We are officially a week out from Emerald City Comicon (ECCC)!
What this means, is that I've been flustered trying to get costumes together, repairing the ones I haven't worn in a little while, and creating new ones.
So here's my Status List:
Jawa: I think my crew has figured out how they're planning on rigging up the eyes, so that they glow appropriately. I hunt for a reasonably priced bandoleer.
Mandalorian: I have finished painting my new helmet. I just need to tweek the padding so that its comfortable for its debut "troop" at ECCC. Also I need to shim my gauntlets for better fit for longer wearings, which ECCC certainly falls under this category.
Imperial Officer: I found that my boots, after 4 long years of wear, are finally falling apart. Considering how much I SERIOUSLY wear them ( oh yes, its all the time, especially in the fall and winter months because they are awesome and so dang comfortable) this was an eventuality that I should have planned better for. The company that made these boots have since gone out of business, thus leaving me one sad Si. So I'll need to repair them as best I can, and hunt for new ones. This is not proving to be an easy task, as I honestly don't have hundreds of dollars, and have a wide calf.
Secret Awesome Costume: This is the biggie! There has been picture taking of some, sadly not all, of the work going into this project. I'm not quite ready to show it yet, especially since there is the risk of not getting it done on time. I promise if this works out there WILL be pictures. I am excited for it, since I haven't really seen anyone attempt to cosplay this particular character yet, curvy or not!
So I am abuzz with all sorts of work!
Then come ECCC itself! Which is always fun and exciting. It means getting to see everyone else's cosplay work, meeting new people, hanging out with old friends and raising money for a local charity that has been so kind to Garrison Titan.
I'll talk more about that later!
