Title: Help for a Friend
Description: Making a costume
Krat - June 18, 2008 01:45 AM (GMT)
Oh, here's the deal. Friend of mine, Kutsu, asked me to drop a line in the club for anyone who is skilled in making a full cosplay outfit. He's posted a few myspace bulletins and the like, but I figured someone among us would be a more reliable source than the random parts of the mighty internets. He wrote this up for me to post, so please to take a look and if you're interested, contact me and I'll connect you with ol' Kutsu.
...I need help with getting a costume together. What kind of help? Well...help as in I can't make anything at all. I can pay for like, supplies and whatnot, but that's about it.
I'm hoping to get two costumes set up. One simple one, one not-so-simple. The first one is gonna be my good buddy Yan Valentine from Hellsing again, only this time I wanna look good, not like I just went to Wal-mart and bought some random clothes (Which I did). He should be pretty easy, and I already have the hat, gloves and piercings from last time. Sadly, my gun also got broke last time, so I'll just replace that, and also buy a second one since he has two. I'd also probably invest in a good wig since my hair doesn't like staying straight and I'll probably wind up cutting it again soon enough. Which really just leaves the pants and jacket, which are both so alarmingly simple that I'm actually a little ashamed to ask for help with this...but I'm hopeless so it doesn't matter. xD
The other one...Altair, from Assassin's Creed. Now HE will be hard. And expensive. But luckily I have time and money...and he's probably gonna be my Nekocon cosplay anyways which is quite a ways off from now. I almost was him for AMA, but due to a check getting lost in the mail it never happened...Next time it's either gonna be a hand-delivered check or the awesomeness that is Paypal. Probably Paypal. >_>
But anywho, if you think you can help or know somebody that could, lemme know. I don't wanna push this off 'til the last minute like I always do. And if anyone's interested, I have an old Allen Walker outfit someone can have if they can help me out...you just gotta wash out the red on the sleeves, since after the giant arm we made wound up breaking I just kinda...painted my arm red to make up for it. That was a three-hour shower that I'll never forget. u.u
Well there you have it. If you can help him out feel free to get in touch with me so I can get you in touch with him! Any help would be greatly appreciated from both him and myself!

you/he may already know this but there is an
Altair Costume at
CosplayMagic.com pretty damn expensive though (360$.$)

I really wish I could help, but I suck at making costumes...=( I can take stuff up, and hem, but thats about it.

Yan looks like you could just take a sweatsuit type thing from a cheap store and sew some trim on it. Not too bad. :D
He might want to buy the other costume. Looks complicated... <<

Crud, I wrote a mesage and then I accidentally pressed a button and it deleted everything I was gonna say. Grrr. Oh well. Anyways, I make costumes. I learned when I was in high school drama. (Woot drama, but not Hickory, they use microphones). I had a lot to say in my last post, not too much, but, well, I can't remember it all right now. Franky's singing and I have fetuccini pasta in front of me. Contact me on AIM if ya wanna talk or talk for your friend. And I'd have to meet up with your friend to figure things out. Gotta see how the body forms. And, well, I uh, might be a little cautious about that since I've never officially met ya or your friend. Had too many horror stories told to me by my over protective mother... But yeah, I'll show you some of what I've made before and you can decide for yourself. And the guy from Assasin's Creed shouldn't be too hard. Mostly drapery, or small sewings. Anywho, send me a text. I'm on late usually. From 10 to about 2 maybe. Depends. Gonna watch anime now. See ya.

Alan, you so silly. Krat's the secretary, Theron. You've definitely met him. XD
