Attack on My Life!

Remade Erens shirt and completed deh sash.

Both were a lot of fun to construct.

I am in love with my new shirt b/c this time i chose some better fabric. More stretch and it breaths very very well! Also, i used the right needle this time xP it is super comfy to wear. I slept in it the night before meeting our AOT group for fanime and was soooo cozy!

The jackets are 99.5% done. All Mikasa and I are waiting for is our patches for the back to arrive.

 I am very very proud with how far i have flown with my sewing abilities.

Annoyance Among Cosplayers

Ok. I have had it. 

If one person gives me or anyone else shit about their costumes, how they appear, their pose, even FACIAL expressions! I"M GONNA BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!

What set this off?

simple.

while surfing a site for cosplay pics, i came across tons of negative comments regarding an AOT pic.

The comments just bugged me. 

All people could say were negative things like: 

"You're not saluting right"

"You're body language is wrong"

"Levi's too happy here"

GIVE IT UP!!

People. We do this for fun.

(yes, i am aware that many of this is hitting at things I have said in the past. At least i know it. and i will work on it).

 When people start taking it too seriously, no one is having fun and that could hurt peoples chances of ever wanting to go to conventions or gatherings again. 

And is that what you want?

People mention the negatives because it is the easy way of expression. 

That is BS!

MY mission, no matter who i meet or character i come across, i'll spread words of encouragement.

And i swear. If I see or hear ANYONE giving someone else a bad time, I'll walk over, say "excuse me" and take that person away from that negativity. Or even better, i'll tell the person off!

And in regards to me playing Eren. 

I'm doing this because i want to.

For fun and love of series.

If you do not like how i choose to play him that is YOUR problem not MINE.

Take a Break!

From AOT, huh? =)

My Rave Master Elie Tom-pah Blasters are about 98% finished!

All i have to do now is use black fabric paint to cover up some stitches and make the holder for them and attach it to my belt!

Sutffies used to create these consist of:

PVC pipe

PVC pipe caps and rings(i actually had no need for the ring b/c i made other rings from the caps. I had my dad cut a bit off),

thick black foam

rubber bands and string

mixture of acrylic red paint

Gesso paint (white)

Modge-Podge

Power Grab glue

black fabric paint

and "Rust-Oleum"- Crystal Clear Enamel - spray polish for the final touch

Character

I usually do not approve of wearing make-up b/c it always makes my face feel as if i am wearing wights on my face. However, my friend aka Mikasa, always blows my mind away with her creation. 

Jackets are close to done!

I also have been working on character development for Eren. His character is very difficult to get into.

I've read and seen a lot of people portray Eren as the emotion "anger". Yet to me, i want to go deeper than that. Because he is not soul set angry. He has moments when he's annoyed, nervous, excited, encouraging ect. He is more than just plain angry. Ex. episode five before he gets eaten, he tries to cheer Armin up. Another ep, he smiles at little kids who are admiring the survey corps from a window. Or another, in the earlier eps, he appears really nervous after hearing Sasha talk back to their superior or when she steals the meat.Sure they are characters on paper, however to bring them to life on stage or at a convention, you have to give them a whole new form. They have shape on a page now give them shape in reality.This is my take on it, "my design" as it were.=) This has helped me understand and get deeper into this role. And I feel as if I am almost there. I want to pull off a great Eren. I want people to look at me and see Eren. Believing that this really is Eren. I want to capture that feeling. Like the feeling you get when you meet Disney characters. You feel that they are real.I really want to make people happy at the panel. I want to bring an outstanding Eren to life for them...i'm not sure i can pull this off...but i'm gonna do it. I may not have the answer, only going off advice and tips may not being enough to cut it, "but i've got more guts than anyone. And that is my weapon".  

please rain again....

I like sewing when it's raining....

ANyWaYs

These were taking with new make-up tests!

More progress has been made! I have re-made the collars, new epaulets and have started working with the sleeves. 

             

            

I made the new epaulets out of the first collars i constructed. The collars needed to be remade b/c they were not long enough to fit. The new ones are longer and a tad taller. Putting the collar on was interesting. You basically insert the neck of the jacket between the two pieces of the collar. I've seen it done before yet never tried it till recently. It can be a bit painful...

                         

The ending is quite fab!

Mikasa also wanted her scarf to be darker so i dipped that into a bucket of dark brown dye. Might do it again yet i'll see what she thinks. 

Now add the sleeves, pockets and patches!

WINNING AUDITION!!

2014 Sac Con

I met three new, funny, amazing people and can't wait to see them again!!

Everyone was working on a project of some kind and it was really cool cause this whole time the atmosphere was light and fluffy! stuff would mess up and there would be laughter!

The con was very wet! There was a sudden down pour and everyone had to hi-tail it inside and it was PACKED! Literally. There was no place to chill except a corner in the rest-rooms!

But over all, it was fun!!

"When can i see you again?

when can we do this again?

When i can i see you again"?

Haru and Elie

EH! I'm not one for doing pics on the computer!

But i miss this past weekend....it was tons of fun <3

I have such confusing feels about this! D8 / 8D
