The Epic Cosplay List!

Here's an epic list (Mainly for Brindle) Of all the Anime characters i hope to cosplay as someday ^_^

#1 Future Trunks.

Series: DragonballZ.

Character Bio: "Trained by the alternate timeline's Gohan, Future Trunks travels through time to seek help from Goku to prevent the Androids from ravaging the world, like they did in his dark future. Future Trunks is a loyal and uncompromising warrior, and can be slightly cocky at times. He inherited his mentor's do-or-die attitude, as well as his father's brash confidence (though he displayed less of it at different times; it was most on display in his fight against Frieza). He wields a sword of unknown origin and wears a Capsule Corporation jacket." (Taken from http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Future_Trunks )

Progress: WIP (Work In Progress) Jacket (Have), Undershirt (Have), Pants (need new ones), Boots (Need new ones), Belt (Needed), Sword (Half finished), Sheath (Have supplies), Sheath Strap (Have supplies).

Conventions: NON D: but Planned for Anime Vegas 2011!

Notes:

#2 Sebastian Michaelis.

Series: Black Butler.

Character Bio:  "The butler of the Phantomhive household. He is also part of the Noah's Ark Circus, where he goes by the stage name Black. Sebastian often describes himself through the phrase "I am one hell of a butler" (Taken from http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/Sebastian_Michaelis )

Progress: In planning process.

Conventions: Planned for Anime Fannatiku 2012

Notes: I'll be cosplaying as him with my very own Ciel! *tackle hugs my bestie*

Pic: 

#3 Pip Bernadotte.

Series: Hellsing.

Character Bio:  "Pip Bernadotte is a the leader of the group of mercenaries known as the Wild Geese. He is an ally of Hellsing and takes a particular interest in Seras Victoria. 

Pip is an average-heighted man with carrot-colored hair and freckles. He speaks with a French accent and is therefore widely considered to be French, although it is never exclusively disclosed. However, Hirano confirms him to be French in the back of volume 6's tankoubon, where it is stated that he is "French and loves boobs". Hirano also mentioned in a recent filler-chapter that he was of Swedish ancestry.

The Royal House of Bernadotte is the current royal house of Swedish, founded by one of Napoleon's marshals: Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte. One can assume that Pip was a Frenchman with Swedish connections, or vice-versa. An interesting fact is that the current Crown Princess of Sweden is named Victoria of Bernadotte.

Perhaps his most notable features are his eye patch and long braid. He usually wears a cowboy-style hat with the left side flap folded up; it has what appears to be an emblem of a Griffin on the front. Pip is also a compulsive smoker, and is shown with a cigarette in his mouth more often than not." (Taken from http://hellsing.wikia.com/wiki/Pip_Bernadotte)

Progress:  Unstarted

Conventions: Hopefully Anime Fannatiku AND Anime Vegas :D

Notes: Probably will be switched with my Avin cosplay, so i may be 19 By the time i cosplay as Pip, and Hopefully I'll have a Seras with me *tackle hugs bestie friend again*

Pic:

#4 Avin (Either Legend of Heroes: Tear of Vermilion or Dark Hollow Vampire Avin)

Series: Legend of Heroes or Dark Hollow.

Character Bio: 

LoH: "Avin (Age 17): The main protagonist. He sets out on a journey to find his sister Eimelle who has been separated from him for years. He has a short temper and is very impetuous, but is usually kept in check by his calm best friend Mile." 

DH: "Avin- Avin is a male vampire, He is a bit weird, Even besides the vampire thing. He defends his Friends and he kills those that bring his friends harm"  (I write that like...3 or 4 years ago so of course it sucked >W>)

Progress Unstarted.:

Conventions: Hopefully Anime Fannatiku and Anime Vegas.

Notes: I may be 19 by the time a do this costume Or i'd switch it around with my Pip cosplay. I believe at the end of the video game Avin is 18 or 19 XD so it's not th at bad.)

Trunks Cosplay! Work in Progress UPDATED March 1st

Well now i'm updating with pictures :3

My swords!

From Top to Bottom

#1 A wooden sword i made a long time ago, i might try to adapt into Trunks's sword

#2 My first HORRIBLE attempt at making a sword out of foam board. I know it sucks but it was a test >.>

#3 The blade of my second attempt at foam board for the blade. it's not perfect but it's good ^^ i'm going to coat it in a latex if i can so it will be rubberized and probably be stronger.

#4 The CPVC pole i used for the base of the sword, handle, pommel, and core of the sword.

Here's a better pic of the new blade. and the crappy one behind it XD

My wooden sword!

Anyway now on to the cool stuff :3  My Jacket, made by Pan Pan on cosplay.com

And last my boots!! Also made by Pan Pan, even though they don't fit i'll use the design on my own pair :3

Well that's all my updates for now! See ya

Anime Review: Dragonball!

Dragon ball review! Well I've been a big fan of dragonball z, since my dad showed it to me x3 when I was little. I always used to watch it on Toonami when I could and on Saturday morning cartoons. One of my favourite  characters of all time is Future Trunks, from his own saga, the android saga, and more that I can't remember ANYWAY um so yeah I like DBZ ^^ but now I have finally gone back and watched the original Dragonball!!!!!

Well first off the main story of this anime is Goku, a young but incredibly strong boy with a monkey tail is living in the mountains. Keeping an orange ball with four stars that his grandfather Gohan left him.  Then a city girl named Bulma shows up and tells Goku about the dragonballs. There are seven in total and once they're all gathered the eternal dragon shenron is summoned and grants a single wish.

(Above: Goku with his friends, Yamcha, Oolong, Puar, Master Roshi, and Bulma.)

Onto the series. I used to watch this on regular day-time TV. Which shocked me at the strange and somewhat pervertedness of the series OwO For instance at one point after Goku and Bulma have met, Bulma is sleeping in bed and comes up to sleep with her (NOT IN A BAD WAY) But he lays his head in her lap, looks confused, then proceeds to remove her underwear >.<  Then of course he yells and says the best line ever "Bulma! your balls are missing!!!" she of course thinks he's talking about the Dragonballs ><


Also the fact the Goku just drops his pants and pees wherever he is is rather amusing XD It's very amusing actually. So is Goku's patting of peoples crotches to find out if they're boys or girls XD


Anywho, i love this series now XD The Red Ribbon Army Saga was one of my favorites, as was the last World Martial Arts Tournament where everyone is Older and Goku's grown up.


I recommend this series if your looking for a fun, crazy, and somewhat perverted yet extremely innocent then watch Dragonball!.


Also i must say overly enjoyed myself watching these and learning the back stories to my favorite characters. Goku, Picollo, Krillin, and all the rest

Trunks Cosplay! Work in Progress UPDATED April 3rd

Well where to start >.> The good newz or teh bad newz DX Eh i'll get the bad out of the way.

My Trunks sword Ver 1 is kinda fail DX instead of the tactic i was gonna use (witht he nerf sword) wouldn't work, mainly cause of the cost of the Nerf Marauder Longsword. So we took a differen't approach. using Foamboard, CPVC, Duct tape, and cardboard XD Unfortunately i didn't think my first try through very well. the blades shape ended up a bit curvy and not shaped right, but i went with it,  i cut out several pieces of the Foamboard in the blades pattern. and i took three of them and  hotglued them together, then i took the remaining four and glued those together, it looked pretty bad but oh well :3

Then i hollowed out the four layered blade for the CPVC To go into. That actually worked pretty well. and i then glued both the blade pieces together. Then i tried shaping the blade >.> this is where it gets bad. I screwed it up :3 lol the blade is very curvy and looks pretty poor. So i said to hell with it and built the rest of it anyway, so i know how to build the rest without screwing up :3 i'll write up a WHOLE tutorial on it once i start my work over again.

On to the good stuff. I HAZ most of my costume :D The Jacket and Boots (even though they probably won't fit)  will be arriving in 2 or 3 days thanks to the awesome Pan Pan on cosplay.com.  

I also have the Tank top and Sweat pants. so now the only things left that i haven't started work on are the Belt, Sheath, and Sheath Strap. Also new boots if the ones i ordered don't fit. DX

Anyway now I'll just post a few pics here for references on my Trunks Sword XD I DON'T own these nor do i claim to.

Well that's all for now, bye!

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Trunks Cosplay! Work in Progress

Hiya! Me again XD writing up a quick, pretty much notes for myself on my Trunk's (Future Trunks from DragonBall Z) Cosplay for Anime Vegas this year. (and Halloween later this year)

Here are my three reference pics for this costume, just randomly found on google.

At first i was going to try and buy Trunk's Jacket off of a cosplay site, but it turns out that specific Jacket would have been too big for me. Then the other Jacket and Boot set i saw was put on hold *head desk* I sent the owner a message in case the other sale or whatever fall through but i'm not holding my breath.

The first and MAIN thing for this is i need to get in better shape >3> not to say I'ma fatty but i still didn't feel comfortable XD and i think by now I'll fit in the costume pretty comfortably, i'm not ripped but i think i can pull the costume off ^^

For the Jacket i was originally going to get a jean jacket and cut it to size, and add the patch and just use that, but thanks to my loving mother (>,>) she's offered to sew me a Jacket from some other material with a jean jacket pattern.

The undershirt and pants should be easy enough. Black or grey sweatpants, and a black tank for the undershirt.

That leaves the boots and, Belt, Sword and Sheath

The boots, well i'm trying to model them after these http://www.cosplay.com/marketplace/showproduct.php/product/38434/cat/fav
It looks to be very simple, Snow boots covered in yellow spandex and some added fake leather. I'll be searching Goodwill for some cheap snow boots and then i'll just buy the rest of the stuff from a fabric store or something ^^

The Belt and Strap for the sheath will be made from some webbing material (i think atleast >> my mum knowz it) that i can paint or even spray paint to the right colors.

The sword will be mainly foam, actually now that i think of it i could probably use a Nerf Sword and alter it... HMMMM :3 the sheath should just be cardboard, covered in colored duct tap ^^ should turn out pretty well.

Well that's all i have now! I'm going to put a list down there of what i need just so i can keep track.

1. Fabric for Jacket: Needed
2. Capsule Corp Patch: Needed
3. Jacket Pattern: Needed
4. Undershirt: Needed
5. Sweatpants: Needed
6. Snow Boots: Needed
7. Yellow Spandex for boots: Needed
8. Fake Leather: Needed
9. Material for Belt and Strap: Needed
10. Spray Paint or Fabric Paint: Needed
11. Nerf sword for base of sword: Needed
12. Cardboard: HAZ IT!
13. Colored duct tape: Needed
