So what have I been up to for the past two and a half weeks? I'm still working on my website, and for a while I was keeping a good balance of steadily working on both that and my cosplay for Otakon everyday, but then one day I made a major breakthrough in my cosplay, and from that point I pretty much completely neglected my website to work on my cosplay, which I finished recently. I'm still working on details and buying little things that I need for it, and I'm kind of depending on a friend to make the wig, but other than that, it's done. I'll take pictures of myself while wearing the costume eventually, but for now, here's a picture of the character I'll be dressed as:
And yes, that is the best reference picture there is of this costume. So I pretty much had to make up the entire back of the costume, as well as the center front panel of the bodice. Which is fine with me; I was glad to be able to add a little bit of my own touch to the costume. My wings will not be nearly that large because I don't want to have too much trouble fitting through doors and on elevators, escalators, and other small spaces, but unfortunately they'll still be big enough to make getting around difficult. My friend is also going to be Eternal Sailor Moon on one of the days, so I can imagine that it's going to be pretty amusing to see us trying to get around the convention together.
My website is still not anywhere near finished, and unfortunately I probably won't be able to completely finish it until later in the summer because some of the art that I want to put on it is saved either on CDs or my other computer at my mom's house, and I'm not planning to make the three-hour drive back there until later this month. I also have some drawings both here and there that still need to be documented, and I imagine that'll take some time as well. In fact, I should probably work on that sometime today, but I probably won't. I need a break. I might make a new layout for my blog sometime before the website is up, though.
