Quick Update I Guess
1 min read
Not really sure if anyone even reads my journals but anyway...
I might post another picture or 2 of Wanda Maximoff but FB is better for seeing my stuff. [link]
I've got a couple things in the works. I'm currently 99% done with a vest for Lotte from Little Witch Academia. I have to re-tackle the skirt after the 1st mock up didn't look all that great. Gotta work up the courage to work on that wig too. I'll be in a group at Anime Central with a Sucy, Akko and Diana.
I'm also potentially going to be Mash Kyrielight from Fate/Grand Order. I really like her and her Chaldea uniform looks easy enough and comfortable enough. I bought a wig and glasses but they haven't even shipped yet. I've got some patterns that should work out pretty well too.
I also did a closet cosplay of Velma from Scooby Doo but I really don't have any dA worthy pictures of it. Otherwise that's about it. I've been really lazy with cosplay lately.

So much for journal entries
1 min read
Well....it's been well over a year since I posted a journal. I guess I don't really have much to say here any more. If you're really curious, pretty much everything is on my Facebook these days [link]
I'm pretty much ready for C2E2 this year. Only going 1 day as Nora Valkyrie from RWBY volume 4. She'll also return at ACen along with some other stuff that I still, a month before that con, have not 100% nailed down. I'm a little worried about the weather. It was like 80 today which is pretty warm for Chicago Spring. So come May, there may be some cosplay I just don't wanna wear. We'll see.
Like I said, check Facebook for more frequent updates. This page is practically dead.

I could stand to update more.

I forget sometimes that dA has journals. Anyway...
I'll probably post a couple other photos from my Sailor Moon/SNK shoot. I really do post more on Facebook though. It's a much better place to follow me. www.facebook.com/Azure-Rose-Co…
In other news, kinda sorta starting on ACen stuff. And finishing up Scarlet Witch (Age of Ultron) for C2E2. About all that's left on her is refinishing the sleeves, finding boots and possibly embellishing the arm warmers. I've started Schala from Chrono Trigger for ACen. By started I mean I made her pendant. It was the easiest part. I've got a pattern and I'm currently waiting for some fabric samples to arrive. Hopefully one of them will work. Gwen Darcy from RWBY season 3 is in the planning stages. I've already made a top somewhat like hers before. But I also have to replace the sleeve on my jacket for Neo. I also intend on buying a new wig for her since finally some pre-fab Neo wigs are coming out. Hopefully there will be 2 RWBY shoots at ACen so I can bring both.
Last project for ACen is another Sailor Moon group, not the actual fukus though. It's another one of my crazy AU outfits since I don't do spandex. I'll be Sailor Saturn this time around.

ACen damage control
3 min read
Well, I feel alive enough to talk about Anime Central 2015. It was...weird. I can't totally say it was bad but I can't say it was great either. I was certainly happy to run into 
for photos several times but overall, I didn't run into that many of my friends. I actually talked to several people I didn't know. So great that I was a little more outgoing but ACen is normally a chance for me to catch up with people I haven't seen in a while because of the cosplay rush.
I miss the creepy murals in the skybridge. Now that part of the bridge is carpeted and modernized. Not a bad thing but I still strangely miss the strange mural in that hall. I miss the guy screaming in the dealer hall advertising Red Hot Yaoi. Never bought a damn thing from that table but there as something familiar and traditional about hearing his voice loud and clear through the entire dealer hall. The man had impressive vocal projection. The Hen Da Ne booth will never be the same.
ACen needs to do a lot about the smokers at the con. The e-cigs and vapers indoors was nuts. There almost was no fresh air anywhere. I'm not particularly sensitive to it since my mom's been a smoker since forever but it's still annoying. And when you go outside, there are droves of people smoking and not giving a damn about who they blow smoke at. I've heard numerous people say smokers blatantly turned and blew smoke in their faces. Who does that? You don't do that to a complete stranger, or anyone. You don't know what sensitivities/allergies someone has. Don't take other people down with your nasty habit.
The smokers were almost as inconsiderate as the homestucks. At the risk of opening a can of worms, I don't like the general homestuck fandom. Too much cosplay and property damage. I know a couple who are good about sealing body paint or using morphsuits for their arms and legs. But that's a couple out of the couple hundred that show up to ACen every year. People work hard on cosplay. I spent every weekend for a couple of months working on my Neo jacket. I did my photoshoot and some asshole homestuck shoved past me and got gray all over the sleeve of my jacket. She was gone before I could say anything to her. It was ungodly humid during the con. If you have to wear body paint, have the decency and the connected braincells to seal it. If you don't know how to seal it, Google it goddammit.
Anyway...I didn't buy much which isn't a bad thing. It was just that nothing grabbed me. I was pretty beat by the time I got home. I'll update pictures as I find them.
and I did our final Naruto cosplays this ACen, SnK/Naruto crossover. If you see a picture of Tsunade in an SnK styke green jacket, green skirt, etc, with SnK Kyuubi, that would be us. Tsunade is retired from here on out unless I need a quick, cool cosplay or someone really wants a photoshoot with it. I don't really see those scenarios happening. I do have to figure out what I'm gonna do for SoyCon now that my easiest outfit is retired.

Quickie Update
1 min read
With just under 2 weeks left before ACen, I just have a little bit more wig work to do for Zelda and Neo and a little bit more on a secret cosplay and I'll be ready.
If you want to see my cosplay progress, check me out on FB. www.facebook.com/pages/Azure-R…
I'll be taking 4 costumes to ACen this year: Skyloft Zelda, Ryuko Matoi, Neo and the little secret project I've been working on with
I'll try to get some photos up soon after ACen but it all depends on what kind of photoshoots I end up doing.
