Sneak peeking

You know the feeling, when everything is finished and ready to go. It makes you feel satisfied and somehow empty. All your hard work and effort can be now packed and prepared to wear on the big day. For us it is usually a passing feeling. It lasts about two minutes and we usually haven't really packed all our stuff away, because we still need to sew some stitches and glue something to something. The two minutes usually take place between finishing everything and wearing it on the morning of the convention.But now! Now we have that feeling and it's still two DAYS to the convention. We even took some photos to test our costumes. Wicked! Oh yeah, we needed to take them so that our faces would not be visible, because we didn't have the make-up...

Worldwide Cosplayer Photo journey: article status update

Just a short update about the status of the Worldwide Cosplayer Photo journey Project. Sigh, the item is still listed as “ Despatched to overseas”. It has been reflecting the same status since last week.  With such a massive delay in the shipping process, I’m contemplating some changes to the rules and deadline =\...

System mallfunction! Or... what?!

Few days ago, a very small bottle of clear liquid was found inside my mailbox. Thanks to Karan we were able to try to attach Muddler’s whiskers. Two attempts later the glue passed on to Hiron. She made the job look easy, again. The whiskers are made out of grayish fishing tackle, which I found after a quick search from mighty wreck storage.Hazy picture of the whiskers trial.Few days has also passed from the construction of Muddler’s evil shoes… or socks, but evil never the less. Yeah, Hiron was unhappy to be forced to take yet another round with them, but she didn’t shoot me when I suggested few alterations to them.Oh yeah... Almost forgot. We are practically ready. Four days before the convention we are heading. This is our record. And because...

Meeting Kipi @ Genting!

So I went for a short short short weekend getaway at Genting Highlands located in Malaysia with a few friends. It was an awesome trip and the cool climate there was such a refreshing relieve from Singapore’s  usual burning. at the malls with arcades and ‘Funland' like stores On the last day of our trip, we took a cable car ride down hill to visit the ponies and gawk at the awe-inspiring scenery of the highland. And while brisk walking to the cable car area, an unexpected encounter arises! To my utmost astonishment, I saw a famous Japanese Cosplayer at one of the NeoPrint shop! And she is……..   KIPI!!!!! Yes, the famous japanese cosplayer. Best known for her Suzumiya and Shana and many many moe cosplays! ...

Cosplayer, crossplayer, neutraplayer...

I'm a lady. I think there is no way I could be mistaken as a boy, but still my cosplay history is dominated by male characters. Not the most masculine men in the world, but still male. During the time I have been cosplaying, I have not used word “crossplay” to describe my hobby more than few times in the beginning. Particular term has just dropped from my vocabulary. There is an discussion on Finnish cosplay forum at Aniki.fi, which gave me the spark to write about the matter. “Cosplay or crossplay” is the topic, where people explain why they prefer one over the other. Cosplay. com has a own section for crossplaying for international tastes.I see crossplay as a sub category for cosplay. As a term it defines that cosplayer and her character differ gender. If someone asked me if I see myself...

General view on the progress and contacts trial run

Midsummer Day is on the next weekend. While everyone else are staring at a ridiculously huge campfire and eating sausages with potato salad, I shall try to finish all the incomplete stuff for Joxter and Muddler. Yoki will spend the weekend away, but she’s been really efficient these past few days. She found the perfect suede jacket to be torn to materials for Muddler’s ears.Attaching rather real looking tail.I already altered Muddler’s sock patterns according to our test version, but I’m going to start sewing on Saturday. I don’t want Yoki to be around when I start to curse and blame all the innocent creatures on Earth when things get difficult. I also finished Joxter’s hat. Only thing I still need to do with my costume is to weather it and...

Naruto (Life action )

Someone just pimped me this. According to the title, its like the best Naruto Life Action video in China. img alt="" galleryimg="no" onload="var downlevelDiv = document.getElementById('2d5599cb-0def-4426-aab5-b527cb19c092'); downlevelDiv.innerHTML = "";" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUCrj0o_wungzYpQrr2XhX4RzEMZeNHP_cTY0HW9x_ahxXKAlxx3FR_CRooJOWvIhAf8Pmq9bRCH_-fLx2lRjIqbXk36AYq9TWgYsA0WyeXydRYC57_XaoQlZ7CeHewT47SuQ3UBaq6hio/?imgmax=800" style="border-style: none"> Now that you’ve watched the video, I’m sure you’ll agree that the title was halfarsed.

Make-up test for Joxter

I got inspired yesterday and made a trial version for Joxter's make-up. I still need to improve the shape of the brown nose area. When I was applying make-up to my nose, I got caught up with the thought, WHY the nose is darker than rest of the skin… Which is quite irrelevant, when you go trough all the polymorphous creatures on Moomin Valley. But still.I tried to alter the shape of my eye by the placement of the eye-liner. In the corners it's on the inner eyelids and in the middle on the outer, to fake the strict cornered, almond look of the eyes which Joxter has. I used brown and black pencil eye-liners and a lot of fading. The last, black lining is left un-touched. For the nose I put basic foundation on a palette and took a piece of bronzer...

The Anime Character Quiz: VIDEOS!!!!!

Wooot, there's a lot of updates today. Hehehe, its my attempt to make up for the lack of contents this past week. Anyway, so I played a small game with some cosplayers during Soy’B and this is the final consolidated video.  How the game works is, I will show a video slideshow of 30 Anime Character pictures and the cosplayers have to say out the name of that specific Anime character as fast as possible. Sounds easy?  Well, it would be if you had all the time in the world to think. But nope, they (or you if you’re gonna attempt) only have 3 seconds each. If you’re game enough for it, then go ahead and try the quiz below! How did you fared xDDD ???  Tell me your score in the comments! I bet you stumbles and sluttered...
