i•ka•su•ze! cosplay site updates continue

Welp, I’ve been adding content to the site like a CRAZYwoman. All of my costumes are now online except Kefka (uweee heee hee saving the best for last) and almost all of Cachalot’s are online as well. I think we are waiting on Shadow and Cid.  And the photoshoots, or at least one of them, is on track to go online by early weekend.

Here’s a list of the costumes online now—

Cachalot’s costumes:

  • Osaki Nana
  • Tifa Lockhart
  • Suboshi

DancingMad’s costumes:

  • Byzantine Angel
  • Baaya
  • Mozenrath
  • Judge Q
  • Fancy Toph
  • Tasuki

But both of us have been sick the past few days so forgive us for the lag! m(_ _)m We’re doing the best we can.  It’s a miracle I’m sitting upright right now honestly xD

Oh, and we’ve decided on the second of our two cosplay groups for 2011. I am so excited I am about to ASPLODE.  I am going to wait on announcing  it because it’s still a new idea and people might change their minds, but I think it’s really going to happen!! (But, ehm, it’s in the tags if you are super curious…)

We are doing three total groups for 2011, but the third one is all original characters, so I hesitate to call it cosplay ;)   But yea, we’re booked through now to 2011 for costumes and already have an idea for 2012.  WE ARE CLEARLY INSANE!

But you knew that ;D

Bless me, lady luck

The gods of cosplay are fickle creatures! I managed to scrape together a trenchcoat for Tasuki in about 2 weeks, the thing was all basted together for Halloween, but boy am I unhappy with how it is holding together thus far.  Some things are just IMPOSSIBLE without a second pair of hands and/or a dress form, and adjusting custom-made pauldrons on a from-scratch trenchcoat is DEFINITELY one of them.  I think Cachalot and I are due to have a dress-form-making party. (DESHOU???)

I have neglected to post here lately and I apologize XD Halloween ate up so much of my time — as any good cosplayer knows, it’s basically a great time to test-run stuff for upcoming cons — and now that the flurry of pre-Halloween activity is down, I have time to do other important stuff, like, oh, I dunno, finish the ikasuze! website that I’ve neglected?  It’s going to be awesome once it’s done, we’ll have tons of photos and notes about costumes as well as some tips and how-tos.  But I just need to finish coding the damn thing!  Sorry Cachalot xD

Tasuki’s trenchcoat is an ongoing effort that will take a lot of effort to fine-tune.  But new projects always keep me going and I’m very excited about my 2010 costumes: Temari from Naruto (her ” semi-kimono” or 2nd look) and LeBlanc from Final Fantasy X-2!  I’ve been hitting the gym a lot just to get in better shape for these outfits, especially LeBlanc.

AI YI YI. I’d better keep going with those crunches!!
