preparedforthateventuality:

fearlessstateofmind said: Yeah the enj one is similar I think 🙂 October is my (possibly slightly ambitious) aim for this costume too, think you’ll manage it?

You’re going as Bard, right? Hopefully I’ll manage it, although I was going to have all the props (pots and pans hanging off the backpack ect) which may not be possible for October. But I’m hopeful at the moment.

I was also talking to Josie about doing Anne and Constance’s dresses from 2.04 so that has also been added to the list. And me and Maisie are doing Harry Potter cosplays in May, so perhaps I’m getting a little over my head here. My bank balance is crying.

Think you’ll manage doing your Tolkien cosplay for October?

Bard is the plan yes – so another bulky leather coat. I want to do the bow and arrows and maybe the black arrow specifically for props and i have no idea how long that’ll take. (october aim also depends on how busy i am over the summer). Pots and pans hanging off the backpack sounds good though! but yeah time consuming

you should do the dress though! the two of you would look really good so im glad its on the list 🙂 (I really want to make one of the claoks while we’re talking about getting in over our heads xD)

cosplay in 2015 and beyond:

rewear most already existing things at some point probably

stuff I am already intending to make and know vaguely when is happening:

  • wiccan (young avengers) – in the summer this year, which cons depend on deadlines/exams/etc
  • frobisher (cloud atlas) – planned for summer/july with rory I think
  • athelstan (vikings) – october?/when mel would like me to basically (but I probably cant make it till the summer)

stuff that is vaguely mentioned amoung people for some point but no idea when

  • firefly
  • freddie (the hour) – because clearly what I need to do with my life is cosplay more characters ben whishaw has played
  • other things that I am forgetting?

stuff I want to do but have no time to acctually make

  • hiccup (htyd2) – possibly also skill levl problem…jumped from ‘yeah right’ after discussing with jemma
  • bard (hobbit) – this suddenly became a much more serious suggestion at last meet (?? help)

also

fix up aramis’ coat where the button loops have come off (I also still really want a cloak but yeah…) les mis stuff needs some tlc to rewear (buttons sewn back on etc)

potential con attendance and cosplay:

lfcc summer (july 12-13) – sunday is punk les mis group, not sure what I’m doing saturday yet

(camcon? its close, end of august)

october expo (october 24-26) – musketeers one day, probably ripper street the other. friday attendance depending on timetable

(lfcc winter, birmingham mcm, thoughtbubble, some other winter con it’d be nice to go to something around november/end of term time if possible and if I have someone to go with)

(lscc? march time con would be nice if work load allows)

amechibi (? april 10-12, literally ten minutes away from me but don’t want to go alone)

may expo (exam permitting)

I may add coplays that should happen at some point in the future (at one of these probably) to this later

Convention and Cosplay Updates

Other people may be interested but this is mostly for my benefit cause I keep forgetting what I’m meant to be doing when. Under a cut cause it’s quite long

Conventions I’m Attending

May Expo (almost certainly in this order) 

Tony Stark (Avengers) – Black Sabbath tshirt and iron man suit glove. (or as much as I manage to make of an arm)

Will Graham (Hannibal) – prison uniform thing (I also need to acctually watch the program, mel brought a suit)

Reg Shoe (Discworld) – With a protest sign and eight cross bow bolts sticking out of my chest (sunday is may 25th…and I can reuse some les mis stuff)

Penciled in for October Expo (probably not in this order, only if the groups come together and outfits are pulled off in time, and not sure which days I can do yet)

Daniel (Interview with the Vampire) – as this group has been pushed back from may

Aramis (bbc’s The Musketeers) – standard outfit, lots of work needed

Jackson (Ripper Street) – standard outfit

Cosplays I shall do at some point

Frobisher (cloud atlas) – shirt, trousers, braces, sixsmiths waistcoat? etc (going to cheat and make his trousers for reg cause they’ll be fine for both)

Conventions I may go to

LFCC – looks doable, know some people who are going, may be working, maybe only for a day

Camcon – may be working, close to my parents 

Cosplay stuff to do over the summer

under readmore for longish list post / easy skipping cause could be very boring

make/get

Grantaire (les mis) – canon era to do with ciasty’ enjolras at expo (I’ve started this one – shirt nearly done)

Toto (deadman wonderland) – for alcon hopefully, need to get started on this

finish

Break (pandora hearts) – like 80% complete coat needs a little piping round the sleeve tops, have trousers and shirt, need emily and a cravat, and maybe a cosplay partner, need to style the wig a bit, maybe also wear at alcon?

Enjolras (les mis) – modern version – again to do with ciasty’s combeferre at expo (got nearly everything for this I think? Possibly some little things to be added – and wig styling)

remake/improve

Hakkai (saiyuki) – shirt for this is now a bit small, might have a go at making the reload one acctually, I used my own hair before and probably still could but may see about that one

Chrono (chrono crusade) – again I’ve grown a bit since we did this but the jacket should still fit, mainly to improve this one need to get a proper wig, tasha made this for me ❤ both of these you should join me for again btw.
