Petshop of Horrors group for Anime Boston or AnimeNext?

[ladyofthethread]

A few months back, I asked if anyone were interested in doing a Petshop of Horrors group sometime but there weren’t any definite plans made. But novaraven (who has also cosplayed D plus his father and grandfather) is now working on plans to come down from Canada for Anime Boston so I thought it might be a good time to try for a group. She’s also making the 19th Century D outfit so we’re going to be confusing and wear our versions together as D and his grandpa. :-D Plus, she should have a Leon with her and possibly a Pon-Chan.

Currently, there are no plans to do a skit or the hall contest together but we were talking about applying for cosplay chess and I’m sure we’ll do pictures at some point. ^_^ If you’d like to join us, let me know. See the links for reference pics or if you want to look at the whole album: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v342/LadyoftheThread/psoh%20reference/. We can also try to have a smaller group for AnimeNext if people are interested since I know at least one person isn’t able to make AB.

Count D – myself (although I can also wear his sister’s dress for a while if someone else would like a turn playing D)
D’s grandfather –novaraven
D’s father –
D’s sister –
Leon –novaraven’s friend
T-Chan (totetsu) – kiwi_lady is going to do T-Chan for AnimeNext but probably won't be able to make AB ;_; 
Pon-Chan (racoon) – novaraven's friend if she comes
Honlon (3-headed dragon) – a couple of people are interested in this although I don't have a definite yet
Ten-Chan (9-tailed fox) – bloodied_tears
Medusa (basilisk) – heartxofxlilith
P-Chan (bird of pardise) – Lilly from cosplay.com
Alice (rabbit) –
Keirin (kirin) –
Eva (mermaid) (obviously this one needs some modifications so you don’t get kicked out of the con if anyone wants to do it ^_^;;;) –
Suioh (phoenix) –
Alex (vampire) –
Norma (vampire) –
Dreizehn (doberman) –
Toki birds –jezeroth is tentatively doing the male ibis; the female bird has not been claimed
Mellow (digital fish) –
Pandora (Maine coon cat) –
Tina (jaguar) –
Butterfly – 
Sohki (kirin) (Sohki is actually from Genju no Seiza, another of Matsuri Akino's manga, but he goes to visit D in a bonus story in one of the Genju no Seiza volumes)– 

If anyone wants to do something I didn’t list, let me know and I’ll add it in. I omitted a bunch of the little kid characters with less interesting designs, pets we never saw human versions of, and stuff from the sequel since I didn’t think anyone would be likely to want to do those. Also, there are a lot of pets that only appear as background characters (you can see a few in the pic with Norma) and a few that are only in artbook pictures or extra illustrations. (I think the lolita catgirls are cute but D needs nicer clothes in that picture. Ripped cobweb patterned stuff and a bondage collar is so out of character. O_o;;) 


And, jumping to a somewhat related topic, I got the collar for the new costume finished. I ended up appliquéing the trim along the edges and I think it came out pretty well. ^_^ Need to work on the main robe next.

As you know I am considering Anime Boston. Of the 3 Petshop costumes making, you already have 2 (Medusa & D). If I can come, I will focus on the 3rd - Honlon. I will have to see if can find any colored pictures, since all my references are black & white.

Ah, I didn’t know you were also working on Medusa and Honlon costumes. The person doing Medusa commented above that a friend of hers might be interested in Honlon but she had to check. ^_^; I’m not sure what others think but personally, I don’t mind duplicates. I think multiple D’s would be kind of funny since they’re sort of like clones and I have his sister’s dress which I could wear for a while.

Hmm… As far as I know, there’s no color reference of Honlon since she’s not in any of the artbook pics/cover illustrations. I think there’s only what’s in the manga.

Oh, and if you can make it, there might be a Twelve Kingdoms group, too. :-) Novaraven was planning to make Youko and Keiki costumes for herself and her boyfriend. If she gets them finished by AB, I’m going to try to bring my nyosen uniform.
