Otakon 2010
Aug. 4th, 2010 08:53 pmOtakon was overall a pretty good con for me this year. Insanely tiring but good. It went by really fast but most likely because I was doing a lot.
( Super duper long report ahoy! )

Commission: White Mage
Jul. 5th, 2010 06:41 pmFinished the FFXI White Mage Artifact commission. First off I'd like to note that the customer asked for several alterations which is why it may not look quite like the original design. He wanted the flaps to be shorter so thus I had to make the designs on those parts smaller to fit. He also didn't want the hat, shoes, or gloves. And he wanted the pants to be more like sweatpants with the leg warmers sewn directly on.
He has a really small waist according to his measurements so the belt there is actually only pinned on as it won't fit on my dressform. A little nervous about that as I'm worried either his measurement may have been off a little or if I made the belt too tight even though I added a whole bunch of extra inches to it. :/ I have leftover material to the side in case I have to make him a new one. Already prepared for that.
I know I got it slightly wrong there with the fact the front panel should be a little higher up as the edges aren't supposed to show like that at the top but I somehow got my calculations wrong when making it. n_n; The customer doesn't seem to mind though at least.
And the pants + leg warmers
Also I meant to post this a while back but forgot to. I finally got a chance to play around with resin.
( Here's the result )

Feb. 4th, 2010 11:51 pmFinished another commission. This one to be delivered in person at Katsucon.
Anubis/Shuten from Ronin Warriors/Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (which btw was the anime that made me go from "watcher of some anime" to "anime fan" lol so was pretty happy to do this one)
( And here's some Chopin progress while we're at it )
So next is to finish up all the last few sewing details on Chopin, make all the bling and what have you, work on the sword, and start on Vincent. Going to be a long week.

Chopin Progress
Jan. 22nd, 2010 09:31 pmProgress as of this morning:
The front, which is kinda boring at the moment.
( More )
And I'm now working on the "collar" thingy that goes on top of the capelet. Then gotta put all the embroidery on that piece. Make the cuffs and finish the sleeves. Put the buttons on the jacket. ...then make all the bling. @_@;
Though I think this weekend I have to force myself to take a break from it and work on some of the other stuff for a bit. At least get it ready so I can work on that after work each night. Going to be hard as I want to work on this non-stop. >>;;

Lyn: 0 Costume: 500
Jan. 19th, 2010 09:51 pmHahahahaha...I think this costume is defeating me. x_x
First I spent the last few days trying to find these stupid pieces that are normally EASY to find but just because I need them now...I suddenly couldn't find them anywhere! o_o; Finally got them but not quite the ones I was looking for. -_- And I swear it will all show up once the costume is done.
Then I was sewing up the lining. Huge crazy step for this costume as the way I did it is insane and omg the lining was intense.
But I got it on. Fixed up all the messy parts. It's beautiful. It's wonderful.
...it's backwards.
*headdesk*
Well only the capelet is but still. *takes out seam and cries*
...goddamnit how did I even do that? XD /fail
Edit: Hey Ling! The coat flares out after all. XD
