I took these pics when I was making my Rogue boots back in 2006 and never posted them. I honestly would do it a little differently now - but I figured I should post them anyway! My Starfire boots were the exact same base boots, just a slightly different boot cover (I wasn't happy with the Starfire boot covers so I tried to fix the issue when I did these.) Here's ...
I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately. We've been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I've been thinking of! In the meantime here's my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.
In order to do my new Wonder Woman parts, Chase wanted to take a body cast of me. (Also will be for things in the future) So we did that today... it was so gross. And the best part? I totally passed out. For just a second or two, but I've never passed out before in my life, even last year when my anemia was so bad. Luckily no damage ...
At the beginning of the year I said I wanted to do: 1. Hoth Leia 2. Darth Vader 3. Padme's Lake dress 4. Bespin Leia 5. Finish Yuuko 6. Padme's Funeral Dress 7. Wonder Woman 8. The Bride 9. White Witch 10. Dorothy 11. ANH Leia 12. Team Zissou outfit So what did I finish? Hoth Leia? Yes, plus Bespin Escape: Darth Vader? Yes: Padme Lake Dress? Yes, twice!: Bespin Leia? Nope. Bought the materials, haven't touched them. Finish Yuuko? Somewhat - ...
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...
Back to our regularly scheduled Dragoncon pics! Got to sleep in a little bit Sunday morning. We got up and I put on Rogue for the X-Men photoshoot, and Chase stayed in normal clothes to play photographer. I was absolutely stunned by how many people showed up for the X-Men photoshoot! Me and Kitty! This is just part of the group! Rogues! Then we went over for the cosplay.com ...
All in all, I was very happy with how Rogue turned out! However I am planning to redo one certain element: I'm going to cut the arms and legs of the blue suit off and permanantly attach the gloves and boots. I don't like how you can see a tint of the blue through the single layer of the boots (from the ankle up) and the gloves (from the wrist ...
I've finished my Rogue costume and have added it to my portfolio!
The X for Rogue is done. She's packed... The Padme brooches are done (although the casting didn't work; we're going to try it again after the con, so I'll be wearing the sculpey ones there) and packed. Lake dress is not done. It'll have to go with me on the plane. Yesterday was NOT a good day. I won't go into the details but nothing went right yesterday. The worst ...
Danielle's lake dress is nearly done; I spent the afternoon dying the chiffon. Interesting experience... i did it a different way and for the most part i'm pleased with the results. The only thing i was disappointed in was the blue... it faded a LOT, especially at the bottom, so when I dye mine tomorrow I may put the bottom of hers in as well to try and get the ...
