Well now, it's unfortunate that we weren't able to join the masquerade at NDK 2007 but now we have a whole year to plan it out! We need to come up with a series or theme and a list of characters we could all go as; then we'll make a script. If all goes well, we'll be able to present this at NDK 2008 or possibly other conventions we get the chance to attend.
Ideas for our group cosplay:[/u] -Pokemon: Your choice/random -Pokemon: Pokemorphs -Pokemon: Eevee evolutions -Super Smash Brothers characters -Starwars: Original characters -Monty Python characters
It looks like the winner is Pokemon! Wow, didn't see that one coming...
Participants: Ani - Ratatta (Full Suit) Night- Ninetails (Full Suit) Tusami - Aerodactyl (Full Suit) Kama - Jolteon (Partial Suit?) Shyria - Dragonite (Full Suit?) Kaito - Pokemon, Undecided [/color]

Yeah, it did sucked about what happened. They just jealous of our awesome costumes! D:<
Anyhoo~ A group cosplay sounds like a great idea, they're always a lot of fun! Though, I highly suggest that we stay awesome from 'original' characters so cross out 'Star Wars: Original Characters' because... who'd really know who we are or what we're supposed to be, I mean really? BD;
I like the idea of pokemon over then pokemorphs because yeah, full body suit is more lovable! xD The Eevee evolution isn't such a bad idea either; IF we decided to do this, then I call dibs on Jolteon! >_> -coughs-
Super Smash Brothers is pretty neat too; practically every gamer would know the characters so we'd get more attention easily. xD;; Though I dunno if I want to spend time to make a costume since I really need to watch my money. Curse you college but yeah~ :>

Yeah, they knew we would just totally pawn them :D
Yeah, I have to agree with you there. Not anyone would really recognize us and we'd only be popular if we had really good costumes. I might still make a Dion costume one day and take it to somewhere like starfest. Though I think that this year Kama is going as Sith Kama since she commissioned Night to do the head piece for her. But again, as long as you have a good spiffy looking costume, you'll be fine though not recognizable.
Yes, I agree. Full body Pokemon suits are that much more awesome and lovable! And again, more people would recognize us. Like if you decided to go as Amber instead of Scarlet last year, it would have not nearly been the same. And I thought we were being totally orginial by going with the Eevee thing but I have seen a Jolteon/Flareon/Vaporeon cosplay on cosplay.com that was pretty good. And you want Jolteon? Heheh, I think everyone likes him the most, Kama was thinking about being Jolteon/Will. Actually now that I think about it, I don't know if we could ever agree on who is going to be who if we did an Eevee form cosplay group. Plus, you're more likely to be dedicated to making the costume if it's a character you really like. I think out of all the Pokemon ideas, I vote for full body normal random Pokemon.
Super Smash Bros... oh yes. I like this idea. Especially since Brawl is coming out in February *cannot wait, even though I don't own a Wii* it'll be popular, but then again there's a big 7ish month gap between its release and NDK 2008. So it probably won't have as major of an effect but still, I like the idea. Again it gives a wide variety of characters to choose from. And yeah, ugghhh.. evil school and evil money and evil time. You can eliminate two of those things by commissioning people but then again, that will kill your wallet.
I think I vote for going as normal Pokemon. Ani, you said that you're probably going as a Ratatta. I was thinking about going as an Aerodactyl (weee! Won't THAT be fun not being able to use my arms? lol) So anyone else have any suggestions/comments on this? And of course, to belong in the group, all you have to do is go buy a Pokeball or something and make a Pokemon Trainer costume in 10 seconds flat. That's why I like the idea the best, everyone can join in even if they don't make their main costume a Pokemon one. And plus we have that skit idea almost all the way planned out! Sweetness

Uhhh... wow, I had a huge typo in my last post. I highly suggest that we stay awesome from 'original' characters I meant to say; I highly suggest that we stay AWAY from... Yeah. Wow, I can't believe I missed that. xD
Anywaaay, back to topic. >_>
Well, yes, argeeably if we have a really awesome costumes, people would pay a lot of attention to us. Example would be that wolf fursuit with deer antlers we saw at NDK; now THAT was an amazing costume and it's no wonder why he got so much attention. But I'm just saying that most people like to see recongizable character; it's their favorite characters in real world! I mean, what's more exciting then that? I mean, I don't know about you but I always get so excited whenever I see someone point out to me and yell "Ohmygod! It's a Mightyena!" But that's just me. x3
Really? I haven't really looked around on cosplay.com ever since Akon, but I'll take your word for it. Anyway, yes, I vote for full body normal random pokemon too. Scarlet wasn't really much of a success at NDK the year before this because she was an orinigal character and I didn't really expect people to really know a shadow Flygon when they see one. xD But yeah, I agree. <3
Well, you'd be surprised Tusami. I mean, even after all of these years ever since Final Fantasty X came out, people STILL dressed up as Sir Auron, Yuna, and Rikku and they still got attention. And look at Kingdom Hearts 2! People still went as Axel, Roxas, Organzation 17, Sora, etc and they got assload of attention. Trust me, it'll still have effect by the time NDK 2008 comes around. xD And you're right, it does give us a wide variety of characters to choose from... But like I said, I'm not sure if I want to make a costume from the game when I can still go as Rattata.
Speaking of Rattata, yes, I am going to try to make a Rattata costume. x3 Ah, Tusami, Aerodactyl "techically" does have arms. Okay, let's look at your picture of Nero for an example-
![](http://tn3-2.deviantart.com/fs14/300W/f/2007/044/9/7/Nero_by_Tusami.jpg)
Your arm should be the wing up till the 'fingers' and maybe have an extension from the top of your hand out to complete the wing span. Like have a wire of some sort and cover it in fabric; like what you were going to do with the Charizard wings! You get what I mean? >_> Lmao, yeah, that's also why I like the idea of having a pokemon group; anybody can join in easily; it doesn't always nesssarily got to have a pokemon costume. And ah... I love that skit. xD Now we got practically a year, we can make our skit an even better one!

lol, yeah I noticed your typo but I knew what you meant :3
So yey, that's two votes for Pokemon! I'm pretty sure that's what we'll end up doing either way. Though yeah I'd love to make more than one costume, I know I won't be able to.
And lol! About my Aerodactly costume, yes I was planning to do it the way you said. When I said that I won't be able to use my arms what I meant was that I'm going to have difficultly doing anything with my arms and especially my hands. I also hope not too accidentally whack people too much when I pose for the camera and stretch my wings out but I won't be able to pick things up really at all. Basically I won't be able to use my arms for practical purposes. I've seen bats and such done before and so yeah, that's what I had in mind to do it like. ^^ Weee!

Yeah, I'd love to make another pokemon costume but I really don't know if I got the time to do it as well as the money. It sucks to be an average person with average money problems. D: xDD
Hm... Maybe you will, maybe you won't. I guess it just depends on how you make it. Lmao, about stretching out and hitting other people with it, I know how that is. I worried about that when I was Scarlet and having to flip up my wings to attatch them to my back. >_>;;; xD But hey, you never know until you try, right? :D But yeah, like I said, it just depends on how you make them. <3

I'd have to say I'm voting for Pokemon this year as well. I already called dibs on Dragonite. Maybe next year we can do Smash Bros, though if we do I'm not sure whether I'd try to do Twilight Princess/ Brawl Link or just Melee-design Link (it helps that I'm already left-handed ^.=.^D)

Meh. I ish lazy. I plan on going in '08, but most likely as my character in human form. I've got the hair spray, I'm going to get the coat and colored contacts, and if I feel up to a challenge, I'll make a foam replica of Nzgznemu, or maybe the World-Sword.

personally i'm up for the pokemon group, I plan on doing a ninetales for akon this year and hopefully for NDK as well
if we do decide to do a eevee evolution I call dibs on umbreon! XD but yeah..I think that maybe we could even try to do an eon cosplay (eon of course as in us!) cause..well believe it or not but I do have eon night's outfit 8> maybe it would be fun to run around in them on friday night

Well then... it's obvious what theme we want to do for 2008 as pokemon wins by a long stretch. xD But yeah, we all already have plans for a pokemon costume so might as well go ahead and make it a pokemon group again.
Hm... If we ever do decide to go as the Eeveeultion group, I suppose I can be Vaporeon if Kama's going to be a Jolteon. Because... I don't know why but it always bugs me whenever I have the same costume as somebody else. xDD;; But yeah, I doubt that we all wanna spend extra effort to make two costumes. ^_^;
We could dress up as Eons on Friday, it is possible though nobody will know who we are. xDDD Ohwell. *swears that I will make a new set of Ani ears* So people can stop calling me a cat. BD;;;;

well yeah...no one will probably know who we are but the point is we'll still look really cool! I mean most of the costumes arent really 'normal' so we should stand out a bit at least. besides you could make a really nice big fluffy ani ears, and maybe an even nicer tail than the one that we made...and hey maybe even have some rocks XD but for the most part we'd still be in costume, and they would be the nice light weight ones to run around in and have fun!

actaully its not as hard as you would think to make a fur suit....ok maybe thats a bit of an understatement--but the point is there are plenty of online tutorials on how to make headpieces, not to mention that you could always ask one of your friends to help ya out!

Hey! I actually have a GREAT Idea for a costume group! Yes, it's not ANIME RELATED. >_>; But it doesn't have to be, right? I'm thinking we can do like the cast from Monty Python and the Holy Grail! I call dibs on King Arthur!
