Soo.. again I'm changing plans for ICON this year.. I've always enjoyed the Legend of Zelda series. Recently I started the Twilight Princess game for Wii!!! Yay!!! I'm in love!! It's by far one of my top fav games now. Anywho! along with the whole cosplay thing..

One of pals from college, YAY!!!! \o/-cheer-
She has an epic Link outfit and I'd love to work on the Zora Armor from TP and do a sorta group cos with her.

Now only problem is getting my hands on some materials and advice from those who've cosplayed as "Zora Link" type deal.. I'm hoping I get some major help I'm gona need it for this one.. Still in process of Steampunk idea and what not, just gathering things as I go along. Still need sooo many parts for that.. -.-;

But yeah, if anyone has any ideas or anything it'd be greatly appreciated! I'm just worried.. I'm not by any means crafty But we shall see!!-thumbs up-
I'd just love to actually get a decent cosplay under my belt for once >< all rest I did were so crappy DX

n_n

soooo as for my steampunk thing... WHICH i was..... working on.. ; is not going to work out, at least not this year. I don't have the moneys for it sadly T_T

BUT!!! I was going to continue with my umbreon idea.... then... I remembered again.. o ya no moneys.. D:!!!

SO!!! Now Im going to do two things.. one of which is uber nerdy about WoW.. but anywho.. I just bought the stuff for the neko costume myself and a friend are doing. Got the school outfit and just need to get fur for the ears etc.. I usually am NOT a fan at all of the schoolgirl outfits because to me girls do it to be "gawked" at.. but I just like the idea of this and it was cheap XD

The other idea.. is well I bought an [Epic Mount] t-shirt at the previous Icon in NY. I figured Im going to play off that.. just be lazy though and itll be easier, extremely cheap and so on. Im going to wear that, some jeans, make myself some horns and tail and do the Talbuk mount thats on the game. ^^!! nya!! im excited! Cause its nerdy.. and yet crafty at same time.. ok ok mostly its cheap... -sigh-

I deff want to do something with a group though for Icon but I doubt at this point itd work out.. Id have to plan something for the Icon after. Anywho I am most deff happy with these two ideas. Sad I couldnt do the steampunk or umbreon idea I'll just have to tweak them for the year after.

wow so... i didnt even explain the plan lmao... ok cut me some slack im tired... its gona be a neko costume. regardless of my obsession with wolves I figured neko may be neat to do. hopefully not millions of people decide to do that ><!! ill post pics of idea later. Id appreciate if anyone would be willing to do a commish of my idear -nod nod-!!

So I've been still doodling away at some steampunk ideas.. I havent had time to put them up on here, and just recently got internet back. A friend of mine, Zach, and I were talking about doing some steampunk costumes for next years Icon. May as well get a jump on it now! Last time it was a bum rush to finish things, my mom was helping me put pieces together as I was running out the door to leave for NYC.

Well I started thinking of ideas and putting pieces together from past roleplay characters and what not. I know Im going to do some sort of Aviator class so I want to get the hat, scarf and goggles. As for the actual clothing wise I wanted to do some sort of corset, with a jacket and leggings, some nice leather boots and of course spats cause they're awesome!

Well I looked through pictures from google and flickr etc.. some costumes were so awesome and inventive. I didnt see anything until!!! I saw this one costume that I knew would work well with the idea I had based off of previous characters and what I had pictured in my head. Usually you try to get ahold of people and cant, or they get pretty pissy that you even asked for permission, which you couldve just taken their ideas... but actually this girl helped me a whole lot! Im really excited! She helped give me the link to where she found the jacket and ideas for other parts she had.

I didn't even think sadly to look on here for ideas, but I found the picture here as well. Im a little ashamed I didnt use deviant art in the first place. ;

Anyway I have somewhat a paint job on the guns Im using. Got them at Walmart for 3 bucks, they're just water pistols. I'll try and put up pictures as I go along.

As for boots Im still working on finding those, I did find a corset however, off ebay, which my pal, Chris helped me think of a color scheme to use with it. Im so excited I wish I could just have it all together now to wear XP.

Ah well I'll attempt to keep more info updated on here, which to me seems unnessicary since not like I have ppl reading these ^^ oh wells!
