So here I am, being more Chinese than usual, cosplaying a character from a China mobile MOBA and whatnot.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">安琪拉 is my favourite hero from 王者荣耀. When I first started playing the game, I had no idea who to pick and didn't notice that the timer has finished ticking. I was then given a random hero. Guess who I got? ;)</span><br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Then I fell in love immediately.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Long story short, I spam pick her whenever I can. I yolo-ed and decided to cosplay her. Yes, I absolutely have to cosplay all my waifus.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
ANYWAY. This blog spot isn't to tell you how much I love <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">安琪拉 or how I came to deciding on cosplaying her (though I think I did just that XD), it is to show you how to turn an old box file, into a spellbook for </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">安琪拉</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">!</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">You can make this for your own </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">安琪拉 cosplay, make it for keepsakes if you're a fan of </span>王者荣耀, <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">or simply use it as a reference to make a spellbook for another character.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">Materials:</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">- Box file</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">- 1mm/2mm EVA foam</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">- Hot glue, super glue</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">- Acrylic paint *you'll need to paint each part before assembly</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">- Primer / lacquer (depending on your propmaking habit/preference)</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">Firstly, you'll need a</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129;">n old file, where you need to strip off / tear off / cut off this part:</span></div>

You can use this guide aptly to recreate other spellbooks by changing out the details. Of course, there are many other ways to make a spellbook props. But if you ever need a large one, or running short on time, this is a simple way that you can refer to.</div>

It's just a very simple guide. If you already have basic knowledge in prop-making this should be a piece of cake for you. It should be helpful in giving you an idea of how to form your bow (regardless of whether it's <i>this</i> bow or some other bows) especially if you plan to make it travel-friendly.<br />
<br />
Can't make this a very detailed guide cause I didn't really take enough photos. Plus, this was a very rushed work for a cosplay appearance job recently so I would say it's not exactly my best work (don't wanna teach you crappy work hehe). I completed this whole bow from planning to finished product in 2 nights (collectively probably 7-8 hours). Only had time to do it after I get home from my day job.<br />
<br />
So. First of all...<br />
To make awesome props, you need a Propmaker Dog.<br />

Ever needed to make fake blood for your cosplays, parties or whatever reason? (For making a dead chicken, check out <a href="http://iamhighoncatnip.blogspot.my/2017/03/dead-chicken-and-how-to-get-one.html">this tutorial</a>!) Here's a recipe I'd like to share!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Short backstory: I actually looked up the internet for recipes but a lot of the ingredients cannot be easily found in Malaysia. I was rushing for time as this dead chicken was an event prop that I needed the next day. Gathering whatever info there was on the internet and after identifying a few key ingredients, I came up with this! Super cheap and easy to make!</div>
<br />
<u>What you'll need:</u><br />
- red food colouring<br />
- cocoa powder<br />
- water<br />
<br />
First, get a container (disposable cause I don't think it will be sunshine and butterflies to wash this thing after lol) and a plastic spoon (disposable preferably, for the same reason).<br />
<br />
Scoop about 3-4 spoonfuls of cocoa powder into the container. Pour the entire bottle (25ml) of red food colouring into the mix, and add 1.5 parts of water.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5a4rZ7k2oRXRVqbsIvOYY0a1kyqJTXuGFkCHoqHlhWNxdffnn1zKebCmOTsQcNYaG1inXGCCcMZaDqC1ObGiXeqL5c9Qjox5oGEdLHp7mq4RMwH9b30Eq6Liy68ujX4S1rJw2ZqmNlgpC/s1600/18406193_10154999469549550_1979621076_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5a4rZ7k2oRXRVqbsIvOYY0a1kyqJTXuGFkCHoqHlhWNxdffnn1zKebCmOTsQcNYaG1inXGCCcMZaDqC1ObGiXeqL5c9Qjox5oGEdLHp7mq4RMwH9b30Eq6Liy68ujX4S1rJw2ZqmNlgpC/s320/18406193_10154999469549550_1979621076_o.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Mix gently with the spoon. It might be hard to melt the cocoa powder so you can choose to use warm water instead of regular tap water.<br />
<br />
Adjust according to your needs. If you need more diluted blood, put more water. If you need more concentrated blood, put less water. If you need clumpy blood, you can try adding corn starch. :D<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once it's well mixed, you should see something like the above. Now you can paint it onto your props and/or costumes. It's perfectly safe and edible too, since ingredients used are all food items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
That's all~ Have fun!</div>

Have you ever needed a dead chicken that doesn't smell, doesn't rot and doesn't attract flies? Probably not. But well, I'm gonna teach you how to get (make) one anyway. XD<br />
<br />
*I'm too lazy to adjust the lightings/crop and add watermark for every picture..so please bear with me if the pictures aren't as nice as you'd expect.. and please do not steal the pics!

<u>You'll need</u><br />
- Newspaper<br />
- Tape<br />
- Hot glue stick<br />
- Hot glue gun<br />
- Feathers<br />
- Paint<br />
- Fake blood<br />
<br />
<u>Base</u><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Get old newspaper. Roll them into 1 large ball (body), 1 medium ball (cut-off head), and 1 small ball (tail). Tape them together in place, Wrap the connecting areas with newspaper until you get this chicken shape:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Broken neck</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is just the base coat before attaching the feathers (you'll need to add more details later on).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Paint the 'broken neck' area using red acrylic paint. Make sure the paint is thick and consistent, and the newspaper printings are properly covered. Using brown and black acrylic, shade the rim of the circle. With white, paint a small circle in the center of the neck area. Allow it to dry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>Feathers</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Get your hands on some good ol' feather dusters! This part is fun because you will need to pull out all the feathers. XD Depending on how big you made your chicken body to be, prepare enough loose feathers to be stuck onto the chicken. Try to stick them in rows - you can arrange and stick them on a long piece of tape before securing it onto the base.</div>

Recently I got myself back into playing Pokemon games actively, and am currently hooked beyond control. I thought back on those days when I first started on my journey, when I first wanted to be, the very best. And I think, I'd like to write about something close to heart this time, about how it all began and where I am heading now on my Pokemon journey, instead of another gaming/prop-making tutorial (of course they will come later!).<br />
<br />
My first exposure to Pokemon? It was the anime series. I started watching Pokemon on CDs when I was around 9 or 10 with my cousins. That was when I first fell in love with Bulbasaur, when I watched episode 10 "Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village". And Bulbasaur has been my favourite Pokemon ever since. He's always my #001!<br />

<i>Best Pokemon ever.</i></div>
<br />
<br />
During those times, there wasn't strong internet connection for us to stream videos seamlessly like now. Plus, where in the world would you find sites like kissanime.ru back then? The only one I remembered from my younger days was Crunchyroll. Even so, that was much later on and I somehow recall having to pay to watch anime on that site.<br />
<br />
A few years later, my brother got his GBA as his birthday gift, along with Pokemon Ruby awhile after it was released. That GBA was also the first ever handheld console we had in our family. My brother started playing Ruby, and having no GBA myself and the inability to create 2 separate saves, I watched. Once in awhile, I would borrow his game and play a little without saving. I never finished Ruby, obviously. In fact, I don't think I ever got past the 2nd gym cause I can't be hogging someone else's game right? A little later on when Emerald was released, we got it too and he was nice enough to let me create a save on that as he was still on Ruby.<br />
*We might have had Sapphire too, I can't remember. But my brother said he remembered having all 3rd gen titles and I played Sapphire for awhile before switching to Emerald.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So I guess I'd say that my first Pokemon game was Emerald, also the title that left me the deepest impression. (Not including Ruby cause I only watched, mostly. And not including Sapphire because, why don't I remember playing it? ^^") And no, we both didn't know back then that Emerald was the director's cut of Ruby and Sapphire.<br />
<br />
We've had a bootleg title in our possession too. Chaos Black, anyone? XD Somehow I don't remember playing it ever, and I think my brother didn't play it for long too. But yes, we didn't know it was bootleg back then when we bought it. A few years later, my brother got his PSP and stopped playing the GBA. It was old and dying, and it was cracked till we could see the components inside if we bend it enough. But I wanted to keep it so we went to a shop and changed the shell and I took over the console. Started off playing Pokemon Ruby, stopped very early in the story and switched to Emerald once again. Then the GBA died.<br />
<br />
I was playing many different games so it wasn't an immediate crave or need for a new console. I guess you could say I didn't bother because I was busy with PC games (like Maple Story owo) and PS games then, LOL. Plus, all my peers weren't into Pokemon games.. so I stopped playing Pokemon games when the GBA died.<br />
<br />
Though through the years, we continued watching Pokemon movies, but discontinued on following the series. (Though I was still pretty much a Pokemon fan throughout so I still follow up on new Pokemon and characters by stalking other people's fan art.) Later on I got my own PSP. I played a lot of Tekken, everyday. (I play it on my PSP, I play it on our PS2, and I play it in the arcade. I've made a guy in the arcade upset too, because he lost to me lol.) I then somehow started reminiscing the old games I used to play, and so got my PSP hacked and installed PS1 and GBA emulators on it.<br />

And thus, I downloaded Pokemon Emerald and Leaf Green roms and played them on my PSP! (Nintendo fans and SONY fans, here's your cue to get triggered. :P)<br />
<br />
It was also during those times that I started playing PokeMMO with my cousins. We were super casual and my only wish was to have a team made up of Pokemon I liked, regardless of their typing coverage or how well they fared competitively. And mostly, I just wanted to have Bulbasaur (Venusaur later) by my side at all times (they had an update where you could use HeartGold/SoulSilver roms to make Pokemon trail behind you).<br />

<i>The moment when my life is complete.</i></div>
<br />
Speaking of casual, in all my past Pokemon games, I have never played competitively. For one, when I finally started understanding shit, I couldn't (with my hacked PSP and game being pirated and all lolol), and also, I didn't know how. It was only towards later stage of me playing PokeMMO with my best friend (now boyfriend <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">❤</span>) that I started having proper knowledge about natures, IVs and EVs. Even then, I did not really read much into details. All I knew was how natures affected each stat, the need for perfect IVs, perfect IV = 31, and how fighting certain Pokemon gave different EVs.<br />
<br />
After stopping PokeMMO, I returned to my hacked PSP and played Emerald again (now you see why this title has the longest lasting impression on me LOL). This time, I knew more, and started doing what almost every non-casual player does: spam reset for a good starter. XD I started building a team with more knowledge in mind on type coverage and effectiveness. Since I couldn't trade or battle with anyone, it was still extremely limited on the things I could accomplish. After many times of playing the same title, I finally started using the daycare for breeding. Though, it was all casual because I never get Pokemon with nice stats (pfft) and I had no access to trading. :| So I never did try hard on this. Only did it cause it was cute to have an egg and well, most pre-evolves are cute <i>af</i>.<br />
<br />
Then, hiatus again.<br />
<br />
Fast forward, my boyfriend got himself back into Pokemon TCG. I started collecting with him. I grew fond of Pokemon once again, feeling nostalgic and all. So I played a bit of the Pokemon titles I had on my PSP once again, feeling somewhat imcomplete like something was missing. Boyfriend was playing Pokemon X on his sister's 3DS so I watched. The urge to get a 3DS for myself began. I played a little of Pokemon X using his save to try out the feel of playing legit Pokemon game on a legit device. I realised I need a 3DS. Boyfriend told me to wait it out and see if I really want it before spending any money because I have the tendency to get distracted by different games on different platforms all the time (somewhat true.. to a certain extend).<br />

<br />
And then came the hype on Pokemon GO. To be honest, I no longer play it actively. I hardly log in anymore after the Halloween event ended last year. Still, it brought so much Pokemon hype and memories back, somehow. It reminded me of my childhood dream of going on adventures and capturing Pokemon!<br />
<br />
Then came the announcement of Pokemon Sun and Moon launch. Looking at the starters, the trailers, etc., I decided that I really, absolutely need to play it. I actually bought Pokemon Sun first, and borrowed my boyfriend's sister's 3DS to play it on, while I continued contemplating, researching and sourcing for my own 3DS. Finally, I came across someone selling his less-than-a-week old New Nintendo 3DS XL at RM200 cheaper than retail price. So I bought it almost immediately. No, wait. I bought it <i>immediately</i>.<br />

<br />
Been playing extremely a lot since. Finished the game end of last year and started actively trading and breeding. Caught my first shiny too! I've also been studying all the technical stuff and I am now building my team for competitive play! Following the VGC scene bit by bit and learning new things everyday. I will be sharing some tips and guides very soon too! (As usual when I am extremely hooked on a certain game.. previous example: Don't Starve :P)<br />
<br />
Oh, I am also currently playing Omega Ruby. Feeling very nostalgic while playing it too since it's actually a remake of Ruby. <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">♡ </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">And I am now tempted to purchase one of the Gen 1 titles to play, since I've only seen videos of it and have never actually watch someone play it or play it myself IRL. Currently considering Pokemon Yellow where I can get all the other 3 Gen 1 starters later on in the game. :D</span><br />
<br />
I'm now truly on the way to achieving my dream...<br />

Well, it's always like this, me coming here and trying to be active and then get distracted and ended up not updating for a long time. Rinse and repeat. XD Well, I'm back now, so. I'm gonna share a tutorial on how to make bird skull (?) !!! But before that, let me talk a little about my Comic Fiesta 2016. Very briefly, I promise.<br />
<br />
I'm feeling rather high and cheerful recently, maybe because I've had an awesome CF to end the year with! The day before CF, I did a group pool party photoshoot with my D2MC family. I LOVE THEM TO BITS! I will update on this later on when I have more photos from the photographers..so stay tuned to my Faccebook page: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/catnipxx">Catnipx 喵喵草</a> for the photos!<br />
<br />
Then on the first day of CF, I cosplayed as Meepo! Along with Sharon, Hui Min, Desi and Grace, we were the first ever Meepo girls group in Malaysia~ <i>I don't wanna brag but I think we were super cute together lololol~</i> (Once again, photos will be posted to my Facebook page so please like and follow me there!) We did the Bone Ruins set. This set features a bird skull strapped onto the right shoulder of Meepo, like this:<br />

And this post will be a tutorial on the various techniques involved to make this bird skull. I'll be sharing techniques which is applicable for different projects, not just making a bird skull, so you can also use parts of this guide as a reference for other props where applicable.<br />

</div>
Step 1: Materials<br />
Ideally, you would need a foam ball of the right size - I used an 8cm diameter styrofoam ball. For the beaks, cut out EVA foam pieces as seen in the picture. The length I went with was 12cm (on the slightly longer side), where the width of each piece (at the widest point) is 5cm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
*You can see pieces of tape over the middle of the styrofoam ball in my picture because I'm recycling 2 pieces of old foam domes. This is another option that you can go with if you can't find a full sphere. For Malaysians, you can find styrofoam balls and domes at Art Friend in MidValley.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Assembly<br />
I wish I took more pictures in between, argh! Anyway...<br />
Mark your foam ball in the center, draw a line across. Think of where you want to position your eyes, mark them on the ball. Mark a line for where the beak should sit.<br />
Glue the 2 pieces of EVA foam together at the longer side, forming a V shape. Glue the non-pointy part to the styrofoam ball, according to where you initially intended the beak to sit.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Step 3: Hollowing out the eyes, skull contouring (wut?)<br />
As seen in the picture above, the eye sockets are hollowed out. To do this, simply burn the styrofoam with a lighter where the eye sockets are supposed to be. *You may want to be careful and not breath in the fumes because its hazardous! Be careful as it should burn pretty quickly. Try to minimize mistakes as more mistakes will lead to you having to do more work patching up later.<br />
Since skulls are not supposed to be round and full, you would need to reduce the roundness at the bottom too. Below each eye/under each side of the beak, use the lighter to lightly reduce the roundness (BURN AWAY THOSE FATS LOL). Try to make it even for both sides.<br />
<br />
Step 4: Patching up<br />
This step is especially important if you used 2 domes instead of a complete sphere like me. There are bound to be gaps in between the 2 domes, patch them up with putty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9ACHqTxFNOU04h5lmQKI0llL0NX2RXCt75wVv73zGcCrbW4xtbcw1UGBcmJGmv2mjJUO9RKaPm-tI8ajyJHnPIQQ2iU9hCT_l0Y5DnktvTSkqb7buFOni7IdPTH9qK-3EGe88NKCpCVx/s1600/Pye-Putty-Filla-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9ACHqTxFNOU04h5lmQKI0llL0NX2RXCt75wVv73zGcCrbW4xtbcw1UGBcmJGmv2mjJUO9RKaPm-tI8ajyJHnPIQQ2iU9hCT_l0Y5DnktvTSkqb7buFOni7IdPTH9qK-3EGe88NKCpCVx/s320/Pye-Putty-Filla-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>tub of putty</i></div>
<br />
<br />
Fill the gaps and holes in between the parts, then smoothen it out. Personal advice: use your fingers instead of the spread thingy for tricky parts! This is also the time to patch up those extra holes that you have accidentally burnt (if you did).<br />
<br />
Step 5: Adding more details<br />
Lightly sketch where the nostrils should be. Cut a super thin strip of EVA foam, stick it securely around where the nostrils are supposed to be. Do the same for the eye sockets.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Add more putty if you wish, where you deem appropriate.<br />
<br />
Step 6: Drying it out<br />
Let the putty on your bird skull dry and harden completely under the sun.<br />
Once it's dried, you would need to coat the whole thing with layers of diluted PVA glue/wood glue. Different concentration of glue can be used but I typically go with 1:1.5; wood glue:water. If it's more diluted, coat more layers. *Wait for each layer to dry before coating the next!<br />

<br />
Step 7: Spray painting, shading/weathering<br />
Once your entire bird skull is covered properly with layers of glue and dried, spray the whole skull white. *Make sure it's properly covered with glue! Otherwise the acrylic spray paint will very likely burn into your styrofoam!<br />

<br />
Paint the eye sockets and nostrils black. Shade/weather the sides with grey or very diluted black paint. Try to make it look as natural and convincing as possible (don't be too neat!)<br />
<br />
And done~ Hope the guide for detailed and clear enough! Feel free to leave a comment or PM me on my Facebook page if you are unclear about anything.<br />

I don't play Overwatch, actually. Sure wish I do, though. But I suffer from motion sickness and I just thought spending 60USD that I do not have for something that I might not be able to enjoy long at all might not exactly be worthwhile. Still. I really like the character designs and the game seems fun! Maybe I'll try it soon with someone else's account huehue.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tbh, I am rather proud of these girls! I really like how cute D.Va turned out to be. I hope I did her in-game look justice! I'm happy with the details I manage to include for Ana too! It sure wasn't an easy feat to recreate Ana as an amigurumi doll since her in-game clothes are so complicated with so many details! But it was really fun and challenging to make them anyway~</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most special thing about this commission was that, I made their mini weapons~ It took quite some time considering how small it is. It was really hard to handle as well because of its size! I had paint and glue all over my hand when making these LOL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Materials used for mini weapons: EVA foam of various thickness (2mm, 5mm, 10mm), metal wire, toothpick <b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; white-space: nowrap;">°</b><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px;">◡</span><b style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; white-space: nowrap;">°</b>, hot glue, acrylic paint, and clear lacquer spray. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sorry there isn't a complete tutorial or visual guide for this.. I made them free hand and just cut as I went along. </div>

Please note that these mini weapons are not included when you purchase D.Va or Ana doll from me~ BUT. BUT.<b> </b>If you absolutely, desperately need it, you can still commission me to make it separately as a prop for the dolls you purchased from me! Downside is, I will charge separately, accordingly.. (personally wouldn't recommend it lel) Please understand that it is really too much work and so meticulous my eyes were literally like *_*</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had fun turning an ordinary baseball bat into Harley Quinn's bat, as seen in the Suicide Squad movie! I'll just go through the process quickly, and hopefully the picture serves well as a visual guide. It's a super simple prop to make IMO and you'll definitely enjoy it. I almost imagined myself as Harley scribbling my thoughts on my bat LOL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started with cleaning the bat to make sure there are not stains left from the stickers I peeled off (lol) of it, and removed the original bandage on the handle. Then I googled for reference images - find as many as you can showing the bat from various angles! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I did a free-hand sketch of the 'GOOD NIGHT' letters and used it as a template for my bat. Not really sure where I kept that piece of scrap paper but if I find it and also find the time to make a digital copy of it, I'll share it here for free~ Then again, if you wanna be neat, you can choose to type out the words using a computer, have a printed out and just cut out the letters, leaving the center where you can use as a template to colour in on your bat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Colour it in with red marker! Woohoo! Then outline it with black marker after.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Cursive wordings on the bat...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, I don't think there is any clear image/movie stills that shows what is really written on the bat that Margot Robbie holds. Most sources seem to point to the lyrics of 'I started a joke' by The Bee Gees, so I went with that. It's very suitable too! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I wrote the lyrics of the song in cursive letters using a pencil on the bat, then went over it with black marker, and going over some of the words in red marker.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other empty spaces of the bat, you can choose to fill it with suit symbols and Harley's quotes. For symbols, I see most sources have <span style="font-family: inherit;">'<span style="background-color: white;">◆' on them, arranged in fours. As for the quotes, you can use her quotes from either the movie or even better - the comic series!</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>The band at the bottom, before the handle...</b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">Sketch the outline with a pencil first. I did it free-hand so there isn't any template that I can share. Start with the top and bottom lines so that you can gauge how wide you want the band to be. Then split the circumference into 4 parts and sketch the outline for the diamond shapes in each part. You can also just draw multiple jointed 'X' till you get 4 diamond shapes evenly distributed around the band. Then, draw a smaller diamond shape inside each big diamond.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;">I coloured the small diamonds with blue marker, left the space between the small and big diamond empty, and coloured the rest of the band with red marker. Finally, I used a black marker to outline the top and bottoms lines.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Cut out a long strip of white fabric and wrap it around the handle area of the bat! You can use brown/black acrylic paint to 'dirty' the fabric a little, to make it seem worn.</span></div>

I've been seeing lots of crafters making cute little animals and what not by needle felting. They all look incredibly cute and irresistable and so I decided to pick it up and try to learn it myself too!</div>

Conveniently, Daiso sells woolen felt! A packet with 3-4 colours (approx. 20g) would cost you RM5.30. There are various themes and each packet shows a picture of what you could possibly make from the colours available in that particular packet. Of course, the downside is that you can't actually choose the very specific colours you want (eg. you can't just buy 1 shade of red, you'd have to buy the pink and maroon as well).</div>

There are actually many types of wool for needle felting. I'm not quite sure about this myself as I am also very new to this. But I've read that roving wool is the easiest and nicest to work with. To be very honest I am not sure if the type that Daiso sells is roving wool or not. Haha!</div>

For my first attempt, I have decided to make Totoro. No specific reason.. maybe because my boyfriend likes Totoro and one of the many important roles as my boyfriend is, to be the reciever of many gifts (which are bad or failed attempts of a certain handicraft I am doing) from me. So I figured, if it turns out well, good! If it doesn't, well, I tried. At least it's still Totoro, sort of.</div>

Oh I discovered something that I'd like to share, in case anyone else is like me (who doesn't read any instruction and guides before trying anything new): you'll need to take like 2 or 3 times more of the wool (when it's rolled up) than the intended size of your end product. Else you'll end up with something much smaller than you intended and it will be more difficult to work with the smaller it is.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So yea, thought my first Totoro was too small and looks fugly. So I grabbed more wool and tried again. This time much bigger and I used safety eyes instead of just black wool for the eyes. Added details and a piece of leaf on the head too~</div>

<br />
Arrived on Monday night and went straight to cc for a match of Dota 2 lol. And I have just finished unpacking most of the things this afternoon. Now, story time!<br />
<br />
We arrived in Manila, Philippines on 10th of June, a Friday. Dec Dec, Sarah, Jam, Jeremy and Mimi came and picked us up from the airport. I think I can say the same for the whole group that we were ecstatic to be in Manila and to finally meet the D2PC members!<br />

<i>Arrived!</i></div>
<br />
Our first Philippines experience was traffic congestion. The entire road was jammed up. Apparently it is always like that, every hour, every day. Except maybe Sundays and midnight. There were a lot of jeepneys on the road! It was rather refreshing to see because we don't have that in Malaysia. We then headed straight for lunch at Phillipines' famous Jolibee! (We actually saw lots of Jolibees on the way to the mall.) The Chickenjoy was super duper delicious! Partly maybe because we were really hungry so at that moment I honestly felt like that was one of the best fried chicken I've ever tasted in my life.<br />
<br />
Oh, Dec dec looks like Jolibee!<br />

<br />
We then went to the secret shop to see if we could get ourselves Legendary and Rare boxes. But unfortunately, they ran out. But it was still alright because we met some pretty damn awesome cosplayers from all over the world! They were all so close to perfection I honestly don't know which is the best. But I'm super impressed with the Clockwerk cosplay.<br />

If I had to pick the best, I would've picked him. His armor and props move and it was timed with Clockwerk's quote and everything. Saw the entire cosplay up close and the details and craftmanship was superb.<br />

A few other notable ones are the Tinker (who took first place), Doom, Undying, Pudge, Timbersaw, etc. Well to be honest, all of them were incredible.<br />

<br />
But seriously, all of the cosplays made me speechless. For a moment back there I felt like, damn, I am trash compared to these. I seriously need to improve myself and up my game. Then again it would be a million years before I get to this level (x'D) but well, no giving up!<br />

One of my personal favourite was the Invoker though, cause, well, he's Invoker. :D Talked to him and apparently he came all the way from China, alone, to take part in the contest. Helped him with his wig and mask during the preselection. Thomas went and became his translator cause he couldn't speak English and the judges couldn't speak Mandarin.<br />

Common box's loot isn't very exciting.. there's a pair of socks, Manila Major tag, iPhone 6 cover (which is kinda sad for anyone who doesn't use iPhone 6, eg. me), and Dota 2 mousepad. Oh well, at least there's a collectible pin inside!<br />

Half way through, Na`Vi had their photo session nearby but it was too crowded for us to go in. Me and Hui Min were wondering if Dendi would remember us as we were in the same hero's cosplay when we took selfies with him backstage during Major All Stars. And we didn't find out. :(<br />
<br />
Changed out of our formal attire and went for D2PC's First Blood dinner with everyone! I must say it is one of the best dinner I've ever had, with friends from 5 different countries gathered in a room, eating and singing karaoke, joking and laughing together. It's honestly really heartwarming. <3 I miss everyone already!<br />

Took lots of photos and met more new friends! To be honest I was slightly panicking when we weren't done with photo taking but the match between OG and Liquid was already going on. It's a good thing that finals are Bo5 lol.<br />
<br />

Manage to rush back and watch the final match. It was pretty intense as the crowd was screaming and cheering at almost everything, myself included! That moment when GG was called, damn. I can't even begin to describe the adrenaline rush and that overwhelming urge that brought my close to tears lol. FUCKING GGWP <3<br />
<br />
Rewind a little: We actually made a bet the night before to root for OG or Liquid, and me, Micho and Nobu was rooting for OG while Thomas, Hui Min and Dec were for Liquid. We agreed that whoever lost the bet would gift a rare set to each of the winners. And yay~ free rares!!<br />
<br />
I would've wanted Fnatic to win, well cause Mushi and Malaysia. But, I'm still happy that OG won. Miracle- and Cr1T- were incredible!!<br />
<br />
That night when we got back to Dec's house, Dec and Jam bought us balut to try.<br />

It tastes really good tbh. The taste is like normal boiled egg but slightly saltier, and the texture was like smooth and extra creamy egg yolk. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED. I would've eaten so many of them if I had the chance. Hahaha!!<br />
<br />
We got Dec to sleep with us in the same room that night. So we had 6 person squeezed in 1 room lol. Micho managed to record the snoring from all the guys hahaha, it was quite funny. XD<br />
<br />
The next morning we went and got lots of snacks and canned sisig to be brought back to Malaysia. Saw this bread at the mart.<br />

But when we reached, it was pretty late so well, nothing much was accomplished that day.<br />

Okay that's all. I've got nothing much to say, partly because I am lazy.<br />

<br />
I was gonna wait for my Lightroom to work and touch up my photos before posting them but its still uninstallable somehow, so screw it, I'm just gonna post all the raw photos. After all, I think my OPPO takes wonderful photos without any edits anyway huehuehue...<br />
<br />
Brace yourself, this is gonna be one really long post (cuz of the photos I'm about to spam)<br />
<br />
<u><b>Day 1 - Universal Studios Singapore</b></u><br />
I woke up and dressed up like a kid (lol). Honestly I was pretty excited cause this was my first time going to Singapore, though Singapore is a neighbouring country. When we reached there were already a lot of people around.<br />
<br />
First stop was New York - Where the Sesame Street and Despicable Me stuff are.<br />

<br />
They have photographers set up station around all these areas to help you take photos. They'll take a few with their cameras and you can choose to buy the prints complete with a cardboard frame. <br />

I set a new year's resolution earlier this year to update my blog more often but look at where we are now. *cries*<br />
<br />
Then again, new year's resolutions almost never come true.<br />
<br />
With this post though, I hope the following updates will be more often. ;P<br />

Have a photo of my Lina cosplay from a photoshoot with Hakucho (as Crystal Maiden) and Shin (Moon Art Studio). <i>Imba</i> level of photo editing for special effects.

A brief update on my life before I disappear to god knows where again: I'm pretty busy with work recently. Still gotta work over time when I get home sometimes. But well, all is good because I'm learning a lot! Gonna keep up my positive spirit and soar~<br />

Happy New Year~ Remade half of my Lina costume recently and I'm pretty happy with the result. It's now comfortable and safe to wear for conventions!<br />
<br />
Good bye 2015 and hello 2016. I hope to achieve a few small but significant goals this year. I hope I succeed! With these in mind, I hope I will update my blog more often.. hopefully at least as often as my Facebook page. XD<br />
<br />
If anyone actually reads my blog, and doesn't know about my Facebook page - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catnipxcosplay/">Catnipx</a> , do give it a like and remember to click 'See first' if you are interested to see my updates. :D<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Took a pretty YOLO trip to Penang last weekend with my friends. Second time this year going outstation for a cosplay event. Must say the entire trip felt super tiring but super epic as well, cause we D2MC pulled off some pretty YOLO shit (or at least in my opinion I think we did).<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As usual, I prefer to let pictures do the story telling! XD</div>

<u><b>Day 1 of CF Mini</b></u></div>
<div>
We did our mafia Dota 2 again, after our first debut during Animangaki. But this time round only 4 of us instead of the whole team. Got to see Grace's Luna cosplay though which was really nice!</div>

Me and my <i>husbando</i>, Slark</div>
<br />
As I grow older, the less I bother with my own birthday. Honestly, when my friends asked me out for a nice dinner a day before my birthday, I didn't even thought for a second that it was for my birthday(and another friend of ours whose birthday is on the 22nd, one day after mine).<br />
<br />
When they brought out the cake, it took me a moment to realize, 'OMG, it's my birthday tomorrow!'<br />
<br />
Same thing happened that day when my mom asked if there was any fancy food or restaurant that I wanted to eat on Tuesday and I was thinking in my head, 'why so sudden?' and then after awhile only realized that Tuesday was my birthday.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I don't have much to say except that I didnt expect anything at all for my birthday but am truly grateful to have such thoughtful people around me. <3<br />
<br />
Actually, I guess I just wanted to post this selfie with my birthday gift from my friends. It's one of those really rare times that I cry when recieving a gift cause I couldn't contain how happy and how touched I am.<br />
<br />
Oh, Slark~ <3Catnipxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17437202245273703353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242383238286311299.post-74410328099266526702015-06-17T08:05:00.000-07:002017-01-01T08:08:30.455-08:00How to: Don't Starve - Traps!Most people get the misconception that if you are going to hunt something, you will need to fight it and kill it.<br />
<br />
While that could be done, there are actually easier methods to hunt or gather certain resources - via the use of traps.<br />
<br />
There are in general, 3 kinda of traps - traps, tooth traps, bird traps.<br />
<br />
<b>Traps</b> are craftable using 6 grass and 2 twigs, under the survival tab. Baits (food items) can be placed under traps, but is not advisable as it is a waste of precious food items, since they are scarce. Instead, there are other ways to trap your prey without the use of bait. Any form of trigger by animals will cause the trap to fall. When a trap falls, it may successfully catch a creature, or it may also fail, in which you would need to reset it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<u>Rabbits</u><br />
Rabbits give morsels when killed, and 2 rabbits and a twig could be used to craft rabbit earmuffs - a clothing item that can help you keep warm during winter.<br />
<br />
Rabbits spawn from rabbit holes. At dusk, or when they are scared, rabbits will run back to their holes. This means that traps can be placed on the rabbit hole itself. When dusk arrives, rabbits will run towards their holes and trigger the trap.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY0WMorGWvHtYSOT0NZKiYe6-Uj24K0099RDXC7mryCIqdDrvry9ZCLePkiBW8M6S-N0XKfmp4anpjKXlY5OCqBEkIH0jBSwBhZoGlcuXpektS3Gg-gHjEoHsmDDI0a9pjAEZHf4O7UgI/s1600/trap.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY0WMorGWvHtYSOT0NZKiYe6-Uj24K0099RDXC7mryCIqdDrvry9ZCLePkiBW8M6S-N0XKfmp4anpjKXlY5OCqBEkIH0jBSwBhZoGlcuXpektS3Gg-gHjEoHsmDDI0a9pjAEZHf4O7UgI/s200/trap.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Similarly, you can place a trap on rabbit holes, and scare a nearby rabbit. It will run towards the rabbit hole and trigger the trap. A bait can also be place in line with the trap, so that when a rabbit moves towards to bait, it will trigger the trap since they walk in a straight line to their targets.<br />
<br />
However, chasing a rabbit back towards the rabbit hole takes more practice as the direction and position of the player, rabbit and trap all makes a difference. This also applies for putting the bait in line with traps. Hence, the simplest method would be to simply set a number of traps on a number of rabbit holes, as the catch rate can be 100% if you place it right.<br />
<br />
<u>Spiders</u><br />
Spiders give silk, gland, and monster meat which are all very useful items required for making other things. Since spiders are aggressive creatures, it is often troublesome to fight them since they will attack you.<br />

<br />
The use of traps enables you to safely and easily farm all these drops from spiders without the need to risk your health.<br />
<br />
All you need to do is make a few traps, don't even need any food bait for this. To help you gauge, if the spider den you are trying to farm from is tier 1, 1 trap is sufficient; if its tier 2, then make 2 traps; and so on. This is because when u go near the spider den, the number of spiders that emerge each time depends on the level of the spider den. If it is at tier 2, 2 spiders will emerge when u go near the den.<br />
<br />
The moment u go near (on the sticky surface around the spider den), spiders emerge and will chase you. As you walk away from the den, place a trap in your path (or have it placed before hand, either way is fine) and walk through the trap. Spiders will chase you in a straight line and will trigger the traps in their path.<br />
<br />
Simply collect the sprung traps to obtain whatever loot that was supposed to drop if you would've killed the spider. This ensures an easy and efficient way to farming silk and glands without having to put on any armor, weapons, or risk hurting yourself.<br />

Here's part II - tips for surviving.<br />
<br />
So now you have a base with a fire pit and Science Machine.<br />
<br />
Next, make an Alchemy Engine. Essentially, Alchemy engine is also a science machine but a higher tier one. It will unlock even more recipes which will help you in your survival. To make an alchemy engine, you will need 4 boards, 2 cut stones, and 6 gold nuggets/2 electrical doodads (RoG). To make boards and cut stones, simply go to the 'Refine' tab near the science machine and refine these items. In RoG, electrical doodads are needed for crafting alchemy engine. Electrical doodads are found under the 'Science' tab and can be made by using 2 gold nuggets and 1 cut stone.<br />
<br />
<b>Food</b><br />
<u>Basic:</u><br />
[1] Gathering<br />
To make things easy, first of all, make yourself a backpack (4 grass, 4 twigs). Backpack gives you extra 8 slots in your inventory, which makes gathering that much more convenient! Common food stuff that you can gather includes carrots, berries, seeds, mushrooms and birch nuts (RoG). For meat items, you can kill rabbits for morsels or spiders/hounds for monster meat. You can also kill other animals like Gobblers (that annoying turkey that steals your berries) for drumsticks. But I wouldn't recommend this as Gobblers run quite fast and you would end up wasting a lot of time chasing it down.<br />
<br />
Cooked food normally have better stat restoration than raw food. Do take note on mushrooms because eating a certain type of mushroom raw/cooked will give you different effects! Here's a simple summary on mushrooms:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwIWHdPMFG6TTaGliEAtkOnXcHBRwVTU2TklA0Qbjw-4-mvyi9FF6Nf49slL47ahezk7G_psKfYB1bfGQryz5UbFxu8wVrRcXi8uhpWWvMaYkezn-oBfQfIpbyEKWeyqsujchjI7BDz_In/s1600/156v1ua.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwIWHdPMFG6TTaGliEAtkOnXcHBRwVTU2TklA0Qbjw-4-mvyi9FF6Nf49slL47ahezk7G_psKfYB1bfGQryz5UbFxu8wVrRcXi8uhpWWvMaYkezn-oBfQfIpbyEKWeyqsujchjI7BDz_In/s320/156v1ua.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
- Green mushrooms<br />
Comes out during dusk, buried in the day and at night.<br />
Raw: restore hunger, minus a lot of sanity! never eat this mushroom raw, seriously. Unless you wanna decrease your sanity on purpose, which I wouldn't recommend for beginners...<br />
Cooked: minus 1 hp, but increases sanity<br />
<br />
- Blue mushrooms<br />
Only comes out at night, buried during the day and dusk.<br />
Raw: restores health and hunger, but decreases sanity<br />
Cooked: decreases health, increases sanity<br />
<br />
- Red mushrooms<br />
Comes out in the day, buried at dusk and at night.<br />
Raw: restore hunger, but decreases health<br />
Cooked: adds 1 hp, decreases sanity<br />
<br />
[2] Planting<br />
Make a shovel. Now when you go out gathering supplies, dig up berry bushes, saplings and grass. Bring them back and plant them around your base, for easy gathering of resources in the future. For berry bushes and grass, you will need to fertilize them after transplanting them. Here's where you will need to pick up poop from beefalo. :)<br />
A fun tip: If you find a pig village, they often have a different type of berry bushes. It's essentially the same thing but they look cooler. You can steal these and plant them near your base too!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
[3] Farming<br />
You will need lots of poop for this. With Science Machine, you will be able to craft basic farm using 8 grass, 4 poop, and 4 logs. Seeds which you've picked up can be planted in the farm. You can either wait for them to grow or fertilize it to hasten the process using poop/rot (rot is obtained from spoiled food items). With an alchemy engine, you can craft improved farm using 10 grass, 6 poop, and 4 rocks. Crops in improved farms grow faster than those in basic farms. Similarly, you can fertilize them to make it even faster. If you can afford it, craft improved farms without making any basic farms.<br />
<br />
*I'm used to referring to manure as 'poop', cause, they are. When I say poop, I mean manure. Heh.<br />
<br />
<u>Advance:</u><br />
[1] Bee box<br />
Crafted under 'Food' tab, using 2 boards, 1 honeycomb and 4 live bees. To obtain honeycomb, you will need to break down an existing bee hive. To catch bees, you will need to make a bug net using 4 twigs, 2 silk and 1 rope (refined from grass). Plant flowers around the bee box for the bees to make honey. The more flowers you have, the faster the bees will produce honey. Honey is a very good food item as it can be stored for a relatively long time, and can be used to make honey poultice.<br />
<br />
[2] Crock pot<br />
Also under 'Food' tab. You can make this using 3 cut stones, 6 charcoals, and 6 twigs. You can get charcoal by setting evergreens on fire, and chopping it down after it is burnt. Crock pot allows you to combine 4 food items to make food with better stats. Simply combining ingredients will end up with wet goop, which does not restore any points to any stat. Here's a <a href="https://dont-starve-food.googlecode.com/git/html/index.htm">crockpot simulator</a> which is super helpful for cooking using a crockpot.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>this is the yummiest recipe you can make in crockpot, trust me. :P</i></div>
<br />
<br />
[3] Drying rack<br />
Can be crafted using 3 twigs, 2 charcoals, and 3 ropes. This drying rack isn't for clothes (lol), its for meat! Meat items (raw) can be hung onto drying racks, and will become jerky after some time. Compared to raw or cooked meat, jerkies can be kept for a longer period of time before going bad.<br />
<br />
<b>Basic protection</b><br />
There are many wearable items that will give you different amount of physical damage protection. For me, personally, I would recommend a log suit and spear. The materials are easy to gather and they give a reasonable amount of basic protection. Making a log suit requires 8 logs and 2 ropes, while making a spear requires 2 twigs, 1 rope, and 1 flint. You don't have to wear these all the time. Equip them when you are about to engage in a fight or forsee that something is coming to attack you (hounds, for example). Take note that, when you equip the log suit, you will drop your backpack.<br />

<b><u>Day 1</u></b><br />
<br />
Went as Krobelus the Death Prophet from Dota 2. Literally finished rushing my Fluttering Mortis just the night before the event.<br />
<br />

<br />
Really happy that people actually know where I'm from! I still get this little thrill inside when people ask 'you're Death Prophet from Dota 2 right?' I feel like, 'yesss a fellow Dota 2 playerrrr <3'<br />
<br />
Sadly, I didn't meet everyone I wanted to meet.. couldn't look out for people cause I was half blind the whole day. My lenses were not only 0 degrees (I need 400 :P), it was white screened too. So on top of not having the power I needed, there was an extra layer blocking my view. I'm not sure if I have ignored people who smiled/waved at me. If I did, please know that I'm not ignoring you on purpose!<br />

After cosplaying Dota 2 characters so much recently, I must say that I felt a bit bare being in a simple school uniform. *I need armor for protection*<br />

My derpiness is high in this one...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Honestly though, I'm not entirely satisfied with my Konata cosplay. Felt like I'm a little too old for such a cute character. Plus, my costume and wig wasn't as perfect as I wanted them to be. The wig is a shade too light, my uniform is a shade too light, and the ribbon that came with the uniform was wrong so I had to make one at the very last minute which was quite horribly done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My sincerest apologies for letting this happen. *cries in a corner*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus, I honestly felt really awkward having to be 'cute' as Konata. I felt like I was out of place, awkward, and just a little lost. Took me a long time to gather what little cuteness I have in me now that I'm so old. Well I guess that's what you get for cosplaying a character 8 years younger than you.</div>
