Conference Room / Re: No. 6 Day [monthly event]
« on: July 24, 2014, 11:47:35 am »
I'm just going with what's said since I don't have any other good ideas (aside from the 6th of each month being a special day). I'm pretty content with the idea of monthly days, an annual week, and birthdays being special fandom days. I just don't have anything to contribute at all at the moment, so I've stayed quiet.

Oh, pictures would be awesome! Sorry I didn't get these posts up sooner, though! I just finished a bit of a hectic move, so I've been late getting things done left and right.

There's my tips on Nezumi's scarf! I can't believe how long it took me to actually post that. I promise I meant to do this a lot sooner.

I am really not enjoying summer weather. I melt. I get just a little too hot and I'm done for the day. Headaches and exhaustion. Yuck. I'm pale and the sun shows no mercy.

Anyway, the wedding went well! I was nervous and rushed a bit, but it ended up to be perfect timing because a child started fussing just as I was ending the ceremony. The couple was happy with it all, too, so I guess my first wedding as a minister was a success! The wedding I attended the week prior I was a bartender, and I'll be just a guest at the wedding I'm going to in a couple weeks. It's the summer of weddings!

I just got back from performing my first marriage! And in a couple days I'll be moving to New York. That's what's going on in my little part of the world!

Here's my scar tutorial! http://weiselzelle.tumblr.com/post/88919319594/two-ways-to-fake-shions-ridiculous-scar

I'll probably go back and improve it later once I'm done with moving next month. Things have been awfully busy.

@dragonflame185: Sorry for taking so long answering this! I meant to post a tutorial before I left for A-kon but it got crazy busy before I could actually do it. I'll try to post something once I get home a few days from now. But for right now, I'll tell you that my makeup method for Shion's scar is using a few layers of different products, starting with a primer, then lip liner, then filling that in with blush, then a layer of finishing powder followed by a makeup setter. You can use relatively cheap products from a drug store for your color and the rest is makeup essentials that definitely have uses for other than just a scar. I find that it doesn't quite survive a whole con day without rubbing onto my white shirt a bit, so my other method I'm using for situations like that where I need it to last a long time without worrying about the mess is using athletic tape. It's not as natural looking as the makeup method, but they both are pretty practical. Athletic tape is cheap to find online with an entire roll only being a few dollars and the only downfall is that it's like ripping off a bandaid when you take it off afterwards. I'd recommend using the makeup method for things like photo shoots where tiny little details really matter since it ends up looking really natural on your skin if you do it right. The tape method is great for cons when you need that mark to stay right where it is without any worries. I'll try to get a proper post up about it once I get home.

And I'm so glad to hear you like your wig! I've been hoping it'd turn out well for you!

@Vox: Yes, I'll be cosplaying there! Friday I'll be Flynn from Tales of Vesperia and on Saturday I'll be Eve! I'll definitely post pictures of myself and my Shion that day. We're gonna be so cuuute! Wish I could've had the chance to see you, though. Well, Otakon should be super fun for you at least!

Just thought of this... I can't remember if I said anything about it before, but I'll be going to A-Kon next week if anyone else might by chance be going! I'd love to say hi if anyone is.

@Vox: YEAH I WOULD!!! Also since I can only write, cosplay is the best pretty looking thing I can add to the fandom.

@Vox: I agree wholeheartedly on the shirt. I actually had a dream two nights ago that I found a shirt just like that and bought it. I was really disappointed when I woke up.
And I feel like you're right about their fashion sense. I mean, nearly everything in the anime is stuff I wouldn't wear outside of cosplay. I do like how Shion and Nezumi look in the manga, though. Better shirt and I like the beige sweater on Shion a lot more. I do remember listening in the No.6 DVD commentary that they changed some colors to brighten up their designs for the anime... Not sure if that was a wise move, guys. (Of course I end up wearing it all anyway, psh.) And when I cosplay Eve, it's a variation on what Eve looks like in the manga, so it'll be pretty different from the anime dress. (I'm pretty sure I'd look bad in that dress, anyway, even if I did like it.) Everyone's just a lot prettier in the manga!
As for pants, that's something I want to improve on as well. The cuts are a little fake looking on mine, but definitely not the "VVV" kind of cut. I'm currently trying to rough up the edges more with a seam ripper to mess up the loose fibers even more. It seems to be working pretty well. I'll post a picture on my blog when I'm all done so you can see what it looks like in the end. So I guess my best advice on that is avoid the "VVV" pattern and use a seam ripper to make it look more "natural." If only Nezumi would just tuck his darn pant leg into his boot, it wouldn't look like that.
And I'm always happy to help with things like tutorials! I did consider putting it off a day when the headache started, but I really wanted to get something posted for you soon even if it wasn't perfect just so you'd have something to start with. I'm planning to improve what I have, though. My Nezumi wig just got a bath and is drying now! Anyway, I really really love to be able to help with cosplay stuff since I love it so much! Plus then you don't have to spend two years of trial and error on your cosplays.

Okay, I'm rambling. I think it's because I'm hungry. Maybe.

@Vox: No problem!
And I don't know how to react to a compliment in text... I usually just blush and cover my face and try to say something along the lines of "thank you" and awkwardly stumble over my own words. So I guess imagine that.
(And that yellow shirt... When it's getting close to laundry day and I'm forced to wear that shirt, I'm actually completely embarrassed. What a color.)
The color of my wig is actually a mix of blue and gray, but I'm sure my pictures are a bit off in color. I just took a picture of different shades of blue papers and the lighter ones became orange in the photo. It's not a super vibrant blue anyway, but I like how the gray makes the overall color a little duller. Some cosplays I want to be bright and shiny, but not Nezumi. Eve, maybe... Actually I bought some sparkly things for my Eve cosplay the other day. Not important, but I love shiny cosplays.
And trust me, you will have to remind yourself to be patient and gentle, despite what your inner Nezumi might want. I've had that wig for two years and it has seen some hard times, considering I knew just about nothing about wigs when I got it. So it's been abused and cried on a lot. At least it's held up this whole time!

@Ahiku: Thanks! And hey, cosplay's not for everyone. It's a ridiculous hobby that you spend all your time and money on and then you torture yourself by wearing clothes inappropriate for the weather. It takes a special kind of insanity, I think.

I'd like to try redoing my photos for the tutorial so it's a little clearer and less sloppy. I didn't want to make excuses, but halfway through documenting that, my huge headache decided to come back and by the time I was done I was ready to rip that wig right off. I didn't, though. I patiently and gently took it off, and then ripped out the pins and wig cap from my hair.

Also I think my Nezumi wig deserves a little love and care. It's too hot here to do anything else, anyway... Time for a bath, Nezumi!

I like the monthly idea! It gives me something to work on each month and do well rather than rush a lot of things. Plus it's something to always look forward to!

How about the 6th of each month? It'd definitely be easy to remember that one.
