PS: Has everyone seen this? http://www.the-magicbox.com/0603/game060310b.shtml

Freaking sweetness.

[SuzukaZakuro]

Natalie-Yes, alternate costumes are awesome! I think I'll be wearing my Sun Shang Xiang to Anime Expo, once it gets done.

Metric-I thought your wig was excellent, it did indeed look more natural. I remember asking about your sword, and it's nice to have the site now. ^^

Bamboo Cactus-Eeewww. I always skip the scene where he eats his eye. IT weirds me out, 'cause I can always imagine the pop of the eyeball. >_< I have seen some stuff on Dynasty Warriors BB. I wonder if it'll be available here.

[bamboocactus]

SuzukaZakura - Hehe yeah, when I read it I was like O_O;;;;

But what's better is the footnote on when the three Brothers embark on their journey but are tied down by family. "What! Brother, how could you kill your own family?!" "You're right, I'll kill yours, you kill mine." "Good plan!" XDDD

Edit:

uys... I still haven't solved my hair problem for Ling Tong. I'm not getting the bangs cut because it'll probably look bad and I'll have to straighten them eeeeeevery day. That'll kill my hair T3T; My friend recommended a fringe piece, buuuuut my other friend said I'd look super gay. So... Ling Tong with a regular ponytail it is, I guess ^___^
Unless anybody else has a good idea?

Oooh that game does look like fun even though I'm not much of a PC gamer anymore. >.< I can make an exception for Dynasty Warriors though. ^_~

I just commented on your Xiahou Dun Mr. Ruler ^_^ Awesome job with that. I would love to see more guys from the series cosplayed by actual guys.

I am planning on going to Anime Expo next year too! So maybe I can hop into the group for photos. Maybe I can bring Nu Wa, or if I ever get around to making Zhu Rong's 5th game outfit. By then, DW6 may be out and I can take a peek at how much I like her 6th game outfit. lol

Great work! Where did you find that awesome matte gold trim? Did you have to make it yourself?

You're making me want to finish my husband's Xiahou Dun, which has been in the works for, oh, gee, 2 years and become an exercise in completely remaking stuff. x_x

I have finally finished my Da Qiao cosplay~~ If you guys are interested, pop my by gallery ^_^

Your Da Qiao is wonderful! That fan is truly amazing! Good job!

[Natalie]

Hey bamboo, how's the Ling Tong coming along? Call me lazy, but when is Otakon again?

[SuzukaZakuro]

Bamboo-I'm sure Ling Tong with a regular pony tail would look great! I mean, having super accurate hair all the time is difficult. My Oichi (from Samurai Warriors 2) ponytail on the top of my head is too short, but I think it still looks good.

Natalie-You really should come to AX next year! It would be awesome to have you there for the DW gathering, and maybe the SW one too. I can't wait to see Nu Wa, she's awesome!

Rydain-I did see your husband's progress picture. It's looking good, even if it's been on hiatus for 2 years. So many costumes, so little time.

pearle-Cute Da Qiao. ^^

[bamboocactus]

SuzukaZakuro - Thanks, I feel more confident about that now

Natalie - It's funny. I had it commissioned, right, but when I got it, nothing that was supposed to go around my waist fit correctly, and they completely screwed up the costume design even though I provided excellent reference material. So... I had to design the costume completely myself, draw everything out in detail with descriptions, pin everything that didn't fit, provide the patterns for the embroidery that they failed to do, and sent it back. They should be getting it today or tomorrow, and they'd BETTER bust their butts and overnight it to me before August (Otakon is August 3-6).

So I guess it's less of a commission now that I've designed the costume they're making. Heh, now I can take credit for it ^_^

But yeah, that's the story. I hope everything turns out okay, I'd hate to have only one cosplay for Otakon. I really want to debut my Ling Tong there!

[strawberry neko]

wow! its been a while since i was last here! ^_^!

bamboo cactus: oh~! youre cosplaying as lingtong!? awesome! ^_^ cant wait to see everything! hee hee, you should get a friend to cosplay as gan ning. i think ling tong and gan ning are just to awesome next to each other

pearle: yay! you finally finished your da qiao! its so wonderful ^_^

[bamboocactus]

Strawberry Neko - Hah, well actually, my friend Valgaav_Xellos IS cosplaying Gan Ning. In fact, she's the one who suggested I cosplay Ling Tong ^_^

Hopefully it'll be coming out allright! I don't want to let anybody here down!

[pearle]

suzuka >> thanks for your comments~~~ ><
strawberry >> yes!! after such a long time. Finally, its done~~~~ *goes off and party~~~* xDxD I wanna redo the fans again~~~~

[Natalie]

holy crap.. that sucks! lol. I hope it works out though. That's neat that you got to design it though. That way you'll be twice as proud when you wear it. ^_^ Do you know if there are other people going as DW characters to Otakon? I can't wait to see pictures.

[bamboocactus]

Yep ,there's about 5. There's a thread for it in the Otakon forums ^_^
