ladyofthethreadUgh, today hasn’t been the greatest day. Woke up and noticed that my right thumbnail was cracking horizontally around the end of the fingertip. Normally, it wouldn’t matter too much to me but I’m not pleased since MangaNext is in two weeks and I need my nails to be long for my Count D cosplay. -_-; He changes clothes so often that the long nails, along with the hairstyle and dark lipstick, are probably the most recognizable elements of the costume. I had thought about fake nails before but I never remember those sticking very well. Bah, at least, it’s the hand that’s going to be covered by the glove. I suppose I could claim I broke it trying to clean out Leon’s filthy apartment… (D broke a nail in the manga that way and was freaking out over it!)
And now, I think I might be catching a cold. >_< Possibly from my sister who was home sick yesterday. Not good when I’ve still got so much to do on this costume and need to sort out jewelry for my artist’s alley table within the next 2 weeks.
Dress: need to finish painting fabric for the back, cut the lining, and actually sew everything; plus, figure out how to do the ornament at the neck, might need to get more supplies for that
Glove: not even started, need to make a pattern and actually sew it
Wig: Done but might get some touchups
Makeup: purchased already
Shoes: need to be bought; you can’t see them in that pic so I suppose I could get away with wearing my black pumps if I don’t have time to find flat slippers like Count D usually wears. >_>;
Q-Chan plushie: probably about 70% finished at the moment; need to finish sewing it
Bird prop: probably won’t be done for MangaNext since I don’t know how I’m going to make it and don’t have materials yet
T-Chan plushie: probably won’t be done by then either because I’ve got the clothes to finish and I haven’t been able to find shaggy orange fur other than little 9”x12” panels -_- He’s not actually in the picture but, like Q-Chan, I wanted to have him since he’s one of the more recognizable animals from the series.
