[luckyends]

[Zekke]

HA!!! found the perfect Chouji headband, its all custom too. Ah ha!!

[YuffieK]

updated.

All SnJ Gathering people: are you planning on going to the Naruto Gathering as SnJ characters? If so, I think the 1 PM time should work fine. (BTW, BART, have you told BSaphire of the decided time? Just checking ^__^)

If not... then maybe 2 PM is better.

Yeah, I'm just gonna move up the SnJ gathering to 11
('cause we're gonna go get lunch during the gathering) :3

[Samansa-chan]

Hello everyone!!! Man its good to be back.

ok after a not so well done cosplay last year, Im going to hopefully cosplay this year as Chouji. Yea, I found out a while ago that Im pretty much a clone or Dopplerganger of him, so hopefully it'll go better this year. ^_^

Samansa!! hey, long time no chat, sweet SNJ Chouji, this'll be way better than last years cosplay  :)

Hell yeah! Last year was my first so it's not suprising that I was just wandering around being all shy. Hopefully this year i'll get to do more things. WHOO. Hey, Should I bring you another cookie?  :D

:lol:  only if I give you more advice like last time when I told you about ninja shoes... lol this years model should be a lot better than last.

Yep, yep, that's true. I'm going to wear two costumes, one is being comissioned and the other i'm making myself. Hopefully i'll be able to wear one under the other? No, no, I'd die of heat stroke. As for the ninja shoes, I'm going by the advice you gave me last year, except with a staple gun hopefully They'll work better than the ones I tried making already.

[DemonLordZabuza]

So I have sadly say that I will not be cosplaying as Zabuza this year...I apologize...so maybe see you guys next time

lol, Im improving on my design. I need those kind of sandals that have the straps around them then going with my original design, Ninja Sandal 2.0  :lol:

Does anyone know of something I can make chouji-like hair out of?? I dunno if I can grow my hair out long enough in time >_< I have this material in mind I just can think of its name, I need something that can stick up like his, anyone have any suggestions?  Samansa-chan is lucky... she has long hair... :?

And we'll miss you Zabuza  :cry:

My hair isn't that long, It's like two inches. xD Hmm...I'm thinking that maybe you could buy some long faux fur and dye it, either that or buy a wig. (If you're short on cash for buying a wig maybe my dad would be nice enough to chip in?)

^_^ I was thinking of buying a wig, but does the fake hair do what needs to be done? Namely stick up and out with some hair spray and gel or something (never needed to do this before with a wig) Has anyone done it with a wig before? No no no, I cant take your money, its very generous but I wouldnt feel right XD I can take your cookies, but not your money. thank you tho.

[hellangel]

yeah, there's a lot of things you can do with a wig that you can't/shouldn't do with real hair~

(like style with Elmer's glue <-- did this when designing hair/makeup for CATS)

[Sygmus]

I'm going to be Kankuro (his first look, concerning the face paint).  I still have quite a bit of work to do though.  Does anyone know of a tutorial for making the hat?

I'm looking forward to the gathering!

[Zekke]

Anyone know any good wig sites or anything?

[Yukari Kaiba]

hope that helps ^^

[Zekke]

Meh, looks like I'll just have to go with my own hair. It should be long enough by May. All I got to worry about now is where to find an over shirt with no front pocket... hmmm.


I had an Interesting thought it came to me when I was playing a Naruto:CoN2 with a friend. You know how if you pick the same character the pallet swaps for different costumes? Well I had an idea for Alternate Universe Naruto Cosplay. Yea where you dress up as someone and them put thim in a different village. Like if I was gonna be AU Chouji, I could put him in the Sand Village, instead of having a teal over shirt it would be beige/brown with  a Sand Headband and the black sandals like Gaara/Kankuro and some other minor changes. Hmm maybe one day I should be regular chouji and another day Sand Chouji.... hmmm...

[The_Merchant]

Haven't been on here in a while so figured I'd post and thanks for the add to the list ^_^

The version of Sasori I'll be doing I know will proably be a challenge.  The hair (corn rows from the looks of the pic I have) is the biggest, second being the gauntlet (I may go without if I can't get it completed in time), and finally on the last note I'm putting the backpiece I'm making on the backburner and will go with something to produce the illusion of the stuff he carries (that whole expanded look).  I have the coat and sandals but does anyone have any shots of him where I can see his feet or know if he wears the white stirrup pieces around his sandals?  And any other reference pics of him would be greatly appreciated ^_^

I'll keep in touch and I can;t wait to see this year's gathering Woot! XD

[Samansa-chan]

Well, due to the time difference, we'll be arriving at fanime on saturday, most likely. That being, I'll have to cut out the SNJ gathering and just go to the Naruto gathering. I'd be going to both gatherings as the same thing anyway.

[Imari-chan]

I'll be coming as Kurenai. :o My friend got me to go with him to the Naruto gathering. XD

[Yunri-Chan]

Yayy! *glomp*

[jimmycosplay]
