Probably about time I got around to it...
May. 20th, 2008 06:30 pmOver the weekend, I finally made an account at American Cosplay Paradise:
http://www.acparadise.com/acp/display.php?a=49973 Still working on getting everything uploaded and set up since I have 5 years worth of costumes. But I like the fact you can post larger photos since I tend to be fond of tiny details that wouldn’t show up in little pictures. I’ve been putting up larger ones when I have them and might go back and replace some of my brother’s older shots with large versions if I can get them. Have a few pictures up there that I didn’t bother to put on cosplay.com, too. I also like that you can move around the order of your costumes and photos since it means I can just upload everything for a costume and then mess around with it until it’s to my liking. :-D
Maybe, I’ll be better at updating this since I can just write a couple of paragraphs for a costume and stick all my pictures up at once. I take so long to update my cosplay.com gallery since I feel like I have to come up with something to say about each photo (because I personally find it disappointing to click on a picture and see a completely blank description box). Plus, coming up with titles and planning out some order in advance since the most recent photo ends up being the thumbnail for an album. I haven’t been fond of the change to square thumbnails either. My head seems to get cut off in most pictures and I’ve found browsing through the galleries unappealing lately because other people’s photos get messed up in the same way. >_>
Hmm… only a month until AnimeNext so I should start thinking about what to bring since I haven’t got any big costumes to debut this time.
novaraven tells me she’s expecting to come and make Pegasus for this. So, it looks like we should be doing YGO sometime Saturday and I have a poofy blue dress with pink bows to sew.
heartxofxlilith and
kiwi_lady, are you still planning Medusa and T-Chan for Next? I’m definitely bringing my newest D outfit with the tailcoat but could also bring the 19th Century outfit or one of my older Ds if you want. Novaraven is thinking about bringing D’s father and her sister might be along as a griffin so we could do a little PSOH group.
Otherwise, I don’t know what I’m doing. I’d love to do Kaleido Star with
neoangelwink sometime but not sure if she’s planning to bring Sora to Next. Maybe, I could finally bring out my Youka costume again if I have time to remake the sash after finishing Cecelia. Probably should have done that last week but instead I did this:

I stitched the Butterfly Needle Roll from a kit by Lorri Birmingham Designs. ^_^ I’ve had the kit sitting around a long time. I think it was from the last needlework con I went to so it predates my cosplaying days! ^_^;;;
