total newbie here :)

my name is jessica-marie and i've never had anything to do with cosplay before :) i was planning on going to armageddon in aux to watch the cosplay contest to see the costumes but then i was afraid. Neutral

so i didn't. but i'm moving to welly at the start of next year and i'm for definates not going to miss that one! :) maybe i'll even join in? but i get stage fright like woah.

i have a humungous interest in costume. like, it's collosal. i've just finished my diploma in fashion and design and i've always sewn since ever and next year i'm studying costume in welly.

i hope to be able to help out people with costumes and eventually commission myself out Very Happy

... if anyone wants me.

yay! i'm excited to get to know you guyssss :)

Nawh. Welcome.

No need to be afraid. We're a friendly bunch. You don't even have to jump straight into the contest I know I'm not for sure.

But again...WELCOME~ nodnod

Welcome~

check out the user groups to see if anythings happening in your area
also check out welly geddon thread to get an idea of what groups are already planned ^.^

By jessicamarie. 16/11/10, 04:29 am

hahah, okay :)

and what do you mean what groups are already planned? WHAT DOES THIS MEAN Very Happy

By Hannah. 16/11/10, 04:34 am

it means cosplay groups that have been planned for a certain fandom
eg- people who plan on cosplayer a pokemon character.

Usually people plan their outfits out in advance and organize groups so that people also cosplayer from that show/anime/manga/comic etc can meet up at event and discuss costumes beforehand

//long answer is long

By jessicamarie. 16/11/10, 04:38 am

long answer is good and informative..

i get confused. what fandoms? do people usually do? typically. generally.

Hey, welcome. Awesome study is awesome.

The major ones are anime, cartoons, games, tv series, movies & anything like that. It's really open though. C: Original characters are sometimes done, but I think it's now harder to enter them or next to impossible or something like that. I should really re-read the rules, haha.

Awesome websites-

The SPCC is based in Wellington and I think all of them are on here too. C:

^I think OCs are banned from contest now, unless they're from something like World of Warcraft where you have set designs that you just mix and match?

ANYWAY

Do it! Fable needs more cosplay love.

And yeah zelda is loveeed, but I haven't seen many cosplayers recently. If you do it though, it'd be awesome. 8D

By jessicamarie. 16/11/10, 01:20 pm

that looks amazing!!!! ahh makes me so excited when i see costumes. seriously!

i just wonder.. what is the point? like, why. like, cause you love it.. but what is the point? i think if i did make one.. for my first ever i'd make queen ambi. but then what!!

Heya JessicaMarie, welcome to the forums.

By any chance are you moving down to Wells to study costuming at Toi Whakaari? If so we'll be classmates next year! How exciting is that?
(Also Ocarina of Time is my all time favourite game ever. Eeeeee!

By jessicamarie. 16/11/10, 01:32 pm

OMFG SO EXCITING YES!! ARE YOU SYLVIA? and oot is splendid! i like mm toooo.. n64 dominated all these newer ones.

By acidpinkbunny. 16/11/10, 01:36 pm

YES O.O You know my name! Did we meet already? I lose track a bit Razz

And yeah n64 games were Zelda prime. Better than NES because of the 3dness but better than Gamecube because of.. well the crappiness Razz

I have the oot rerelease on gamecube actually, which is rather awesome.

WELCOME TO CNZ~ xD

By jessicamarie. 16/11/10, 01:40 pm

nooo! hahah, but in my interview when i said i wanted to eventually commission myself out to make cosplay costumes and if they knew what that was, they were like "an earlier girl called sylvia told us about that so yes now we do!"

and then i always wondered if you got in tooooo. Very Happy

i only spoke to one or two girls on the day.. what were you wearing? Razz

this is so weird Very Happy

and i have it on the computer.. oh i'm so happy now Very Happy

By acidpinkbunny. 16/11/10, 02:08 pm

haha oh that's insane! I actually wasn't there on the day Razz

The reason I wasn't there on the day was because I was up at Auckgeddon cosplaying. Hah!
But you might have talked to Laura on the day? She's sort of gothy and has quite big hair.. She got in too. And her friend who I don't know so well did as well. So I'm really excited. It's going to be a cool class of people.
