As we head deeper into 2013 I realize that my list on projects is getting bigger by the day. So to help keep track I've decided to share my work logs with everyone.
Project 1 - HATSUNE MIKU 初音ミク
As you may or may not know Hatsune Miku is one of the stars of the vocaloid world. Basically she is a singing synthesizer application with a humanoid persona, she has even performed at live concerts, not bad for a singer who is projected onto the stage. I'm not quiet sure why she, over her other counterparts, has taken my particular fancy. Maybe its her clothing, or maybe its because she has that right mix of cute and bossy princess all rolled into one. Needless to say she is super cute and project one this year.
Thankfully there is a lot of reference material for her out there so making this costume will be a bit simpler than some of my other ideas.
The image above gives a general snapshot of whats needed for a basic cosplay outfit, and there are lots of tutorials out there too.
Most of this week will be spend sourcing everything, and I admit the wig is a part I'm really looking forward to as it will be my first true anime wig. So with my pennies saved up it will be a week of shopping me thinks. Then a lot of time making it all just right. Now with the hardest part (i hope) done, that of finally choosing the project to start working on I need to get to work. especially as is February now and the next con is mid march........
