Dear con-goers,
No matter how much you look like a given Turk naturally (see: Tseng-boyfriend), getting up and putting on some random navy suit you bought for like graduation or whatever does not constitute good cosplay. Ever. Seriously, I am sick of seeing shitty closet-cosplay Turks on the internet. My esteemed Turks (who will not be shitty because /I/ am in charge here) will probably have to keep me from throttling people at Sakuracon.
In gaming news, all I can say is holy shit guys, we're in the future. Isak and Varus, being mages, are of course poking and prodding at everything to see how it works and Isak is going 'Death is free again? Whoa'. This is going to be awesome.
Classes start tomorrow and I am still waitlisted for two of mine aaaaagh.

Oh and about bad cosplay - did you happen to see the douchebag on Google who literally borrowed a wheelchair and threw a sheet over his head and called himself AdventChildren!Rufus? Uh, no, dude. hahaha.

And totally badass. He is going to be teeny!Alucard to my Integra and his gf's Seras (she is also our Elena, and is super-cute ♥)

(She's cupcake_rufflebutt on dA and does ridiculously amazing shit.) You should do a shot with the bandages wound around your face like he wears them XD

Date: 2009-09-09 07:01 am (UTC)From:That was actually what part of the test was there XD I bought a fancy binder and wanted to make sure I could leave the shirts open as far as he does and still have the bandages cover it up. Probably going to 1) get a haircut and 2) finish hemming the shirts sometime this week, so I'll probably do some better test shots then. Also need to buy like...another three rolls of gauze.
I'll check her out! I always love seeing good cosplay because I am a huge nerd.

Date: 2009-09-09 07:19 am (UTC)From:And you should totally go for it XD And yeah, sucks about the astigmatism - I'm just incredibly nearsighted which means I have to buy the pricey soft lenses. One more power up on the left eye and I am officially into custom lenses territory for anything coloured e.e
Yeah, looking through - holy shit, she's good. I try but 90% of my costumes are ruined by my inability to do hair and make-up, and having bad photos XD

Date: 2009-09-09 07:28 am (UTC)From:I too have been mistaken for a guy while wearing dresses for Halloween *dies* It's my voice.
Yeah, contacts do nothing for me. I have little to no distance correction; it's all depth perception and the angle. So, without my glasses, things are bizarrely proportioned. Guess who had fun learning how to drive?! XD (I actually didn't get my glasses until I was 18. So, I learned to drive just misestimating distance because I couldn't fucking SEE. hahaha)
She's fucking ridic, I know. I'm still amazed. She did stage and theater for a long time. She's a musician/music teacher. So she's kind of got an eye for that sort of thing.

I've been wearing glasses since second grade, and literally anything farther away than six inches from my face is blurry without glasses.
Yeah, that would help a lot XD I learned to sew when I was fairly young so my craftsmanship is pretty good (the number of 'you /made/ that comments?!' I get when I mention making some of the more 'normal' stuff in my collection - waistcoats, one goth tailcoat, the linen shirts for AC!Rufus - is awesome), but I'm slowly working on the hair/make-up situation. Rufus and Sailor Uranus are the first two I've put a bunch of make-up work into, and it shows.

Date: 2009-09-15 04:22 pm (UTC)From:And yes, I would say that earthdawn talents are broken in pretty much any other system (except perhaps Exalted and Scion)
