Late last night, amid my achey body and sore throat, I got a sudden surge of cosplay energy after trying to sleep! And now Raichu is finally done! I'm very surprised with the results, it turned out looking pretty good... makes me feel adorable to wear it! :D And that's the point of a cosplay, isn't it? Not to impress others, but to feel good about having made it yourself and feeling good when you wear it!
(Of course I am still secretly hoping it earns me hug and picture requests >w<)
But yes, I somehow managed to finish the stripes. On Tuesday, I finally bought some brown leggings... the only downside is that Walmart only had brown in size Large, X-Large, and XX-Large!!! D: I may or may not attempt to shrink them in the dryer if I have time today.
The tail gave me some trouble though, I had to take it apart twice to resew it because it was so pitiful. Cardboard is a miracle. XD So last night I finished the tail and it looks pretty good. I did the headband a little after midnight, I had to make 3 ears because the second one had the lines on the same side of the other ear XD *fail* Headband came out looking pretty cute too! And I have my duct-tape yellow cheeks >w< Still not sure how to do my hair; a high pony will give me an edgier look, but if I wear my hair down it'll be more sweet and feminine.
I need to find my darn black belt and black shorts for pikachu though! Pikachu- Friday. Raichu- Saturday and Sunday. I need to show the anime world my cleverness of "evolving" XD
Soo......
I will not be posting pictures of the completed cosplay on my blog until after Ohayocon. Or if my illness gets worse by tomorrow, and I am unable to attend Ohayocon, I will post the pictures.
Yeah, so, yesterday I felt the beginnings of a sore throat. Today I feel a full-blown-almost-can't-talk sore throat. And for the past two weeks I have felt fatigued, but most of that has been due to my recent eating problems (which now might be related to my illness, I thought it was just psychological/stress). I will hopefully be going to the health center today though. I just found out that since I have the school's health insurance, I don't have to pay the $10 visit fee. ^_^ $10 more dollars for Ohayocon!
Edit: Yay! Just got an appointment for 11am this morning! :D
But you don't want to hear about my health issues, you want to see some hot cosplay action, right? :3 Alright, I'll show a few (cropped) pictures to whet your Ohayocon appetite! I was so excited last night that I even let my roommate give me a little cat eyeliner tutorial to see how it would look with the costume. I have mixed feelings. It's a pain in the butt to wash off, but it does look kinda cute, but it's also a little much. I probably wont wear much, if any at all. XD Your opinion?
Hope to see you all at Ohayocon! I may be shy, but this year I have a goal of hugging at least 10 random people, and I am not letting myself refuse any pictures or other harmless requests! XD Hm, and just for the record, this will be my first Ohayocon as single woman! :3 Lets hope I don't get too crazy with my fangirl craziness. XD
