29th October 2013: Shirt Complete Easiest costume piece by far
29th October 2013: Trousers Complete Woop
29th October 2013: Belt Complete!
29th October 2013: Gradually moving progress shots here to make room for photoshoot images... Sorry for the spam that'll fill everyone's activity feeds!
First up, anklet, complete!
23rd October 2013: Contacts/Wig Test Image is mirrored, as it's self shot, but I really like my contacts for Watanuki - I wanted something a bit more 'amber' shaded for Doumeki's eye, but ah well. It looks pretty good. Right shock to spot whenever you catch your own reflection though xD
22nd October 2013: Sleeve Backs Complete Guessing these bits was a pain, but I kept things minimal to avoid extra stress/inaccuracy
20th October 2013: Outfit 80% Complete Photo was too blurry to upload to the main section xD
But yeah, basically need to add edging to the bottom hem, fix some slight pulls on the inside lining of the sleeves, style the wig, and then spraypaint all the patterns onto the sleeves before I sew on all the little stars and stuff!
So he's very close to done now! 8D Woop~ will get the bulk of everything done tomorrow between working on Nate and some errands and stuff, but SO close to complete!
9th October 2013: Update Under-Kimono is now done (it's just a long, plain white one, that will block the main Kimono from rubbing on the excel center floor x'D and also because at least on his bottom half it does look like Watanuki's wearing an under-layer on his kimono??? Idk.
But his 'pjs' are pretty much done, just need to add the blue bits properly (but they're done, it's just a matter of attaching them, woop~)
Shoes, anklet, and his sparkly earring of doom are done (though the anatomy of the latter confuses me to no end x'D how do you attach to anything, CLAMP jewellery??)
Over-kimono is currently two separate items - the main body, and the lining, which need sewing together, but I'll do that once I've painted the designs onto the main body, in case I make a big mistake! Then it's just embellishments 8'D getting there! Not too worried, I'm sure I can do this~
29th September 2013: Slow but gradual progress... Pics to come soon, but the base of everything is getting there. Obviously the difficulty in this cosplay lies in the detailing once everything's sewn together - the construction itself is pretty easy xD
But that's the daunting part I suppose - cant detail it until it's sewn up, extra work/money if I mess it up once it's sewn together! D;
Wish me luck guys, I need it right now xD
