| With the wonderful AQuietRiot as my fabulous Yuuko <3 This costume, I can already tell, will be the bane of my existence in the lead up to October expo x'D (23/10/2013: DONE OMG) |
Progress Journal
 |
Shirt Complete (Posted 29th October 2013) Easiest costume piece by far |
 |
Trousers Complete (Posted 29th October 2013) Woop |
 |
Belt (Posted 29th October 2013) Complete! |
 |
Gradually moving progress shots here to make room for photoshoot images... (Posted 29th October 2013) Sorry for the spam that'll fill everyone's activity feeds! First up, anklet, complete! |
 |
Contacts/Wig Test (Posted 23rd October 2013) 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 |
 |
Sleeve Backs Complete (Posted 22nd October 2013) Guessing these bits was a pain, but I kept things minimal to avoid extra stress/inaccuracy |
 |
Outfit 80% Complete (Posted 19th October 2013) 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! |
|
Update (Posted 9th October 2013) 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. 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~ |
|
Slow but gradual progress... (Posted 29th September 2013) 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 Wish me luck guys, I need it right now xD |

This is going to look fantastic :)
Oh what have you made the moon details? I'm intrigued...
Thanks guys ;w; (@Kila: It's worbla~ I wouldn't have used it on something so small but it needs to be able to hold up the pieces that are going to dangle from it, so... x'D)
Ohhh I wondered if it was but couldn't quite tell from le pictures! :) Should be awesome when it's all together though!
This is looking stunning so far! *^*
Ohmygosh it looks so pretty <3 I can't wait to see it at expo! :3

You looked simply stunning in person, as did your matching Yuuko :3 Was a pleasure to meet you at the CLAMP group! 8D
This costume is absolutely stunning!!
ASFBWGA D I DIDN'T REALISE THIS WAS YOU HELLO I was the derpy Rain XDD
You did a fantastic job on this! You really captured the look of those stylised smoke wisps and the wig you used looks just right, too.
Words cannot describe how much I loved your cosplays! Sooooo much detail~ And you suit Watanuki so well!! <3 I really enjoyed being able to talk to you properly for the first time as well! :D
Guys... guys plz ;w; too much guys <3 *touches all of your beautiful faces* @Freyarule: OMG How did we not know??? So glad I finally met you though 8D @Lady Bahamut: jlhgjf thanks lovely! That means a lot, especially from such a huge CLAMP fan ;w; and it was lovely talking to you properly too!
ffffff *_* .... that is all ;b
I only saw this briefly but you look amazing~
I love your Watanuki cosplay it's so amazing and beautiful. What's the material you used for the fans to make them look flowy? and how did you make the colours on it fade like that? I think I saw you at expo but I was probably too shy to say hi lol I'll try to be brave next time :)
jskzzjhgfsjdnb GUYS NO. GUYS STAHP. /hides/ but seriously thank you all it means a lot that people think this looked so good <3 @Bleachgirl425: Alas my Yuuko made the fans, and I didn't ask her about them 8\ um... if I remember from poking at them they were a sort of crepe material? I think there's bound to be tutorials for those sorts of fans online so my best advice is google xD (next time say hi plz! I love meeting new people! Sorry I couldn't be more help here tho)
