Neato! I'm up for Armin! I'm kinda shorter than his actual height which bugs me, but hopefully a growth sprout occurs, helping me reach at least 158cm or something.

By brunetteyes. 15/07/13, 06:21 pm

I'm so excited to see this group! Such a big group XD Maybe I'll actually remember to bring a camera for once and get some pictures.

By Seakittens. 19/07/13, 02:17 pm

Could I please join as Sasha? Also if you guys have any links to taobao costumes? Don't want to sew leather... haha.

By Hannah. 20/07/13, 12:36 pm

AS REQUESTED TAOBAO SnK LINKS

requires some digging but its the main page so more results than trying to search by character
snk taobao

ALSO make sure to read the evaluation section on cosplays, people are able to upload photos now as well so good idea to check for those.
Taobao rating system goes from 1 hearts- 5 crowns with crowns being the highest

Scratch that, I probably won't be going on Sunday now due to some already planned family stuff. So I won't be going as Armin. Sorry for the trouble!

I'm about 1000% sure we need to get someone in a Colossal Titan bodysuit for this

t.t i'd love to join this group as Armin or Mikasa or Hanji or Sasha but I know i wont have enough time this year with uni. Maybe shoots sometime next year?

I found this picture of Armin and I had to share it because I laughed so hard Razz

By Seakittens. 28/07/13, 09:43 am

do you guys think it would be overly noticable if I got a taobao costume for this where the jacket isn't leather?
Looking at this one:

@seakittens I'm using a cotton ducking for my jacket! I'm going for a more real life practical rather than anime accuracy :3

Oh sweet! We can match to some extent Very Happy

Also gonna make a stuffed potato to hold and eat during the day!

Hello!
Sorry for the change, but Mikasaah was wondering if she could be put down for Hanji now instead of Historia?
I'm still going as Sasha, looking forwards to it! 8)

By slinky. 28/07/13, 03:05 pm

@brunetteyes- yES SHOOT WITH US

@Seakittens- and I wouldn't worry too much about it, pretty sure most of us will have different materials/different shades of browns etc o/

By Rolly. 29/07/13, 05:23 pm

One thing that puzzles me is that, is the jacket made out of leather, or plain drill/some durable fabric? Because I'm not sure if it's the artstyle that makes it look like leather, but if it was leather I thought since that they have limited land to farm animals wouldn't it be like super expensive/hard to get/limited supply...?
It would make more sense for it to be made out of cotton since you can plant more cotton plants in the same space compared to cows, if resources were scarce? Or am I simply overthinking things? xD

By slinky. 29/07/13, 06:42 pm

Realistically, the jackets would be made from stiff cotton or cargo, the type of fabrics you see our military or other officers wear in NZ. In the Titan world no way would they have the kind of resources to mass produce leather jackets that end up being destroyed in battle anyway.

Tho I ended up with pleather for the nice texture, it's really comfty to wear and the way it stands out in photos. It has a nice matte shine that the light picks up that you don't really get with cottens.

However it's TOTALLY UP TO YOU. If you choose fabrics based on how realistic you wanna be, how close to canon colour it is, or just cus it's cheaper, just go for it~

HEY GUYS SORRY TO DO THIS TO ANY FANS OF MARCO but I am going to be Armin now!
