Cosplayers, lets support Japon our way! Prayers from Cosplayers website - [link]
Also, see below how to help making a donation to Japanese Red Cross and other institutions that are currently helping those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

From journal:

Greetings,
(日本語以下）

As you know on March 11th 2011 the massive Tohoku Earthquake
struck Northern Japan. As a small measure of assistance, we
would like to announce a campaign called "Prayers for
Cosplayers" to start March 16th 2011 6:00 pm (Japan time).
Through this we can provide an opportunity for cosplayers
around the world to send Japan messages of hope.

The only requirement is for you to collect photos of
cosplayers holding an A4 size piece of paper with the
Japanese flag and a brief message.
Please access the homepage below to see a few samples.

[link]

This is a unique chance for cosplayers from around the world
to come together impartially and express themselves in the
best way they can. We sincerely hope for your support in this
endeavor.

Sincerely,

Tadaaki "Jacky" Dosai
Edmund W. Hoff

EDIT: Photoshoot is done!!! I used Samus, since she won in the poll!
I took many ideas that you left here!! Check it out! ;*
Thanks everyone! :*








The Valentine's Day is coming, and I want to do something special.
You all know I always like to hear from you, and that's the way I find to show how much your support means to me.
So tell me what kind of Valentine's gift art you would like to see here this year?

I have two character options for you to choose: Samus or BlackCat.

Vote in the poll [link] to choose your favorite, and then leave a comment with suggestions you would like to see in the Valentine's Day picture.
Just keep in mind that the resources I have are just the things I have at home, so do not ask me anything too complex.
Your ideas may be cute or lightly sexy, and must have something to do with the subject.

The most interesting (and workable)idea will be made today, and posted on February 14!

Hurry up, and leave your suggestion in the comments, please!

First of all, I'm fine. All my friends and family are ok. I don't live in any of the cities that were most affected by the flood. But thank you for your concern in this sad moment in the history of my country.


But this journal is about happy news.

This weekend I'll be at the convention SAGA V Entertainment, held in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte in the north of my country.
I'll be there as special cosplay guest, and I'm sure the trip will be great!



The year has barely begun and I already have several conventions scheduled.

But here it is!! The Kiriban winners are...

(Oh, yes! Winners! Two people got the exactly number of pageviews print screen... Again!! )

SO.. The winners are...




  & !!!





Printscreen: [link]

Request is: "An Orochimaru photo! Perhaps something along the lines of 'What orochimaru would do if he was stuck at home'."

Oh well, some yaoi situation crosses my mind right now but... XD I'm not sure If she would like it.




Printscreen: [link]

Request is "I'm not sure if you've ever heard of "Lady Gaga"? She's a pop star very famous here in America, and she has a very eccentric sense of style.  I was pondering if you would do a cosplay of her possibly?"

Seriously, who in this earth haven't ever hear of Lady Gaga? Even my grandma knows Lady Gaga! o/
Making a Lady Gaga cosplay/visual will be a pretty funny challenge!



Both requests are great!



Please guys, feel free to drop some suggestions for both photoshoots in the comments!
Good  and funny ideas are always welcome!!

Kiriban!
This is the second time I'm making a Kiriban.
In the first one, we had a lot of fun...
So, why not do it again?

If you luckly are the visitor 400.000, take a screen shot of it!

Send me a note with the link of the image. (You can post the image of your printscreen in you scraps, or any online image host.)

The person who sends me a screenshot of the 400,000 pageview count (or closer) will be the winner!

If two or more persons gets the screenshot, both win. (Happened last time!)

If nobody gets the 400,000 screenshot, the winner will be the closest number after (400.001 or 400.005, for example).




PRIZE:

(As you know, I can't afford a subscription.)

Should I repeat the prize I did for the last Kiriban (Request for one of the Characters I cosplay in a daily situation), or something like that?

Character in alternatine dress style, maybe?

Suggestions, please!!!

Hi my dear watchers...

Unfortunately I bring bad news. I did not get the visa to travel to the United States and attend the convention.  

Here in Brazil, we have a huge bureaucracy for brazilians to get the visa to travel to the US, and I did not get a visa in time.

The convention organizer was all the time helping me, working in the best way for me to get this visa in time, but unfortunately we couldn't.

So, I would like to say that I am very sorry, and that this unexpected problem made me very sad because I was very excited and waiting for this trip.

But, the organizers have extended the invitation for me to be in next year's edition of Anime Matsuri. And I already started the process again to obtain a visa in order to fulfill all the requirements necessary for obtaining it.

So I think about it as just a delay and hopefully I'll attend the Anime Matsuri next year.

I'd like to thank the event organizers for all the effort in helping me in the process of getting the visa. I also want to thank all the messages that I received from people who were waiting to meet me, and say that next year at Anime Matsuri 2011, I'll be there for sure!
