Title: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Kandybar on February 20, 2008, 12:59:34 PM
I'm started work on a Titania from Path of Radiance costume, and I was wondering if anyone else was working on Fire Emblem costumes for Fanime. 

Titania's a little crazy (wig styling, lots of armor, etc), so it might have to be held off until Comic Con, especially if no one's going to know who I am.

It would be awesome to see another FE cosplayer. Years back I saw someone do a cosplay of the tactician (sp?) from FE 7. Good luck with your Titania outfit. :)

Hey, I see you've started a thread over here too! XD

I'll comment over here too. <3 I'll be going as Soren! I'll be doing his outfit from FE10. I've currently bought most of all the cloth I need. I'm going to get to cutting up stuff this weekend. Hopefully I can put together things soon. I probably won't get a wig since I think I can pull off Soren's hair.

Titania's hair must be hard to do. Her armor too. :O

Not to mention the thigh-high boots that must be made from scratch.  ;D  Yeah, yeah, not terribly frustrated with the costume yet but we'll probably get there.

Haha yes, the boots too. Brown boots are probably easier to find, but I'm gong to make brown boot covers to go along with these brown shoes I have. Hope that works. XD

I've made boots covers before, but since Titania wears heels I'm going to try to make actual boots this year - I have some base heels to use, so I figure I'll make the boot itself and then glue it onto the heels and hope it stays.

Some day I will pick a character to play where I can use my own hair (I have long blond hair) but it is not this year.  ;D

I thought about doing Leanne but the wings!  Oh, the wings.  I've tried wings in the past, and I'd rather try my hand at boots and armor and madness before I go back there for a while.  :D

My wig should be here today or tomorrow!  Yay!
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: lucathia on March 03, 2008, 02:21:33 PM
Her wings are huuuge. I've done fairy like wings before and that was already pretty hard. Leanne's wings...would require a lot of feathers. That'd be pricey!

It'd be very impressive though. :3

Wow, you're ordering your wig pretty early! I'm always uh, hoping my wig would arrive on time when I'm nearing convention time. XD Last time, my wig came the day before I was going to wear it!
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Kandybar on March 03, 2008, 02:25:57 PM
Well, it'll need to be styled, and I might have to get some extra hair to sew in to make it thicker, so I figured earlier would be better so I wasn't trying to get things done last minute.  (That'll be reserved for the armor!  :D )

Pricey and heavy! Very impressive, though, I agree.  If someone did a bird laguz cosplay, I might just die from happiness.

DUDE, I FREAKING LOVE YOU. <3 <3 <3

I also am planning a Titania cosplay. ;D  (Not this year, though.  Probably not for a long time, actually.  Lotsa work. XD)

I'm so happy to hear that someone is cosplaying a Fire Emblem character!  I'm definitely going hunting for you this year. 8D  PREPARE FOR THE GLOMP-VON-DEATH!!

(I actually might do Naesala one year.  Who knows?  ...Ack!  Getting off-topic. XD)

Anyway, good luck with your costume!  I'll totally look for you (along with any other FE cosplayers)!

Ha!  Yay, more love for Titania.

Although the Glomp Von Death sounds...costume damaging.

Well... I guess I could tone it down to just a hug.  But only for you! XD

She was the purple-haired mage, yes. ^^

Yeah i'm gonna be Ilyana from POR cause I think this one looks cuter than her RD outfit.
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Kandybar on May 06, 2008, 06:46:51 AM
I agree - her outfit in RD is all brown and meh.  PoR's is much better.  I'm doing Titania's RD outfit - it's not really that much different than her PoR except for the color of the armor and some trimming.

 :'( *cries* oh no! I got in trouble for my bad grades. I mean they are really BAD! Now my mother won't help me w/ this costume until they are a C or better. whaa... Iwish she told me sooner about this now I don't know If I'll make it as Ilyana! *screams* Any tips on raising grades in about a week and getting this costume done? *spazzes and cries*
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Kandybar on May 07, 2008, 07:23:45 AM
Oh no!  :-[  Maybe you can divide up your time each night and spend a few hours studying/doing homework and a few hours working on the costume (and not much else)?
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Shadow Valkyrie on May 07, 2008, 10:46:57 AM
I have SOME hope that this costume will be at least 80% done! Most of my teachers give extra credit work, sadly my english teacher does not. (damn it!) I hope my mother understands and helps my w/ Ilyana ^^ :)

I'm sorry, m'dear.

I've always loved Fire Emblem and I do look forward to seeing all your guys' costumes! ^_^ I hope to make it to that gathering so I can take many pictures. x3
Title: Re: Fire Emblem?
Post by: Shadow Valkyrie on May 07, 2008, 11:15:16 AM
If I do make it, I may be Sakura and I will look for you guys and take pics. I have faith that I will get my costume done though.

I hope so!  Fire Emblem needs all the love it can get.

I wanted to mention that I've got a shoot scheduled as well for general R.P.G. characters, so if any of you guys would like to participate in it as well, it'd be great to see you there.

I posted a topic about it that can be viewed here:

http://forums.fanime.com/index.php/topic,8743.0.html

PS: Mind the amount of bumps and costume update messages. I want a lot of people to know about this shoot and it's hard to do that when it keeps falling a few pages behind before people get a chance to notice it.
