Madman Progress Report + Flying Barcelona Mystery

Journal Entry: Sun Apr 7, 2013, 6:00 AM



Costume Progress

Hello all!
It is starting to get COLD in Australia...so if you are in the southern hemisphere, I hope you are staying warm and not getting sick! If you're in the northern hemisphere... I am so jealous right now. I am a summer guy...:(

Back on topic, Madman Nationals Cosplay Championships 2013 kick off next week with Round 1 starting in Melbourne. I will be entering (again lol. don't ask me why) in Round 2 which is in Gold Coast.

I will be cosplaying the character Sigmund from a crappy Square Enix game called Infinite Undisocvery. Who has played it?
I've been working on this costume for the past month and a bit... here is what it looks like so far...
<-- click for more info :iconohjoyplz:

If you are interested in seeing more progress updates, and general random stories about the costume process which usually don't make it onto DeviantArt, please follow me on facebook: facebook.com/AmenoKitarou :iconhappyblueplz:

Oh god two weeks to go *bangs head against pole* #*$(@#)$*@#()*()#@(!@)



The Vega Mystery

There is one more day left to figure out the flying Vega photo~


If you haven't had a go already, have a look and see if you know how it was done! :iconohjoyplz:
There will be a features of the people with the best guess when behind-the-scenes shots are revealed this week!


That's it from me for now.
Take care everybody :iconhurrplz:

Hello all!!!!

After much hunting and waiting, we finally have a couple of good copies of Team F@P's Evangelioen performance for WCS!!!

Version 1: [link]
Taken by ~aramis01
It is taken at such a godly distance! It shows all the props and the video with really nice colours captured too.

Version 2: [link]
Taken by Team WuWu.
It is 9 minutes long as it included our introduction slides and our stage set up time as well!
It's worth a look if you really want to feel like you were there :P

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now onto more exciting and self promoting things!

:icontsubaki-chan: and I have created an official Team Australia 2012 twitter and facebook page to unleash all of our concepts, ideas, costume structural plans, actual costume progress, and possibly angst onto!!! :iconfirerageplz:

Please follow, enjoy and support us, F@P, during our year of representing Australia in the World Cosplay Summit :)

Facebook Page: [link]
Twitter: [link]

Lastly, our EVA prop destroying rage video is still pending~!
I'm really sorry about the wait!

That's it from me for now :)

Animania 2011 + WCS report~!

Mon Sep 19, 2011, 9:52 AM
Animania Sydney is over for another year. I'm doing big sighs of relief as I realize this year's con season is pretty much over. *fwaaaa*


And now, after a long hiatus, it is time for
:| :D :) A Garlic Report!!! :) :o :p

Day 1 - Sautrday

Saturday was THE big day for me and :icontsubaki-chan: as Team F@P.
We cosplayed Shinji and Mari from Evangelion 2.22 for our final round in the WCS Australian preselections.

To say the least, the whole day was an insane bucket of stress. Lots of worries about whether our props would make it onto the stage without killing anyone, whether all our stage effects would work...repeatedly doing our very loud (and annoying) war cry to keep our nerves in check... etc.

But when it finally came to the moment of truth, everything worked beautifully to plan! I'm so proud of myself and Tsu for accomplishing the skit that we both thought was impossible.

Here is a collection of awesome photos of our skit taken by :iconpireze:


A couple of hours later, the results were in.

In Third Place was :iconcattypatra: and Rosy with their epic Persona 3 set.
In Second Place came Lily and Nicole with their beautiful Dynasty Warriors and GLITTER CANNON! (homfg DAT CANNON! SO FABULOUS)

And then, I'm very very very very proud and humbled to be able to say that :icontsubaki-chan: and I, Team F@P has somehow been chosen as Team Australia 2012! :iconfirerageplz:

:iconhappyblueplz: @&$*@(#)$&(@*#$@#()*$@#_&$*@#()&@*()

We received so many kind words about our performance from so many people. I'm so happy that we somewhat did Evangelion fans proud.

I wish to thank all my Australian friends for their continuing support over the past few months. You all know who you are. There are so many of you that I can't even start listing. :heart:
Also thanks so ALLLLLLL of the epic peopel int he crowd who started up the FAP CHANT!!!! It was a beautiful moment!

Also my eternal love and VERY special mention to three of my amazing friends who I met in Japan this year, :iconmahpsylocke: :iconelffi: :iconcalssara: who have been keeping me mentally healthy late in the night <3 I love you guys so much TT___TT I can't wait to see you again!!!!

My Day 1 of Animania was sadly only consisted of WCS :(
After WCS results, an emotional victory, hugging Tsu for eternity, an emotional international phone call to :iconelffi: XD...we were kicked out of the venue rudely by the bitchy security lady. HURR :iconimunimpressedplz:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Day 2 - Sunday

On Sunday I had the great honor to be the interpreter/translator for our Japanese voice actress guest Otani Ikue-san, who does the voices of Chopper from One Piece, Pikachu from Pokemon and more~!!! *fanboy mode ON*

She was a really really lovely person and her speaking voice is... SO FUCKING CUTE!
She actually greeted me on Sunday by congratulating me on WCS, so that was quite special :iconblushplz:

Her Q&A panels were quite hilarious because I got SO CONFUSED every time people asked about obscure series and pokemon names which had DIFFERENT NAMES in English to Japanese.
Otani-san was QUITE amused at my suffering :XD:

In the afternoon Tsu and I did our encore performance as the winners of WCS Australia.
It was a miracle how the props withstood YET ANOTHER journey up the stairs onto the stage and our rough handling XD
So I enjoyed that.
Overall it was a really relaxing and official duties kind of day.

After everything was over, Tsu and I took our EVAs backstage....and then we DESTROYED THEM!!!!!
:iconfirerageplz:
They were way too huge to keep at our houses and way too troublesome to maintain. They had also caused the both of us much pain and suffering for 5 months.
So what better way to celebrate our victory by completely DESTORYING them... ALL ON CAMERA??? :XD: XD:

The footage of Tsu and I unleashing our rage on them will be posted as soona s I get my hands on them :) :)

That's it for now <3
Have fun everyone ^^

Animania/WCS T-minus 4 DAYS

Mon Sep 12, 2011, 1:14 AM
It is Monday night!  Animania is in just under 5 days!!!
This would probably be my last journal before the event (possibly the last record of me being alive).

Progress is finally progressing as planned.
Over the past 4 months things have been refusing to get made and stay made, and the weather has been out to destroy our props.

There are 4 more days of sunlight and it is the last sprint to the finish!!! :iconfirerageplz:
I can't wait for this to be over so I can see all my lovely interstate friends at the event!!

See you all at Sydney Animania 2011!

F@P News: WCS Progress Update

Fri Aug 26, 2011, 10:25 PM
Good morning. I am Wirru, from Team F@P!!

WCS finals for the Australian selection is in... 3 weeks? :iconnojoyplz:
The deadline for our portfolio has come and gone~!
So now it is time to reveal :icontsubaki-chan: and my entry choice :XD:
I know most people should've figured it out by now since the two of us fail at secrets...
But for those who have yet to know, here it is:

We will be cosplaying from Evangelion 2.0 - You Can (Not) Advance.


I will be Shinji Ikari.

Tsubaki will be Mari Illustrious Makinami.


I wonder if those random-ass clues I gave a few months ago are starting to make sense now :|
Moving on, here are a few peeks into our battle operations:


Plug Suit model... from the back :XD:


Plug Suit model with fibreglass ready to be flooded!


And lastly....
well I'm sure you'll all know what these are....:



There is still much to do before we are really ready.
We'll do our best and bring out all of our HOT BLOODED EMO-NESS! :iconfirerageplz:

That's all from me for now :)
