As soon as we are finished with Break and Sharon we are starting construction on Seth and Abel. Those cosplays have a lot to them and we really want them done by Kumori-con. I'm guessing that our Pandora Hearts cosplays will take about two-three months since they are fairly simple. That means we will have 8-9 months to finish our Trinity Blood cosplays. Which is perfect. Lots of time to focus and try out the new methods we'll be using. I wish we could get them done by Sakura-con but I don't think I have it in me.
Which is okay! I have made only four cosplays as of yet. I'm still learning and I would rather be more comfortable as well as fix a few of my craftsmanship issues. But before then we'll be starting on some of the things that we can do now without buying any other materials.
Such as...
~Abel's wig
Gravity defining wig! I've been learning how to make this and now I finally am comfortable that I can make it without needing to put a foam core on it. Luckily we have two silver wigs. I also have some old wigs that I'll be using to do a test run before we us any of our silver wigs. We'll have to buy a third silver wig because our Trinity Blood cosplays will have a non-crusnik version and a crusnik version for the contest. But the two silver wigs we have aren't the best so they'll make up the the crusnilk version wig.
The wig lifts up. If hair products and teasing doesn't work we'll have to stick it up with glue. I may do a few tests to see if using a foam core and or wire would be easier. We have to do a few tests with our older wigs. Beside Abel's wig we also are going to start playing around with clay and craft foam to start making molds for Abel's armor. My fiance will be in charge of making all our armor. We really want to make it good this time around since he'll be using Wonderflex.
So those are our plans for now. There will be a lot to do to make these costumes but I'm excited to make two large cosplays. It'll be a great experience.
