This is all an illusion.
But there is truth within illusions.
And when the illusion fades,
the truth will still resonate within you.

it is going to take a looong looong while to do this because it's so hard to find reference pictures!! grr. thank goodness i have a borrowed saved data from maomao... and managed to screenshot my psp. wahhhahaa.
and gosh, does this person even have a name (yes it's named maomao for now, but oh well)?
here's some full views

phew? by the way that cat bouncing around is pretty strong. it helped me kill off some t-rexes while i was screenshooting. not bad. although i did faint once or twice from stupidly moving to the poisoned waters.
do unto others what you want others to do unto you.
that's why i'm getting my retribution now, in a tenfold amount.
maybe before i start hating them for it, i should hate myself first.
I HATE MYSELF.

i like the folders method, so i 'upgraded' my ginshu scales. taken with flash so looks quite horrible. bleahs.

either my msn has a problem or.. it's just really cranky today.
i'm talking to judas and i get rina's information. this is very strange.
oerba yunfang (ff13) shopping list
golden cloth: 2m*$2/m = $4 blue cloth: 3m*$2/m = $6 silver cloth: $2/m *2m = $4 (realised this is the exact same one i used for my undertaker's shawl. hoho. it's called crestion or crespon or whatever... shit i asked the uncle and i forgot) royal blue ribbons: $2.80/roll buckles for boots: $0.30/pc * 6pcs = $1.80 buckles for belt: $1/pc *4pcs = $4 leather cloth: $11/m * 2m = $22 wig: $30.73 blue tape: $1.50/roll fox fur: $28.47/4pcs blue crystals: $3.80/12pcs green rectangular pieces: $7 for 2 lengths crystal drops: $3 for 1 blue and 1 white piece diamante beads: $2.50
i swear, this embroidery is my most painful experience ever.
1) tracing from the computer onto a clear transparency (actually used my leftover folders... easier to cut!)
2) cutting out the stencil
3) cutting the cloth and seaming the edges (so they won't dethread when you are embroidering ya?
4) stenciling onto the cloth
5) cutting the backing and sewing the backing on
6) embroidering... and it takes about 15mins to complete one part of the pattern. looks the same as if it wasn't embroidered. ughhh i have to convince my self the results will be good.
i'm in 4 of them, can you guess? thanks to nicol for the news.

since there's no news from our leader... we have to fa fen tu qiang ourselves. good thing i'm so self-motivated.
used those foolscap board for the base, wrapped satin and the bishop cloth. effect not so good since the surface is very ruffled.
decided to do another one using a white paper bag i found and wrapped bishop cloth over it. ironed the cloth before i wrap. not so bad!
i'm getting infected by val's uhu glue sickness. this is wholly uhu glue. cut the shape from some paper, wrapped cloth around it and uhu-glued it onto my turtleneck. wanted to stitch it on... but it seems to look better without the stitches!!! well i might consider stitching it just to prevent the paper inside from disintegrating later on after wash...

put on the carvings for kurobara's pincer weapon too.
clay keeps cracking like crazy. painted it silver, then white, then mixed with silver again. also repainted the body a darker color.
yes finally started on castor! eventhough i'm not even sure if i should wait for the main one from frank to be done... but i think i won't make it in time if i keep waiting anyway. so just started it and maybe make amends later on. haha.
the robes all look supersize now, but when it's worn, the drapes fall down and it actually looks not so bad.
the inner cloak template
when joined together
shoulder pad template
join along the 2 parts as shown...
there you have it!
joined to another cloak for the top part
sticking the straps together (using velcro for easier detachment later on)
managed to color the foam that was cut like 2weeks ago. was hoping for a brighter silver at the edge, but must be my phone - it looks so dull.
oh well, wouldn't have been able to get this prototype out without maomao's help (",) thank youuuuu! i can only sand the edges T.T
gonna put the carvings on this week.
grrr i realised i got my feather colors reversed so i had to detach all of them and piece together again for the correct color. thank goodness uhu glue is easier to remove (tears off cleanly from plastic), so not much trouble there.
(picked the shinwoo one cos it's HD and he's just so sweet *_*)

i thought my emily is too big, so i made a smaller one.
the head is like 1/4 the existing one. it's damn cute. i think i'll hang it on my bag, and offer the bigger one for adoption. hahaha.
need to cut some wig for her. hmm. actually i tried to take some pictures with both of them, and it seems that the bigger one looks better in photos. the small one is barely visible.
