Uhh 8'D

1 min read
*dusts* Been neglecting my dA ahaha 8'D These days, I'm mostly on Facebook, since it's easier to share things there. XD I post work in progress there as well~ :D Here's the link: www.facebook.com/xiaobai.tan.1

Been preparing for the upcoming Cosfest, which is happening next week! Preparations are nearly done, and I can't wait to see my teammates and everyone else in their cosplays too~ *v*b 

On the downside, my laptop is dying on me, so I am unable to edit anymore photos from the recent shoots. T__T Hopefully I can get back to them after it's fixed next week! >A< 

Anyway, looking forward to Cosfest~! \o/ See ya~!

Post STGCC lull

4 min read
It's been two weeks after STGCC! I'm so tempted to go back into my slack mode, but there are shoots to be done, costumes to prepare and photos to edit. TvT Though to be honest, recently my urge to make costumes has increased since...

I.CAN.HAS.A.SEWING.MACHINE.NOW! /(*v*)/

My dear friends (Dan, Himi, Kie, William and Jo) pooled together their money to get me a Brother sewing machine for my birthday! To be honest, I had kinda suspected it (since Dan was asking me really obvious questions www), but I really didn't expect that they'll do it 8'D It is certainly much more convenient to own a sewing machine! First thing I made using the sewing machine were some parts for Sora. :D Things that would have taken me 4 hours of hand sewing were done within 2 hours instead! I'm sewing up another costume now with it and it's quite satisfying to see a costume take shape as you sew~ *v*b  

The past few weeks leading up to STGCC was a little bit of a rush. Once again, I delayed in starting on Sora's shoes and other accessories and only had two weeks to finish everything 8'''D Most of Di[e]ce's stuff was finished one or two days before Sunday (painting the school emblem on Friday night, sticking on the patterns for the top on Saturday night...), and it was kinda crazy but gave me the 'oh yeah, this is the Singaporean Cosplay Rush' feeling.

The event itself was not bad actually. There was quite an equal amount of booths catering to both western fandom and AMG fandom too. I came away with a Sentimental Circus tumbler (which I won in at an omikuji) and a Bloody Bunny T-shirt! Also bought a Riku and Sora handphone strap to replace my current ones, since they were at half price! The Hot Toys booth design was really awesome, with that gigantic Hulk arm, and not to mention, the Avengers Hot Toys displayed in a really nice set~ :D Managed to take a photo with Kousaka Yun and Hibiki Toya on Sunday (when we were doing Di[e]ce) and I was really happy that they recognised the series (since it's so obscured 8'D)~

Anyway, here's a little shout out to my teammates: :iconcvy: and :iconreiyuv:! Thank you for cosing with me and for tahaning until the end when the Keyblade finally reached me! *3* Looking forward to the shoot yo~! Also to :icondan-thefarmer:, you be a good partner yo~ :D  Thanks for sewing the capes too! *v*b Let's work hard for the shoot too! Otsukare~!

Last but not least, thank you :icontsuyin: for walking around and carry stuff with us for Day 1, and :iconblacklashjo: and :iconpiyo2himi: for helping out the short shoot on Day 2, AND also, :iconrescend: for taking awesome photos for us during the mini shoots on both days! <3 >v<b

--

Up next, is three more shoots, and preparation for AFA! >A<9 Really hope my plan for AFA will turn out well this time! TvTb Wish me luck!

It's been two weeks since cosfest! Been rather productive-ish in editing photos and I'm finishing up with the Yukina x Kisa set soon! :D Cosfest was quite okay this year~ (though nothing can beat the fun I had during last year's Cosfest XD) it's kinda refreshing to see so many overseas cosplayers, though I am kinda disappointed that there weren't any panel talks, since this is a good chance for us to learn more about how cosplaying overseas is like and so on.

We nearly couldn't get a chalet due to some last minute cock-ups, but luckily, Kits, Tessie and Kanoe had space, and kindly offered to let us bunk over. QvQb Thank you so much! Spent two nights there, but went over to Verse's chalet on the last night cause she was alone 8'D But to be honest, i didn't sleep much during those three days, so on Monday, I had to call my company and take full day leave cause I was too tired =~=

Day 1 was Type 0 team~! A full Class Zero team of 14 members! It's really great to see the entire team come together after months of preparation~ XD Studio Omoshiroi has taken a footage of us and compiled it in his video for Cosfest~ You can view it HERE! We are at around 2.05! :D I have also posted two group photos of us which you can view Over Here!

Day 2 was Inazuma Eleven Go TYL team~ ahaha~ Some of us who had cosplayed in the same Inaire group last year reprised our roles as the same characters, but from the Inago anime. It was a really relaxed group actually~ and I only know that Shio and Kura are joining us as Hiroto-shachou and Saginuma only on the day before ahahaha 8''D But it was fun hanging around and fagging with random Inaire cosers too! XD

Anyway, up next is mainly STGCC and some shoots, though I might go for ICDS if I managed to finish another costume in time. STGCC is gonna kill me I think. =~=;; Also starting on AFA next week cause it's gonna be a labour-intensive cos. m@ Ganbarimasu!

Till next time! \o/
