More than I can actually finish for this year's Kumoricon actually. Also I might be going to Sakura con maybe (when is it again?), possibly. But I need an iPhone first. Because reasons involving logistics and a Schätzchen. So shut up. <_< >_> <_<
HETALIA:
-Germany, (Luftwaffe uniform. That's the blue one people): Completed, with the exception of a few tweaks. The third year of tweaks, but by god it will be /finished/ this time I swear. I made the whole thing with 3 1/2 yards of wool fabric I'm ahead of the game.
-Germany, (Wehrmacht uniform. Which would be the green one, yes you're right guy in the back): Is currently being a comforter on my bed while I make a comforter... I need to actually start it, 6 months is enough despite my OCD for details probably(?), I'll be sewing it with a machine this time... I found the /perfect/ rank pips though yesterday~ Now somebody explain why the hell I always end up with Lieutenant's stuff.
-Germany, (Afrika uniform): Is about 20% finished kinda, again I need to sew it. Mostly this is a 'bought' cosplay, I just need to make a shirt and find money and socks now that I've found the perfect colour /and/ material content fabric (hell yes, go fabric depot). And oh yeah more contacts, I need to buy more blue contacts...
-Germany, (Panzertuppen uniform): Though it's from a fan art, would people get it or would I just be that guy with the portable loudspeaker? I have no stuff for this, it's one of those 'if I won the lottery and learned how radios work' things, so probably I'll start it next year aha...ha...yeaaah...
-Germany, (HetaWeen costume): It's about half done, we'll see if it beats one of my others to the con though, I'm pretty stoked about one of my others and it's not even from an anime /but it still totally counts/. Mostly just the leather-work left, and that's it. Whoo~
HISTORIC:
Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen: I am so incredibly stoked you have no freaking idea. He's just too cute I can't even. Can I just build a time machine already? Fuck science, I saw that movie I just need a mailbox and some sweet lake-side property.
Realistically his uniform is a freaking nightmare though. Simple enough, it just doesn't quite match anything in my book of /everything/. I read books, I know why, he was a very 'this is me and I'm doing it my way' kind of guy, I'm cool with that, I can identify (obviously or I wouldn't be so excited). He really wanted to be an Ulan and he made it and was proud of it, I can't fault him for wearing the uniform for everything, but is the front sewn on on that side or not, I need more footage internet don't disappoint me, I've seen it I just don't know where you're hiding it. Thank goodness for old film and his habit of always having his hands in his pockets or I'd be having pocket angst again, and that was not so much fun. I have so much stuff I still need to buy for this it's insane, buttons alone are going to cost me 50$ (I want it up to snuff, I don't have a regulations book for nothing you know), plus hat, plus fabric, plus shoes, plus medals I don't have yet, plus etc... So we'll see, but I'm excited for it so it gets priority over some others.
OTHER..?:
I think at some point I had other plans, but then I got slightly obsessed and now I don't remember what they were...
POLL:
I'm getting money for a job later in the month, should I get buttons or a hat? I'm leaning both ways at different times.

Kumoricon time again it seems,
And as usual, I shall be there. Although with some changes to the line-up:
Due to monetary/other issues I won't be able to do SNK/AoT Reiner this year, though he's still in the line-up for next year at this point. As a result the entirety of the costumes I'm bringing will be Hetalia, though which days for what I'm not sure yet as it's really going to depend on the weather.
Day 0: I will be Volki, who is my version of 2!P Germany. He has the scarring (which will be better this year), but no curly hair.
Other days: Blue Uniform Germany and WW1 Pilot Germany/Manfred von Richtofen

Happy New Year everyone!
Finally uploading the con pictures I took, probably all this week. We'll see if I can save some of them from blurriness or not. If not then.. well there's a handful because I didn't have my regular camera.
If I'm supposed to have contacted anyone over winter break let me know, if you have my e-mail contact me through there. If not, then through here.
Winter break was great, but now it's back to the drudge of finding work and working toward goals for the future. Namely I need a time machine. I couldn't find some of the right kind of fabric to use as a lining because to the best of my knowledge they just don't make i
Post-Con report, Kumoricon 2013
Now that I feel like I can write coherent sentences I can do this...more coherently. Sorry Bruder.
Day 0: Got a late start, made later by traffic. :/ On the plus side I got commandeered for the Hetalia Improv panel before I even arrived. xD Got there, schlepped luggage, blah blah. Met up with Will for a bit and met some of his friends, we all played a few rounds of Anime Survival Guide, which I mostly lost, but won once by balance.
I went as a modern 2p!Germany, because with everything else I couldn't fit my normal clothes into my suitcase and I just freaking love those boots. I got recognised more than I thought I would, though walking aro
This is an update
Yes. Yes it is.
The update is that I still need to update and I've been very busy, and Tumblr has eaten most of my free time.
I'm cool with that.
I have fabric and stuff, I'm very excited about it.
I have to go do drafts, just...
I'm still here and things will be uploaded.
