At last another CMV Klapollo!! Just in time for the Holidays!~

If you're like me and are a hardcore yaoi fangirl...then this is for you! Consider it an early Christmas present...if you celebrate Christmas, if not, it's just another random act of yaoi kindness! Here is a cosplay tribute to my favorite Ace Attorney couple! Klavier Gavin and Apollo Justice! Not much else to say here so enjoy and please leave a comment if you enjoyed it, it spurs me on to make more videos like this one!

Ace Attorney Cross Stitch Pattern SPAM!

It's no secret that I've been obsessed with Ace Attorney lately, and now that I'm back from Nebraskon and have had some time to relax, I was able to make up a few cross stitch patterns!!! All of which are from the Ace Attorney Series! I don't have my own laptop right now, so I wasn't able to do anything spectacular like character busts....although Edgeworth is calling my name~~~~~ I did however manage to make some key symbols from the series that I am so eager to start sewing myself!!!!

So, to start these off, here's the symbol representing my favorite Ace Attorney Character!!! Klavier Gavin's pendant! I figure the nice cool grey will look stunning against a black fabric!

Next up is the Gyaxa Space Center Logo from Dual Destinies! I just recently started playing this case, and I thought it would make a nice little pillow or something.

Third is the Mood Matrix symbol, representing Athena Cykes, from Dual Destinies as well. It was simple and cute!

And finally representing Ace Attorney Investigations! We have the symbol of the three legged raven, The Yatagarasu!

Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments down below, and be sure to let me know if you stitch them yourselves!!!!!!!!

Back From Nebraskon 2015!

Well that was a whirlwind of a weekend! I was on the phone near constantly with Logan who was missing the con due to basic training, and we were going here, there, and everywhere! Some of the highlights of our weekend, was Ami meeting the Nostalgia Critic!!!

As well as our Ace Attorney pair meeting another Gavin, a Clay Terran (Ami was thrilled!) an Ema Skye, and a Phoenix Wright!

The BEST part of the weekend, was our Skit getting Second place in the cosplay contest!!

A lot of people loved our Squall and Cloud! And our Mom's plague Doctor was a hit! It even won our local Hancock Fabric's Halloween contest!

Sorry if this post seems really random and off the wall, I'm still all keyed up from the con and super excited to get back to my sewing machine!! Until Next time! Happy sewing/crafting/cosplaying/life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long Time no see! Ace Attorney Cosplay and more!

So...I've been....busy...... Ami and I attended another mini-convention about 5 days ago, as Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice! We originally weren't intending to go, despite being invited much earlier in the year (a little after the last con), but while I was chatting away with a friend around 1am a month before the gathering, she convinced my tired brain to say yes, and a lot of complaining from Ami ensued... So, I promised her I'd make both costumes and all she'd have to do is drive, I procrastinated a lot with Apollo, but got him done fairly quickly...when I was actually working on him, in actual hours making him, he only took a couple days, in reality I sort of spaced him out over 2 1/2 weeks...so Klavier was a mad dash to get done, and I spent nearly 3 days straight on him haha....I may now have a very strong aversion to lined jackets.................................... Anyway We did really well with them and had a lot of fun, despite Logan not being around due to basic...It was really hard to work on them without him, I'm used to his constant pestering/motivating me to get things done, so it was kind of sad and lonely...but I persevered and they turned out amazing!

So, if you like Ace Attorney, Without further ado here's Ami as Apollo Justice, and myself as Klavier Gavin!
This first pic is us at the con :)

Here we have some shots from our own personal photoshoot!

And for any Klapollo shippers (KlavierXApollo love) here's a special pic!~

Ami and I are also currently working on a CMV (cosplay music video) to the song Camera Shy with these two characters, To follow that's progress, my cosplay in general, and any other WIP stuff, check out our cosplay page at : https://www.facebook.com/konspiracycoslay :

So it's been a while! (Ramblings, Akua Con and Rave Master Cosplay!)

So I haven't posted in like FOREVER!!! I don't even remember what the last thing I talked about was....but anyway Akua Con was last weekend, and it was a blast! We got our groups outfits done just in time! Logan's Haru wig could have been better, but the rest of his outfit Rocked! And Ami's Elie was Stunning and Sexy!~ My Musica was So-So, but the extending Spear shocked the judges. Cameron also did a Dark Link that was phenomenal. All four of us got prizes in the cosplay contest to boot. So Here is a large group pic of some of us cosplayers! From Left to Right is Cameron's Dark Link, A Fem Link, our friend Rachel in her Kimono Squirtle Gijinka, A Werewolf Red Riding Hood, myself as Musica, Ami as Elie, and Logan as Haru!

And Here are some excellent shots of Cameron as Dark Link, and Ami as Elie

Don't they just look amazing!?

Anyway I haven't had a lot of time for art and such, but that's due to work and my newest obsession! ACE ATTORNEY GAMES!!!!!!!! I've been playing Apollo Justice nonstop for a while now, and Klavier Gavin has stolen my soul..................................... How can he be so amazingly sweet and annoy me so much at the same time?! Lesson learned, if I'm swearing at 3AM, Blame the Prosecution. I also dyed my hair a new color yesterday. I'm a redhead now and I am loving it! It reminds me of my Reno wig, such a lovely reddish maroon blend <3

That's about all I have to say, sorry for the boring post and random ramblings. Until next time <3

Some sad news, another con, and musings

With the end of Logan's High school career fast approaching, and college looming over him, our groups prop master has decided to enter the National Guard. While Ami and I are totally supportive of it, (we're having lots of fun imagining him with a buzz cut!), he'll be in basic training during Nebraskon 2015. That means we had to rework our cosplay lineup, one that we'd had planned for nearly a year. We're putting off his Genesis cosplay and Ami's Cloud, in favor of her being the Laguna to my Squall and having our mom play Irvine. That way I can be Zack for 2016 with Cloud and Genesis. We think that should work out.

On the bright side, we got invited to another Mini-con that is just before he enters Basic!! So, we got together and decided we should do something simple and Nostalgic for all three of us. One that'd be fun and make some good memories for him to hold onto during basic training. We went with Hiro Mashima's Rave Master! If you've been reading this blog since the start, then you'll know for a long time I was in love with Musica from Rave Master, so my cosplay was a natural choice. There was no arguing over who was Haru, Logan got his first choice, I got mine as Musica, and Ami squealed at the thought of making Elie and her Tonfa blasters! I even hand stitched a Plue plushie

The con is on June 27th in Watertown South Dakota. If you're in the area, look up Akuacon on Facebook and see if you can come on out!


I've recently started playing FFXII on the ps2, and I think I may be making a few patterns based on that. I went through Dork Stitch's pattern selection, hoping she'd already covered some of the main party, but sadly she hasn't, and there are barely any other patterns out there (aside from Ashe, whom I rather dislike). I would have loved to perler Balthier and Vaan, as they are some of the most fun FF characters I've encountered in a long time. I'm surprised the game has such negative reviews online when I find it to be so much fun! I'm even on the lookout for the spin off Revenant wings for Nintendo DS. I really like the gambit system, which seems to be the main complaint most people have. If they don't like it, you can turn it off, so just do that!

I also bought a psp from Last Stop CD shop the other day along with Kindom Hearts Birth By Sleep, and FFVII Crisis Core. While I still need a memory stick, I've been replaying Terra's Story in BBS and I may finally get around to making that Ventus pattern! I just need a computer that I can call my own! (yep, still using Ami's...still to broke to buy a new one). I am a little stuck in FFXII if any one can help me, I'm fighting the Demon Wall in King Raithwall's Tomb...and it's kicking my ass! Any help will be appreciated, I believe my party's average level is about 16, and everyone but Fran has a staff that deals about 30 damage. Fran has a bow that does about the same. I have a quickening for everyone but Vaan, and Fran, Basch, Ashe, and Penelo have 2-3 quickenings unlocked....I'm not sure what all spells Fran has but its a lot, and everyone has a cure spell but Penelo. They're wearing Chain armor or strong anti magic armor. That's all I can remember about their stats off the top of my head, any help at all is welcome! And if you just wanna talk about the game or the characters or anything else I've mentioned above just leave me a comment!

Love ya~

Typical Sewing WIP, cosplay, and art dump, plus heads up on upcoming Anime Review!

So, I've gotten more done on Jack, and seeing as how its 2 AM and I can't sleep, I'm posting here instead of agonizing over my 6 hour shift tomorrow that I'm sure to be exhausted during! So here I am to bore you all to death!

As you can see, I've got his hair and goggles blocked out. I'm thinking I'll do some color stitches to alleviate the boredom of doing so much black.

So, Ami and I really love this fanart, of Sora and Riku from KH2 where Riku crowns Sora, and after being inspired by it, we went out and did a photo-shoot today with Crowns, Paopu Fruit, and Sea Salt Ice cream (blue-raspberry Popsicle). I'm gonna spam those here. the first one is the shot inspired by the fanart, the second is a kiss behind a paopu fruit, and the third is us sharing Ice Cream.

This last pic is my absolute favorite pic of us so far! I love how cute and in character it is for Riku to be stealing some of Sora's Ice Cream!

And Lastly here's an art spam for an ADORABLE new addiction of mine. The Anime is called Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! If you've heard of it, you've probably scoffed and thought it's a fucking ridiculous concept, and you're right, and if you haven't then I'll tell you, It's basically sarcastic Sailor Moon with an all guys cast! After the Finale next week, I'll be doing an Anime review! But I absolutely love it, I swear I go into withdrawal as soon as each episode ends, and I don't know how I'm gonna survive without it when it's over! But for now here's a pair of fanarts of my favorite character, Ryuu Zaou, AKA Battle Lover VESTA!~ The first is a plain watercolor scan, and the second one is after I rendered and added a digital background. I really like how it turned out, considering Ryuu's element is fire!

Now that I've bored you half to death with my pointless, and tired update, I'll just remind you that you can find and watch me on Deviantart if you like my drawings and cosplay by copy-pasting this link (http://kakashi-copycat-kun.deviantart.com/) or searching my screenname, and say happy stitching/painting/whatever you're into...I'm gonna sew some more and watch cute boys transform into magical boys!

Our Torii Con adventure, and More Sewing WIP

Torii-con was about two weeks ago, and we had an amazing yet miserable time. Let me explain haha. The night before, we were rushing to get Darkar completed, so Logan stayed the night, and we decided to sleep in our basement workshop...None of us really slept that night, so at about 5:30, we got up and made breakfast, we were packed and out the door by 7. We made it to Vermillion at about 9 and the con didn't start until 10. Ami and I were partially in our cosplays to save time, and Logan and Dylan still needed to change, so we decided to hurry up and find the convention center, which was easier said than done. We were lost for around 45 minutes, but finally made it. Dylan rushed to the ladies room to get changed into his costume (he was too shy to put on a skirt in the mens), while I tried to cram Logan into his outfit the best I could. Ami couldn't really move much because she was afraid of making a slight run in her outfit we'd found the night before any worse. So I was working like a mad woman. It was while trying to get his cod piece on that we found our first problem...he made it too small (never leave these things entirely to Logan....) then his shins were too heavy and kept falling off, so we used some red ducttape to hold it all together and got signed up for the cosplay contest. Then I started on transforming Dylan into a lady, only to find he left his hand made shoes at home. So we sent a text to my dad and told him to bring the shoes and some ducttape. He said he'd be there at about noon. So, we headed up to the con area and started mingling and loafing around. Then Logan said his outfit was too heavy and he wanted to take it off...so he removed all of it but the under clothes and wandered around like that, however there was no rest for him, everyone wanted him to put it on for a picture, so it was off again and right back on again over and over, haha! We hung around and did some trivia, bought stuff and played video games. While we were eating lunch dad called and said he was there, so we met him out front and got the stuff...Eventually, it was about a half hour til our judging time slot, so we tried to cram Logan back into his outfit, which was falling apart worse still. So we taped it all together, and were convinced it looked crappy, but the judges were good friends of ours we'd met at Nebraskon a couple years back. They'd seen it when we first brought it in and said the Ducttape wouldn't count against us. After that, we got through the judging no problem and moved back to where we'd been loafing around to wait for the contest at 7. By then, Ami's custom shoes were digging into her feet and I had a blister forming on my left ankle. So we took our shoes off and sort of just read manga and waited while the boys went and entered some gaming tournaments. 7 rolled around and although 3/4ths of us were in slight pain, we ran on stage and gave it our best, then sat down to await the awards ceremony. After first and second place were awarded, and we won nothing each judge gave out an award for their favorite. The first judge gave hers to a marvelous cosplayer from a series I didn't recognize (her outfit was to die for though!!), and the second said, there was no way he could pick just one costume from our group, so he gave it to us all. We were ecstatic, and took a bow with our little trophy! Afterwards we all got changed into street clothes, and sang karaoke until the con was over. Then we all limped to the car exhausted but happy lol!

PICTURE TIME!

Here we have Ami as Tecna, Logan's Darkar, and my Musa

And here we have Logan's Darkar as a full body pic!

This picture shows off Dylan's cosplay along with the rest of us girls!

And Finally here's our Trophy!

Now that the cosplay talk is over for this post, I've been working on my Jack Spicer pattern some more! Not much to say though aside from the fact his arm is almost done. I'll keep at it and have more progress soon.

~Until Next Time

A picture I made...A story about my life (BORING)...possible fanfic-ness and Sewing WIP (bonus cosplay update)

Sewing and cosplay WIPs, and something I haven't done in FOREVER

Well, I've been not so diligently working on my Jack Spicer cross-stitch, and slowly but surely, he's taking shape. I have a little over a month until Torii con, so I don't really have a lot of time for fun (Oh the irony). He's looking like this, as I slowly stitch in the shading on his arm. Not a lot of progress since my last post, but some.

The thing that's eating most of my time is our cosplays. I have a massive amount of costume sewing to do, armor to make, and shoes to craft, however, Wigs are now done (or as done as I'm gonna fiddle with them.)

Ami's Tecna wig is the bright pink one pictured below, I'm wearing the unaltered version of my Musa wig.

Now my wig was a pain. I crafted the pigtails out of thin craft foam, cut the shapes out, covered them in layers of rubber cement, and wig fibers of the same color as my wig, and then hot glued them to the original but now much shorter pigtails of the wig. Inside of the wig, under the the net is a hairband with two wooden sticks on it, which are stuffed inside the pigtails to sort of make them stand up right, however one of them insists on tilting downward. All in all, though, it's kind of impressive!

The last thing I'm going to post about tonight, is a Jack Spicer tribute video I made! I used to make little videos like this all the time when I was in middle school, but I sort of fell out of it. A while back when I was working on my pattern of Jack, I was searching youtube for some inspiration, when I looked up "Jack Spicer I'm Still Here" because I thought the song from Treasure Planet would suit him just right, and that someone had to have made it already, however there wasn't one. So I made one! It was a lot of fun doing all the editing and searching for clips and audio bites! I really enjoy the finished product, and I hope you do too!

Finished Jack Pattern and WIP stitching! Also I dyed my hair!

I finally finished the pattern! So here is Jack Spicer in all his glory! I'm thinking about humoring Ami, in making patterns of Chase and Wuya to go with it.

I also started stitching him, though I just have the back pack and a little bit of his chest done so far.

The lighting in my room is pretty crappy, but as you can tell from the pic, my hair is not light brown any more, and now I have bangs! Ami dyed her hair this dark blue color, and I fell in love with it (it looks just like Musa from Winx Club) so I decided I'd do my hair the same color and got the same hair cut as Musa from late season 2-early season 3! I LOVE IT so much! Anyway short post is short, have a great day! I'm gonna get back to sewing!

Happy New Year, and more of a WIP pattern

Well it's about a quarter 'til 8AM here, and since I closed up shop at work around 1AM, I haven't been able to fall asleep. I've just been sitting here on Ami's laptop listening to music by Mindless Self Indulgence, and working on my Jack Spicer pattern. I'm honestly really tired and bored right now, but my body won't sleep. So, if you're a Spicer fan like me, how about I post the pattern so far, show off my rediculously slow progress, spam some videos of him being dorky, have a laugh, and then I'll end my post and go back to systematically putting little squares of color into a grid that will eventually be a massive portrait of a cartoon character that likely only I care about!

Anyway, here he is so far, I've managed to get most of his neck and coat done, some of the arm, and I even have some of his hair and face!!

Isn't he cute!! Anyway I'm gonna spam my favorite Jack spicer videos below. So if you love him, you'll enjoy, and if you don't have any clue who he is, you can sort of get an idea!

This first one is just a tribute to him that I fell in love with.


Next is some awesome Jack Spicer and Chase Young Moments! (I'll most likely do a Chase pattern at some point XD )


And just some Jack moments!


Now that my exhausted and probably boring fangirl rantings are over, I'm gonna get back to work. Have a FANTASTIC AND SPAZZTASTICAL NEW YEAR IN 2015!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
