    The propose of this thread (for those who don?t remember) is to discuss possible costume projects. I know, I really should have resurrected this thread before Halloween but as far as I am concerned any time is a good time for costuming. Many costumes are really simple and fun to make. And there are ample opportunity to ware them, conventions, star wars functions, movie premiers, or even just lounging in your own home ;) .
    I can help with techniques. I also know some places to get materials. Brandon ( anikin_sky walker_x) has many connections in costuming as well. So even if you are inexperienced, we can all help each other out.

    The project I am currently considering is a cinematic version of link from the Zelda.

    Those sounds awesome Courtney, I cannot wait to see you in the Rogue outfit!

    Saving up money to do the purple pirate dress Elizabeth wears in POTC....like all the other 5 million girls, lol.

    Also looking to the future to do a Jaina Solo X-Wing outfit. Quite looking forward to getting that done, but I probably wont get to it for another year or so *pout*

    Yar... I actaully have something to say.

    First off, all this jibba jabber has reminded me of something.

    BAM:
    http://planetgamecube.com/news.cfm?action=item&id=4881

    I'm so going to do it.



    Second, Justin... be weary of your Zelda Costume endeavor. It has a long history of ugliness and repulsiveness you'll need to overcome as seen here:

    http://hyrulekingdom.zeldatemple.com/main.php?hyrule=lookalikes


    The worst offenders have got to be these dudes:

    http://hyrulekingdom.zeldatemple.com/zelda7.jpg

    Though I do like how they pay homage to the widely forgotten Zelda Game, The Legend of Zelda: I'm Getting Fat and Turning into a Donkey Type Jack Rabbit, and Link is Awkening as a Girl/Donkey/Jack Rabbit: The Hyrule Fantasy X


    And some one has just gotta tell this dude that Zelda is suppose to be a girl:

    What?


    No need to acknoledge my presence. I'll see my self out.

    Thanks Joe, I was worried a good link had already been done

    Most of these I have heard about but keep posting with up-dates.

    Bobba fett is a common aspiration for star wars costumers. The reason they tend to be crappy is it?s a difficult costume to do well. It?s still a noble endeavor, but just know there are a lot of then out there. I personally like to do things that haven?t been done (at least not well) even my Jedi is an original design. Keep us posted.

    P.S. I just ordered an ocarina from e-bay. I got it for like $15, it?s cool.

    GOD, Joe that was all very traumatizing.

    Yes last costume I wore to the SD Comic-Con
    [image=http://images4.fotki.com/v49/photos/1/129980/517760/Christy015-vi.jpg]

    Last costume at the Las Vagus Comic-Con (my first of many Johnny Depp coustumes)
    [image=http://images4.fotki.com/v44/photos/1/129980/487475/DSCF0003vi-vi.jpg]
    I almost won 2,000 dollars with that one, but got beat by THE best Yoda coustume I have ever seen. (the guy deserved it (wish I got a pic of it))

    I know that everyone already know this but I want to post it anyway.
    [image=http://images4.fotki.com/v46/photos/1/129980/532471/SPARROW_002-vi.jpg]
    Do out in May, in time for the renaissance fair.
    After investing all the time money and dark eye makeup that I am planning on doing for this one, it will be my best and most ?Treasured? costume. Arrrrrr

    Then [image=http://images4.fotki.com/v47/photos/1/129980/532471/Bodyshot-vi.jpg]
    Do out in July for Comic-Con SD, or default LV Comic-Con in October
    2, One normel, But then a different version then what you would not expect. Think Elizabeth Scissorhands (and no I am not wearing that version!)
    O and as far as the Pirate costume is concerned my little brother Max already has me beat, the little scallywag!

    Welp, Justen. May I direct you to the beginning of the first post I made in this thread ... and in a while:


    "First off, all this jibba jabber has reminded me of something.

    "BAM:
    http://planetgamecube.com/news.cfm?action=item&id=4881

    "I'm so going to do it."



    Soap, it was there, and I figured that if anyone wanted to come they would ask.

    Funny thing, I almost didn't go because it's so freaking expensive to ride the train, and I really didn't want to drive there. Fortunately, Chris and my mom really seem to want to go, so I mustered up the streangth (which I think I'll call strongth from now on) to endure the drive.


    Oh, yeah. I did ask people to come with me. I put it in my blog. You can check it out. I may have made fun of some of you in it... I don't remember, but it seems like something I could've possibly done. And if I did, whatever.

    Here's the link:

    Yo Anakin X I was Jack Sparrow for Halloween. My costume was pretty good. People loved it. I got pics of it if you want to check it out sometime!

    Also I am trying to get a Jango Fett costume going so I am trying to learn the ways of Sintra Molding and stuff. If anyone around here has done it please let me know some tips.
