Well despite 2 missing voice overs, I watched a mock version of the episode, it's pretty good. I saw a few areas where I need to amp some voices just a bit to make it more audible, but this'll really big good! I am having issues with Episode 2 though, specifically the music score, half the soundtracks in that episode don't even exist, like a secret stash of Yoko Kanno music locked in Kawamori's vault of no public allowance. I tried my best to sub what I could, but episode 2 will not have a lot of music in it, and I'm sure that's gonna happen with a number of episodes.

Patterns help too....if you can create your own.

Okay....so nothing today so far *squirm* so while I'm waiting.....I aaaaaaammm..........mixing episode 2..........!!!!

Not really sure, it could be just for listings...sometimes you'll just see the same costume listed 5 consecutive times when you're scrolling ebay. Here's another version of the sms uniform which to me looks like crap and we've seen here in the cosplay forum before. There's also the Mihoshi Academy uniform Here My biggest issue with cosplay is that you really don't know what you're going to get. 99% of these on ebay are from Hong Kong specifically....and if you want it done by a local group in the US it costs almost 3-5X's more money cause they'll use the best materials they can find. I remember, and I've stated it before, one group wanted hundreds and hundreds of dollars to make my DYRL uniform using the same kind of spandex material that was from Superman's outfit in the Return movie ...3 years ago? While I thought that'd be pretty damn cool, just fatties don't look good in spandex. And I stated that to them, but they still wanted to go with spandex like material though the price wouldn't change! And you can't find patterns to these, nearly any cosplay outfit is made from scratch and it's difficult for parents who are conned into making these costumes to understand that.

COSKINGDOM MACROSS COSPLAY SITE It's ebay mind you, but I'm sure after having my photos for the corrected versions they'll keep it up. If not, they'll let you keep the failure and give you a new one at no charge.

yeah, just needs that god damn zipper. I looked around for Cargo pants, couldn't find any in my size and Walmart was having a HUGE sale on pants of all kinds for like 3 bucks. I guess I can always just look online or make 'em myself, phooey!

Spent half the day pondering that and no, don't think he looks like ben affleck. http://www.drunkduck.com/Tozzer/index.php?p=496480 this place comes to mind when you talk about Ben Affleck. Sadly, wont make it tonight, one VA said tomorrow, the other 2 I dunno. I'm thinking if I want to do the 25 episodes or not...I got scripts for some episodes, buuuut mixing...mmm.....and waiting on lines.....eeh.....always the hardest part.

Took some pictures, not much for appearance though on showing off the jacket right now. I'll try too when the uniform is actually finished...I still need good quality Cargo pants, and boots and a brand new belt. Atleast the patch is right this time.

Okay, so I got the last two samples I'm ever going to show off until the episode is released, which I'm waiting for 1 redo, and 2 Main VA's and 1 Extra and BOOM it's done...hopefully this weekend will be it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HICXawLrwkA this clip contains a good portion of the big battle between SMS Units Ozma and Gilliam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5of2uBfSyU and here you finally get to hear Mippa again as Sheryl Nome, Shudo Ranmaru as Catherine Glass, and Rashinban as Alto Saotome.

NICE, we could really use your skills for Macross Aria man, great lookin art!

See, I don't get why everyone keeps going for Crispin on anything, he's not all mighty to me. And yes you can dream, just stop bringing that dream up here lol do your own production. Either case, Frontier is 90% done...I don't think there's much of anything else I can cram into it to make it anymore better. Just gotta wait for the remaining VA's.

Really? Metal Gear? Hmph, never thought about that before...never even really played the games they're not my kind of genre to play. Well, the First game for the PS1 I played and finished and that was okay, but the others I didn't have interest cause of the overly long played out cut scenes. I'm trying to get the ball rolling on the remaining cast members, recasted the role of Catherine Glass to a young girl named Yuffie who is playing a role in the Macross Aria webisode series by Che. I'm REALLY trying to get this thing out this weekend but I kind of doubt it, it'll probably be 2 more weeks.

I'll see if I can take some pictures. Like I said, the material is fine, it's tough, it just could use a zipper to be complete. The pants though I wasn't impressed with cause there are ZERO pockets, just for show, so I'll get my own pair of brown cargo pants. The thing about cosplay, is that if you don't wanna spend the big bucks, you can't expect to get something amazing. I had someone quote me almost 500 dollars for a "realistic" looking DYRL style uniform. Basically using the same materials of spandex that was from the Superman Returns film.

Its by a group called coskingdom. They got a pretty good selection of frontier outfits made to your size. I got one from them 2 months ago but they screwed it up and I had to wait until Last month to get it fixed. pretty good quality and looks nice when its done right.

K......SO back to the subject at hand which is Macross Cosplaying...I FINALLY got my new SMS Jacket with the improvements. It's got the collar strap and the right SMS patch, positioned and correct color. It's just missing a zipper which I think I'll try and put on myself if I can...then I'll just need a new pair of cargo pants and boots and I'm all set for that cosplay.

Well I did accomplish some stuff today. Mippa did her lines for Sheryl and they were excellent. So there isn't a lot left but yeah I'm bummed though that I gotta do some recasting on a few roles.

Yeah good trailer, kind of makes me feel sorry for Marcus a little bit. But glad we're gonna see some Endo action.

So far the extras hold the lead in finishing their lines. I believe I have one more guy I'm waiting on and the bit roles will be filled up. The remaining mains besides Michel and Grace haven't reported in...Mippa said she would turn in her Sheryl lines ASAP, Cristina is tied down with something but only has 5 lines left to go, Rashinban hasn't even given me a reply to several emails I sent him about Alto, Chris is sick so I might have to replace him for Leon, Che is working on building a suitable Voice Over work station so I would think maybe another week until I get his Ozma lines. Brooklynn who is playing Luca hasn't reported in for a while, and Maija who is Nanase will probably turn stuff in later in the week...she's in a bit of trouble right now for personal reasons. So I wont make my deadline like I had hoped, was close but no cigar. I'll need to recast Leon and Cathy thus far, I hope it wont be any others. Small update, I did receive about mmm less than half of Alto lines from Rashinban and I about dropped my jaw. With what time he's had doing this role and countless others plus his other obligations, he's done a fantastic job. I think the fans are really going to enjoy his voice for the part, and with him and the countless other VA's, this'll probably rank right up there with DYRL's excellence, and I'm not just throwing that around.

Mhmm...so far I'm not big on any of the toys or designs this time. I'm sure i'll like the movie....unlike some who pass judgement already. But toy wise, nah...im still trying to get rid of the ones i got NOW for two years.

Ooooo that lil bit of eye candy was cool, looked like T-700's or something. I'll more than likely pass on the HotToy replicas.....just way to spendy for me.

Keep waiting I'm afraid. I'm more than likely going to release it with Episode 2 so it's consistent. But I'm still missing things so it's still gonna be a while...but yeah it was a good scene. Aries' explenation on the Aphios wasn't too shabby either, but I don't have enough to pile on that scene for show.

SHE-SHE-SHAW! Double updates all around! Mariavu did her lines for Aries today so I got this lil clipie out to tie everyone over...least I hope so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox5sqgpXit8 I had a lil sync issue with it but it's been corrected now.

Got 'em, and got a new sample up. No SMS voice on this one though. Everyone Congrats on Che for being Ozma. He did a pretty good job just for an audition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kx3UE34WPKk

Tough call, they're pretty simple, I'd buy 'em if they wer elike as cheap as the Bandai stands, but atleast these work better since they're purpose is for Yamato toys....but then I'd be a tad bummed spending 40 dollars on stands for most of my collection.

The pilot outfit, awesome, the cosplayers so so wrong. The ones above, HAWT, I'd marry 'em or I'd be their slave, it doesn't matter.
