Mawaru Penguindrum

[junii]

Oh man, my friends and I are REALLY comtemplating cosplaying from Mawaru Penguindrum to Anime North ! I'd love to go from double H, but I have no partner lol. Does anyone have any wig suggestions for Himari? Besides the one from moemall, it's really pretty, but I feel like the colour is the slightest bit off!

@Anaru: It would be awesome if you guys cosplayed as penguindrum characters at AN =D
what about this himari wig ?

Hmm, yea, I saw that wig, but I'm kind of iffy on the seller. It seems they're new, so I'm not sure about the quality x"D Well, I've got time until february to make my decision *V* I was thinking about buying a wheat brown wig from Fantasy Sheep...oh well, I'll decide later x"D Thank you, Seena-Cha! : )

@Anaru: No problem (: And good luck

Skimmed through all the pages to look for cosplays, but, eep, none yet, as far as I can see? ... This needs to be fixed! I'm glad there's a topic for this series already, though - it's absolutely fabulous max. <3

I plan on cosplaying Shoma, but that won't be until half a year from now when my group gets together. I did recently get a Sanetoshi wig for Christmas from my friend, though, so that will definitely be put to good use sometime sooner ~ .

only thing I can offer right now is a low quality make - up test that obviously needs a lot of work as seen here. orz ;


while I'm at it, though ... really none of my friends know mpd despite me trying to get them into it, so, a question for you all. ; c: with his super girly huge eyes, are fake eyelashes and / or circle lenses a yes or no for sho?

I'm so fricken tired......

Its now 5AM.... I finished the skirt and I finished painting the sleeves...
All the blue strips are hand painted T_T
It took me like 5 hours to paint all those stripes on T_T
The skirt was pretty easy, screwed up on measurements the first go but fixed it. I also took pictures, got out of the costume... then I realized I forgot the blue ribbon.... Had to put the costume back on WITH the ribbon this time.

So if I look dead... its because its 5AM xD

I do hope to buy a wig soon... but I dont want to spend like $50+ =_= I am also thinking about Circle lenses for this cosplay as well xD not sure yet.

but I am SUPER exited to finally wear this!
I might make a #3 when I can x3

The skirt is also really really poofy but cant tell because of the angle of pictures =_= had to take them in a cramped bathroom. There is also a problem with the shirt that I need to fix.

The shirt was pretty much bought at GoodWill, but I completely took it apart XD

I think the stripes look great, nice job!

[LuluHime]

woot XD

@HareyuNanami: Oh wow that looks really awesome =D

[WARPAINTandUnicorns]

winter bridge fake eyelashes make a huge difference, circle lenses are nice but not everyone an wear contacts. ^_^

Great find on the skirt HareyuNanami! I'm not that lucky locally for use item in odd shades.

I can relate, I spent 10 hours straight painting my Xemnas coat.

Great wig choices Ani! =D
I have just come to realize that the majority of people posting and cosplaying from MP are from Canada XD!

But I am super exited to get some pictures of my costume once its done!
Pictures in the winter are always the greatest <3 I have a big thing for white back drops~

Its funny, I have this big thing where its hard for me to put on fake eye lashes but not contacts xD

[Yuurisans]

Good to see a penguindrum thread! I love the show<3
@HareyuNanami
That's a lot of hand painting work - you did a great job! Plus I love the colors you chose.

I'm planning to cosplay Ringo that I have done to my next convention. Here's her diary which took me a few days to finish: http://www.cosplay.com/photo/3121750/ My twin is going to be Masako, she has most of it done: http://i39.tinypic.com/28c2cn9.jpg. My little sister is planning to cosplay as Momoka.
The problem I have is Momoka's hair color. I bought a pink wig that turned out too hot pink;A; So my sis and I tried adding lighter pink colors. Would you guys consider Momoka's hair light pink or dark pink?

I think Canadian fans like mind trips, HareyuNanami. ^_^

Momoka's hair is a shade of fuschia and is midtone pink. I would dye a thin blue over a hot pink to get a shade similar to her's.

Any tips on patterns for Masako?

[miugiko]

Hi there! :D I got around to finishing Mawaru recently, and while I originally planned on cosplaying Ringo (I still might), I really want to cos Himari's Princess of the Crystal dress! I'm hoping to finish her for sometime this year. The only part I'm having trouble with right now are the white puff sleeves?

http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0...__large_03.jpg

I'm not really sure how to go about making them...or what they're actually called, if there is a proper term for it. I was just wondering if you guys have any idea?

[WARPAINTandUnicorns]

They are Ruffs (collar).
