2016 Cosplay Plan

After being tagged on Facebook to share my 2016 Cosplay plans, so I thought I would share them here as well.

First off is Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII. I have started working on this one awhile ago, but so far I have only started on the swords and some leg armour. I'm hoping to have it finished in time for AVcon so I can wear it in the Cosplay Competition.

Next up is Mega Evolution X Charizard from Pokemon. I am hoping to have it done in time to wear it on the Saturday of AVcon along with my cousin Megan from Biased Raincloud Cosplay

Maltheal from Diablo is a maybe for Supanova as it depends on whether I want to make yet more armour after Gabranth and Charizard. I love Maltheal's weapons and I think they would be fun to yield. 

This is more of 2017 cosplay plan, but I want to do a Warhammer 40k Space Marine cosplay. Due to the size of them I will probably need all the extra time I can get. This is also one of the reasons that Maltheal is a maybe. 

Last of all is Nurse Joy from Pokemon. I have no actually plans to finish this in 2016 so I won't be stressing about. This is more of a I'm going to do some sewing to make myself hate making armour a little less project.

My Very First Video Game

I have been playing video games for as long as I can remember. I have been playing since I was a young child. I also had older siblings who also played video games, so for me it was only normal that I got into gaming. I can't remember the very first video game I ever played, but I do remember what game was the very first game that was my own game. That game was Pokemon Blue.

I got into Pokemon though a neighbor who discovered the game and introduced it to me. I got hooked and really enjoyed playing it. I went on to borrowing Pokemon Yellow from them and loved having a little tiny Pikachu follow me around. Come on Pikachu is super cute, how can you not love it?

I have some fond memories of playing Pokemon Blue, like playing Pokemon Blue on long car rides to see family while listening to a tape my brother made. It was a recovering of the first couple of episodes of the anime, during the first episode my brother had recorded my name - Sarah, over that of Ash.

Ok so there is no hiding just how much I loved Pokemon back in the, not that I can say much has changed as I'm sitting here typing this in a Pikachu onesie. All I'm missing is my Pikachu slippers, and my Pikachu pillow. Yes, I have a Pikachu onesie, Pikachu slippers and Pikachu pillow, don't you? 

If I lived in the Pokemon world, what would I be?

If I lived in the Pokemon world I would love to be a trainer. With so much to see and do in the Pokemon world why would you want to be stuck in one area. What better way to see it all than with your Pokemon?

If I lived in the Pokemon world I would have to have Pokemon of my own and I would want a few. Not to mention that while I have a favorite type *cough*fire*cough* I wouldn't want to be forced to stick to one type of Pokemon like a Gym Leader. It wouldn't surprise me if I ended up with mostly fire type and than have a odd Eevee or Pikachu.

I also have a preferred area, I wouldn't want to be stuck in one area. I would love to travel across the land, searching far and wide to understand the power that's inside each Pokemon. It will be my pokemon and me, I know it's my destiny.
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.

Like I was saying, the Pokemon world is getting pretty big now, so there would be a lot to see. Plus there are so many Pokemon that you wouldn't be able to catch the ones you love without traveling or hoping you found someone with a Pokemon you want who's willing to trade with you.

If you lived in the Pokemon world, what would you be?

Cosplay motivation!

Wednesday night I commented on Facebook about being the most motivated to work on cosplay at night. I had the whole day off and I could have spent it working on my Sabrina cosplay as SupaNova is soon and I'm probably not even half way though. Yet I spent the day doing other stuff and even when I went to work on it I still got distracted. That will teach me for leaving Warhammer stuff on my sewing cabinet.

This was not the only time it has happened. I don't know why. From memory I spent more time working away on my Weeping Angel wings either late afternoon or at night than what I did the rest of the time.

Surely I am not the only one like this, I would love to hear when other people get the most motivated to do stuff.

Updated Supanova 2015 plans!

With my Dreadlord all finished expect for the dragon with time to spare and having done a test run in most of it. I decided to update my Supanova plans.

When I did my test run I found that my costume is kind of hard to walk around in. Not enough to put me off wearing it, but enough to make me rethink somethings. First of I am considering not making the dragon as it will only be yet another thing to carry around and I think I will have my hands full with my sword.

Second of all I am planning on doing a second cosplay. Yes I know I'm only going for one day. I know I know but I want to cosplay the whole day and lets face it, Dreadlord is not a all day near summer cosplay. My plan is Sabrina from the Pokemon Anime. I am going to make the younger version for one of my dolls and take her with me.

So in the morning I will be Dreadlord and in the afternoon if I get it done in time I will be Sabrina from Pokemon

AVcon haul 2015

With AVcon over I thought I would share the things I brought while at AVcon. Be warned I brought a bit.

This year I brought I brought quite a few Pokemon related things.

 Before AVcon I saw those Pikachus pop up on Facebook when a friend posted them. She was selling them at her stall and I knew I had to have them. So my first stop was at her stall to pick them up.

 Snorlax!!!!!

 I first this was cute.

 Those were super cute, I love how they even put tails on the back of them.

 I collect Pokemon cards and wanted to pick up more

 Those were at Culture Craft, a stall in Artist Ally.

I have been thinking about getting a new wallet and really liked this one.

I brought a few lolita things as well.

 This a Baby the Shines Bright letter writing kit.

 I really want to try my hand at a Hime coord and thought I would start with this.

 This is one of two bags I got.

 The other being this one.

I also won a raffle, and those were the things I won.

 Close of the rings.

 Close up of the earrings.

 I also brought two parasols.

 This is the other one.

 The black jumper I got for being gold pass, and the [ink one I brought

I also got this shirt for being gold pass

 I saw this faint Hello Kitty at a shop and had to get it, along with the smaller one

 I know a girl who has this beanie and wanted to get one for myself.

 I also got those four paints of Yaya Han

I got this one signed. 

 I also got those Doctor Who mugs, the two single ones change when there is something hot in it.

 I thought it suited geting a Weeping Angel.

And the Tadis was pretty cool too.

I also got this Tetrs mug which changes when something hot is in it.

My friend was also selling a few BJD things which I had to have.
