's hair SO BAD*

And wo woo!
You have to cosplay them.

And I guess it's a good thing the organization wears the coat.
That way... you can be everyone. xD

patchworktrickster In reply to ShinraiFaith [2009-10-06 21:48:22 +0000 UTC]

Yah, I've already spent shitloads on that...
the first coat was cheap and badly made and still cost £50+, secon coat is much better, but I thought I was fatter than I am, and then lost some weight and had to get it tailored, so over £150 on the Org coat EASILY.
But who couldn't love it?!
It makes me feel so badass! 8D

The next one (which won't be for AGES, more than a year at least, I shall try and make myself. >D

I actually miss old cons. They were so small and I met so many more people than I do now.

If Im looking at this correctly, you did Rosette in the Chess Match, I think. Looks like the floor of the board to me (and Ive seen it up close like most people).

You did an amazing job I was there for that. I've always wanted to try out for the Chess Match, but I live too far away (GA, a good four hours away) and I couldn't do this summer even since I have other plans that prevent me from going to Metrocon for the first time in the 4 years I have attended (This would have been my fifth).

Aww yeah!? Thank you! Chess Match is an amazing experience. Lots of hard work. And totally fun. I've been in it for two years, I wanna try out again this year again.

I wish you could!
But yeah GA is pretty far. <333
