Monthly goals.

I've been dreading doing this but I have to in order to keep my nerves in check. This is a huge project. Now saying that can still not bring across how challenging it is. So far it's cost us...around...$200. Maybe. Normally that's for both cosplays.

So here is my goals for the next four months.


December 


  • Finish The cape (Fix three corners, finish bias tape on collar.)
  • Finish Abel's cassock (Patterns cut out. Fabric is next.)
  • Finish Abel's armor (Not including painting.)
Maybe

  • Finish Seth's armor (Three pieces.)

January 

  • Finish Seth's dress 
  • Finish Seth's armor (If not done this month.)
  • Boot covers for Seth
  • Make resin gems for Seth
  • Start on Seth's hat
  • Start on the trim and fabric painting on the back of the train.

I would love to be finish with all major work by the end of January. Now if that doesn't happen there will be no time to make the wings. Since we will have to construct a very complex harness for Abel's large feathered wings it will take time to figure that all out. Seth's wings will also take a lot of planning. Of course besides the wings there are things we still need to buy. Wigs, contacts, shoes, corset, make-up, ect. That is very important for both cosplays. 

If we aim to finish most of the construction by January that leaves us a lot of room to fix things. Because something always happens right before con. So by giving myself time to sit back and return to the cosplays later on, I can find and fix anything I find before con. 

The most challenging thing will be the details on Seth's train. I will be hand sewing all the gold trim as well as painting the details on both the hat and dress. It's a lot of work in a very little time period but I really want to get the more complicated sewing done soon. Which shouldn't be an issue if I work on it everyday. 

I am so excited for Sakura-con. We are most likely only going to cosplay Seth and Abel throughout the whole weekend. That's it for now. I will update later on with more progress pictures. 

Thanks for reading!
