Asuka mask debut~

Today is the first time ever that I made my own costume from scratch lol~ I bought a couple of metres of yellow satin and made Asuka's sundress using only the portable sewing machine I bought some time ago~^_^ I originally wanted to buy the costume off my fav tailors, but its gonna cost me US$55 at best for just such a simple dress. I can understand since the shipment fees can't get any lower even if the dress is really simple.

Below are some pictures of the dress in making... well by the time I took these pics, the top part and the skirt part has already been finished >_<; All that is left to do in the picture is the pleat the skirt, and then combine the top and bottom together... I really learnt a fair bit on sewing today by doing this hehe~^_^














I decided to use this costume to debut my new mask officially~^_^ The Asuka mask~ This mask will replace the Ignis mask in my products page and I will be renovating the products page shortly too (in a few days time) to facilitate for shoppers to be able to understand and obtain the masks more effectively~^_^

The Asuka mask has evolved from its original headform, the C2, into the Ignis and finally into the Asuka~^_^ Well there can be alot more to experiment with on the shape of the eye. For now, I made the eyes a little narrower and I left it as it is~ Hehe, since its the Asuka mask, I have made plans for a number of her known apparels with this yellow sundress as one of the first~^_^ Asuka has alway been one of my fav chars, I used all I learnt up till now to make this mask >_< The high quality zentai is also helping a lot. Its making the skin texture look softer and at the same time very opaque, if you recall how my former skin toned suit still show some skin @_@...

Being a C2, Ignis descendent, the Asuka mask is the alluring/seductive looking mask model. I made her cheeks more slim and the head slightly smaller compared to the Ignis. She's been on live shows the past couple of days, but this is the first time the mask is used (after the eyes have been adjusted) in pictures.

Busy with work work work~^_^

Phew, lately I'm bogged down with heeeaps of stuff I need to do. Dealing with some large projects at the same time having a substantially large order of kigurumi masks and zentais this month.
But the good thing is, I amd becoming good at managing time for doing multiple things and it made me feel more active^^.

The picture of the blue haired mask on the left is what I just finished with today, the blue haired T-fa mask. Click on it to visit the forum thread which talks about it. I haven't been able to ship off some of the masks which are finished... firstly because the high quality material zentais are travelling twice around the world to get done..phew and also that... well, I'm just finishing up the mask too quickly. A high quality kigurumi mask takes me about 1 week to finish nowdays with the tools and knowlege I picked up. Well, but I usually make 2 at a time, so its 2 in a week.

If anyone of you wishes to buy a kigurumi mask, now is the time to buy~^_^ I've more or less perfected most of what I demand off a kigurumi mask and perhaps soon, I would've gotten bored of making it and stop making them hehe~^^

I'm still working on my new Asuka mask hehe... named it~
Thinking of playing around with the eye shape, well from past experience, I have illustrated in my tutorials and other works that the same mask with different eye shapes can make a huge difference. Sorry for the long sentence... long sentence is long lol
But I haven't had time to do the craftwork... but that is what I have in store for the new Asuka mask~^_^ Here is how it looks like now, a sneak preview ^^

Meer in pink top gallery opened~^_^

Finally an update~ hee~ ^_^ I've added twice the number of Meer in pink top images into the gallery and collated all of the images and video into one place~ And so, the Meer Campbell in pink top gallery is opened.

Its actually two costumes combined into one, I think I mentioned that the last time before. Its a pink tank top with a short miniskirt and under it, its a bondage wear costume made from black spandex strings ^_^

The combination of pink and black goes quite fine I reckon, do you think so? Well... other than that, there is one more main significance to this gallery. And that is Yoko mask as Meer Campbell's final appearance. ^_^; This mask has been sold, in order to fund for my newer Yoko modification masks and also to make more room in my... room~^^
The mask is sold with a few other Live Wear Yu classic kigurumi masks, the Ignis and the senior C2 mask~^_^ The sale thread and its discussions can be found here:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=571

I intend to further improve the open mout smiling face Yoko mask so that she will look cuter~^_^ (hopefully~) Not sure when the Yoko (refurbished) mask will reappear again... perhaps before the end of the year. But I hope you will stay tuned till then~^_^

Well, the new "..." mask is almost finished. Its a refurbishing of the Ignis mask~^_^ The name has not been decided yet >_<... Click on the image to view the forum mask making tutorial thread on the new mask~^_^ I hope to be able to finish the hair styling by tomorrow and give it a spin~hehe

Just a reminder for visitors who are interested, I have started a new bulk order for the high quality zentai for kigurumi cosplay purposes in the thread here:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=613
Its back by popular demand and a few friends wanting to place their orders. Please state your interest, some of you were asking the other time but didn't get to have a proper discussion. I don't want to take too long waiting for this this time.

Do stay tuned, I forsee that the next update will be very soon, especially with the "..." mask finished hehe... hopefully I can finally see how she looks~^_^
Have a great day, don't forget to write about interesting things in the forums if you have some time~^^

Sneak Peek~^_^

Sailormars (T-fa mask) gallery opened~

New pictures of T-fa cosplaying as Sailormars has been added and the gallery opened. I intend to add a drop down menu to the gallery link as there are actually two galleries now. A member's gallery and my former gallery. I hope to do that soon~^_^

I have been really occupied lately, I guess it will continue to be so for some time. At the same time, I am busy with a couple of new mask productions and customisations. Hopefully I can get them done with soon and I am also hoping that more orders can come in~

I'll like to make this opportunity to call out one more time just in case anyone miseed it.
There is a new combine purchasing of the zentai made from high quality spandex for kigurumi cosplay purposes on right now. The place to express your interest is in the topic itself in the forums which can be found here:

http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=512&start=20#p6291

In order to secure your order, please send the payment to my Paypal account. The details for these are in the last few posts. Please take some time to read the instructions and some reviews of the suit.
I intend to close the bulk purchase this friday so if you're looking for savings on a real quality zentai, try not to miss it~^_^

At the same time, I am re-furbishing the Ignis headform. So in other words, the Ignis mask is no longer replicatable. And the last one is sold too >_<; (By the way, the C2 mask is still on special offer). I have done more work on the refurbished Ignis headform and I'll post pictures of its current appearance tomorrow. If you're interested to find out how it is turning out, do drop by the forum thread listed below. If you have any feedback, I would love to hear it please~^_^ (I changed the style of the mask, its the first of a new range of design perhaps hmm)

Also, for visitors and members who haven't drop by the member's galleries, I realised that you can view everyone's pictures as a collective gallery by just clicking on the recent images button (>_<... oh you mean you know that already @_@??) Hehe... I thought its kinda convennient so I just mentioned it.

http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/gallery/search.php?search_id=recent

I'll add this link to the navigation bar soon~^_^;
Hehe, I'll push towards to next update as best I could. But in the mean time when I'm not free, I can still easily chat in the forums. Thank you for your patience~^_^

Meer Campbell (Yoko mask) gallery opened~^_^

Another Meer Campbell sub gallery has been opened~^_^ This time I added the pictures of Yoko cosplaying as Meer Campbell into the gallery. In fact I think the Yoko mask matches the Meer Campbell look so much, I think I'll refurbish it and call it the Meer mask later on~ hehe...
The new gallery is part of the Meer Campbell gallery so don't say you can't find it now~^_^

Hmm, I will be making another mass purchase of the high quality bodysuit soon. The suit which arrived for me and Daza and Caugun are more than satisfactory. But in order to be certain of its quality, Daza will be doing some experiments to test if it is truly superior compared the the Japanese ones. After the confirmation, I'll be ordering a number of new suits for a couple of new masks buyers, for myself and friends and anyone else who wants a high quality zentai suit for kigurumi cosplay purposes. Please voice your interest if you want one, don't miss it again this time, I already have 3 confirmed orders so I will go ahead with it. Please take a look at the following thread to find out what is it about:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=512

I have also started refurbishing the Ignis mask, hopefully to make to further improve upon it so that it becomes sexier than ever, prettier than before~^_^ I spent my last few days stripping the paint off the headform and sanding it down. I found a new tool which might help me do the job faste, hopefully it works. I am kinda excited about this at the same time trying hard to find time to work on it more. I will be updating the mask project here:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=570

Last but not least, the classic C.C. (C2) and Ignis masks are still up for sale, the Yoko mask has been sold, hopefully someone will buy the Ignis or C2 mask shortly too. The price is really good, I'm beginning to regret it now hehe... don't miss your chance now~^_^

The members gallery is now opened in the forums. Waiting for you to post all sorts of pictures that you find interesting. Your contribution is appreciated. Unless u are a high and dry lurker... come on down and join in^_^

Stay tuned for more updates~
