I have some major fears and anxieties that I have to deal with and go to therapy for. One of them is a fear of heights. But I went on a trip with one of my best friends for her eighteenth birthday present to Six Flags, and her favorite ride was the Bizarro, which is massively high and frightening to me. But I managed to handle my fear and anxiety for her that day and go on it with her. So I'm a little proud of being able to do that with her.
Okay, figured it out. I'm really proud of my weeping angel cosplay from earlier this year. It took ages to make and I did get a lot of help on it because in need help with the sewing process, but painting the costume and carving and painting the wings were some of the processes that I think really helped make the cosplay and I put so much effort into it I'm glad it came out semi-decent for the convention (The wig didn't get enough grey paint on it). While it was basically a one-time deal (tons of face paint gone and a broken harness by the end of the weekend), I learned enough to make it ten times better in the future. I also learned that I really want to make more cosplays from scratch.
I'm know I already posted pictures of it in a post a long time ago, here's another.
At this point in the day my gloves had gotten wrinkly.
So that's what I'm proud of.
That is totally worth being proud of! What others cosplays are you thinking of doing? I've debated trying my hand at making some, but all the cons are suuuuuper far away from me :(
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do a Disney Belle cosplay, but her dress looks far too difficult to make at my skill level. So I'm looking at the Dolls from the Doctor Who episode Night Terrors and the Silence, yet a Silence mask would be just about as difficult as Belle's dress.
ReplyDeleteAnd cons are completely worth the road trip just to show off what you made and see other people's.
That costume is so amazing; you should be proud!
ReplyDeleteJust out of curiosity, do you go to cons with people or on your own? I'm considering going to my first con this fall (just here in Halifax, no road-trips) but I don't really know anyone else who wants to go and I'm kind of intimidated about going on my own. I'm already thinking about cosplay ideas for if I do go, though I definitely won't be attempting anything as complicated (and cool!) as your weeping angel.
I kind of do a mix of going on my own or going with other people. You meet tons of people to hang out with at cons anyway with so many events and just the general crowd. You should definitely cosplay when you go.
