No clue what to do!

Post by reithegenki » Fri Aug 29, 2008 3:15 pm

Hey - I have until April to do three outfits for me, and three collaborating outfits for my dollfie (not just smaller versions of the same thing, but another related character). Giving myself plenty of time this year!

I have no problem sewing (I am a senior at IADT majoring in apparel design. Sewing is my forte) and I am a master with a glue gun.
So bring on the complicated stuff, or basic stuff. I don't mind. I just don't want to look like I'm cosplaying out of my range. As in - I want someone with a similar skintone and body type. I just chopped my hair off so I don't mind wigs, but I would like to do at least one without a wig.

Here is a current picture of my hair: http://a890.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/im ... 2e6501.jpg
Another: http://b5.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/0029 ... 0235_l.jpg

Here is a very recent pic for body reference (right before I chopped off my hair): http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3232/278 ... 6d.jpg?v=0
And another: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3240/278 ... 16.jpg?v=0

I can dye my hair any color I want to, and if I start growing it out now - it will be at my shoulders or a little past by April. (my hair grows MONDO fast)

I am 21yo, 5'6'', 110lbs - Pale w/ freckles natural light brown/red hair. Green eyes.


Here are pictures of my Dollfie if it helps!

Excuse her lack of eyelashes in those pics - I had just redone her faceup and hadn't put the on yet.

I can buy her any kind/color of wig and eyes and can redo her faceup (makeup). But, her eyes and faceup will have to stay the same for all three outfits. I can change her wig with her clothes though. (I COULD change her eyes too if I brought my glue-gun, but I would prefer not to have to.


Alright! I hope that is enough (and not way too much) info!

Bring on the inspiration.

Cool, your current hair is one of the hairstyles used in the "Create a Wrestler" in Smackdown Vs Raw 2008. Well if you allow Crossplaying there might be a few... Have you ever played any games like maybe Soul Calibur?

Check this site. right below.

Yeah - I don't mind cross-play and I am a huge soul caliber fan.

I wouldn't mind doing one cross-play and the other two with wigs. :)

Any other ideas, guys?

So far my ideas are:

A.B.A from Guilty Gear
Rydia from FFIV

Would really appreciate a few more ideas though :)
