Other costumed hobbies

[Vixy]

I know there's a few larpers, cosplayers here.

What else do you guys do part from being a mer?

I myself dress like a pirate for a charity, I'm also making Visas Marr for 501st Legion. I also do medieval reenacment and getting into WW2. I'm also into steampunk. I like dressing like a fairy too :D

[Mermaid Momo]

Cosplay,steampunk, and fairy costuming :)

I have done some cosplay myself, but heck any excuse to dress up I will take. I posted in another post some of my costumes:

http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?7901-The-Pains-of-Being-a-Not-So-Little-Mermaid&p=124570&viewfull=1#post124570

After the wall of text, you can see three of my other costumes, though the unicorn one is too big now and I do not wear it anymore. The head of the unicorn was cumbersome and would hurt my neck (even with added supports connecting to other parts of the costume) if worn for more than 2 hours.

[Ilyena]

Pretty much the same, cosplay, LARP, occasional medieval when I have the time. few starwars characters XP, yes I prefer to keep that separate as well..cause it's Starwars, no explanation needed (for me anyway :P)

[Ottery]

I do cosplay (working on a wizzrobe cosplay right now) and I also want to get into larping soon! I'm also working on a faun costume, since I really like half human things. ^_^

[MerAnthony]

Little_Orca the unicorn is pretty cool.

[Mermaid Crystal Shimmer]

I do Cosplay too ^_^
Currently working on a Scar cosplay, and I'll be cosplaying Ariel (town dress) too. I've cosplayed Kida (Atlantis) in the past, did some Post Apocalyptic stuff, Made a Rosepetal dress (hell a lot of work!), Vampire and much more. =)

[Azurin Luna]

I do LARP and fursuiting besides being a mermaid :)

20773
My drow costume

20774
My first selfmade fursuit

20775
My second fursuit, for which I'm now making it's head and arms.

[Echidna]

I own a plethora of gothic/medieval garb, which I usually wear when performing on my harp.
I used to dance in some of my fairy costumes, and I've used bellydance props (wings + veils) for other dance styles (combining tails with wings and doing merdance is s much fun).

I also love to wear hanfu and qipao (traditional chinese clothing) of which I have far too many.

[Mermaid Fenicia]

All my private costumes that I use for conventions, face-painting and performing. ;) http://users.telenet.be/the-mermaid/pics/fenicia/cosplay.htm

[Vixy]

I do want to get a fursuit, I'm going to try my hand in making it.

[Mermaid Jessica Pearl]

I have cosplayed a feminised 11th Doctor, Spyro the dragon, Pikachu, a Feminised Darth Vader and a Fairy. I am currently working on a steampunk ariel costume, lulu from ffx and a fairy queen. One day I want to do a Jessica Rabbit but I don't know if I will ever have the confidence. Haha!

[MermaidBrandie]

I'm a furry and have made a few fursuits. Also I'm just getting into the S.C.A. Here's the last fursuit I made before I took it apart:

[SummerRogue]

My sister is a furry :)

[Lorelei]

I cosplay quite often :)
Just a few examples:
20831 20832
{Disney's Merida}
20833
{Not sure anyone will know this one, Suiseiseki from Rozen Maiden}
20830
I recently did Ariel, just to name a few :)
I also loved to attend the annual KMVR Celtic Festival (great way to celebrate my scottish heritage), although I'm so sad I can't anymore due to the timing and now living away from Cali :( (I was one of the mermaids there).
20828 20829
My boyfriend is also a furry, struggling to make or buy his first suit :)

[Ashe]

I was interested in furries last year, but it was a phase that never really grew into much. I really want to make a fur suit though just for the fun of it :)

I would also cosplay like crazy if I had the money. I'm great at sewing and I love making my own costumes. My friend and I are going to an amine con this summer and as much as we wanted to work on cool elaborate cosplays, I'm putting all my spending money towards the tail I'm making.

[MermaidBrandie]

Kalani, you should do it! Fursuiting is fun! I've been a furry since I was 13 or so, liked how welcoming the community was. :)

[Delphine]

Whoo, these are great guys! Love how varied your costumes are! Ah, I knew there had to be others interested in costumes besides mers. I'm working on a faerie (fairy/faery) costume now, though want to do another mermaid, dragon & other fantastical half-humans. Used to go to some conventions, and I always loved the gorgeous, handmade costumes. Lots of different fantasy types, and medieval costumes.. so lovely.

My current Faerie costume project, you can find on here: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?7956-Fluttering-into-a-Faerie-(Making-Faerie-Wings-for-Aurianne)

And Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...-into-a-faerie (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/belletomermaid/fluttering-into-a-faerie)

[MerEmma]

Kalani, you should do it! Fursuiting is fun! I've been a furry since I was 13 or so, liked how welcoming the community was. :)

I've had the opposite experience. I find the mermaid community the most welcoming I've ever seen (incredibly so--it's so pleasant & nice here) but I feel like the majority of furries aren't very welcoming. There are bad apples everywhere of course, but rude furries to me seem to be more at large.

For me, I'm currently working on a dinosaur costume (link in my signature). I'd love to do more complicated and harder costumes and intend to but this current raptor project has worn me out big time.

[Vixy]

I've been looking at Clockwork Creatures and Beetlecat as inspiration for my fursuit. Completely way above dreams though!

I'm off to a fairy festival in June and need to get going on doing my fairy clothing, I'm gonna love dressing like a fairy :D

[Starfrit]

Casual cosplayer, and I usually go to the local sci-fi con as my personal character, a faun:

20844

I was a furry for about a decade, got the hell out of there about about two years ago and never looked back. There are some great people, but compared to other fandoms, there's some awful shit that goes down in there and I just couldn't handle being a part of it and being associated with it anymore. Doesn't help that my ex-fiancé, who got me into the fandom in the first place, was a goddamn abusive psychopath.

Never owned my own fursuit, but I did borrow a friend of mine's at the sci-fi con a few years back:

20845

I'm really hoping to get into LARPing eventually, but unfortunately there aren't any groups like that around here. :c

[Azurin Luna]

Yeah, we have had our share of furrydrama too, but lucky for us, the drama makers left on their own and now the group is fun again. I'm going to fursuit next weekend as a goat :)

[Merman Dan]

I occasionally moonlight as Captain Calamari ;)

[Ilyena]

That is cool...then sun roof has to be down dawww >_<

[Squall]

Another furry here, have got a couple of fursuits. My first I've had for nearly seven years and is a sword carrying gryphon because why not, is showing its age a bit now though. And yeah, it should have wings, but I was ripped off and they never arrived.

http://harrisr22.fsnet.co.uk/mnfsuit/DSC_0083.JPG http://harrisr22.fsnet.co.uk/mnfsuit/DSC_0325.JPG

Possibly one of the cutest moments I've had as the gryph.

http://harrisr22.fsnet.co.uk/mnfsuit/DSC_0452.JPG

This suit has somehow managed to get around a bit, it is featured in a book on cosplay, is part of a photography project featuring fursuits (http://www.tombroadbent.com/gallery/the_furries/) and got a full page spread in a Sunday Times supplement. (below)

http://harrisr22.fsnet.co.uk/mnfsuit/sundaytimesgryph.jpg

My other suit is that of a crow, is quite new to me and I've only been out once in it so far so only have one photo.

http://harrisr22.fsnet.co.uk/mnfsuit/DSC00163.JPG

@MerEmma: Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with furries, we're not all bad, honest.

[Mermaid Lorelei]

I don't have any pictures of them yet, but I'm working on a couple of new costumes; gypsy, faun, and faerie.

I've also spent some time in the world of kimono.

And my time as a ninja.
http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/202/0/5/ninja___urban_assassin_by_ninjagimli-d418w5v.jpg

I have a pirate outfit as well, but I can't find any good pictures of it. Oh well. :P

I'd love to do more complicated and harder costumes and intend to but this current raptor project has worn me out big time.That's true. I found a lot of therians (a subset in the furry umbrella) tend to be the most hard to get along with. I go to a lot of live furry meetups and have had no problems. Even people I don't like and who don't like me are polite. :)

[MermaidBrandie]

Also, wow! So many furries!! I love Clockwork and Beetlecat!!

When I get my tail done I plan to wear it at the next furmeet :)

[Sephina]

I cosplay, wear kimono, a Japanese fashion called Lolita (has nothing to do with the book), and I'm attempting to get back into SCA.

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

I never was able to settle on one furry species, though I appreciate the aesthetic. I do go to conventions (Wizard World Philadelphia and Faeriecon), and last Halloween I made a pretty awesome Jack Frost costume. A friend also has a mythical creatures costume party every year on the summer solstice (where the rule is guests must come as something that doesn't exist, from dragons to sober frat boys) where I have gone as a peanut butter and jellyfish and as a Fairy Godfather (who was there to make Cinderella an offer she couldn't refuse). Still trying to decide what to go as this year.

[Aziara]

I'm currently working on some garb for ren faires. It's going to be a skyrim inspired huntress/alchemist, with little hints that I might be a werewolf in human form ;) To quote the nosy town guards: "Is that fur? Coming out of your ears?" I'll also be wearing claws and perhaps yellow contact lenses.

I like the idea, but I think it'd be more funny if you went as a guard with an arrow sticking out of a kneepad :)

Ah ha ha ha!

[Mermaid Pickles]

I have three kimono, a bit of anime stuff, mainly Bleach, and now working on a Shingeki No Kyojin Sasha outfit, which is something of a joke in my circle of cosplay friends, mainly because according to family legend, my last name means potato starch. I also have a rather colorful piratey Assassin outfit I put together over the span of a year, and love it to death. It's my go-to renfest outfit along with being the outfit people know me by at the conventions I go to. I am the "blue assassin girl". I also have an outfit nearly identical to the outfit the fallen angel Anna in supernatural wears, which again, is a running joke because I'm a readhead and my name is Anna.

[Mizuko]

When I'm not a mermaid I'm contracted out by a local party business, so I get to be Disney Princesses a lot :) I also cosplay and sew- I've made a few medieval dresses for events, and I'm sewing my first corset currently! I dabbled in kimono and I used to wear lolita and gyaru styles from Japan; but my costumes and mermaid life took over so I dont do either anymore. lol! Currently I'm working on Ariel's pink ball gown for a convention in July! :D (and her tail, but thats for mermaiding, haha!)

[Mermaid Pickles]

Oooooooh~!

[Mermaid Muir]

I enjoy cosplaying but until I work up my skills I'm doing it with duct tape (you'd be surprised how many things can be made with just the tape and velcro). I've been interested in fursuiting because it looks like a lot of fun!

[Vixy]

I'm working on a succubus costume for an Expo, at the moment I'm working on a horned headdress and will be making a belly dancing outfit to go with it. She's going to have slight blueish skin and a tail.

[SeaGlass Siren]

well... last time, i went as the Lady of the Lake... recent one i did was Maleficent for a GoT party and i didn't have a dragon costume. then i went as Black-DigiCharat (black hat and black paws, and black lolita dress as opposed to white hate, white paws...) a few year back i was a Lolita-dummy (which was a good idea in theory because i wanted to rid my irrational fear of dummies, but i ended up scaring myself everytime i saw myself in the mirror)

[Azurin Luna]

Here is my finished fursuit :D
The kids loved her very much

[Vixy]

I do like High School of the Dead :) I like dressing up like a zombie, got into sfx make up just to do some elaborate zombie makeup.

I've done it and created another creature idea. This time a forest spirit with stilt legs with all sort in the design. I really like the tree growing out of the creature's back :D I look forward to making this design a reality.

[Azurin Luna]

Aww that's really cute! How do you see out of it?

Thank you :D
I can see from the pupil in the eyes, it's black silk that is see-through, and one way see-through if the other side is dark ^_^
though I do have a big blind spot in front of me, if someone is standing exactly in front of me, I can't see him or her. But that is the only downside of it, actually

[Mermaid Catkid]

LOL luna i can imagine you running into a little kid as a cute furry, then trying to explain.
as for me im secretly into the vampire/werewolf/dragon community. if i ever get enough money i would LOVE to cosplay as Loki or someone else
PS: I'm ordering a real wolf and fake tiger tail soon

[Azurin Luna]

That's why we have spotters to keep the kids safe... and the mens privates when encountering poles ;)

[Mermaid Clara]

I'm currently working on a few characters, Kelly the Fairy or Kelly the Rainbow Fairy and Kelly the Pirate. right now I'm just gathering inspiration and I won't be working on the other character until I finish my latex mermaid tail

[shimmygoddess]

I am a bellydancer so I have LOTS of costumes for that ;)

http://www.electricshimmy.com/blog/?page_id=203

[Azurin Luna]

Oh, love your costumes! I have just one simple back bellydance costume, and now that the teacher isn't going to continue with her lessons, I need to find a different place for dancing

[Vixy]

I recently dressed up like a twi'lek from Star Wars at Manchester con. Well last month. My friend made the latex lekku but I hope to make some myself one day.

[Sherielle]

My latest cosplay is a crossplay of Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Star Trek: The original series. This is a pic of me with my husband as The Comedian.23713

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I like to pretend I'm a bear whilst wearing a fluffy scarf (in winter only) whilst weaving another scarf. Does that count?

[Blaze]

Heh... toooo many hobbies with costumes in them! Medieval reenactment (www.sca.org (http://www.sca.org)), burlesque, belly dance, scifi cons...

Lotsa pics here: www.RedRoseRegalia.com (http://www.RedRoseRegalia.com)

There's the pic, I like being blue it was fun.

[Ilyena]

As a fellow Twi'lek cosplayer being blue is fun!! :P Though showering after makes it look like you killed a smurf.

[Vixy]

Blue surprisingly suited me! :D It was really fun and I look forward doing it again, although will have to get proper body paint to do it. Will be getting a set of jedi robes to properly troop with the Rebel Legion as they were lovely and included me in their walk about ^_^

Asari is going to be next I think, maybe a borg.

[Ilyena]

Sounds like fun!! Would love to see it.
23882
I gotta remake my lekku though, not that happy with these (more like the males ones XP)

[Vixy]

I found the lekku quite heavy walking around the convention, I like the idea of making one to wrap around my neck.

Did you make yours?

[Mermaid Viktoria]

Love cosplaying! I'm working on Jibril from No Game No Life at the moment. First time making wings that don't require a harness, and I'm pretty pleased with them!
Here are a few photos of my cosplays, more are at my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/VictoriaVaughnCosplay

Asuna from Sword Art Online
23981

MJ from Spider-Man
23982

Lara Croft from Tomb Raider
23983

and Nami from One Piece
23984

:D

[Ilyena]

I found them quite alright, besides getting warm due to being packed inside and the latex stuck to my head XP. I made mine so they're hollow latex but filled with the beanbag balls and stuffing, they could bend around my neck if i wished but they creased and looked funny to me >_<.

What were yours stuffed with?

[Vixy]

Stuffing from things like teddy bears, packed quite tightly. My friend made the pair I have now but I may try and make my own pair.

[Ilyena]

If they're made from latex perhaps taking some of the stuffing from down lower? and making it not as tightly packed, from what I found the only place which should be tight is near the top (scalp). Latex holds its shape quite well, well anything does really even lightly stuffed. I think the hardest part of making them was the colouring lol, latex dries a different colour than it looks

[Vixy]

It streaked when my friend made it, although we only had a couple of days to make my lekku for the con. Hopefully when I make my own pair I have enough time to do it proper.

I'm hoping to do a tortuga one day.

[Carousel_Moon]

I've tried a bit of fursuiting but i prefer to call it creature-costuming :)

I REALLY wanna cosplay in Star Trek uniforms though! *trekkieforlife*

[Triton-Mahtlinnie]

Another furry here. I've made several fursuits over the years.

26526

My usual suit is Rhamphy, a pterosaur.

I've also made a few others, like this guy.

26527

Besides fursuiting, I am also sometimes a robot.

26528 26529

[Mermaid Wesley]

Sweet! Love the pterosaur

Omigosh, Ed, the design and way you managed to pull off Rhamphy is so awesome! I am seriously impressed!

[Miyu]

Umph, Ed, I can't get over the awesome-ness of your 'bot :cool:

I'm going to be looking into how to create a fursuit for my Pony OC (based on My Little Pony, of course). It will be my first foray into fursuiting. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a complete image of my pony, I'm awaiting a friend of a friend to draw up the cutie mark.

[Mer-Crazy]

This is probably my best cosplay I've made, real working speakers put into the coat and I actually bleached, cut and dyed my hair for it (having never dyed my hair before I cried):

26542

[Miyu]

VOCALOID? :swoon:

[Mer-Crazy]

Oh my gosh someone finally recognises it! I walked aronud all weekend not one person realised who I was haha! I am now in love with you. <3

[Miyu]

Whaaaaat? I thought it was pretty recognizable. Then again, maybe Vocaloids aren't so popular in your area? I don't even know what's popular where I live, I am a citizen of the internet culture :p

But I go crazy for Vocaloids, LOL!


...I also have a strong desire to dress in Star Trek uniforms... I recently watched all of TNG and just drooled over all the clothes, LOL!

[Mermaid Kelda]

Miku's Love Is War <3
Though Rin/Len come in a close second for me :) I love their harmonisings!

[Lucinda]

I used to do drama club at school and a bit of larping in my late teens and early twenties, but I found that neither was really right for me.

Drama club seemed like fun at first, but far too often it degenerated either into a duel of clashing egos or just a coffee-drinking club. For example, there was this one kid who far into the rehersals started changing his lines just because he didn't like his character. I told him that its too late for that and then he he didn't want to be in the play at all! It was just too much of the wrong kind of drama. So eventually I picked up larp instead.

Initially, when I started larping I was happy to take breaks from my real life which was miserable at the time. But as the years passed, I was enjoying larp less and worried more and more that my role performances weren't living up to the expectations of the other participants. I also briefly hung out with a group of history larpers, but ultimately left that group because of safety concerns (the group has a tendency to gravitate toward a certain smallish cliff in the woods. It 's pictoresque and away from the gawking of joggers, dog-walkers and other passerbys but given how clumsy and uncoordinated I can be, it's also a potentially dangerous place... at least for me). So I lost interest in larping as well.

Mermaiding has thus far been a much better match for me. There's just more individual freedom in it and I can conviniently combine so many of my other interests (swimming, costuming, environmental issues etc.)

[AptaMer]

...I also have a strong desire to dress in Star Trek uniforms...

Love this picture

26568

A truly skilled mer-trekkie could totally cosplay this.

[Lorelei]

When I saw the photo earlier on my mobile, I was actually going to ask because it looked very vocaloid familiar! :D Funny, I just received my SeeU cosplay last week. So awesome seeing someone else cosplay vocaloid as well! :)

Heres a couple of my cosplays:

[Vixy]

Awesome costumes guys!

I'm planning on having a few Star Trek uniforms, I'm also learning how to do prosthetic makeup so may try other races. Vulcan is a must, and thinking of some others. Argonian I love as I somehow go well as blue :D

[Miyu]

Ok, now I'm trying to figure out "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" fursuits. Of course the ONLY kind of fursuit I'm vaguely interested in has to be one with practically no resources online... I can find plenty of tutorials for making the head, but they're all irrelevant since I'm planning on buying a head base from Atalon. I'm trying to figure out how best to do these hooves, specifically the hands. My biggest issue is that I pretty much refuse to use foam, for many reasons (mostly my allergies), so I'm planning on creating all the padding with custom removable "pillows" I'll be making.

I've even figured out how I'm doing the legs, but the finishing/enclosing of the bottom of the hoof is also stumping me.

[SummerRogue]

Miyu , Are you on furaffinity forums? You could ask there how to build without foam there , you'll probably find more help than here :)

[Miyu]

I am not. I hadn't thought to join, since my interest in fursuiting is extremely narrow, I've just been surfing the net trying to see what others have written on the subject. I may have to go make an account simply to ask questions about pony stuff... Oh geez they're going to love that, LOL! :p

[SummerRogue]

Lol I don't think they'd mind :)

Have you looked at Draenei from World of Warcraft as well as larp satyrs? I've been looking and they've also got some good tips on making hooves.

[Miyu]

Hmm, well I suppose I'll join and try not to be the obnoxious pony fan in the furry forums ;)

LOL no, I hadn't really thought of any WOW characters, I'm rather unfamiliar with the game's details :p Satyr hooves seem to be quite a bit on the small side for what I'm going for.

I've been looking at what horse hoof tutorials I can find, and they're helping some with the legs, but the problem I'm running into is the specific shape of the hooves in the Friendship is Magic series - it's huge, flared legs (pretty much like legwarmers). Most "regular" fursuit hooves make use of the regular shape of the bottom of the shoe, but these hooves are practically a whole circle around my foot. I'm wondering if I need to cut a piece of plastic out and bolt some shoes to that, then build the stuffing/fur combo around that? I was trying to avoid that because it hinders the flexibility of my shoe and prevents me from "feeling" the ground.

Hmm... I may go try and pester Atalon some more, and see if they can lend me any insight.

[SummerRogue]

I'm cosplaying as an Orc for megacon this year and I had to look up how to cut fur and honestly they know what they're talking about on furaffinity

@ Miyu: you could also try the fursuiting livejournal. The memories and archives there have info on pretty much everything fursuit related ever.

[Miyu]

Thank you for the link Ed :) I think I've come across a few of the threads on there in my searches. It seems that the MLP fursuiters are a rather small community, because a lot of other fursuiters/furries really seem to have something against them? :rolleyes:

[Fun123joker]

other people are posting thier awesome cosplays so here are a few of my favorites

YUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSS

:swoon:


I've been wanting to make a leather "Petes" mask myself... because I have too much random leather and it's all worn and would make a nice "wood" mask :p

[Vixy]

What's everyone's cosplay plans this year?

I know I'm planning on a jawa to finally join the 501st Legion and I'm looking at a Sith Pureblood from The Old Republic. Maybe some WoW costumes. Looking at doing a Stargate uniform.

I'm working on a Wolverine crossplay

[Tolgarr]

I make costumes. Just randomly.
I made a satyr costume recently.

I can't seem to upload any other pictures. All too big and it won't resize them for me.

We are currently working on a Tauntaun from Starwars and a Robotic Bird build from League of Legends. Valor. I'm so excited to see these finished!

[Mermaid Fenicia]

First I'm planning on repairing some of my older outfits, like my Sailor Mars (bodysuit and skirt) , Eternal Sailor Moon (yellow skirt, hairclips and wings), Belle's golden dress (top of the dress) and my Xena-outfit (armor). The I still need to make 2 different kinds of shiny Gardevoir-dresses for my boyfriend. And after that I'm still want to my Sugar (from Tiny Snowfairy Sugar) and 1 special Disney-prinssess ballgown. One of the first new outfits for this year is already done: ice-queen Elsa ;)

I'm hopefully heading to Japan, so I'm just doing two costumes. Edea from Final Fantasy 8, and Dr. Nora Barlow from the Leviathan series which will get all the I want to make a victorian dress out of my system. lol

[Sephina]

I just realized I mentioned I cosplay, but I haven't posted any photos yet! So here are a couple of my favorite:
26905
Ice Queen from Adventure Time
26906
DLC Late but Lucky Dress from Alice: Madness Returns
26907
And this is my Ultimate favorite, Marie Antoinette from Takarazuka: Rose of Versailles

[Mermaid Muir]

I love your cosplays!

Hopefully I'll either buy or make Asuka's plugsuit from Evangelion, maybe a batgirl costume and other plans may pop up as the year goes on

[theredknight100]

Another furry here. I've made several fursuits over the years.

26526

My usual suit is Rhamphy, a pterosaur.

I've also made a few others, like this guy.

26527

Besides fursuiting, I am also sometimes a robot.

26528 26529

whoa and I though I was the only furry/merman around :O Ed's fursuites are amazing to look at plus planning on getting a fursuite as well :)

[jvry8c]

My first cosplay was a horse satyr (sileni I think is the real term for that) OC I did for Renaissance faire. It was very hard to walk more than a few feet without someone rushing up wanting to take my picture. Also I was nearly 7ft tall in the whole get up and was EXTREMELY HOT with my lower body covered in fur in august heat. Totally worth it though :D . Me and some friends are working on a group starfox costume in the fall. I was going to go as Falco and set it up so it can easily be converted to Mordecai from Regular show. Any who here are two photos of my satyr costume.

[Joy&RaptorsUnrestrained!]

Man, impressive silenus costume, jvry8c!

As for my plans, I'm uncertain... I'd love to go to Faeriecon East this year, and I'd also like to go to both Merfest events, but not sure I'll have enough funds for all of them. If I did go to Faeriecon, I'd probably wear my Jack Frost costume and maybe my Faerie Godfather outfit during the day, and I'd like to make a selkie costume for the good faeries ball and a ganconer one for the bad faeries ball. I have also been wanting to make a sphinx (combination Greek and Egyptian), a King Ghidorah (the three-headed dragon from Godzilla movies), a tenth, a hydra, a chimera, a kraken, and an archangel (from the X-men) costume.

[Azurin Luna]

That is one nice costume jvry8c :D
How did you made your digilegs? I made a pair before, but I always like to know how others did them to see if I can improve mine :)

I'm going to make a new fursuit, a sergal
27101

[jvry8c]

:D thank you. Alot of the credit needs to go to Melissa Weber who did 80% of the legs. I only extended the white part (was a tad short when I got it) to make look more like the legs of a Clydesdale or Gypsy horse. They were built around pajama pants with foam glued on to give it the digitigrade look.

Same here. Because WHY THE HECK NOT

I've been known my entire life for cutting up clothes and turning them into fashion designs and costumes. I used to get in trouble for cutting up clothes, LOL... Now it's accepted that I am crazy with the scissors :cool:

[MotorCityMerman]

This seems like a bit of an older thread, but I might as well throw my hat in as a newb around here.

Cool!
I've seen those satyr legs before when I was searching to see how to make them :)

[Artisankatie]

The only cosplaying that I've ever gotten into is Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
Mostly I stick to fairies and mermaids.
