We will be attending the midnight release of Soul Calibur V at Gamestop in Tulsa (the one right off of Highway 75 and 71st) as Cassandra Alexandra and Jester Tira. If you are in the area and a fan of the series come in, say hello, and pick up your copy of the game! We will be in costume from 9-11pm. Many Thanks to Saif from OKgamers for inviting us along!
In other news, we have started working on our first cosplays of the new year! We are currently working on our Panty and Stocking costumes!
Mika will be angel Panty, Demi will be angel Stocking, and our friend Shaun will be guest casting as Briefers Rock! We are really excited to have him join us. This will be his first cosplay! We've completely fallen in love with these characters and are very eager to put the finishing touches on these costumes... However, we still have a little ways to go before we are finished. So, until then, here are a few progress shots!
Luckily it's so close to Valentine's Day we were able to find some cheap decorations to destroy in order to make the hearts for our costumes!
We peeled off the sequins, cut the hearts in half and filled them with expanding spray foam so that they wouldn't be hollow (that part isn't pictured yet).
Last shot of the night! This is the beginning of one of Panty's bracelets. We used the same method for the arm bands as well. We cut craft foam into the correct shape, and glued stretch pleather fabric (purchased from mjtrends.com) to the back of it. It's cut like that so that it will lay correctly and not bunch up. We're pretty happy with the way it turned out!
We have also started on our World of Warcraft group! Mika will be Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, Demi will be a female Undercity Dreadguard, and Shaun will be guesting again as a male Undercity Dreadguard. We have a lot to learn for these costumes and tons of new techniques to try! We hope to debut both groups at Anime Matsuri in April. That gives us about 2 months, wish us luck! We will post progress pics as soon as we have them. For more info about our planned cosplay list for 2012, check out our cosplay page. Thanks for reading!
