Hello LordDraco, I just wanted to take some time out of my day to confess that two years ago, I've done and said some dirty crap to the SoulCalibur community and I was acting completely out of line as OhgunResurrected. But now, I'm willing to squash any beefs I've created, apologize for what I've done online and start over from a clean slate. I'm trying to start a business, and I don't want to let what I've done to you and the rest of the community in my "douchebag past" haunt me for the rest of my life. Could you ever forgive me for what I've said and done?

Likewise! I used to do RPG maker sprites myself but the version you do got a bit too detailed for me, so props for doing them! Also good to see some oldschool Breath of Fire love!

I remember talking to you at A-kon 23!! It was my first con EVER and my first ever experience of a shadowcast!!!! ^_________^ I still have the "zydrate" I bought from you!!! < But it's lost it's awesome glow......
Still, I loved your performance that night and I will NEVER forget it!! Glad you got your coat back that night!!!
Oh hey!! Will you ever be in another shadowcast or do a one of TDC? That would be awesome!!!!

Awesome! Thanks for being there, I'm glad you had a good con and enjoyed the show
Still currently active with shadowcasting for the time being (www.amberdoesdallas.com). We are mostly doing Rocky Horror, but Repo still happens regularly.
I want to do some TDC stuff, but it's a mostly universal consensus that the movie doesn't lend itself well to shadowcasting.. I'd attribute that to its music video style shooting I do want to do some TDC pre-shows though sometime. Mostly Trust Me, because Scorpion is pretty much my normal clothes, and I REALLY REALLY want to make a Wheel of Death

You're welcome! I know a lot of the comments were about the wig, but yeah, it really surprised me, since it's the hardest part of his costume. I've never seen anyone do it like you did, and it really inspired me for the future since my gf and I are planning Hiei/Kurama for future cosplays (not yaoi), and I think the way you did the wig is the way to go.
You should totally get more into cosplay, I think you'd have a nack for it, and it looks like you would be really unique (again, never seen a wig styled that way before)!

Lol yeah, a lot of the comments were about the wig, but that's okay because I'm super proud of that wig and am glad that people appreciate it ! And it was defiantly the hardest part of his cosplay, lol.
I'm really glad that it inspired you though! Are you planning on making your own wigs or are you going to buy them? Who are you planning on being by the way Kurama or Hiei? Just curious ^^, I always love to see YYH cosplayers out there ^^.
I've been trying to get into cosplay a bit more, though it hasn't really worked out for me, lol. Just a snag I'm sure.

My girlfriend is really talented with wig construction, she has been stewing over how to do the perfect Kurama wig for a while now. Hiei is my favorite, but our height difference works better for me to be Kurama, which is her favorite. If we ever get around to it, that's how it'll be, but I very well may do Hiei a few times just so I can have the dragon tattoo (it was a dream to get a real one for sooo many years). Still have his final season shirt/pants from a halloween costume that I did in high school
Plus, I would love for us to do Hiei & Mukuro. Best badass couple ever
I find motivation to start new cosplays to be the hardest part, so I tend to do a character, then keep wearing it forever and try to improve/add something new between each use. If you are finding it hard to do new stuff, maybe just keep improving what you do have until you can't any more. Maybe add a prop, try the dragon tattoo or crazy arm seal, sword, different costume of his, etc. Seeing a prop like this makes me want to do something similar with the dragon: [link] There's plenty of potential hidden within Hiei, even if his changes are very subtle throughout the show. It's a good way to improve on skills without undertaking entirely new costumes ^^

Neat I wish her luck with getting the Kurama wig to look right, it's an interesting one, and I have yet to see one actually look accurate (same with a Hiei wig too actually ).
And thanks, I'm currently working on fixing up my old one for a con in about a week. Lot's of work a head of me That pic of the Ojigi plant though was pretty cool, first time I've seen something like that, that was cool.

Just wondering if you were going to go in one of your Repo cosplays. I would have loved to see them in person. They're fantastic.

You all did awesome. Though Nicole was wondering how you made the helmet. We too are making a Repo cosplay. She is going to do blind mag's Final Opera outfit.

Thanks!
This picture has some info about my helmet, and also a link to my photobucket with high-res photos of it: [link]
And more info on the construction: [link] [link]
Totally go for it! If you guys need any help, I know about most Repo costumes.

Your Repo coat is amazing! Nice work on the lining in particular (I interfaced my front panels with matching pleather so it looks more matching and less utilitarian, sadly at the cost of screen accuracy.)

LordDraco3 In reply to sethbramwell [2010-12-14 01:30:08 +0000 UTC]
Thanks! I'm actually thinking about re-lining from the waist down with black satin to be a little less eye-catching (green on black is sooo obvious) and so it won't get caught on my clothes (cotton rubbing on cotton pulls the lining out of place, kind of annoying)

sethbramwell In reply to LordDraco3 [2010-12-14 07:04:01 +0000 UTC]
Black satin from the waist down would look awesome! Honestly, I get why it's lined with green waterproofing material, I mean obviously the coat is designed for function over form, but still... you'd think all pure black would suit the menacing look Rotti wants much more.
Though to be fair, I doubt most victims see the lining...
(Sheesh, I sound like a project runway judge on Repo.)
