Yo peeps!
As some of us polar bears might
or might not know Kemin mangap
äivä, aka Kemi's manga day, is just around the corner
– and by corner I mean 11th October. Yeah, it's very soon. We don't have to hibernate just yet.
höhö :-DD
Said
event is a small local one for me
–duration 6 hours this year
– and I
attend it mostly to meet friends and have some geeky
remoistening for the oh-so-dry late autumn's
early winter's
lack of anime events. I mean, I'm totally not the type to say 'no' to
some quality time with my trusty pals in a free-entrance event
that *le gasp* isn't even far away! ;)
Whooooouu..
Okay so, mumbo jumbos aside, what will I cosplay there?
*suspense*
...
......
Umm, let's take it from the beginning, shall we?
So, I've fairly recently bought
a wig (from another cosplayer) to use for my soon-to-be-revealed Kemin mangapäivä cosplay.
Gotta love cheap second-hand wigs!
But first, I had to cut it...

Yeah, look at that hair curtain. OTL Too much hair in the front; I don't see shit. My wonderful hair-baby needed to be trimmed down. I took out my scissors on 3rd October and trimmed it into a better shape.

So yeah, I cut and shortened the bangs to look more flattering and also thinned them down slightly. Easy peasy.
I've noticed though that my scissors don't cut as well anymore; maybe should start consider replacing them.. then again, they were dirt cheap so I wasn't expecting quality either.
With the wig fixed I headed for town on 8th October. My mission was to find a toy gun at a second-hand store for cheap and then modify it. I ended up finding one but it's still unfinished
COSSI EI OLE VIELÄKÄÄN VALMIS so I'll just do a post about it afterwards. Hang on, hang on!
What I did do today though was a quick test to get an idea of what my cosplay will look like when worn. Yeah, finally it's time!

Supah editing skillz! selfie |
Some small details are missing on the picture: pointy ears, pink contact lenses and the gun. I just won't have time for a proper preview, so this will have to do for now.
Yeah, so the character I will cosplay at Kemin mangapäivä is an Original Character named Taregard Frir. I won't bore you with a character description now
and I'm too tired for that but I might write one later when I do a photoshoot post. Hopefully.
But there we go for this time, see ya!
The first pic cracked me up so much that I almost fell off my chair. :'D It made my night! Thanks. <3 The last pic is pretty too. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing your OC! See you in Manga day! <3
