GameStart Asia 2015

Second post for November! ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／ Today's post will be on GameStart Asia 2015 which I attended on November 15th, Sunday. And yes this post is written like a day before I head down to AFASG. ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

I didn't know this gaming convention existed until I saw its page recommendation on Facebook, and I went to look it up. It apparently started last year and this year is the second time it's held in Singapore. I enjoy playing video games but I'm not into many of the games people are crazy about nowadays lol. I used to play tons of PC video games a few years ago but then after I bought a Macbook and spent more time online, I slowly stopped playing video games. XD But since I've gotten my self a game console, I'm baaacccckkkk (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

This post isn't as photo-heavy as others thankfully 8'D

Funan Anime Matsuri 2015

Hello, it's me again~ June this year is just full of anime events and that means I'm going to be broke this month (like I'm not already broke in the first place) _(:3 」∠)_

Yesterday I went to Funan Anime Matsuri 2015 (8-14 June) held at Funan Digitalife Mall. I wanted to go earlier in the week but I was busy... But I managed to make some time to attend it ;v; I was mainly attracted to the promotion - Touken Ranbu official merchandise on discount! LOL *shot*

Costest: Nine (Zankyou no Terror)

Hehe so I finally did a costest after so long! I used the new products I bought yesterday and I'm glad to say that I'm satisfied with them. The only thing was that I didn't expect the tip of the gel liner to break off so easily LOL so I ended up having to line my eye using the leftover stump XDD
The Essence BB Cream is pretty good, but my only complaint is that it's kind of stinky (.-.) I still prefer Silkygirl's Magic BB Cream, plus it has a pleasant fragrance X3

I'm costesting Nine from Zankyou no Terror by the way. I'm still not good with the eyeliner so the only thing I'm not satisfied with for this costest are the eyes...cursing the unsteady hand and bad vision (ToT) But I'm really happy that I managed to pull off a guyish makeup! I do think I look quite ikemen LOLOL *slapped*

New cosplay makeup supplies~

As a personal rule, I don't wear makeup (with the exception of BB Cream because heck everybody loves them too). But because I do cosplay, I have to put it on XD So I went shopping for more makeup supplies for cosplay today~ I'll be sharing on the products I bought in this post :3

This is not a product review by the way, because I haven't tried any of them on yet.

Shingeki no Kyojin cosplay test run 02: Hanji Zoe

Harness test run 02. This time it took an hour less to put on the harness as compared to yesterday (3 hours (ಥ□ಥ)). Added velcro on all loose areas, and tried another way to put the harness together into place. Still finding a suitable area to pin the waist apron though…

Shingeki no Kyojin cosplay test run 01: Hanji Zoe

My Hanji cosplay costume was delivered to me last night so I went to do my first test run after school this afternoon.

First of all, I wanna say that SnK cosplays are one of the toughest cosplays I've ever attempted (besides the fact that this is only my second fan character cosplay; my other cosplays have always been original characters).

What made me nearly puke blood were the 3DMG harnesses. My costume was commissioned (except for the pants) hence I didn't really know how I was supposed to put on the harnesses. I referred to a lot of tutorials from fellow cosplayers (videos, photos and sketches) but for some reason I just couldn't imagine how the belts would criss-cross over the legs and stuff like that (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ So basically I had trouble with almost everything waist-down onwards.

I spent nearly 3 hours trying to figure out the harnesses (majority waist-down) and in the end I asked my mum for help. After carefully studying all the different tutorials, she sat down and fixed everything. EVERYTHING. MUM IS A MIRACLE HOLY FRICK HOW I DON'T UNDERSTAND щ(ಥДಥщ)

Anyway here are some photos of the test run. There's still A LOT of fixing to do, like tightening the belts, adding velcro strips so the thigh belts won't slip off easily, etc. (P.S. I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE my boots!! 8D)

CON IS A MERE 2 WEEKS AWAY AND THERE'S STILL SCHOOL AND SHIET URGH (＃ﾟДﾟ)ニャー！！

Torso (I don't know what else to call this angle ;;;)

Full body (Sorry for the wrong attempt at the salute OTL||||||)

I didn't wear the full costume (shirt and jacket) because the uniforms in SnK do not comply to the weather in my country (basically you'd just melt if you wear them in non-air conditioned places lol)

I have no idea how to put on the waist apron either so I just pinned it to my pants underneath the harness >_< On my second test run I think I'll try putting on the waist belt without going through the belt loops? Cos I don't see the belt loops on most cosplayers... On a second thought, the waist belt may just slip down while I'm walking LOL XD
