Paint jobs out of the way~^_^

The painting tasks for the new masks are finally all completed. I posted an image of all the masks painted and ready for the next step below. Phew, the arrival of the suits made me had to rush a little and I ended up finishing 4 masks within two days~.

Now that they are completed, I managed to clear quite a fair bit of room to dye the suits. Should be able to send off the first of the few suits this coming Monday after all of them have dried thoroughly after the dye-ing process.

Wanted to talk about a little about the updates. The test plug suit is nearly completed. The wiring and buttons are done and will be attached to the suit very shortly. The cuffs and the rest of the accessories are also nearly finished. Will be starting on the backpack soon, thats the one bit which I have forgotten about.

For visitors who haven't got a clue how the test plug suit is supposed to look like, I have posted some images below. Its appearance in the second Evangelion movie is short... very short... :( But I kinda like it~^_^

Can you guess what these are?

Wanted to talk about a brief update. The new masks are mostly completed, needed to get them out of the way to create room for dye-ing the suits. Spent the entire day painting all masks and a few other accessories. As shown in the picture on the left, can anyone make out what those things are for? There is a still a few more accessories to go, but I need to get the suits prepared after this.

Has anyone acquired the new Evangelion 2.22 movie released on Bluray? I just watched it today, wow, the quality is great and so is the action. Its a pity Asuka didn't get to stay throughout the entire show. In some sense she's kinda poor thing for getting emotionally and physically... not to mention having her injuries neglected too >_< Poor Asuka~T_T

I took some images of the masks in making, they have been fully painted. The black usual eye sockets are actually already painted on as I am writing this, just that I took the picture before I painted them on. Below is the picture of one of the Saya masks. Stay tuned for more updates coming up. I'm rushing for the sake of getting all the orders out to you soon~^_^

Asuka new plugsuit 87% completed~^_^

I have some good news to tell some people, and that is.... the bodysuits have arrived. Yes indeed, I am holding on them in my hands as I write (trying hard not to drop them while typing) this post~^_^ At last after the long wait. For those who have ordered it, will you mind dropping me a message, and I wish to apologise and inform you of what is going to happen from here. In short, I will be dye-ing them (perhaps tomorrow), making sure its all dry and proper before sending them off to the buyers~ Thank you to those who have waited for so long, the end of the wait is in sights.

Wanted to talk a little about a new costume which I have been making (actually designing and then having a tailor make it for me) is Asuka's new plugsuit from Evangelion 2.0. Oh by the way, huge huge news... Evangelion 2.22 is out on Bluray DVDs... which means, I can finally watch it... In fact, I already have it heh heh. I hope to find a couple of hours later to give it a watch. I have a few friends who claim its really really good.

Any Evangelion fans or fans of Asuka's new plugsuit here? I really like it very much...but not much about the fact that Asuka hurt her eye and that she's not the pilot for EVA-02 in the 2.0 movie :( Maybe it will all become right again in the Evangelion 3.0 movie~

Back to the topic on the suits... hehe subject hopping. I took some images of the bodysuits so that people do not have to worry, this time there really is no mistake about the suit arriving. Hehe, they look like packets of dope's don't they. Its just because they are packed neatly into small rectangular bags. I will have to open everyone of them and dye them to the desired colour.

It will take a bit of time to dye them all. I will dye those who order suits alone first. For those who ordered the suit with the mask, since they will only be shipped together with the mask when its ready, I will get them done to finish at the same time the mask finishes. ^_^ Will be busy the next few days~

From the Asuka new plugsuit images, you can see that the plugsuit is not exactly complete. Thats why I titled the post to be 87% completed. All that is made by my tailor is what you see in the pictures now. I can't wait till it finished so I tried it and took a few shots. I even have the Eva 2.0 Asuka's new plugsuit hair clips~^_^ Check out the pics. I also have those little button like things and materials to make the wrist cuffs and back pack. Phew~ seems like a lot of work remaining. What do you think of it so far?~^_^

New masks 77% completed

Not sure how and why, but it seems like through baby steps, I managed to get the new masks nears to completion already. When these pictures were posted, I have already done two additional steps which are panel lining and lacquering of two coats. It is about time for me to start printing out the eyes, cutting out them and the lashes and getting prepared to attach them after the masks get painted.

It won't be much too long from now, the masks will be finished, and hopefully by then the suits which accompany them will have arrived. I'm running out of space keeping multiple life sized dolls (including Asuka) in my premises, I sure anticipate I finish them and ship them off to customers making them happy. If you are a buyer, thank you for your patience. If you are a visitor, you're welcomed to visit the forum thread involving the making of these masks. I haven't posted anything up in there at the time of creating this post, but soon I will, hehe.

Below are what they look like now, all shined and ready to go~^_^

Indeed, there are 2 Saya and one Yoko mask shown in the picture. The Yoko mask is the smallest model I have, compared to the newer Saya mask, it seems to be only a partial difference.

Will be commencing to paint these 3 masks and a 4th at the same time~ Hehe, owner of the 4th mask (T-fa), yours is not forgotten` no worries. I'll post images of them 4 in the next update. Come to think of it, one of the masks will be customised for the Mai Shiranui look. She is one of my favourite characters too. Thinking of that makes me want to finish and have the a look at it ASAP~ hehe.

And more pictures of Asuka and her pink casual wear. It is a pink Camisole and white skirt with a dark pink jacket tried around the waist. Seems to be an official attire since there are many merchandises and artworks referencing this image. Hope you like it, stay tuned, and do chat about anything in the forums k~_^

Asuka Pink Casual~

The cosplay this time is an official casual attire. Casual attires are nowadays more appealing to me than anime costumes. Perhaps because I have tried nearly all the genres of costumes and nearly all the characters I really wanted to try already. So all the costumes that are left are casuals which won't ever run out unlike a specific costume~^_^

Hehe, the picture of the figurine of Asuka in her pink casual wear is mine... After reciting a spell, I managed to bring her into life shown in the image on the right~ lol... well give and take.

Did a live show in this attire and another red top for quite a few hours after the shoot. Images of the red top are also posted below. Got a few new attires's for Asuka lately, all casual... in different styles though. Such as the one above, the long sleeve red stretch top, a halter neck mini skirt (will show next time) and new silver leggings (also next time). Been really really busy with a lot of matters, both stressful, fun filled and... yet again more stressful tasks to handle, so hardly found time to take shoots. Somehow managed to squeeze this through.

I ought to talk about the mask and suit orders. I have hardly touched the masks after I smoothened them a 4th time. But no worries, I kept working on it even at a slower pace. They are ready to be lacquered and painted (just have to find some time) and next will be the wigs. The wigs have arrive too... so... yeah. Its all bottled necked at my end... busy busy busy. As for the suits, they should be arriving at my doorsteps sometime soon. I promise I will take some pictures (in case some of you might think that I have ran off with your money) to give you a sign of how they look like ... and I'll try my best to quickly dye them into shade. Thereafter, all it needs is to dry and get packaged and sent off. Phew~... once again, my sincerest inexcusable apologies for the delay T_T.

Some pics of the shoot and live are posted below. Took nearly a hundred pictures, but only had time to crop and post up these few. I hope you will like them hehe... for Asuka fans, tell me, how you find the outfit~^_^ I really like Asuka's pink casual attire look that's why I got it for my kig. Hehe, and the red top? I hope you enjoy.
