I don't want to jinx it, but...

Progress.

I didn't think I'd be updating this much. However, I'm tired, and I'm (= the costume is) making more progress than I thought I would be. I'm going to sleep soon, but I think I originally sat down to let my knees rest; they don't seem to like all the crouching/staying up late/sitting on the floor/running around so soon after not being used at all for a week. I also encountered some problems, involving

having to wash those to get the chalk off.

Anyway. I'm still far from done with it. I already made cuts and left out parts that weren't all that essential, but I still have a lot to sew. Even draw. That's not fun, it takes me ages to get patterns and stuff right. Not to mention I haven't even cut all the parts out yet, though that's more me Not Getting Patterns than being lazy.

Example.

... but yeah. Point is, the progress is there. And I didn't mention what the cosplay was, did I? Unfortunately for me, you can see it in the picture. So here we go: Lelouch vi Britannia, the 99th Emperor, planned.... ever since I met ttuw, pretty much.

As seen in Mutuality, the Code Geass artbook by CLAMP.

We even had most of the fabric ready a while ago, but then inspiration happened and we added other cosplays to the list. Since the deadline for this was Tracon V, the other cosplays came first. Not to mention finding that golden fabric was near impossible. And it doesn't even fit 100% either. Guh. Well, could be worse.

Still, I'm off to bed for now. I might babble a little more about this cosplay later on, but now... no time. So, good night~
