I'm totally in. I'm bringing Wendy and Pacifica, as well as a revised version of the Mabel I wore for Halloween.

If the meet happens--and I hope it does--I'll probably go as Pacifica, since I doubt there'll be many of her...that, and the cosplay looks pretty good so far. :P

Alrighty, thanks! :)

Will both badges get you into the same con(s)? A friend of mine is picking up her badge in the CA line, but I'm only planning on attending Fanime...

If you go to the registration page and hit the "resend confirmation email" thing, you'll get it. I'm not sure if they've gone out other than that.

(probably worded that confusingly, sorry)

Ahh, alright. :) Thanks!

I was simply asking if the emails had been sent. No need to get upset, EJAY.

Plus, I get terribly anxious on the phone.

Any idea if the e-postcards have been sent?

Hi, I just wanna make sure my auditions have gotten to your email. Could you please let me know if you received them? I signed the email as Simba.

Same here. I remember last year those who didn't get in got an email saying they weren't accepted, but I haven't received anything either way, so I'm kind of in limbo here.

So it's looking like I might be able to audition for Aradia as well. The only caveat is that I'd only be willing to do her for the all-ages panel (long story), but I can still work on my audition for ya. :)

I believe I sent my apps in as well. :)

I don't think I ever got my application? I remember sending a request for one a while back...my email is aceyarisen at hotmail dot com. NEVER MIND, found it! It just got buried under other things, haha. :D

...21stuck group, eh? *turned 21 last month*

If you need a shouter, I'd be happy to fill that role. I'm loud.

(Disregard. Made the mistake of posting while drunk.)

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to check out that tutorial. :)

I should note that I won't be able to be Damara anymore, probably. However, I can still audition for Meenah, and I can audition for Jane as well. :)

Sliced bread (or rather, pre-sliced bread) wasn't sold until 1928.

I apologize if this has already been asked, and I know it's probably a super obvious question, but...how does one go about contouring troll makeup? I'm doing two troll cosplays this year (Damara and Meenah), and I want them to look really good, including the makeup, but I'm a bit clueless.

This is Homestuck right? (not a big Homestuck fan) I would suggest trying to find a tutorial on Youtube (I'm sure they are out there). But from what I've heard, and from my limited experience in costume makeup, it tends to be a lot of trial and error. Sometime you just have to try a bunch of different things and go with what works the best.

(Sorry for the late reply!)

Do you know if there are any non-video tutorials? I tend to get confused by video tutorials, what with having to pause constantly and such.

EDIT: I also have another issue I could use some insight on. I'm copy-pasting it from my FB.

So I've not started ANY of my cosplays for Fanime. I also realized that I likely won't be there on Day 0, at least not for long enough to justify making a cosplay for that day.

I'm still gonna be doing Meenah for sure--that's currently the only one I'm sure of. I'll also likely be doing Jane, since I have most of the stuff for her already.

But that's only two cosplays for a three-day con. I'd like to bring at LEAST three total, preferably four.

Right now, these are the ones I'm considering:

-Rarity.
Pros: I've wanted to cosplay her forever and I think I could pull her off.
Cons: Kind of scared to, what with all the creepiness in some parts of the fandom. Also, finding a good white dress will probably be hell.

-Hex Maniac.
Pros: Looks fairly simple, and would definitely be a lot of fun.
Cons: Might get hot, since it's San Jose in late May and the costume is long-sleeved, dark in color, and also features a long, dark wig.

-Aradiana Jones.
Pros: Mostly complete--I just need to get new pants (or even just repair my current ones) and a new hat. And it got a really good reception at Halloweenstuck.
Cons: Same as Hex Maniac--it was a warm enough costume on Halloween!

-Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way.
Pros: I've wanted to cosplay Enoby for SO LONG. The outfit itself would be pretty easy to put together, too.
Cons: That FUCKING wig. How would I go about that?!

-Aranea Serket.
Pros: Looks pretty simple overall.
Cons: The horns. I had a pair of Serket horns, but they broke because I suck at storing shit like that...and since someone else made them, I'm not sure how I'd go about making my own. Fucking Serket horns, man.

I'm open to suggestions as well. My fandoms that I feel I can currently cosplay (for those not in the know) are Homestuck (duh), Pokemon, MLP:FIM, and Gravity Falls.

It's not an anime song, but I'd be thrilled if you played The End Of The Tour by They Might Be Giants. It's pretty romantic, IMO.

Here's a current pic!



And since this is a happy picture thread, here's a pic my mom took of me last year, mid-laugh:
