3liza's cosplay blog

i knew this would happen. i know i would end up dressing as homestucks in public. smgdh. this is Eliza's sideblog to document cosplay process. i was Elegant Gothic Lolita Rose Lalonde and the Vault Dweller from Fallout 1/2 at Sakura Con 2013. planning to attend Anime Expo in LA later this year.

I had to make an ankh out of sculpey for a Death cosplay because I don't actually own one.  Which seems bizarre.

Have some sloppy slow-day headcanon: Dave and Roxy are total party buddies and often fall asleep in some awkward position/pile/arrangement together in a drunken haze.

Dirk and Rose have started taking pics for “family traditions" and put it in a cute little album and everything, but Roxy and Dave just laugh and argue over who looks the most wasted. Yep.

The jawa dancer costume was impossible to photograph, sorry.  These are the best I have.  Featured: ironic Klingon.

Well, it's been a few weeks and I can only find about four photos of my Vault Dweller cosplay from Sakura Con 2013, none of them from the back.  And unfortunately I was wearing it in the exhibitor's hall all day because I was working, and I completely missed the opportunity to take advantage of springtime Seattle's beautiful light.

I am planning to take this thing out to the desert and shoot some of my own photos, so hopefully there will be better documentation soon.

Photographer credit is on the watermark in the corner.

jawa eye possibilities. the amber ones are LED throwies and quite small, but will probably read fine in a dark club. the violet ones are LED string lights, banded into clusters of seven bulbs (with one left over in the middle, to be taped over) with a battery pack and, while I like the look and brightness of the violet, it's definitely LOOM and not Star Wars. what I need are amber string LEDs, but there's no time. the violet ones are really cool because they look like compound eyes and seem to "follow" you as my head turns. oh well! I have two hours to figure this out, but at least I'm not doing hair or makeup for this costume.

rejected design for the top of the Jawa dancer costume. too fancy looking to be even close to canon. might come in handy for a different outfit though.
