How many stitches do you think it takes to fix a cut that bad?

Feels like it’s been a while, yeah?

There are a few costume projects I’d like to post some updates about but… they’re currently at awkward in-between phases and I just don’t feel like there’s enough material to warrant an entire blog entry, you know? It’d just feel all kinds of half-baked. But not in the delicious cake-batter sort of a way.

So instead of neglecting this place any further, lets talk about the fact that I finally finished that awful “30 days” meme I started last August. If the time passed has been 15 months then I guess that puts it to an average of two images per month. Longest 30 days ever.

If you want to complete it for yourself, then you can find the full list over on Fur Affinity: Korth’s 30 days of porn artist challenge.

When you’ve got no other choice you know you can follow my voice.

The Melbourne Zombie Shuffle was last Saturday so the better part of last week was spent putting the final touches on the costumes.

This year we got a small group together, cosplaying characters from the web comic Maggot Boy. Being about zombies it seemed appropriate- not to mention how much fun MaEmon and I had cosplaying two of the characters (Davey and Owen respectively) at Manifest back in August.

We’re bound to linger on.

What up, losers? Insulting people is an appropriate way to begin a blog entry, yes?

Well, even in the event that it isn’t, I’ve made my choices and am committed to them, for better or for worse. Mostly worse.

Speaking of poor life choices that I’m committed to, Separation Anxiety, is still a thing that is somehow managing to still be happening! The prologue reached its conclusion some weeks ago and first chapter has since commenced.

Updates are still on Thursdays.

But that isn’t really why I’m here today.

With two doors to choose, but only one bears your name.

On Saturday the 5th of May, 2012, I, along with some friends- and a few hundred other people, wandered on over to Federation Square in Melbourne, in full costume, in the rain, in order to partake in AiE‘s attempt to set the world record for “Largest Crowd Dressed as Video Game Characters”.

With 470 participants things were looking promising (the previous record being around 425), however, the rules set by Guinness were quite strict so it would take some time for them to go through and validate all of the evidence. In the mean time they left us with showbags of goodies for our efforts.

Fast-forward one year later and we finally received the good news we’d been waiting for; despite the dreary weather driving many would-be participants away, our attempt had been successful!

Come take my pulse, the pace is like a runaway train.

Costume progress.

After some thought on the matter I decided to slip a couple of (very small) shoulder-pads into the Junior Warrant Officer Schrödinger shirt.

They are hand-stitched in place.

Some people have strong opinions on shoulder-pads, saying that they should not be used if you are feminine or have poor posture because all they really do is end up drawing attention to the fact, but if that were true then only male body-builders would ever bother getting a nicely tailored suit.

This time I’m not leaving without you.

Right now I am in recovery from an uncharacteristically busy weekend.

  • Friday was boring but productive, I spent the day cleaning all the things, wrapping presents and making beautiful artworks for Tech Support. These tasks were directly related to preparations for his birthday which was on Saturday.
  • When Tech Support got home on Friday he asked me a lot of bizarre questions which made little to no sense to me at the time.
  • Saturday was Tech Support’s birthday. He is old now. So old. I spammed his Facebook with beautiful artwork and took him out for lunch to Little Ramen Bar (it was very nice, especially the spicy bamboo shoots).
  • On the way home from lunch Tech Support made me detour to a place which seemed to relate to the questions he’d been asking the previous day. I was made to wait in the car for a few minutes and he returned with a suspicious envelope. He wouldn’t tell me what was inside. Naturally I assumed it contained illicit drugs.
