Cosplay Progress ╮(─▽─)╭ + RANT

So I've been spending a lot of time procrastinating over cosplays that I've stared and NOT finished....right now I have 5 unfinished but started cosplays so I'm really trying to motivate myself to be better at it and take less time to make them but as most people should know cosplay is NOT easy!
This month there is an event and then there are 2 more next month meaning I would need to have at least 3 cosplays done ;___; ~I'm not sure what will happen but I know for sure that I will be going to ANIMEYHEM which in on 28th of September (that will be the big one for Katherine and I) 

Here are some progress pics
 5+ cosplays worth of material ;___; 

 High school of the Dead blouse wip...
 85% finished 
Lily Saber chest armour WIP (after 2 coats of spray paint gold/silver)

I also made a cosplay for begginers video! 
It's basically about planning a cosplay no matter how you are going to get it together.

OH OH OH while on the topic of cosplay a debate came up about cosplay vs porn...lol it sounds stupid but any otaku would know that Cosplay does not equal porn despite it having sexual elements but that is just the fact that characters can be very sexy and wear revealing outfits so if a cosplayer wants to cosplay as them they have to expose some skin...wearing something like a bikini for cosplay is considered too sexual (like porn) wft people wear bikinis and underwear in fashion magazines and on TV but no-ones screaming about that....Cosplay is just another expression of creation and displaying talents whether that's modelling, photography, sewing, makeup, prop making etc. Everyone and anyone can cosplay in my mind! So what if a pretty girl wants to dress up as a sexy anime character or anyone else for that matter! Cosplay isn't explicit and there are bounds to what cosplayers will wear depending on the clothing rules in a certain country (for example I live in the middle east wear at conventions showing too much skin ie wearing a bikini would be inappropriate so cosplayer either stay away from those cosplays or alter them to make them more appropriate.) Overall I'm a little disappointed in the international otaku community for they close minded-ness and disrespect to cosplayers as well as the general public for judging before understanding. No matter how simple or easy a cosplay is effort has gone into doing it so people should respect that and if they don't keep it to themselves rather than insulting someone to their face (it's fine to have an opinion on something/someone but keep it to yourself unless the person asks!) Okay I've said my piece ;___; wow that was a long rant *sigh*
 Here's one of the images that caused a lot of trouble (This cosplayer was banned I think) I feel that's unfair unless the convention organisers specified the dress code for that event and what cosplays were not appropriate! Plus everyone knows that almost all otakus are perverts...I'm a pervert too in my own way (of yaoi) but it's not really fair to just blame the cosplayer as well as the photographers....

(images don't belong to me) 
Like I said ANYONE CAN COSPLAY ANY CHARACTER OR THING THEY WANT`!!! COSPLAY IS FOR FUN!

Games and Cosplay event! ヽ(;▽;)ノ

Hi everyone, I know it's been I while again and I know I said I would post more but my life got a little busy believe it or not and I didn't really have time to make posts so today I decided I would catch up on everything that's happened!

First of all my birthday was awesome! This year I got everything I wanted and more! BUT FIRST my long awaited Gamers meet event post...it was an interesting one is all I have to say but I still had a good time seeing all the cosplayers again! So here are the snaps from that (excuse the low quality but they were all taken on my iphone lol) 

I went as Chun Li but the pink maid version and I altered the dress so it wasn't as...revealing lol


 my make up ;___; I know it sucks

Anyway I went to the event by bus with two friends who like gaming...
Before the going to the event which was in a mall we went to get lunch...and by lunch I mean a deliciously sweet dessert...


IN THE EVENT ROOM -> The Cosplayers <3 <3 


 Sanji and Chii XDD omg lol




 The winner of the Cosplay contest Saad as Prince or Persia OMG He's such a great cosplayer and so nice too <3 


Finally one with me in it....lol ignore my stupid hamster face...idk what was wrong with me but I couldn't pose to save my life which is a good thing not too many pictures were taken at that event!






So those are the less then satisfactory pictures I took for that event...there was another event called ONGAKU SHOWDOWN with a pokemon cosplay event but that was on my birthday so I didn't go!

Hopefully my coverage of the next event is...better lol

 I only did head shots because I didn't have the rest of the outfit together ie no shoes or more accessories or dress/skirt so i just wore a black top and used ribbon + a hair clip for chocker necklace!

Lol sorry for the messy background and stupid faces but I was just messing around because I'm sick of doing nothing but studying/sleeping/eating....

Cosplay Characters list (un-official) ψ(`∇´)ψ

Hi everyone, I know I said I wouldn't update in a few months but I decided to take a break from studying and make a post about future cosplays that I want to do as well as some randoms which I may or may not ever do. My previous list has been scrapped! ( most of the characters are still on it though)

So far I've only done 1  real cosplay...My Taokaka from Blazblue 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。



ANYWAYYY ON TO THE FUTUREE COSPLAYYYYS....
Btw when I was looking at these characters I was really thinking about their character design and not much else, so some of them I don't actually know very well. Sometimes I chose them for different elements (personality or outfit), also I know some of them have lighter skin tone but that's not something that extremely important to me and I will still do my best to recreate the character!

In No Particular Order....
