| Well I actually mean thing... My mask for Skull Kid ( Majora's Mask )
Since I have nothing better to do over the summer I decided i'm going to knock out as many costumes as I can. And so far i'm doing pretty good. :3 I finished Lion Sora and Skull Kid is just about finished. I would say 78% done yep. So yeah.
After I finish Skull kid I shall revive Vivi from FF9. I made the costume along time ago but errrrrrrr.....I hated it >_< Since my skills have improved I decided to give it another shot.
Well i'm sick of ranting off I go to sew!
And i've noticed that Xanga has been shot...Its soooo dead. D: Oh well.

| So I finally finished Lion Sora ! huzzah That costume took me about...I guess you can say 3 weeks worth of time. Yes I know he looks like he doesn't have much detail but when you break it down like I did. OMG its madness.Just pure madness. But for the most part i'm happy on how it turned out.
Before I explain how I made the costume in great detail i want to say that I am a very cheap cosplayer except for when it comes to buying fur. But most of the bases of my costumes are things I find around the house. For intense Lion Sora's and one of my first costumes....Soldier Heartless
Making of Lion Sora's head. I used a bicycle helmet as the base. I found this really thick wire from an old project I had to do for school and thats the frame for the ears ( Yay for element project in IPC ) I hot glued a ear pattern together for his ears plus some stuffing to make them plushie like. ( Btw for my mask I tend to use hot-glue for my masks because i'm not patient enough to make a sewing pattern plus I hear they are complicated.But either method looks good to me. ) Now as for the muzzle I used the wire cutters to cut up a few wire hangers and molded from that. ( I cut up my old Rinoa costume for some stuffing in the cheeks and the muzzle for I HATE RINOA!! >D )
Anyways moving on... >_>; Thats basically the base of the head then I covered it with fur and yeah.
As for the hair? Pain in the butt I kid you no. I put in human hair extensions ( I <3 my Mommy. :3 ). Yeah sounds easy but they were time consuming... I used hair extensions like so http://www.hairbraids.co.uk/images/remiyakiweaving.jpg
And I would cut them into small cm long pieces and I patterned it on the head. ( Took at least a week by itself )
I used Got 2b glued to get them to spike like Sora's hair. I had to use the spray and the gel. the teeth are totally white fun foam and I used white fun foam for the eyes and they're painted of course. And there you have it the ingredients for my head. xD
The fur suit: Before I even started adding the fur I had to make the base of the, feet calf muscle and thigh muscle. This was actually the easiest part of the costume. It just took a while. The base for those is foam padding ( Like the padding you find in fabric stores ) I had to wrap it in duct tap so everything would stay together and I cover them in random so the duct tape wouldn't irritate my skin while wearing it. After I finished that I made a pattern for the legs and sewed it. ( A few small areas I had to hand sew or hot glue but they're hidden ) After that I made a pattern for my upper body that was pretty much straight forward . I installed a zipper so I can easily get in and out of the costume. On the mask theres also a zipper for air ventilation purposes and so it can stay on my head in a comfortable manner. The paws were from one of my old costume ideas that I never wanted to finished so I just recycled them into Lion Sora paws. As for the tail....Its a costume tail I found at the costume store and I covered it with fur and attached the extensions there as well.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=1144360

| This past weekend was Akon 18 w00t w00t.
I arrived Thursday night nothing much happened then...From what I can remember well, staying up rather late of course.
Friday- Walked around met up with old friends I accidentally ran into Hall cosplay ( They dragged me into it ) They took my picture and later on that day I found out I won judges pick in Hall cosplay. I was happy about that indeed. :3
Saturday- This day felt great because we didn't have to deal with the cosplay contest at all. It was fun to watch and just acting like idiots funning around that con. We played apple to apples which was fun. I also got to get to know people on a more personal scale I guess you can say. I got to see Leah and Jill after TWO YEARS jeez. That was fun. ^_^ I also hung out with Chelsea, Lily, Mi-chan, Yami, and Alex. It was awesome. We went to the Karaoke room and had a "drunken" turk party with soda. it was fun. Yaya for singing the Pokemon theme song. And Sorry Chelsea I honestly didn't know you wanted to join us! Afterwards I walked around for some more and met up with everyone in the Registration area of the con. I got attacked by Cherry and Jesse falling over and hitting my head. Didn't hurt that bad thought stung for a bit. Actually that last bit of this paragraph happened Friday night cause on Sat..we played Apples to Apples till 6 in the morning....Yeah!
Sunday- Woke up rather late.. I think 10ish or so ( Late for cons anyways) I packed away all of my stuff. And then....i headed off to get something to eat. I wish I would have helped gathering things from the hotel room because..............................hmm....Lets just say I got my clothing luggage but My head ( Mickey and Powerwild ) were left in the hotel room. Since then I have been calling the Adams Mark and so far no luck. But they did find mt letter jacket and a few other items I have left in the room. Yay for that. Alex, Yami, mi-chan, Lily, Chelsea, joy, and I went ice skating that was fun. I encountered the ice 3 times. After that we ventured off to "Twilight Town"! We went out to eat which was good. well after we headed back we said our good byes. Chelsea and I stayed at the hotel till at least....7:30ish? Either way it was pretty late. We went out to get Sushi that was funny hahaha to you Will xD. we left at....9:30? And at 10:45 ish Will, Kevin, and i got into a car accident. Now if you have been keeping up with me. This would be my third car accident. We got that straightened out and stayed at an inn over night.
As of right now I just got back from the doctors accident i'm suffering from muscle spazzems H/o
