Good to know.
You know, I think you see the best in people. Thats not a bad thing.You know I kind of am too.
Chalk it up to I'm too sweet to creep on?
Or is that slowly disappearing?
Got any WIP on the Bayonetta?
Aw, thanks! I do tend to always hope for the best in people.You know, I think you see the best in people. Thats not a bad thing.
Got any WIP on the Bayonetta?
Um....not so much.
I'm being REALLY picky about how I look in that costume. And as confident as I am in my body, I know there's room for improvement, so until then, Bayo just sits and stares at me. I have been working on the smaller details (like her earrings, her glasses, the wig - DAT HAIR!) and should post pic's of those!
I can get behind that.You may!
I like the way this world is shaping up. @Emrys of course will have free reign with her Doomies.
K, I will get on that! Hopefully I can have a lot of updates by this coming weekend, so you all can have a pic spam!
And thank you. =^^= I just want to do my best to the character justice and I feel I'm not in the proper shape to do that, but I am doing it for myself, which is probably a good thing.

My trouble is that I'm no where near that tall!! Freaking giant woman! My heels for this costume are 5 1/2 inches tall with a 2 inch platform. They're quite the shoes...
I'm sure you look great as it is, but you're the one putting yourself out there. I don't think anyone should have a problem with you wanting to do all you can to match your vision of the character.
Side note: There's a Rooster Teeth video of Burnie and Monty Oum doing a playthrough of Bayonetta - and even Monty freakin Oum points out how ridiculous some of the action sequences are.

Oh, yeah, that game is utter insanity. And I completely love it
But for me, that is a one of the best things about cosplay - figuring out how on earth to take an out of this world character and recreate them in real life. Bayo is pushing my skill level hardcore and I couldn't be happier. I'm having to do some...interesting things to make it.

Remember to make the costume so a) you still have freedom of movement, and b) you can still breathe.I'm having to do some...interesting things to make it.

Especially #2. I'd hate to hear you ended up in a hospital because you passed out.
I think you'd end up in the hospital from a fall in those heels! 5 1/2 inches? Yeesh....

I'm surprised more of the "skin tight" cosplays don't use neoprene wetsuits more... they corset in all the right places while still covering (and not showing nipple through the fabric). Of course, I guess it might be because they don't take kindly to having holes cut in them, and I guess being on a hot convention floor in one for 8 hours is probably a lot more... sweaty.. than rolling down a was-recently-snow river for 4-6.
Thank you! I should be okay - the costume is completely backless so I should be able to get some air on my skin. As for movement, my fabrics are 4-way stretch PVC and stretch Vinyl, so I'm not worried about it. =^^=
Aw, thanks! I do my best to stay hydrated at con's. I take breaks all of the time and will, on occasion, will hang out in the restroom and strip down for a little while.
I have already fallen in them.
I've been wearing them around the house to break them in and practice my walk. Thankfully no hospital visits yet!!My biggest guess is that neoprene is obviously neoprene. We cosplayers, most of the time, want accuracy and accuracy means shiny fabrics like wet-look spandex and PVC. And, like you mentioned, sewing neoprene invites rips and tears in the fabric = not good! But yeah, my guess is because wetsuits have a very distinct fabric and won't look quite right.
GAH, excite!!
I mean, this could fall through, heaven knows it happens to me often enough, BUT my cos-sister is coming down for a visit! And we are going to photo shoot it up!! Probably not actual cosplay, we'll probably just dress in wigs and crazy clothes. But still, I'm so excited to get new pic's with her!
So, now you guys have something to look forward too, right??

Alright friends!
So, voting time! Help me decide what to wear at my photo shoot!
The 'Friend Next Door' look.
The 'I might be a Dominatrix' look.
The 'School Girl - Bad' look.
The 'School Girl - Good' look.
Dem shoes.
So, thoughts opinions? Any combinations preferred? Or any other combinations, like tops and skirts mix-matched with others?
Please help me.

This is basically my feeling too.
You guys are so helpful. 
Well, School Girl - Bad seems to be most popular and is easier to wear, with my red wig and my Bayo shoes.
BUT NOW, white socks or black?? And garter harnesses yay or nay??

Always. ALWAYS.
Honestly, given the characters that you usually photoshoot, the Girl Next Door might not be a bad choice to shake things up.
Honestly, they all look great, though, each for their own reasons.
White socks with the shoes - like Jay said, it helps them stand out more. And keep on rocking those garters!

Not really - it's what I wore in high school too! - I just never got rid of it. =^^= Don't feel old!I'm looking at the photo and I realize except for the garters, that outfit is almost identical to one I wore in high school. Even the hair and bangs is dead-on. I don't know if I have a photo of it for comparison.
My high school years have become costumes!*feels old*
Thanks Bones!!
I love them and hate them so much!
I'm glad you approve.If you're asking if I will be showing high school pictures of myself, tough luck. I have one picture from me in high school. One. (Minus the few from Marching Band) I was such an insane wallflower I would, for real, run away if a camera was anywhere near me.[DOUBLEPOST=1395022848,1395022526][/DOUBLEPOST]And one more for tonight:
So what caused the change? (Just curious.)
