What I'm Doing This Weekend

Thu Dec 10, 2009, 5:02 PM
Besides studying like mad for my finals, here's a bit of shameless promotion for the movie I've been dying to see since I saw its trailer:

The Lovely Bones

based on the book by Alice Sebold.

I've read the book, and own it, and love it so much I'm surprised its paperback spine isn't dead yet. This story is so touching, and judging by the movie's trailer, which I saw on YT, they stuck pretty closely to the actual storyline in the book.

I highly suggest you go see the movie, coming out tomorrow. :D I am!

Halloween Costume Status

Well, hello again!

I know I haven't updated in a while, since I've been pretty busy, and that along with sleeping problems I've had for a while make me lose a lot of sleep, so I'm tired a lot.

Anyway, about the new tutorial I've been planning: with all the hustle and bustle around Halloween for me, I ended up pretty much using BehindInfinity's tutorial (he and the rest of that group are some of my cosplay idols, along with the TnS group which includes :iconnanjokoji: and :iconevil-uke-sora: - check out their stuff!), so I'm going to link you to that one: [link]

I'm uploading some poor-quality pictures which were taken right before I went out on Halloween night, but I didn't edit them, so you've been warned, and I have yet to do a planned-out photoshoot. Still, they're up (or will be right after I post this) and I'm making a new ID when I have the time.

So thanks for watching me - and sorry my planned tutorial didn't work out (I'll try to do a better, more planned-out one for the next cosplay I make - two are having the concepts worked out in my head now). Enjoy the pictures, and enjoy Thanksgiving coming up!

Hey guys, sorry for the lag in updating.

I've been busy, but I made time to make a cosplay I can use for Halloween.

It's probably an overdone character, but I like it anyway.
(If you haven't noticed, I'm not going to tell you who it is - look and I'll upload pictures of it soon.)

The main part is now done, but needs a couple accessories added.
And I still need to buy the wig. -__-;
I hate doing that online since I can't see the color properly, nor the amount of hair actually on the wig (a lot of places skimp on parts, which is bad especially since the character I'm doing has short hair...).

Oh well.


Oh, and with the wig I end up buying, I'll do another tutorial. So look for it soon!


Like always, thanks for reading!

Hey, guys.
This is basically a quick update to let you know I haven't forgotten about my account and promises to post more tutorials.
I'm hoping to work on more cosplay stuff soon, so look forward to that.

I'm just so dang busy, and tired to boot.
Four hours of sleep last night, and no more than six each night for almost two weeks.
Arghhhh.....I need sleep.


EDIT:
I've been asked permission for my Spiking a Wig tutorial to be part of [link]
Go take a look when it's finished!

Hey, DA. Sorry I have been a bit inactive lately, I've been busy.

I'm using my Intuos4 more now, so hopefully I'll have some more things to show you soon!
I've just uploaded one for now.

I really need to find a cool papery texture to start putting on my images...oh well. I'll keep looking. ^_^

I'm also getting back into crafting and sewing, so I hope to have another tutorial up sometime.

Thanks for watching!
