Leave me a comment saying speedsuit
I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
1- what's something you are looking forward to right now?
Super looking forward to Loveless phototimes this weekend, but more long term I'm looking forward to getting a job and getting the hell on up out of my parent's house for good.
2- what's something you do outside of cosplay that most might not know?
That most might not know? Um. I collect rubber duckies. Pretty much everything else I'm pretty vocal about (comics, video games, etc).
3- whats a dream place for you to live?
Hyrule Castle XD;
no seriously.
Actually there are these beautiful Victorian style homes in Santa Cruz on Westcliff drive right above the ocean that are just amazing. The most expensive properties I've ever seen though.
4- do you do any sports, or have ever been apart of any sports?
I was in gymnastics for several years when I was a kid. I also played little league baseball until I got pegged by a 60mi/hr pitch and decided that was NOT for me. I was a pretty awful fielder anyway.
5- is there something you always have wanted to do but haven't gotten to do it yet?
Go to Japan. Even if I'm no longer really a weeaboo I still want to go and see the sights and things. I've always been interested in the culture, plus I think going to a ComiKet would be amazing. To make the trip complete I'd make my pilgrimage to Nintendo HQ and bow at Shigeru Miyamoto's feet. Then I could die happy.
Also? Backstage at a Green Day concert. <3
And a last really far-fetched dream is I want to work on a Namco/Bandai Tales series game. I don't speak Japanese or anything so there's no chance of me ever getting hired to a Japanese production studio, but man that would be amazing...

Okay dudes, I need help. I'm been lurking in ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) corsetmakers and there's a lot of nice tutorials but I'm still having some kind of mental block about it. So my question is this: Have any of you sucessfully made a corset and would be willing to walk me through the process? I need some serious help on the whole process, from materials (minus boning, I know where to get that, but things like if it's okay to use duck for strength instead of coutil and save some money) to drafting, to the mock-up, to finishing. I need to make the following:
For Seraphim - Long-waisted underbust with a zipper front and sewn in cups. Also alternating color panels.
For Hippolyta - Overbust with an extra fashion layer on top for all the decoration. Closed front maybe? OR Underbust with sewn in "eagle" cup design. Not sure yet.
For everything else - Plain underbust underwear corset for cinching
I'm not asking for anyone to make this stuff for me, I just need a teacher and mentor and I can pay for your time with food and love =D I don't need this stuff done until, like, April but with all this work I'm gonna need to start in January. Please help me? ;.; *begs*

I worked my ass off yesterday (6 hrs straight in Photoshop) and this is the result. I'm so proud!

I think I've finally gotten the hang of this tablet thing, after 5 million years of having it.

First off, CWS is still looking for Color and Background Artists so please look here to make my life easier and get an internship =D
Second, I'm on a HUGE Tales kick and its not even for the ones I'm playing right now ._.; I swore up and down I wasn't going to do another lj rp but Ad Libitum looks kind of entertaining and they seem to have pretty exacting standards. AND both Zelos and Anise aren't taken. Neither is Guy. Do not know if want!
Portfolio site needs up this week then I send out resumes and such to companies. Nervous~ but excited. I want a job so I can get the hell on up out of my parent's house. Apartment want ;_;
Unf. I wanna rp >< Silly Kansas and its two hours ahead.

Tales of Symphonia - Presea |

SO
I may have mentioned previously that I have an internship at a game company. We're currently making a few things, but personally I'm working on a dating sim and we're DESPERATELY in need of a background artist and a color artist so I thought I'd ask my artist friends here.
If ANY of you are at ALL interested, here's a bit of information:
- The game does have sexual scenes and yes you will be coloring them if you want to be a color artist.
- The position is unpaid but has the possibility of becoming paid if the game takes off. However, it is considered an official internship (there's paperwork and everything) and can be used for college credit or resume/portfolio work.
- All business is conducted over the internet. That is, images are sent around via upload to a wiki or email, meetings are held over skype, and all other communication is via AIM or forums. It's all very convenient and requires absolutely no travel on your part.
If anyone here is interested, please contact me and I'll put you in touch with my boss... just as soon as I get AIM working again so I can find his SN ><;

Ok, so, have yet to hear back from silverxplayer about a room for YCon so I'm still not sure if I'm going. Which sucks 'cause I wanna get started on Mia. Yes, Mia from Phoenix Wright. I'm excited. I dunno what else to bring though, any suggestions? I dunno what else everyone's doing and I like to group <3 ( Here's my active costume list )
Second, I got recruited for an internship at CWS Software and I'm working on an exciting project <3 I'm not sure what else I can say under the non-disclosure agreement but I find it funny that I've tried to get the "anime" out of my art for so long and now they want me to draw as super shiny big-eyed anime as possible. It's awesome.
Third, who knows where to get gray vinyl or pleather in several different shades? I'll bake cookies for someone who can point me in the right direction.
All I can think to write. Later taters!

Just got back from Anime Destiny and even though I didn't get to leave my swap meet table all day it was made of fun and WIN! Met a lot of cool people, made some money (byebye ticket <3), and got to hang out with the awesome that is Li, Rhi, Shahni, and Soo. Chinese foods is delicious. So are blonde-turned-Hetalia jokes, rofl.
Speaking of Hetalia, anyone doing Hetalia Day in SF? It intrigues me. It's super close to Y-con though, so who knows.
And on Y-con, Rhi and/or Li, if you could remind me who needed a roomie I would appreciate it.
<3

I have been prompted to make a list of all the cosplay I want to do in future, so here it is. I'll be making as many of these as I can, some may just be idle plans, and some are just "lol wouldn't it be funny if" situations. ( read on )
There's a TON here and I know I forgot some I was talking about so if you remember, lemme know, Hitori =X

Final Fantasy VIII - The Oath (Orchestrated) |
] |
Back from SiliCon which didn't turn out as I planned but way better instead =P
The con itself was waaaaaaaaay smaller than I'd ever seen it. Even the panels only got a max of, like, 5 people generally. But, as always, I had much fun just hanging out, mostly with Dr. Noe, antieden, and praedestinatio. Ello and Hitori were dressed as characters from The Looking Glass Wars which I now wanna read. I tagged along with them to meet laragoth and her significant other (I'm pretty sure?) and for ziggybecket to take their pics. Dispite having no good place to shoot, I'd say the pics came out famously. Take a look!
I ended up staying at Hitori's house that night and we had fun times then and the next day just hanging out and going to look at fabrics and things for our ongoing projects (I got the dress/robe fabric for my Seraphim costume and now I know they have the buttons at JoAnne's if there's a problem with the interweb order). All in all, one of the best weekends I've had lately <3
This is also a SALE POST! I'll be selling a TON of anime/manga/scifi/etc junk at Anime Destiny this weekend, but I'm letting you guys have a preview of what's going to be there. If anyone wants pictures of stuff please let me know. If you're sure you want something, I can hold it for you until I see you next or ship it if you're willing to pay shipping. I need to get rid of it, but I'd much rather it go to good homes. Ask for prices or make an offer, either way.
( List of stuff below )
Man that's a ton of stuff... Now back to the drudgery of portfolio prep (meh).

Sailormoon S - Violin Medly (Uranus and Neptune) |

SiliCon this weekend.
Costumes:
Saturday: Rose Tyler - Dr. Who - Empty Child (with plain blonde wig because I don't like her crimped hair in that ep)
Sunday: Kaylee - Firefly - Pilot Episode: Serenity (not to be confused with the movie)
Doing a lot of panels this time around, should be fun.

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - The Breaking of the Fellowship |
] |
So it's been 2 weeks since Davey left and I'm not sure how I'm doing. I'm still functioning, I guess. I've been talking to people, I've been going out, but I still feel like there's a hole and I dunno if or when that's going to go away. (Imagine that being said in a matter of fact voice, not a complaining whine.)
SiliCon this weekend. Not sure what costumes I'm going to wear. Probably Kaylee and something else. Maybe sith Harley but that feels weird to wear without a matching sith Joker. Damn me and my penchant for pair costumes. Maybe I'll just do Rose Tyler instead, who knows. I never got pics of that costume.
Oh, I also went to see CalShakes' Midsummer Night's Dream last night. It was very good, 'scept the weird Disney Channel-esque closing dance number (yeah, dance number, wat?). My mom liked the ending, I don't think it fit how they performed the rest of the show. Eh. To each their own I guess.
Ok, I should stop procrastinating and go paint.
EDIT: Forgot to add that I got Left 4 Dead today on Steam. It's only $15 right now so if you don't already have it and want it for the PC, I don't see it getting any cheaper. And if anyone does have it and wants to put up with me being a noob and learning the game, feel free to message me on Steam. User name: Kimaera

Best thing I read on 4chan's /co/ tonight:
" I'm not sure I could ever 'do' Harley, I mean I wouldn't be able to stop thinking 'The Joker has been here before, I hope he didn't leave anything...' "
