Con updates and features and stuff

I've got a few things to update and schedules to announce, so on and so forth. First off, I got featured in this really nice cosplay blog by - so go check that out. I was really flattered when she asked me, so I wanted to make sure to return the favor and send a bit of traffic to her site ^_^

Cosplay Blog with a Brain --> Foayasha's Cosplay Interview

I've been working really hard on my Maka cosplay, I was a bit slowed down by my desire to play video games for a short while, but I think I've managed to push that aside enough to get some of my work done. This weekend, mainly Sunday, I spent time figuring out how in the heck to make a Jacket. I made a rough draft version with some muslin, and it turned out pretty good, so I went ahead and dove into the real deal. Figured I'd share my progress with you guys.

In my head, I see this jacket as sort of a trench, similar to her black trench coat, so that's what I went for. I figure this style is a bit more badass than the two little dangly tails I see a lot of the time. I hope nobody gives me trouble about taking a little artistic license with that portion of the jacket.



I've also got some updates on the scythe, which got put on hold when I realized how close San Japan was, and I hadn't even started on most of my sewing yet. But now that the big portion is out of the way, I'll be able to finish off her weapon hopefully by the end of the week. It is further along than the images I'm showing here, but it isn't very pretty, so I am sparing my watchers.



I also decided to confirm that I'll be taking Lan Fan to San Japan as well. Her cosplay is a bit easier for me to do than Maka, so I expect to wrap that up right after the Scythe is done. I'll be wearing Maka on Friday afternoon, with a friend who is joining me as Spirit Albarn xD. I'll be wearing Lan Fan on Saturday. Let me know if you're heading out there too, I'd love to have friends and people to meetup up with. I'll bring along my forever alone mask to wear on Saturday with Lan Fan if I don't hear from anyone xD

Alright - well back to work!

EDIT: - Oh, and one more thing - As result of my poll for Which Swimsuit I should do - Major Kusanagi won. However, I was also pleasantly surprised to see Kida was one vote behind her. So... I'm making the executive decision to go with Kida. ^_^ There was also a write in submission that I loved that i'll probably work on sometime in the future too, a Xenosaga swimsuit - Kos Mos.
