So this weekend was the weekend I realized, "Shit, Dragon*Con is only four months away and I have ONE out of SIX costumes completed!"
(TWO out of SEVEN if I bring my
Little Sister costume! :D)
(THREE out of EIGHT if you count the Stand by Me boys -- but that's a white t-shirt and jeans!)
And the only reason one is completed is because it was a costume I wore last year:
Peter McVries. BIG HEARTS.
As for the other five...
SHMI SKYWALKER (dead/zombified): I'm waffling on this one because there is a good one or two characters I'm thinking I might want to try my hand at instead, but I'm not sure yet... this is why I haven't started this costume yet.
MAID MARIAN: I have the nightgown and I have a pair of slippers to shuffle around in. But you know in the movie
Pee Wee's Big Adventure where Pee Wee saves all the animals from the burning pet store and he keeps passing the snakes and sneering at them and procrastinating with them? That's me with
this cloak. "I'M SEW HIAPPY~!"
ELLIOT REID: I haven't done anything with this because I have no idea if we're still doing it or not. XD (ARE WE? :OOOO)
TENEL KA: I wanted to do a sort of effed up hybrid of ROYAL OVERDONE GOWN/ARMOR OF DOOM. But I have this idea floating in my head of a dress. It's dark blue and all queenly and shit. But the idea for the cloak/capelet thing I have going in my head is gonna kick ass if I can get it to work... so I think QUEENLY DRESSAGE OF DOOM will be what I bring. It'll match KYLE'S ROYAL ALLANA <333 -- and hopefully be fun with Ben's/Caedus/Jaina's, etc. XD I'll most likely bring
the Tempest cover TK as a backup as well.
LISEY LANDON: OH LISEY. I sat down to start work on this over the weekend and I kind of stared at it. Cause my first order of business is to turn the picture under the cut below into a garland I can basically wear like a boa that reflects the floral fucking awesomeness of
BOO'YA MOON. And it will be slow and tedious but it must be done cause omg.
( They are just sitting on the table like this like, LOL GLUE ME YOU STUPID TWERP. )So that's where I stand. Four months. Less than four months. :O
