GC Cosplay Group (Singapore)

[Yin]

This thread is to house a cosplay group specifically for events in Singapore. I'm going to make this super clear: unless you're willing to hop onto a plane for an event located in Singapore in South East Asia, you're not going to be able to cosplay with us. However, it'd be great if advice were offered about costumes or props. No need to restrict people from helping and enjoying the process, after all.

Note: while there *is* a forum where most of the Singaporean cosplay community gather (and a number from neighbouring countries as well), there is a high chance that it's not going to be around in January due to costs and commitment problems from the admin. Many cosplayers there are also already committed to groups for events for this (in any case, I think the time would be too short to complete the costumes) and the next year. So I'm coming here first.

(EDIT)Mirror thread at SGCafe(/EDIT)

Miri and friends did what was probably the first cosplays of GC here. Example for the rest of us

Events in Singapore for 2010 (allowing for time to get costumes together, thus leaving out the first half of the year):
-Cosfest IX (July 3-4)
-Singapore Toys, Games and Comics Convention (apparently December)
-Games Convention Asia (September, dates unconfirmed)
-Anime Festival Asia (November... however, I put this here for the sake of completeness, and will remove it if I feel need to. It's an *anime* event after all.)
-End Of Year 2010 (December, date unconfirmed)

Participating:
Yin

Pepoluan

-event: Cosfest IX (removed til further notice)

Fumiyo Matsuki (SGCafe forum member)
-character: Annie (uniform version)
-event: Cosfest IX, photoshoot

Suggested characters to cosplay, plus pic refs (I have almost certainly missed out on some good ones- tell me!):
- Annie (but of course!)
1) uniform TAKEN!
2) child
3)jumpsuit (or you could go the black and white route)
4)trenchcoat

-Kat
1) uniform
2) jumpsuit
3)trenchcoat

-Eglamore
1)dragonslayer garb front and back

-Zimmy and Gamma
1) uniform

-Reynardine
1) toy

-Fairy
1) Red/Blue (original bodies)
2) Regionals

- Muut

-Jeanne
1)ghost
2)portrait. Since Jeanne is shown only from chest up, I think there are two ways to go: basically making up the rest of the costume, which I’m kinda iffy about, or the funny way, complete with frame.

-Dr Disaster

Another possible costume for Annie and Kat: the trenchcoat

Cosfest allows electric scooters?

I'm buying me a fake baldhead

[Yin]

Not sure about electric scooters... it's a big tent, and the area outside is maybe slightly bigger than a basketball court. This year's Cosfest attracted a *lot* of people, though- I heard around 10,000 on day 2. Maybe just for posing, not using?

[Yin]

So! AFA '09 is coming up next weekend and if anyone wants to find me, I'll be the Benio Amakusa cosplayer on at least one day. Both days you can look out for the facesticks, or ask around.

[Yin]

Reminder: AFA is tomorrow and if you would like to meet me, I'll be cosplaying Benibara from Ouran High School Host Club. Just come right up and tell me that you know me from Gunnerkrigg Court, if you're going.

[Yin]

\o/ we have a new member!

[callingctulhu]

Yo, guys! I actually live in Singapore, though I don't cosplay. I do go to the big toy con (Unfortunately still months away), though. With any luck, I'll spot you guys!

[Yin]

Awesome! Fumiyo and I will be at SOY although we won't be cosplaying Jones and Annie yet.

[gunstreetgirl]

I live in Singapore, although I don't think I can participate in this, I have plans for Cosfest (which hopefully will succeed). I'll keep a lookout for you guys though!

Were you at EOY?

OH WAIT I JUST REALISED. You were the person who posted in my photo request thread! Hello! I was the reindeer accompanying the skeleton-person!

[Yin]

ROFL. I was like, 'why does thy username look familiar?' and then I read thy post. Hee! I'll see thee at SOY =)

[Yin]

Cosfest is this weekend! Woohoo!

Fumi and I will be cosplaying as Annie and Jones respectively on Saturday. We will both be there on Sunday too, but she will be cosplaying another character and I will not be cosplaying.

I wanna meet more Singaporean/South-East Asian GKC fans, so if you're coming to Cosfest, keep an eye out for us, say "Boxbot is terrible" to Jones (me), and get a cookie! (And no, you don't have to have any right theories about the Court. Cookies are for cookies' sake, not rewarding a correct theory. I'm looking at you, overdebaters.)

[whosit]

I think I'm going to cry.

[whosit]

Okay, not really. I still wish I could teleport to Singapore, though.

[Yin]

Ack! Don't cry! D8

[whosit]

Well, if it's that important to you, okay.

[Yin]

Augh. Fumi can no longer cosplay on Saturday because she can't come, which means no Annie (Sunday is reserved, as I said, for another character, which she is cosplaying in a different group). So it's just Jones.

[Casey]

You'd better get pictures of both of you anyway... even if it's not at the cosfest. We want to see the outfits.

[Yin]

Photoshoot's in September, that being about the only time Fumi and I and our photographer are free all together (weekends are iffy). I'll post photos of Jones next week. I'm not sure whether Fumi has taken photos of her full outfit, but she has taken some headshots of herself, so I'll see about that.

[Miri]

Cannot believe I hadn't seen this thread yet...I'm really looking forward to seeing these!

[Ulysses]

Spider-Jack would be so much fun to cosplay. Next chance I get, I'm cosplaying Jack.

Yes, we need photos! Do you need a specific photographer? Can't you put pictures up nooooooow?

[Yin]

Noooo... because I don't wanna =p Don't worry, there are at least a hundred photogs at Cosfest (I'm underestimating- last year's turnout was 10000 people for the decond day). They all congregate at one forum so I can find pictures easy.

[whosit]

"Photog" makes me think of the unloved child of a pig and an accordion camera.

[whosit]

Is anyone doing Renard? If someone uses the stuffed-biped form, I hope they include inflatable muscles in the suit, so they can 'shape-shift,' ala 'Adonis in Stitches.'

[Yin]

Was disappointed to find that no one asked for cookies. Was distracted enough by other things to forget to get a proper picture of myself. Apologies, but this weekend has been unfairly depressing for reasons unrelated to GKC or cosplay. Will find a picture eventually.

[whosit]

My condolences. Hope things improve.
