So, we finally reached the end of the cosplay season. My next convention will be in March 2010 what means winter break and a lot of time for future projects and photoshoots. I will finally do some of my longtime wishes I never found the time to do or was unsure about. One of them being Edward Elric and it will rock >.< I always loved FMA, I always loved Ed, but the Automail was too difficult for me to build. But now I am sure, I can do it and it will look good! Another one of them being Zidane from Final Fantasy IX and hopefully Kuja Trance version. Final Fantasy IX is my favorite part of the series, so I just HAVE to do it ^-^ As much as I love IX, I also love VII and VIII. I would love to do Artemisia from VIII/Dissidia what will be a BIG project as well. And finally, I am going to do Cloud. It will be the Crisis Core version since I like the colors and I look quite young when cosplaying boys.

There will be more Roxas, Sora, Atemu, Yami and Vocaloid, not Len but Luka, maybe some Shaolan and Naruto costumes as well and finally I'll do some Visual Kei again. So, stay tuned for next cosplay season~
I am looking forward to it~

Oh and since I didn't do any Kiribans for the last big numbers, I decided to feature the first 10 of you who are going to reply to this journal and ask to be featured ^^
Thanks for your support, comments and favs. Thank you~

*princess-hime tagged me.. and she is right XD Photographers should get more love.

-> Give a thanks to 5 of your own favourite photographers and then tag a few Cosplayers
-> Link photos which were taken by the photographer from your gallery or the gallery of the photographer
-> The photographer can write a little journal about the Cosplayer if he/she wants and a own tag XD

1.
I really love your photos. The colors, the angles, everything. You're not only relying on the cosplayer, but also try to add your own ideas/thoughts, what is very helpful. But what is even more important, I really like you as a person~ I hope to be allowed to stay at yours again for LBM.

2.
The best thing about you, except from being a very nice person, are your ideas. You always try your best to understand the character and that's what makes your photos special. Stay as you are~

You're more of a friend for me than a photographer, but even though you still are a photographer. A really good one. Some time ago, your photos were very bright, the colors very extreme, but you changed that by now. Even though the colors aren't that eye-catching anymore, your photos still are. Great work

Lao, I love you. I am sure you already know that. You're amazing, not only in taking photos but as a person. I love working with you, it's so much fun and the photos are always so beautiful <3 Can't wait to see you again.

You improved SO much, wow. When I first saw your photos they were nice, but now they are really awesome. As time passes you will improve even more and I am really looking forward to those photos And please, never change. You are such a kind person and I really enjoy the time we share~

Also, here's another feature meme for you. If you already had been featured in my last journal, please don't ask for another feature to keep it fair ^^
Rules:
1.: Post these rules. The first 10 People who comment and wish for it will get 3-5 [or more] works featured in this journal, of course you can feature even more people!

2.: Write what you like about their work and maybe why you choosed the deviations you featured. This can be as short or long as you want!

3.: The ones who got featured should do this Featuring Meme aswell, but nobody'll force them! OR tag just some random persons :"D

taken from *m-a-g-i

>>> Be one of the first 18 people commenting on this journal entry, and I will add you to the Featured List!

>>> For each of the 18 first people answering this journal I will put his/her avatar and the three deviations I like most from his/her gallery on the list.

>>> If you answer, you'll have to do the same in your journal, putting me on the first place, completing the list with 17 other people. The idea of this is not to get a free feature, it is to spread art around for everyone.

Well, since I don't have a paid accout, there will be no thumbs, sadly...

Many of you asked if I do commissions and I told you to ask again in September. Well it is September and guess what.. there will be commissions!
~Mi-panda and I will open a little shop where we will offer commission. I will do wigs (and maybe weapons) while she will be doing all the sewing stuff (because she can!). I am happy to be allowed to join her because it means I don't have to think about what I am allowed to do and what not ^^'' (which had been the biggest problem in the past.. laws...)

~+~ what is offered? ~+~
I do custom colors as well as cutting and styling. I never tried to change the frontline of the wig, so for now this won't be offered.

~+~ how much is it? ~+~
It depends on the wig and what you want me to do. custom colors and just cutting will be kinda cheap because there's no need for a wig head and shipping cost will be cheaper as well. Styling will be a little more expensive. There will be a wig head included, styling products and a LOT of work. Wigs like Axel will be even more expensive because I will have to use 2 wigs ^^'' Prices are fix and I won't do it for less.

~+~ how does it work ~+~
You will have to contact me via email or pn/note and tell me what wig you would like to get. I will have a look at some pictures and tell you how much it would be. 50% will be paid in advance and the rest when your wig is done.
Remember: it might happen that I won't accept a commission
also remember: I am German.. shipping might be expensive!

I only accept paypal! (und Überweisung in Deutschland)

examples:
Roxas (styling): [link] [link]
Zexion (custom color + styling): [link]
Sora (styling): [link]
Paine (styling): [link]

If you want any costume, just contact ~Mi-panda. There might be complete packages available, too. Just ask for it if you are interested.
As soon as our page is up and running I will let you know ^-^

So Connichi is over... it was VERY stressful until the very end... wow so much work had been put into this one group an really.. everyone looked SO awesome. I love everyone. Sadly we were missing Axel, Xigbar and Lexeaus, but we rocked anyway. I am waiting for the photos to show you my lovely people. Since we didn't have much time we are talking about a special meet up to take some awesome photos. All 13 of us with weapons done and hopefully great wigs ^-^
Thanks to everyone who wrote something the last time. It helped a lot and I felt much better. It was you who helped me through all my work and made it possible for me to have this awesome group.
