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.

I'm tentatively going to put myself down for the male Ibis/Toki bird. I'm going to jazz the design up a little, but I think it's a beautiful design. :)

Sure, it would be cool to have you in the group. ^_^ The male ibis seems to wear a few outfits which differ from each other a bit so there shouldn't be any problem with you adding some touches of your own. And the color scheme is already up to you since there are only black and white references. If you need larger versions of the references or anything like that, let me know.

Ooh, I'd honestly love any (reasonable) amount of references/details you could give me of his various designs. (This is the third Mandarin-ish design I'm doing in a four months period... Kinda getting the hang of making some fancy frog clasps.)

[ladyofthethread.livejournal.com]

No problem. He only appears in one chapter so it's not that many pictures. I'll try to get them posted this weekend and will let you know when they're up. ^_^

*laugh* Nice to know I'm not the only one crazy enough to make my own frogs! I made my own for a couple of PSOH costumes but they were just simple designs.
