What Cosplay?

Both Megan and Alaina attended Jafax this past weekend in Saiyuki, and had a blast! We'll be uploading more pictures from that shoot as time goes on, since we already sort of spammed everyone with our faces as Hakkai and Gojyo ;u;. Kali attended as Jane from Homestuck, and as Kida from Atlantis! Both Mikayla and Aubrey also went, and had a blast, too!

For future plans, both Morgan and Jazz are planning on hitting up Anime Midwest. Alaina and Megan are looking into both Godaikocon and Matsuricon, but those are very tentative.

And of course, we're all working hard for some big cosplay premiers at Youmacon this year! :D

In terms of cosplay, we're happy to be currently planning and working onnnn:

Kingdom Hearts

DMMD (featuring members of the cosplay group, "The Bet Is Off"!)

Red vs. Blue

A super secret surprise from Megan and Alaina <3

Aaaaand Code Geass!! :D

None of these newer costumes are going to really be premiered until Youmacon. We really want to make our future costumes super clean and beautiful! We hope that slowing things down a little in terms of our cosplay output will help make our costumes something to really be proud of ;u;

Questions for our lovely followers: What are you guys working on right now? Do you plan on going to any of the conventions that we're planning on attending? ARE YOU SO TOTALLY PUMPED??

1 - Eridan horns. Alaina made these over summer of 2011, but we never did wind up doing Eridan. They're pretty though.

2 - Tavros horns. They're actually encased in Summoner horns here, so you can't see them, but they're there! Alaina wore these at Youma 2011.

3 - Gamzee horns. Megan actually made these by herself. That's the first (and pretty much only) time that that happened! I wore them at Youma 2011.

4 - Hussie horn! Over the summer, Alaina and I decided to Omegle as Hussie and Hussbot. Sooooo that's the shitty Hussie horn we made about an hour before we went on.

5 - Karkat nubs! Megan actually made these herself, too! She/I wore them at Jafax 2012.

6 - Summoner v 1.0. Alaina started these over the summer. When it came time to wear them to Youma 2012, they were too heavy. We had to abandon them two days before the con and make another pair. It was heartbreaking, and we don't like to talk about it.

7 - Mindfang. Megan made these kind of, too! They wound up also being really heavy and shifting forward the whole duration of Youma 2012. Again, not the best topic for conversation.

8 - troll!John horns. We wanted to do troll!John and troll!Dave horns to some convention sometime or start an ask blog. That obviously never really happened...

9 - troll!Dave horns. See troll!John

10 - Summoner v 2.0. Made two days before Youma 2012 out of like twenty packets of little containers of Model Magic that was supposed to be a kit for making a polar bear. We have so many markers left over from that. We also didn't have much time, so we wound up having to encase Tavros horns (number 2) in more aluminum foil and then coating over them. They dried in time, but they were also just as heavy as Summoner 1.0. Alaina almost passed out at one point from them...Youma 2012 was interesting.

11 - Karkat nubs - Alaina version! Theeeese...came before number 10. I suck at numbering. Anyway! Alaina used these for her Karkat, and modeled them after mine because we wanted to take a Kankri and Karkat shoot like the day after Kankri came out and we had this awkward problem because my horns are waaaaaaaaay smaller than hers are. But then again, she's also several inches taller than me. Not in the photos~

12. Psiioniic horns. For Morgan! Alaina whipped these up for Youma 2012. They were beautiful and one of the like five things that actually worked at that convention. I stole them later for a really quick impromptu ugly sweater Sollux at a meet up. They were big then, but great for Psii.

13. Apparently I forgot the number thirteen. Iiiii'm fantastic at this.

14. Subjuglator horns. Weeeeeee couldn't find enough white Model Magic to make these because Alaina accidentally bought a "skin" toned tub of the stuff instead. So they're made out of skin tones. And then we found out they, too, were too heavy, so Jacob had to wear my gamzee horns (number 3) instead to Youma 2012. But these are beautiful anyway. Maybe we'll mount them on our wall.

15. Tavros 2.0. Alaina decided that since her other Tavros horns were covered in Summoner horns, she should probably make another pair, rather than cracking the others like eggs. Very heavy and temperamental eggs. We obviously didn't get around to using them, but they look nice!

16. Kanaya horns. Alaina and I were supposed to do God Tier Kanaya and Rose to ACen 2013. Thaaaaat's not happening, though. So there are some really pretty Kanaya horns just chillin' on our ground.

17. Mituna horns. I was too afraid to make them so Alaina made them for me. They look great! As we did more and more horns, apparently they got brighter because wow they look so much more vivid than the Psiioniic ones above them (which are totally bigger than Mituna, I promise.) Anyway, these worked out great and didn't give us trouble at Ohayocon 2013. 

18. Latula horns. Which is fitting to follow Mituna. This was the first time Alaina ever cosplayed a girl. Ever. I know right? Anyway, they were fun and Alaina wasn't ever expecting to do a Pyrope but she ran around and gave everyone high fives at the con and it was fun and stuff ;u; (Ohayocon 2013, btw. I'm bad at this.)

19. Horuss horns. These...aren't phallic at all. (Shuto and Dancestuck 2013)

20. Rufioh horns. Alaina made these for me. They wound up (gasp) NOT being too heavy. Because apparently it takes us like 6 pairs of Nitram horns to get it right. Anyway. They're beautiful and I love these babies and they were fun at Dancestuck 2013 and Shuto 2013.
