I feel like I'm prematurely panicking for Katsucon and I can't tell it it's normal or not! Last year, I didn't really Katsucrunch because my cosplay was already done for a previous convention, so this is all new to me. I am doing two armor cosplays and a couple of closet cosplays and comfy cosplays, which isn't so bad, but I'm also commissioning two armored cosplays for friends on top of it! Let's start this off with the fact that I'm a horrible procrastinator. Like.. the worst kind of procrastinator that there is. I am actively aware that I am procrastinating, but more often than not, do nothing about it. The sense of urgency won't hit me until it's a week before Katsucon and I still have things to sew and paint and finish. I'm really hoping it does not come to that, but I'm basing things off of the past and the past has not been pretty for lil' ol' me.
One of my cosplays is DONE, aside from some paint touch up that'll take 10 minutes tops, so I've got that going for me. The other one is nearly done, I just need to finish the top and some accessories. What is really panicking me is my second armor build and the commissions - they are essentially the same cosplay three times over because I'm making them for a group that we are doing. The sewing on mine is done and my armor is plastidipped. I'm hoping to have it painted (at least to the point where I can start weathering) by the 23rd (because that's when I'm leaving for my family's house for the holidays). That gives me five days, and I'm going to do some Katsucrunch with Katastrophic Kosplay on the 22nd, so I'm thinking relatively positive about this. All I will have to do then is weather the armor and the fabric, and mine is done! WOO! I want to try and get mine done before I focus on the others. All that's done of theirs is the armor is put together. I still have to prime, paint, and weather that, as well as make the obi, tunic, and arm sleeves. I'm hoping to get the armor plastidipped and the first layer of paint on by the New Year; at least then I can finish painting and weathering. Eugh. I'm NEVER doing commissions on top of my own cosplays ever again. Too stressful. Nope.
