Happy Doomsday, everyone! ^^

 

 


Absence and new FanFic

01.10.2012, Unknown Time (:P)

 

You might wonder what I've done during the last - huh? 2 months?

Well, it's been the 2nd half of holidays.

 

So natrually, 2 years later, I started writing on my 2nd FanFiction. Not Legend of Zelda again but Harry Potter. It is called "Until I Die", has 18 chapters so far(I wrote the last 2 already and now I'm at chapter 16 - so yes, 18 chapters.) and THIS time I wrote in English first!!! (other than with "Three Days - and a bit more..." which I write in my mother tongue German and translate into English)
The German Translation will follow when it is published, but ONLY if more than 20 people ask for it and can swear truthfully that they will read it. I'm just not too fond of a German version this time. It works better in English.(you know, British people, British places - everything Britain ;P)
Technical Data: Like with "Three Days" of which I wrote 15 chapter in 2 weeks, I wrote those 14 chapters in a little more than 3 weeks. After all I've been working at my aunt's, where I could only write on paper when I had time and then type off those 20 pages of small written text. The first 20 A4 pages(computer) have been written in 3 days. XD
Content/Story Line: Nope, I won't tell. :|

But I won't neglect "Three Days". Don't worry. It just feels better at the moment to write rather than translate. But "Until I Die" won't be as long as "Three Days" anyway and since I don't mean to translate it, I will just have to correct the stuff and can throw out a chapter per week then or so. We'll see how much time I'll have. After all I start at University today.*

And yes, I am a little absent from the internet. Basically I just use it for research if I'm too lazy to flip pages. I have more than 300 messages in my inbox on DeviantArt and I really DON'T WANT! So please be patient. It might take a month or so until I'm through.

*Yes, you read right. Finally another - um - chapter (XD) in my life. Can't wait to see what kind of madness this will be.

As for jewellery stuff and cosplaying: I finished a commission two weeks ago(reproduction of "Spongy") and will continue working on cosplay related things as soon as ideas for that damn fic stop flooding my brain.  >.<

Ilionej over.


Delays

I'm sorry, everyone. Somehow the freaky weather(hot, rain, hot, rain, hot...) pulls me down and days pass by like they're nothing. >.< I'm in the mood for doing everything at the same time but end up sitting in front of my laptop sorting stuff or playing on the Wii. -.- I'm actually pissed about myself already.

 

But at least I straightened a very curled wig(the one I used for the presentation of "MIST!") so I can use it for a "quick" Asuka Langley cosplay(I'm far away from her "pencil-shaped" body - to quote Lulubird - but the school uniform can blend it over well. And in case I don't get it done, I can take some clothes I have and make a mix of that with a casual look *shrug*). I think on Saturday I will straighten the second wig I need to straighten. I just need to be careful with my timetable in this case. I don't have a wig head or big tripod yet, so I have to hang it inside the shower and that sucks. But maybe I manage to fix it somewhere on the balcony for drying. O.o

 

Tomorrow I'll get out the sewing machine. I promise!!! ^^;
And I found purple chu jelly. XD

Oh - and the colours for the resin arrived a week ago. >.> Also bought blue metallic spray paint for the Hylian Shield and a huge bomb of chrome spray paint. I really need to get that going. And I need space. A LOTTTTTTTTT of space. >_< HELP! A^A


Bulk purchase

11.07.2012, 20:00

 

Yesterday I dared to: I was buccaneering! (of course I paid for everything. XD All in all about 100€ :-/)

  • mold gel: to be mixed with water, ph-neutral, quick-setting(8-10min); for ears, probably my nose if I should dare to work on a certain extra costume, and maybe I'll also use it for other sculpting.

 

  • plaster: to be mixed with water, gesso-like gipsähnlich but way more resistant to breaking and finer, for filling mold gel forms and maybe for sculpting little pieces since it can be filed. I'll see.

 

  • Fimo-air LIGHT: today's top-clay around here. XD I just had to grab it, mostly since I don't plan using it too generously(it only cost 3€ more anyway ^^). Even being damp it has like a third of the weight normal polymer clay has, is soft and easy to be shaped, is air-drying within about 24h and is like normal clay in any other way, only better. Available in white, yellow, green, blue, red and black. I took the white one as it a) is neutral and doesn't irritate the eyes too much, b) best eligible if I actually have to paint it and c) because they only had the white one...=P

 

  • cast resin and appropriate polishing cream(just in case): for missing gems and - Rupees!!!! XD I had to order the transparent colours. Takes about 2 weeks for arrival

 

  • showerproof spray paint: better for props like weapons than the first spray paint I bought

 

  • controlable textile paint: for Zelda's(SkwS) Sailcloth. Maybe also for the ornaments on Kafei's and Cremia's shirt and blouse.

 

  • P.S.: I bought the sewing cotton earlier. Only forgot to upload the photo. Very cheap but good quality.

 


Timetable - or so

04.07.2012, 15:15

 

Hey! Listen! *shut it, Navi!!! >:|*

No - really - what I wanted to say is that I finally found more time to dedicate to my costumes. Though I won't be able to be in the school's workshop that often anymore due to - guess - I'M DONE WITH SCHOOL!!!! - um - where was I? O___o Oh yes! Cosplaying! Well, I found more time now, which means, I'm crazy enough to actively start on 2 more costumes. (you'll find them among the Legend of Zelda costumes)

 

I'm currently doing templates for armour and small metal props. Want to get that all done in the following 2 weeks and start on templates for all small things fabric. Hopefully I'll also find the time to continue Link's gloves and Cremia's cloth. >.> (though now it looks like the stuff will take the whole holidays)

I'll be going looking for a propper wig head next week or the week after, depending on free time(I still have a commission to finish, that's why I can't use the workshop for cosplay related stuff during the remaining time. But I will finish Vaati's belt for sure. So guess which costume might be finished earliest – or not, who knows? ).

 

Then I'll finally try to get a bank account so I can order the wigs I REALLY need. After – or before – that comes ears stuff. Well, only the resin bases, since the ears will be something like the last things to do, next to buying lenses. Yes, I'll be buying resin....maybe my chance to get the missing gems for the Zelda costumes done. =P
