The body is finished
Oh how cardboard is amazing....
i'm really learning as i go. mu uncle came by to fix my dad's computer and saw it, and gave me some really encouraging words. my flaws though. i used too many strips to create it. i can totally see how it messed things up, but it's going great so far considering this is like, the very very ultra super very first time i've ever worked with costuming. now, i'm working on the shoulders, and using one clean chunk to make it, which it looks way better than just a scappy messiness-ish-esque thing. i'm more eager to fiberglass everything though, which i still haven't learned....the time will come soon. it's almost scary that now i registered, i have a deadline and it's freakin' me oot. O_O

speaking of which, i finished my first entry for the sakura con mascot contest. i really want to post it, but that would get me DIS UH QUAL I FYYYEEEDDDD. all i can say is that it's a cute girl, like every other entry that one...but with a twist. no it's not a guy as a girl....really?
anyway, it's done in colored pencil so i'm going to have to edit it on the gimp or fireworks for it to look a professional as possible. the deadline is feb 28th, so i have sometime to fix it before the very LAST minute 8P

wish me luck, on both the costume and such. i'm trying to get my hopes up.....
