Feb Progress Check-in

3/3/2015

0 Comments

 
While I wait to get photos to go with my KCC report, I want to do a small progress post. I had really really wanted to finish one of the 3 costumes that I'm actively working on by the end of February. I tried hard to push at least one of them to a point where I could consider it complete. Unfortunately, I failed in that goal. (Though I take solace in that it's due to the fact that I've been splitting my time between >5 costumes this month instead of due to me slacking off)

I ran into different problems with each of my main projects (what I've decided to call 2015's Phase One)

Princess Hawkguy's props can't be finished because the winter weather has been too cold to work with the paints and glues I need to use. (This is in addition to my wig being in Ottawa and my sunglasses probably being on a boat somewhere on the Pacific, but at least those should be ready to use on arrival.)
Modern Mai is on hold mostly because I'm waiting on delivery of some stuff I want to try using to style her wig.

.... scratch that, everything arrived today. No more excuses!

Related costume Modern Zuko is on hold because it's very difficult to coordinate shoe shopping with a boyfriend who lives a couple hours away.

Extremis Pepper was going well except there were some design/instruction issues with the pepakura file I was using for the glove and so KW Iron Man decided to just redesign the palm from scratch. So... waiting for another pattern there I guess.

All the finger pieces are primed and ready for colour though.
Although I'm disappointed that I didn't get any of those three done, I am far enough along to still consider myself on schedule for my goals this year. Izabel was completed in January, and Mai and Princess Hawkguy are both far enough along that I can easily get both done in March. Then I can get down to serious cosplay business through April and May working on Midna and my Anime North back-up costume. Extremis Pepper's completion goal is for SouSho in June. Then I'm going to spend the summer working on the rest of Phase One (namely Nightingale and finishing Midna),  collaboration costumes with/for KW Iron Man and Iron Girl (Phase Two!), and a couple brand new projects which I'm really excited to get started on (Phase Three!!)

Finally, I've been posting fewer individual progress photos lately, mostly because I've been working on so many different things a little at a time, saving image posts for when whole sections of a single costume are done. Sometimes I randomly put single progress images on Facebook or Twitter, but it really is random; I'm god about taking photos, but it disrupts my workflow at lot to try to post while I'm working on things. If you realllly want to keep tabs on whether I'm on track though, I've put a running progress meter for each costume on the right side of my blog (assuming you're reading this on my blog page). This way it's easy for me to keep myself accountable without having to constantly post images and boring descriptions!

Anyways, time to get back to work!
