Seriously, I keep hearing of all of these Tales gatherings, but they're some four or five states away, or on dates that I'm already busy. I'ts depressing.

Anyway, though quite the newb (I comission my cosplay. Again, lazy.) I cosplay both Arche (ToP) and Luke (ToA). Don't ask how that works personality and looks wise, it just does. <.< >.>

I do have one question: I actually wanted to dye my hair (which is naturally a medium brown) Luke's color for Oni-con. I know of some decent temporary dye that I've used for the red color before, but I'm stumped on that whole gradiant/fade to peachy yellow thing that it does. Any ideas that won't damange my hair terribly (I've sortof vain...)?

I really should try to go to more Texas cons, it's not extreeeemely far for me (no where near as far as Marlyand at least!) But I don't think I am this year. D:

Hmm, well for the hair you could try asking about it in the hair/makeup forums. I don't know too much about temporary hair dye, the folks over there might be able to help with that. :>

Okay, so I started my friends' Tear and Dist outfits, and oh man. ...That was something. XD; Seriously, what was Dist thinking? I can imagine him just hunched over his desk sewing that crazy flower collar himself, because no stylist in their right mind would make something so against the laws of physics. XD

:XD I'm going to attempt to make a Tokunaga costume for my friend. We are going to be going as Tear, Anise, and Tokunaga. Anyone have any clues on what would be a good way to structure the head for Tokunaga? Any tips for the other costumes would be great too. Fortunately no wigs will be needed for this cos play.

I'm cosplaying Badtouch Van Grants for Otakon 08'... But styling his wig is going to destroy me ._.

I almost finished a Guy Cecil cosplay + wig but then a pot-smoking jackass burnt down the apartment building I was living it, and I couldn't get the costume and wig out :S

My first costume from Tales of was of Zelos from Tales of Symphonia~ *big surprise, hey?*

[Rogue of B3K]

Aw man, I wish I could go to Otakon, I would love to see your Chopin cosplay, Zelos_W! I plan to cosplay him in the future as well, but I don't have time to do such detailed cosplay at the moment. X3

Oh yes, this is a Tales thread *ahem* Anyway. I have an Asch cosplay, and I managed to get some of my friends interested in ToA *waves to Lothlin XDD* so I'm so excited to have a decent group for the upcoming cons. Asch is my first completed cosplay (aside from the wig I still need to make) and I'm really happy with how it turned out. My extensions have shipped so hopefully I'll have my wig completed in the next two weeks!

Awesome!! yay a Tales of thread!! XDD

I'ma B Anise!! I have friends who are also doing Sync, Guy, Tear, and maybe Dist. :3 I think if Dist can convince his friend we'll have a Largo too XDD

Aha! I'm also doing Presea! ^^ I've actually started on her costume this week and I've got her belt done...I'm trying to get the hard part out of the way....Her Gloves!!! D: my weakness....bleck...I cant sew gloves to save my life.....
Anyways...I might have a Yuan and a Sheena with me too ^^

Pictures of my Tear costume (and my friend as Luke), plus random photos of Mieu and Tokunaga plushies and goofy fanart scans.

XD Ah! If anyone else is interested in making a Tokunaga costume I found this EXTREMELY useful.

Aww, I can't wait to see your Presea! :> I was trying to fit a Symphonia costume in this year, but it got too busy. So I think '08 will be a good year to do one. I was gonna go with either Genis or Yggdrasil, most likely

[Lothlin]

XD Holy cow, I can't stop laughing right now (or maybe it's crying a little XD.) Sugoicon just announced one of their guests, and he just happens to be the Japanese voice actor for Dist.

What is killing me right now? Our Tales of the Abyss group does not, in fact, have a Dist. GUH. (I swear, if I wasn't almost done with my Jade cosplay, I'd do him myself!)

[ChibiTifa05]

Yeah, I know I'm late posting in this thread. >< Due to the persistent urging of certain...people....I will be joining a crazy Tales of Legendia group as Chloe for Otakon 2008, along with Meredy from Tales of Eternia. Meredy will be done for Katsucon 2008, but I have to bring her back since we will most likely have all the main characters from Eternia at Otakon. Anise from Abyss will probably be done for Katsucon as well, but not her default outfit. Most likely it will be that battle outfit that you can get for her. ^^;

Eternal Sonata cosplayers unite! Hehe.

Now, back on topic:
It seems my TotA group it going to be quite... Strange >D; It's going to consist of Ion, Sync, Van, and either Jade or Dist >D;

Heck yeah Tales of Legendia! XD If only you could come to Fanime, my friends are doing Shirley, Grune, and maybe Jay too. *u*

And I can't wait to see your Presea! Yes, I think it will be too! Most definitely :>

I plan on cosplaying as Natalia, I just need to find a good wig I could use (<-very lazy college student)

That's good though! My friends and I who are going to Otakon 2008 were thinking that a group of God-Generals would be awesome! (I'll be Arietta)
Too bad we'll probably never find a Largo...

Oh yeah! Today is the 1-year anniversary of Tales of the Abyss being in America! *throws confetti*
