D.Gray-man Cosplay

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Is anyone attending Anime Expo this year? My friends and I are going to cosplay as Allen, Kanda, Lavi and Lenalee in the Third Uniform and it would be really nice to meet more people at the convention. We will be going on Friday and Saturday.

I'm going to cosplay as Allen in his Crown Clown cape and sword along with it. And I must say that his sword is quite a pain to do but pretty much worth it for we might even do a Masquerade skit if we are chosen in the entry screening. We should recieve a reply from them soon.

Friday: Allen Casual
Saturday: Allen Third Uniform

Progress Spoilers:



Crown Clown- I found duct tape that was really super shiny. Plus, you can see your reflection in it. XD My goal is to make the sword accurate and shiny as possible. I attached the handle but I cut it off in the picture.



Back Torso of Lenalee's Uniform- I'm really reluctant to show everything right now. We actually progressed a lot further than what the pictures say. I will update on pictures after we attend the AX. Expect a photoshoot! And I must add that sewing the back is a butt. Seriously. Thank goodness I'm finished with that.

Note: And you know what makes me distressed? DGM is on hiatus again so we won't have more pictures for references. Which is bad since the uniform keeps on altering like crazy and my friend Kato calls me a perfection freak. I am not. Really.

And Allen's earring changed too. What is up with that? Allen! Why can't you keep your gay (Kato's words not mine) blue metallic sphere earring? Geez. Moyashi causes to much pain. But he's worth it too.



....His earring... why.... Sigh. I don't even know what color it is. (Btw, sorry for marking Allen's face)


But anyways, sorry for rambling. As soon as we're done with the cosplay, I will post up the pictures and maybe even amateurish tutorials for people who are curious on how we made the whole thing. Another cosplay update will come soon. (Currently working on shoulder straps at the moment)

OMiGosh!! Someone's Actually Going to AX As D.gray-Man Group?!
Nice~~! ^_^
Me and My Friends are going, I'm not sure if ((Me and my friend)) we'll go as Lavi and Allen, ((3rd Uniform, but we're 14 and we're short! XD)), or if We'll go as Vocaloids.... ((Len = my Friend, Kaito = Me)), so it's still undecided and we're definitely going on a Saturday~ Where are you all going to meet up at? :D

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Omg, there's going to be a lot of dgm cosplayers this year. XD But I'm short too. Allen's about 5'7", I'm like 5'3 or 4"? Sigh. I should stretch myself to grow taller. XD
So a Saturday, eh? Hm. Last year we entered the expo through the west side. But this year we'll enter through the front. Eh? Meeting place? Not exactly. Oh yeah, maybe the arcade. Me and my Kanda cosplayer have a rematch in air hockey to do. I lost last time dammit. =.=

[xlavix.livejournal.com]

Nice~ Hey you're about our height! XD
So then we'll just find each other through our Cosplays? Alright, Arcade it is then~!
I hope I get a Recording of you smothering Kanda's Ass in air Hockey! XD

I am going to AX, but I won't be bringing Lavi this year. Too many new costumes, not enough time. D8 I'll have to take pictures of you guys if I see you, though~. :0

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. There are so many outfits in dgm recently it is hard to catch up. You can see us with a Timcanpy and a very shiny Crown Crown sword.XD

[mirai-noah.livejournal.com]

I'll be at AX as Miranda in the new uniform (although I still have no idea what the bottom looks like). :D

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Do you read the manga from the scans? In the Japanese tankobon, the quality is a lot clearer but I am not sure if the whole uniform is shown because of the overcoat she is wearing.

[mittens-220.livejournal.com]

Not going to Expo cuz I'm not even from the country. XD

But for your info, Allen earring should be the communicator, which should be gold in colour.

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the comment. A few people have mentioned that so maybe I will go with gold. XD Thank you for telling me.

>____< So lucky you guys are cosplaying~!! I always attended every single cosplay event in Singapore but never did cosplay...

I almost strangled my cousin to death when I saw him decked as Allen during a cosplay. The jerk. Lol.

^_^ But I look forward to the cosplay and seeing you guys cosplaying this year!!

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Is there a reason you don't cosplay? Truthfully, we were actually going to do d.gray-man casual because of a tight budget but we then last minute decided to the third uniform. We have almost become poor now, DX.

[ju-ju90.livejournal.com]

Hello!! Hehe. may I know when is the cosplay? and where? If it's in Singapore, I'll make sure to come and take pictures there!! Will also bring some of my friends to take picture. Looking forward to see you in costume!! X3 Gud luck anyway!! =D

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Sorry, the convention is actually in California but we'll make sure to post pictures for you. X3

This is the official AX Dgrayman gathering forum.

There is a gathering at 3pm, go to the link for more info :3 see you there!

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Ah, I did hear about the gathering but our group can't go since we are only going on Friday and Saturday. DX We wish we could go. Me and my friend are slightly sulking at the day choice. SIgh. Oh well, but I hope you guys have fun. XD

[jenybear.livejournal.com]

Damn, I wish i could go to see you guys; though you live in a different country than me...I always wanted to see an Allen dressed as crown clown. I've never saw one, in the two years I went to Anime North. I went yesterday to Anime North (Toronto-technically Mississauga) but i got in free because my friend had an extra ticket. I saw no one dressed as Allen, it was really depressing. I saw some from DGM but it was mostly Kanda and Lavi and Linalee. I actually saw a Tyki and Koumi, and a cool Cross but I was in the car when I saw him walking around....but out of everyone there i saw only one Allen and it was in the first uniform-I was so shocked! But that was the first day of the convention; so I dunno if more showed up. [I can't go all three days its going on]

I would love to see pictures though when you go, especially if ur dressing in his Crown Clown form and the sword looks really good even if it's just in progress. I never saw someone cosplayed as him in that outfit. So i'm looking forward to seeing the end result. Good luck with the rest and have fun when you go!!

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the late reply and thank you very much for the encouraging compliment! I will try my best just for you. XD I'm going to work on the cape soon and I'm currently happy that I got white quilted fabric for the inside part of the hood.

[constance-loves.livejournal.com]

We're going this year as well!

Third uniform: Allen, Kanda, Lavi, Lenalee, and Miranda (might not be 3rd uniform)

I'll be the Lavi of the group! Hee~ <3

Good progress on the uniforms. :D I've been working on them for our group and MAN THEY'RE A BITCH TO MAKE. Can't wait to see how yours turn out!

ALSO, I LOVE YOUR ICON. YESSSSSS UKKKKKKKKKKK <3

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Really? What day are you guys going? It's not on the dgm gathering day is it? My group can't go on Thursday...suu...
And you watch Hetalia too? England makes me laugh. So does America, he does have Komui's voice after all. XD

[loliniii.livejournal.com]

Hi, um I'm new to the community. But not new to DGM of course :].
I saw the post and haha, I'm going the convention all four days..but I'll be cosplaying at a human timcampy on saturday. Maybe we'll see each other xd. Its pretty amauter like, well in my opinion but do wave hi if you see me. :]

[eatnrunbandit.livejournal.com]

Oh really? XD Then I can't wait to see you. I bet your cosplay will be great. XD (Tries to imagine a human Tim)
Of course, I'll give you a very warming hello. X3 Maybe some pictures too? XD

[myntebuu.livejournal.com]

It's a gold earring. But... 8'D DID YOU KNOW? People who wear one earring in their right ear... are straight. But in the left ear, rumour has it that it means the person's gay. :3 (COUGHcloudCOUGH)

8'D It's in his left ear.

OH MY GOOOODD. <33
