I just played a really awesome game called "Con."  It's basic priciple is to compete for making con friends.  You gain friends by playing various cards with different points ecte ect.  Anyways it has load of funny con related experiences.  The maker of the game has a second deck mostly created but needs some funds to get them printed.  Below is a link to his kick starter.  Check it out and donate what you can.  25$ will get you the second car deck, but if you can't do that even a dollar will help.  Thanks!

First off you should be aiming for 1/2 shades darker than the wig color.  Eyebrows are naturally a little darker.

There are a few methods I've heard of and used.

Method number 1:  Simply find a pencil that matches the wig.  This will leave a lot of your own eyebrow color mixed in with the pencil color.  So if your going for a drastic change it won't work too well.  If you are trying to move from brown eye brows to a dark blue, it should work great.

We previously covered how to pick a cosplay.  The basic idea was passion.

I would like to emphasize details today.  The difference between a costume and an amazing cosplay is the accuracy in which it is executed.

Once you have chosen a cosplay, and have the means to do it.  It's time to start thinking!  Yup, you need to get out the old noggin and give it a work out.  Picking out details can take practice.  There are many subtleties often missed in cosplay.

Details you are looking for are:

The main pieces: jackets, shirts, pants, skirt, dress, shoes, hair, jewelry, weapon

The problem: The people in charge of Arist alley at a con in Canada, want to give out tickets to buy art.  They will then take 20% of the sales from a particular artist.

This is a crime!  If this happened to the dealers room they would all ban together and not go to that con.  Artist are already selling their art way cheaper than it would be since con goers don't have a lot of cash to start with.

Really what needs to happen is to be some sort of unofficial union among the artist.  They are paying for the table, that is the fee for selling there.  But the problem is that the artist won't ban ]]> http://gbright1.deviantart.com/journal/Katsucon-report-233446990 http://gbright1.deviantart.com/journal/Katsucon-report-233446990 Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:18:14 PST Katsucon report nonadult journals/personal gbright1 http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/g/b/gbright1.png?15 Copyright 2009-2013 *gbright1
