Here's Vash with his gang of Pokemon. That makes all four of the main characters, and this little series is complete! Yay!
I've also finished my stun gun. Remember how I was putting paper mache on the whole thing? It took longer than I thought it would, because when I put the paper mache on, I had to leave some parts of it dry, so it could sit on that part while the rest was drying, so I had to break it up into parts and do a part a day. (And also because I procrastinated some. But you didn't hear me say that. Sh!)
When I hit crunch time, though, I couldn't afford to do it in parts, and ended up with wet areas all over the place. I got a little creative trying to figure out how to let it dry.
Then I painted it, which went much faster than I expected (and waaaay faster than painting styrofoam goes), and so, finally, I had this.
Which is pretty much how it looked before, just with a different surface texture. I took it to Naka-kon this weekend and I'm very pleased to announce that this is the first con which I didn't have to do any repair work afterward. It got a little bumped and scraped, but nothing is loose and no paint came off. Woohoo!
Naka-kon was a lot of fun. (Of course!) I think I had fallen into a rut before hand, in which nothing existed in the universe except for my job and the internet. It was nice to have a reminder that there's a whole world out there with fun stuff to do and awesome people, and that those things make me happier than the internet does.
I won't post pictures on here, since they're already on facebook, but I will share one since I likely won't post it anywhere else. I met one of Trigun's villains, Legato, and he suggested we take a picture of me shooting him. Except I tried to kind of scowl at him and just ended up laughing.
(This guy was one of the highlights of the con for me. Not only was I really excited to see someone cosplay Legato, but he was a super nice guy. He caught sight of me the day before and told me he would be Legato on the next day, so "you should come find me and shoot me." I told him his costume was fantastic and he said, "Thanks! It makes me feel pretty. I think it's the hair.")
Okay, that's everything! Peace out!
