So....... update

 Okay, so I have decided to put most of my cosplay plans on hold for now because of the lack of conventions and because I want to cut back on the number of cosplays I have and am working on. I am determined to have KH3 Kairi finished soon and once that is done I will probably take a break from working on cosplays.

I do want to go back to Utatane Piko and finally get him finished, so I might do that after Kairi is done. I also want to work on Ignis(FFXV) as well since I will be part of an FFXV group for Fanime next year.

Of course, I will be working on other versions of Kairi. I have realized that I have most of what I need to make Dead Fantasy Kairi, which I have had planned for a while:

I even have pretty much all of the materials I need to make the Oblivion Keyblade. I am not going to be making both keyblades unfortunately and will only have the one when I cosplay this, but that's really ok with me. And if I want to wield dual keyblades, I can always have Destiny's Embrace with me as well. The only thing I really need to get still is a new KH2 Kairi wig.

So I am excited to start this. I will probably start working on it soon, but not til I finish KH3 Kairi. What I'm thinking is I might start with the keyblade and go from there.

But anyway, I might be optimistic in saying this, but if the Cherry Blossom Festival gets to happen next year, I might wear this version of Kairi for the parade. I was going to this year since ten years ago for the parade I did KH2 Kairi, but the event was sadly cancelled. Of course, I understand why and everything, but was still bummed nonetheless.

Either way, I will have this done for at least Fanime, or maybe even AX. We shall see.

Kairi Update and Other Things

 Alright, so I have made great progress on the keyblade over the past week and a half or so, and I finally have the top pieces attached to the keyblade!

So the keyblade is very close to being done. I just need to make the bottom piece(s) and then it'll be complete! I'm really satisfied with how it looks so far. I've now started making the bottom pieces and should have them done soon.

Anyway, I went to Joanns yesterday to get a few things, and I browsed the remnants section and found some white fabric, I decided to grab it cause why not, and I might end up using it for White Mage Refia. Now, it's only a half a yard of fabric, so it'll work for only a portion of the cosplay, but I don't mind as I am not going to be starting it anytime soon. But it is nice to know I have some fabric for it, and if I do decide to use it for that, I can easily go and grab more of that fabric, hopefully.

Anyway, I'll have pictures of the finished keyblade soon!

Kairi Stuff

 Hey everyone! So while I will be doing a few things for Refia, I am going to keep White Mage Refia on hold for now. But my plans for that are still set, just I feel it would be too much to try and make anything for that right now or anytime soon.

For now I am going to keep my focus on getting KH3 Kairi done and maybe work on getting her KH1 outfit done. That one has been in planning for so long that I feel like finally getting that done!

I mean, I have the wig finally, and the fabric to make the skirt, and the black undershirt. I think I might also have what I need to make the armbands too. Oh, I also have her choker as well. And the pendant for her necklace(which I need to still make....)

What I still need to do are her white tank top and the purple belt. And to also paint the shoes. Or rather, get the old paint off of them(because what I originally was using them for didn't quite work out.... ^^; ) I have what I need for the bracelets I think.

So yeah, maybe once I finish my keyblade I'll start work on KH1 Kairi and also go back to finishing KH3 Kairi's outfit.

WM Refia Rune Staff Planning

 Alright, so I have been digging around and looking at pictures of the Rune Staff and I noticed how it appears in multiple Final Fantasys, and in each of them it looks different. However, for III specifically it is hard to get a good reference of it. So after looking at different pictures from different games and whatnot, I have decided to make this one in particular:

This is a really good reference and I can see all the details on it. I also prefer this design personally. I think it will go really well with White Mage Refia. Now I just need to plan out how I'm going to make it, mainly the top part and bottom part.

On a different note, I hope to be starting work on Freelancer Refia again soon. I will be doing that after I finish a couple pieces on Kairi's keyblade.

White Mage Refia from Final Fantasy III Plans

 Alright, so I have decided that I will start making White Mage Refia. Now, Refia is a character I have wanted to cosplay for a long time, and I did Thief Refia some years ago, but it wasn't that great. I have since made some upgrades to the costume, but I don't know if I will do that version anytime soon.

However, I have wanted to make other versions of her. I have started on her Freelancer outfit, and I hope to finally finish that. But I do also want to do her other job classes. I probably will not get to doing all of them, cause there are some I will not do, but I will be doing some of them.

 

I first want to start with White Mage. I feel like taking on the challenge of making that one, and I will definitely take my time with it so that it comes out looking great. Plus with no conventions happening for a while, I will have time to work on it.

For the staff I'm going to make the Rune Staff. I already have the dowel rod part and I'll mainly have to make the top part. I am not exactly sure how I will be doing that yet, but I will update you when I decide that. I will probably get the staff done before I work on the other parts of the cosplay.

Anyway, I will have progress pictures here when I get things done on this. Probably after I make more progress on KH3 Kairi.

Current Progress of things

 So I am taking a break from working on Serah for now and instead working on other things.

 

I want to finish KH3 Kairi by the end of the year so I am working on that right now. I am currently fixing the keyblade and re-doing some parts of it.

 

So far it is looking great.

Current Plans

 So about my post from previous, yeah I'm putting those plans on hold and right now am working on other cosplay plans.

I have been meaning to cosplay Serah from Final Fantasy XIII for a long time, and am finally getting around to that! I will have progress pictures soon of that!

I am mainly gonna be using this blog for cosplay progress photos and stuff. Basically a log for all of my progress!

So look forward to that!

First post!

Hello! I made this blog a while ago but forgot to actually post on it! So I figured I would now!

This is gonna be a cosplay blog mainly! Where I blog about my progress in cosplay making as well as gatherings, meetups, and conventions!

To kick off my blog, I'll summarize what I'm currently working on!

So first off I'm currently working on Haku Yowane from Vocaloid! She's been in my plans for a while, and since I recently bought a wig that would work for her, I finally decided to start working on her!

I'm also in the process of taking my Len Kagamine cosplay and turning it into Rin! I only cosplayed Len once a few years ago, and originally was going to sell the cosplay since I had no plans on being him anymore, but then I figured cosplaying Rin might be fun, so that's happening!

I also hope to start fixing up my Yoko Usami cosplay! I haven't worn her in a while, and I miss cosplaying as her! I've been kinda taking a break from Tokusatsu things for a while, and lately I've been kinda off and on with it, but I really do miss it! Hoping to get back into the Toku cosplay scene soon! <3

That's it for now! :D
