Pink top test video upZ~^_^


Added a new video of the Yoko mask, in the Meer Campbell customisation. Posted a number of photos of this costume a couple of weeks ago. Didn't put on Meer's signature star shaped hairpin for this video... I feel it didn't really matter hehe. Used the new camera angle... wanted to see if its ok or not. This angle of video is video from the digital camera. The camera is a full HD digital camera, probably the first of its kind... the videos it takes lags even when played on my fairly new computer. So video editing is a little troublesome. The other thing is that its in portrait view, so it turns up 90 degrees rotated in the computer. Its kinda a hassle and slows the rendering process further to re-render a rotated and down sized version. hehe~^_^;

Well... other things which I'm busy with is the making of two new T-fa modelled masks. They are both customised differently. I suppose no one has seen the T-fa mask in another except for the Tifa customisation. If you're curious how they would turn out, then same thoughts here. Both masks are in the process of finishing (polishing), one is almost completed and ready to paint. I'll get them both ready to be painted simultaneously... might need a couple of days of work for that. The hair has arrived for one of them too~ hehe... so are the eyes.

Stay tuned for more updates~^_^
Don't forget to rate and comment on the video~ Thank you~!!!~<3

T-fa test video. Black and white lolita dress



Added a new video today, its the video of the zentai-less T-fa cosplay in the black and white lolita dress.
I just realised that I haven't made a video for the T-fa mask yet. I guess it is about time I put this one up~^_^
I really ought to put at least a couple more videos of the T-fa mask so that interested buyers can have something to look at when deciding which mask to buy. Come to think of it, even the Yoko mask doesn't have a proper video >_<
Eeeks... kinda shoddy and late in the work.

Hehe, some of you may noticed that there is a little stray hair falling down the side... Well, first videos sometimes tend to be a problem as all these masks are the first of its kind~^_^ Think I'll fix it before the next time I use it.

So, what do you all think of the T-fa mask? Hehe, may I ask that you leave a comment and rating if you are not in too much or a hurry~^_^ Enjoy~

Have your bookmarks point to www.kigurumicosplay.com yet?

Been a little busy with work and a couple mask orders. As some of you may be aware, I have gotten myself a domain name which is www.kigurumicosplay.com
It is about time I thought since wyu.ulmb.com is kinda not really a domain name hehe... If only a couple years back there were good webspace providers alike to nowdays which provides a complimentary domain name when you sign up for paid hosting with them. Now most people will find inertia in going to the new address since you're all already used to this one. The visitor which I'm most concerned about when doing this name change is Mr. Google... as he will surely complain how he will need to do crawl all over the new address again.

Another thing which caught my attention is the spread of swine flu. Hmm its seemingly not as deadly as the previous epidemic of SARS, but it is clear that this flu spreads much quicker and easier than SARS. There has already been hundreds and many countries entering the thousands of infeected cases. The situation is fairly minor at where I live, but I'm sure some of you may be living in countries with more severe spreads. So I wish all dear visitors to take care of themselves and be extra vigilant of the situation. Pay attention to the news and your own health condition.

As for me, I decided to go into Doll Mode to shelter out till the end of the epidemic. Well, dolls are made of plastic so we can't catch diseases can we~^_^ Below are a few pictures of me sitting around waiting for the epidemic spread to end.






Been waiting for quite some time until I started to fall over. Still waiting...
Reports says that it won't be over soon and might go on for a few years so I guess I'll be lying around for some time. If you see me covered in dust, do give me a dust down.

What is your, or are your ultimate last resort plans to counter the swine flu?
Talk about it in the forums if you have some interesting idea to share hehe~^_^

Hehe... the remaining pictures of T-fa cosplaying in the black and white lolita costume are ready. I even took a video, but I haven't even got time to look at it yet. Meantime, here are the pictures, I hope you like them and don't forget to check out the mask making thread updates in the forums as well as other interesting discussions going on~^_^

Zentai-less Kigurumi cosplay~ Black and white T-fa

Hmm, will kigurumi cosplay be fine without a zentai? I suppose if the suit is completely covered from head to toe, it doesn't really make a difference does it? What if it is only 97% covered from head to toe? Well I did a cosplay today of T-fa in the lolita dress and kept the colour in the attire to only black and white hehe~
But it is unique this time as no zentai was worn. Hehe... did a short short live show after that and some viewers did managed to spot that~

I was initially looking for my skin toned hood but I couldn't find it... I guess I just have to do it bare neck then >_<; Well, without zentai, the costume is in contact with the body. Its alot less restricting in feel, and i guess its fairly comfortable. One less layer of glove meant that typing was also easier too. In fact, the zentai fingers are usually harder to type with since its thicker than normal gloves~^_^ Another occasion where I cosplayed zentai-less was the Asuka plugsuit. It doesn't make sense to wear a the skin coloured bodysuit when it is not possible to see it at all, I couldn've worn a blue, a black or gold suit and no one would see it. Hehe, only if you want to feel extra restricted in the plugsuit would you do that~^_^

I've posted some images taken today below. As usual these are the speed releases, I haven't got all the images prepared yet. T-fa looked like a toy doll >_<...

Please note the following updates~^_^

Hi everyone, phew... its been really busy busy busy.
I thought that the website was pretty much done the other day then I realised that there were some problems faced by members. So I went back to the drawing board and did another rather large renovation and now it is almost done.
Please DO NOT visit the links page for the time being, it is kinda messed up~^_^; I promise I'll get it fixed as soon as I can~
As usual, if you saw this message, please give me your feedback here:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=361
Please do not hesitate to tell me anything which is even the slightest amiss.
I'm still finding it a little short of perfect and will be making small changes shortly, and your input will be most appreciated ^_^

Another update. I have registered for a domain name so I will slowly start to use the URL http://www.kigurumicosplay.com from now on. The previous URL http://wyu.ulmb.com is still operational, but eventually, it will be changed into the new URL completely~^_^

The other thing I was busy with was the silicone mold for the new mask. The mold has cured, took less than 6 hours actually. Pretty quick but I let it sit for over 12 hours. There were a few dimples here and there which I've filled and repaired.
I've talked more about the mold in the new mask making thread (silicone mold) click on the image to visit there~^_^
