Upcoming costumes
Apr. 20th, 2008 11:14 pmStayed home this weekend and did a little work on my new Count D outfit. Still have to sew the outer layer and lining together as well as make the collar and add most of the trim. The trim is definitely going to take longest since I’m handsewing it on like usual. Hopefully, I can finish this by Sakura Matsuri so I can take pictures at the botanic garden. ^_^

And I’ve figured out what Yu-Gi-Oh cosplay I’m going to do with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
novaraven and her friends for AnimeNext! It’s a pretty obscure costume and I don’t know if anyone has ever done it before. (Although that could be said for a lot of YGO stuff since there are hundreds of random minor characters and monsters. :-P I guess that statement can apply to a lot of my cosplays, too, since I often seem to like the appeared in one episode/chapter/illustration outfits more than default costumes. ^_^;) Anyone want to take a guess what character it is? :-D
To help get into the mood to do YGO stuff again, I’ve pulled out my copy of Duelists of the Roses. (Haven’t done anything with that fandom for so long. ^_^;;) I got the game 2-3 years ago when I first bought my PS2 but ended up just shoving it into the TV cabinet since I couldn’t seem to get the hang of the weird dueling method. It involves a grid and you have to move monsters around to actually attack. And it’s further complicated by things like different terrain being favorable or unfavorable to certain types of monsters. I think the games that used the real card game rules were actually much easier to play and this one goes kind of slowly due to the moving around the board factor. I think I’ve finally gotten it though and made some progress in the game.
Even if the game’s premise was kind of random (War of the Roses with YGO characters), it would have been fun to see better pictures of everyone in their medieval outfits. Other than Yugi and Kaiba, it looks like everyone just got little portraits that only show the face and shoulders. (Of course, it's a nutty cosplayer like me that wants to see the full outfits. :-P)
