It's so quiet...Sorry for the lack of activity here! I've been busy XD
It's been a bit of a mental start to 2013, with Jenn getting a new job, a bunch of birthdays and events, and a lack of money forever looming overhead!
I've mostly been busy working on my costume and kit for a new LARP system I'm joining next month, so when I have some good pictures of that, I'll share them here. It's not often I will share pictures of my original characters on deviantART (in fact, I don't think I've ever done it), but I'm really proud of the kit for this. A bunch of Parlé are all joining the same system, so hopefully we can get a few good shots before time in!
Here's a preview of the costume, for those interested...

On the con-front, things are less busy than usual, due to clashing events, and one or two that we usually attend for fun that we're opting out of this year. We did London Anime Con at the start of the month, which was a fantastic event. Still t

Catching Up!Sorry! I'm behind on checking my dA. I'm gonna try to catch up on my messages today

Special thanks in particular go out to Chelsea and Viola (of AskEllisIRL on Tumblr), Paige (of AskKeithIRL on Tumblr) and Gurlow, for being part of our L4D panel. It wouldn't have been half as good without you guys involved!

I've already posted this on my tumblr page, but we've received a fair few messages from people asking if they can send us gifts or cards for Christmas.

Erik and Charleshttp://flamboyantwreck.tumblr.com/post/27976868834/for-kelly-3-charles-confesses-his-problem-to
So I recently drew a little comic based on a conversation between Kelly and her mum. (http://okellyjaneo.tumblr.com/post/27824810055/the-spider-incident)
Now, I'm desperate for something else to draw.
The convo that Kelly posted was about 10 lines long -so I'm after something of a similar length!
If you have any stupid anecdotes or ideas for a scene between Erik and Charles please send them my way. If I like 'em - I'll draw 'em.

HAPPY HALLOWEENHere, have Stuck in Savannah Episode 9 to celebrate!

Stupid Maple SyrupI was quite happy being asleep. But no, some blood Canadian thought it would be best to phone me. Not to mention phone me while impersonating me. *twinfools is mental, I would like it to be known.
And what's worse? There's three of them in total, not just one, zooming down the road towards the house right now.
I told Kelly to take them back to the airport and leave them where she found them. She wouldn't listen to me.

Are you free this Saturday?http://entertainmentmediashow.com
If so, Kelly and I will be guests at London' Entertainment and Media show this coming Saturday.
We will be judging the cosplay competition, as well as holding panels on general cosplay and SFX makeup!
If you're around and would like to say hello - then I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to meet you guys! Please drop by!
Real guests include Matt 'The Doctor' Smith, the whole of the main Red Dwarf cast, Vic Mignogna, actors from Game of Thrones, and plenty more! Check out the website for a full guest list.

MCM October ExpoSo Kelly and I will be going to this. It was last minute call but we shall be there on both the Saturday and Sunday.
I'll be taking Magneto from First Class, Gambit from the X-Men and POSSIBLY (if I get him done in time) human Wheatley from Portal 2.

Who's going to this expo and what cosplay are you taking?

Due to a timewaster on the previous auction, I'm putting this up for sale again. I'm imposing a strict 72 hour payment requirement, so the winner MUST pay within three days of the auction ending. If you bid on the wig, but do not win, keep an eye on your inbox anyway. If the winner doesn't pay in time, I'll offer it to the next highest bidder, and so on, until a payment is made. Basically, even if you don't win, you may still be in with a chance

I'll also be putting my Org Coat, and some other bits, up soonish. I'll post links when that happens.
That's all for now. DFTBA!

I would really appreciate it...http://cosplayidol.otakuhouse.com/2012/07/north-america/witchiamwill-zora-link-from-legend-of-zelda
If you could go and vote for this cosplayer. I've seen this cosplay and it is stunning. Just flawless. She really does deserve the votes and I would appreciate it if you could take a moment to support her.

Selling Stuff and ThingsSo, in-between conventions, cosplays, life, and my car... I'm extremely low on pennies right now. Like, for the first time in a VERY long time, I actually consider myself broke this month, which NEVER happens to me anymore. So, I'm selling a bunch of my stuff.
I was going to put it up on eBay, but I figured I'd sell what I can here first, at fixed prices.
ALL SOLD
I'm keeping this journal here for my reference until all items have been paid and shipped

What's in a name?I'm making a prop for my new secret awesome cosplay. Obviously I can't tell you what the prop -IS- or it would give everything away.
I can tell you that it's going to be a boy. My props are usually female so I wanted a change.

I like how the journal tell you where to ask questions, yet people comment asking questions here anyway :L *facepalm*

~HgCrazyAlchemyKid Dec 5, 2012

Will you be coming to any conventions in Indiana, Illinois, or Michigan area? My friends and I would love to see you in person.

~Baby16Girl Dec 1, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

I was wondering, until a little while ago I honestly had no idea what Cosplay was. Thanks to you and your very addictive Demyx Time videos which I watched in 2 days straight.

I now know.

I was just wondering, could you perhaps give some details about Cosplay/ Comicon meetings in the UK and Ireland?

~demonkia77 Nov 27, 2012

Hello love all you videos and art. I wanted to know why did you stop making kingdom hearts stuff?

~MasonManiac Nov 23, 2012 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

<--- doesn't use tumblr and never plans to. Sad face.

~hirusen Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

Hey! So, I posted this on your Tumblr page -->(Hey, so I was just wondering (like everyone on your ask page) when did you and Jenn/Kelly (Whoever responds to this!) decide that you two were going to do cosplay? And I have another that i hope you can answer, which is how on earth do you put pictures into a video?! (I don't mean like a full picture, just like a thumbnail or something.)) and I'm not on Tumblr a lot, so if you could send me a link when you've answered my question, that would be super! (Or you could answer it with a comment, but either way!) Anyway, I love you guys and I hope you have a good Turkey-day!

~FullMetalAkiraStrife Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

If you would like to answer that would be cool...um, I was wondering is there ever a time that you and Kelly have disagreed on an idea for a cosplay or one of your sketches? If so than how did you guys make a compromise to the argument?

~KatJSleydon Nov 20, 2012

Thank you

~Chungphantomhive Nov 20, 2012

How old were you when you first started doing cosplay? How old were you when you knew you wanted to do this for the rest of your life?

~unnyuu96 Nov 20, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

.w.U what kind of progams do you use to edit your viedos?
