Otakon Aftermath (Pictures Fixed!)

Mood: Beh.
Currently working on: This pic of Dare from about a month ago...?

So, Otakon was a thing. :D Haha... Yeah. I went to Otakon this past weekend on Saturday and Sunday with my sisters and my sister's boyfriend. We dressed up and had a lot of fun! As I said in the previous post, I dressed up as Leorina from Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil for the PS2. Here's what my costume looked like:


(Idk if these'll show up, but hopefully it does. :V)
This was my first time making my costume instead of buying it, so I think it came out pretty decent...! xD; You can't see all of my horrendously uneven seams from far away. >3>;; I made the shirt, belt, ring, and crown, Takara helped me with the cape (I was busy cutting the pieces for her costume. xD), and Takara made the ascot for me because I was lazy. 8D I bought the boots, leggings, gloves, and wig.

I got recognized a couple times! 8D I wasn't really expecting to get recognized since not many people play the Klonoa games, but since my sisters and I made our costumes all from the same game I think it helped us be more recognizeable... So hooray! The only downside about this cosplay was that the boots were REALLY REALLY uncomfortable. My legs ached so bad when we came back on Saturday that I didn't wear the costume on Sunday. xD; But maybe I was just being dramatic. .u. but no, it really hurt

Aaanyways, while I didn't participate in any of the events (for some reason, we rarely do), I bought some stuff! :D I got

• A Professor Layton print
• A Tiger and Bunny print from jinglestan (who I very awkwardly met up with)
• A Gumshoe button also from jingle
• A Cardcaptor Sakura print
• A Raven and Beast Boy T-shirt
• This weird cute little keychain of a dragon-thing that was hilarious looking

...and I think that's it? It's more than I usually buy from cons. xD I always want to buy lots of prints, but they're all too good and I CAN'T CHOOSE AAAAGH. There was also this hilarious Professor Layton posable figure that I totally would've bought if it wasn't $60. xD It was funny because he was wedged between these robot figures and superhero figures. TOTALLY FITTING IN, PROFESSOR...

I wanted to stick around for the masquerade on Saturday, but it was too late for us. :T We thought it started at 7, but it actually started at 8 while the seating started at 7. POOP! But oh well. I probably wouldn't have been able to handle the walk to the stage, anyways, since it was in a separate building. xD my feet ohhhh

Anyways, that's that. The next convention I'm going to go to is probably Katsucon, which is usually in late winter. I'll probably be in the same costume, too. :V Woo hoo!

AGH, I CAN'T BELIEVE SUMMER IS ALMOST OVER.

Otakon!

Mood: Excited

Hey guys! I think I briefly mentioned that I'm going to Otakon this year. I meant to mention it earlier, but I kept pushing it off until the actual weekend of the convention... oops.

Anyway, I'll be at the convention on Saturday and Sunday. 8D Oh, and my older sister will be there too! This year we decided to try and actually make our costumes like REAL COSPLAYERS. ...although, we have almost no sewing experience, so... it was really rough. xD; We decided to more or less go as a Klonoa 2 cosplay group. I'm going as Leorina and Takara is going as Tat. We're actually still working on them...! ;u; HAHA... Takara's going to make my scarf, and I'm going to add a collar to her dress. Since our costumes aren't done, i can't really post pictures... but I'll try to post some pictures after the convention! :D
I'm assuming there's not going to be many Klonoa-themed cosplays, so if you're going to Otakon and you see a Tat, Leorina, and Klonoa, it's probably me and my sisters. Feel free to say hi if you see me! :D Though I don't really know if any of you are even going to Otakon this year... >u>

Aaaanyway, sorry for not really being active this past week. ""orz I've been busy working on my costume. (and being lazy...) I do check everything in my backroom, though. When the convention's over, I'll try to get back into the groove of things and comments/etc. :D

Also, it was my otakuversary on Tuesday! :D I actually thought it was yesterday... but I was wrong. -u-b This marks my 5th year on theOtaku.com. WOO HOO. I was actually wanting to be really cool by posting a thank you pic as my 300th picture on my otakuversary. But that didn't happen, so.... >3>;; It is almost my 300th picture upload, though. Anticipate it to be a thank you to everyone. 8D

HAPPY FRIDAY!
