Try the forums on cosplay.com for a how to on plushie making.......since I don't know the first thing about them. I usually ask my friend for advice with plushies but she's on vacation now.

Hemuloki-sama

You know, when everything adds up and things are done, if you make your own soul collectors, you can probably save money.

http://images.cosplay.com/showphoto.php?photo=106157&password=&sort=1&size=medium&cat=6727&page=10 Here, this is my broken one at the tip used by my friend that came along with us to our recent con. Mine is to my chest, which isn't saying much since I'm short but that's about it. As for the lion he...

Hemuloki-sama

I personally don't like using such flimsy things as tools since people usually pay me around $50 to make such props. My partner, Yotan, and I had a disagreement a while back when she wanted to make her Gilder gun from a fake one she bought at the dollar store but I thought it looked cheap (Yes, I'm ...

Hemuloki-sama

I would use red crush velvet since I saw how my friend's Gilder jacket looks like used with it and I personally like it. As for the gold trim, either sew the thing on with gold embroidery or you can get fabric paint and hope it comes out.

Hemuloki-sama

Hm? What's the question?

Hemuloki-sama

You can use celluclay....sculpy....whichever...

Hemuloki-sama

It really wasn't a big deal...

Hemuloki-sama

Alright, I know that someone here on these forums has used this before so they can tell you what exactly they used. But this simple problem can be solved by using a system that will keep the dress up. I forget what to use exactly but using this will give it a frame and keep everything up and stretch...

Hemuloki-sama

I didn't really want to give off a name but you can read it in Ideas/Pictures: My Friend Needs Help...

I just gave my own opinion based off my own experiences since I find it hard to finish a costume I'm doing just on request to be in a group and something that's not my own idea.

Hemuloki-sama

Well, get a better computer but unless you're on the move or in college, you really will never need a laptop. Now when you can't see the true colors of things, that's when a change is in order.

Hemuloki-sama

Oh...alright *comes back slowly* I don't really like offending anyone here....well, unless they ask for it!

Hemuloki-sama

*chokes* They aren't worth it, don't get the laptop! I would rather have my clunky old Dell computer that held much more space and didn't crash every other two days compared to this heap of expensive junk! *kicks laptop* But thank you for the compliment, Kohyoh! You make me blush! :oops: But I never...

Hemuloki-sama

Um, have I offended you? >.> <.<

I didn't mean to if I did...but that's good that you do have a two piece....and all that...*runs away* EEP!

Hemuloki-sama

Dude, those shoes are everywhere, you just gotta look. I used that picture just because I can't describe the shoe enough for the actual purpose. Using that picture will give her an idea of which shoe I'm talking about that will look good with a simple Mistress Nine costume.

Hemuloki-sama

I really don't understand why you're actually starting out with a one-piece dress! First off, Mistress Nine's dress in both the manga and anime look like two pieces that are actually two different colors. For the manga, the top is a navy blue and the bottoms are a white but in the anime, the top is ...

Hemuloki-sama

Tell me about it...especially when Sephiroth jumps over you and does this high pitched "Woo!"

Hemuloki-sama

My computer broke down again and then the day before I was so tired I didn't really feel like answering any of the replies. Anyway, I tend not to bulk order on witchwigs mostly because I don't use that site very often only when I'm looking for something specific. Take for example, both the white wig...

Hemuloki-sama

You don't really kill him, he just kinda disappears...it's a Disney game, hello! They would never allow you to actually kill someone! That's why Disney games always have sequels so easily, no one dies in them. But Sephiroth is aggrevating too because of how they gave the voicing job to Lance Bass. I...

Hemuloki-sama

The bead thing is probably the earring. There are three ways to doing it:

-Buy one from someone that is selling it. Ebay is a wonderous thing for us Naruto cosplayers.
-Make it yourself from plastics or wood.
-Find some things at a crafts store that look like the pieces and paint over them.

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, consider how my stepdad feels whenever I give him a bulk order to do for Amphigory? At least you can get bulk order discounts at Witchwigs but I can never wait so long as to actually get that many....I wish I could but then deadlines are always a bummer and I wouldn't be able to finish some in ...

Hemuloki-sama

For some reason, after about 50 tries for me, I got him. Nowadays, I can beat him in a half an hour....stupid life bars.

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, I would do her Songstress one any day

Hemuloki-sama

I just double-checked both sites for you:

Amphigory:
Credit Cards
Money Orders

Witchwigs:
Credit Cards
Money Orders
Checks

Hemuloki-sama

You know, Final Fantasy X-2 really did a horrible job making sure that all their colors were consistent with each other. Rikku's changes a lot from picture to picture so I'll just be going with what I prefer. For my sake and for reference wise, I'll start from top to bottom. Hair : If you want to tr...

Hemuloki-sama

Um, don't say every way when all there really was was just an added scene at the end. Both endings are the same but there's that extra and that's it. You didn't even need to do much to get the special extra either. As for you Kohyoh, there are currently three unknown known to the Kingdom Hearts genr...

Hemuloki-sama

Just for your information, Local Party Shops and Halloween Shops are in the same game. Both supply only low quality wigs. If you find one differently, wow, you might as well enter the lottery because you're lucky and might win. In my opinion, which I realize now is highly appreciated, I would go and...

Hemuloki-sama

It shouldn't be since the Red Haired unknown actually has double circle like weapons and those aren't keyblades.

Hemuloki-sama

Lenne's skirt thing and Yuna's are the same so either costume will be interchangable with Yuna or Lenne. Only the hair, makeup, necklace, and earrings are different.

For the Rikku songstress? That one requires more skill since you're working with gradients.

Hemuloki-sama

Halloween shops always produce crappy wigs. There are no exceptions to this unless you actually go to a store where they sell wigs that have been turned in previously by another person but even then, the chances of getting a high quality wig is uber uber low. But even if you do find a wig that is of...

Hemuloki-sama

Yes, finally a Lenne costume!! Woop! I have a few things to tip about since I'm going to make this costume and I want to see it done right! By the way, this is the advise you get when you have someone looking at 7 pictures all from different angles and going through all the fmvs where the Songstress...

Hemuloki-sama

Alright, I was just wondering about that because I've been through tons of incidents where I almost cut my fingers off and I'm not a clumsy person at all. So the thought of an 8 year old working the same things I did is a bit scary.

Hemuloki-sama

I'd like to see a picture of that because an 8 year old using powertools and hand cutters? Hmmm, I would like to see how brilliant this boy is.

Hemuloki-sama

Hm, Oh!! I wasn't meaning you, Sakura dear! Some other people don't like using amphigory because it's so expensive and because they think that the wigs they get from a halloween shop are just as good. *pets head* I understand more than you do about how expensive wigs are and Amphigory's range of sty...

Hemuloki-sama

Alright, I see now. Well, the Cloud wig will be just like the Tidus wig in some respects as you'll need a Femme Fatale wig there too. You can start with the Cleo but I didn't need to. Well, you would cut accordingly to the right sections, put some bangs in over the eye just a little and then create ...

Hemuloki-sama

If you want to look at another wig's for a visual support, I would use Little Star's from cosplay.com. Her wig and axe are both great and accurate.

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, I was looking at the picture and then I looked at my Lulu wig and I was like, "Oh, those are two different lengths!" But yea, the Lulu wigs usually don't even reach the chin or are on just the border unless you have a very small face and Subaru's looks like it reaches her mid-neck. If you strai...

Hemuloki-sama

Hmmm, Tidus' wig is more of an advanced one...I would start with a Femme Fatale wig in the Fiesty color and then cut it so that you can see the sort of Tidus style going on there. Be sure to leave lots of room for the spikes as they might take up more fiber than you expected. Now, this is where you ...

Hemuloki-sama

Wings never really have to be made to be on the back even with costumes that technically have no backs and people still don't like the idea of straps. Is this costume the Subaru one too? If so, I would look at Cosplaylab.com and look for the cosplayer Dia for ideas on those wings. She recently did a...

Hemuloki-sama

Ah, finally someone that I don't have to rant on about how amphigory is so good! Well, I looked at a picture of Subaru and I figured after staring at it long enough that the Lulu would actually be a bit too short for a proper Subaru and wouldn't give you all the fiber you need to recreate that fluff...

Hemuloki-sama

The way I look at an overly expensive wig is how many styles I can produce off of it after the initial style. Most of wigs never stay the same for very long and I really only stop using them when they get too dark for a specific shade.

What wig are you getting?

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, if you want her hair to turn out right with the curled tips turned towards the cheeks, then you'll need at least a wig that can stand up to heat. I'll look around for less expensive wigs but the quality will go down the cheaper they get.

Hemuloki-sama

*nods*

Hemuloki-sama

Not necessarily, Seras' Halcannon from Hellsing wasn't very weird or funny looking. It was just a long cannon.

But Gippal's is funny! http://members.shaw.ca/dressphereart/othersart1.htm Check it out

Hemuloki-sama

A-kon is definitely a two day con! Most of the big names in cosplay go there with totally awesome costumes but they wear them on Saturday, the night of the Masquerade!

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, Gippal from Final Fantasy X-2 really has a big cannon thingy...it's weird and big.

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, sometimes even with the machine, you just wanna do it yourself.

Where ya going?

Hemuloki-sama

You know, it's really strange that everyone here calls me "Sama" and not "Hemuloki" or "Hemu". I just have been noticing that a lot lately, all these "samas" and I was like "Ohhh....I'm loved" :oops: But yea, let's hope this guy replies back with a response so that we can figure out just what he's t...

Hemuloki-sama

Bah! I never wanted to spend that much money on an embroidery machine (even though I do it on most of my costumes) so I just do it by hand. I would suggest buying a machine if you don't have all the time in the world as embroidering is horribly time consuming even if what you're doing is simple! But...

Hemuloki-sama

Yea, but as I said, leave yourself room for the seams and don't forget to compensate for space if the clothes are stretchy. For my Dita jacket, I had to use a weird stetchy black hooded dress thingy but I forgot to add in the extra space and ended up wasting about three yards of uber expensive fabri...
