Comic Con Cosplay

I am super excited for Thursday and Friday to roll around. Why? BECAUSE I AM GOING TO TAMPA BAY COMIC CON!!!! YAY!!!!!

I am going with Chris, Katelynn, Tabitha, and maybe Chris’s little sister. Milissa was going to go but for family reasons that I don’t feel it is my place to talk about, can’t anymore. Chris’s sister will get her ticket if all works out. We have a room for the night before the con. Since we areonly going for the first day, we got the room for Thursday so we can be

well rested before we get in the lines early Friday morning. It is my first con and I am ecstatic!!!

Originally I was going to do something simple for my cosplay for the con. I was going to be hipster ariel. I had these cute green pants and a purple top with my red wig and hipster glasses. Just so I would be wearing something but not too complicated. I want to be able to move around and I don’t know what to really expect because this is my first con after all.

But I have always wanted to cosplay female InuYasha and I wanted it to be the first thing I ever cosplay at a con….. so of course now that’s its crunch time I decided to sew together a kimono and complete the cosplay, last second, with only basically 4 days to complete it with a nonexistent budget. I managed to get my hands on a good amount of fabric and I already have the wig and ears. I can make claws from my acrylic nail kits and I saw a tutorial on YouTube on how to make fangs with plastic nails as well. I can probably manage it. Hopefully.

The biggest thing is figuring out the design. I have been contemplating the design for years now and I have to decide RIGHT NOW. There is the design where its just inuyasha’s kimono but longer so it’s a short dress. Theres the design I found on tumblr that is more girly with orange accents. Then there is battle InuYasha where I would be wearing hakama pants and

I would wrap my torso with bandages and fake blood. I had decided on the longer original design but with some personal additions and accents. I am just making the basic kimono now. I made his necklace yesterday out of a leather cord, wood beads and baking clay. I just have to paint it now.

 The kimono is rather plain but I am considering stitching random lines in yellow and orange on the obi which is red. This way it kind of pays homage to a lot of fan art where grown up InuYasha has armor and flame printed sashes.

Its till a work in progress but I have gotten a lot done already. I worked for over 12 hours straight since 5 something yesterday and just stopped about 2 hours ago x.x

I will keep posting updates XD
