So yeah, I'm not going to be able to pull Kittan off for Ohayocon like I wanted to.. oh well.. I'll still be going as Zack from Crisis Core though! I just wanted to know if anyone here has much experience with "hair dye" ? I know I could just get a wig for Kittan, but if any of you have seen him.. you'll know he has two different colors in his hair and I thought It'd be easiest to just dye my hair the colors ! Okay so yeah most of his hair is blonde, which I've dyed my hair before... I'm just not too sure if I can trust myself to do this alone. So if anyone has any ideas of somewhere that may be Non-expensive or at least affordable that dyes your hair for you (dual colors)? If not if any of you have any experience w/ dying hair yourselves Also, I'm stuck on what to use for the yellow stripes on Kittan's black space suit.. I already know what I'm using for the black suit.. The cheaper under armor will work perfectly for the black suit, it's just with the material it's made out of I can't really sew anything onto it.. or maybe I can? I'm just not much of a sewer since most of my friends have done most of the sewing parts. Anyways, here are pics of Kittan:

For yellow strips just on the shirt or the entire costume? If it's just for the shirt, buy some bias tape (not really tape) to stitch onto it. If it's for the whole costume, you will need to buy at least a yard of fabric that closely matches it and then make it into "trim" and stitch it on that way.
If you need anymore help than that relating to the costume itself, let me know. I can't help you with the hair dye part, you'll have to talk to hubby-kun about that one.

You're welcome. Always feels nice to help out a fellow cosplayer. Considering the amount of help/advice I've gotten over the years from other people, it's about time I started contributing and giving back to the cosplay community. ^.^

I beg to differ. Leeron is made of more win than Kittan! XD

Oh, I don't disagree about that. Leeron is the dude too. Without him they wouldn't have gotten anywhere.. he is the man! But then again without everyone they would have been screwed.. which is why I love TTGL.. everyone did somethin

awww... I didn't think she was too bad. I actually thought she was perfect for Simon. But yeah.. compared to everyone else she was a little lacking.

I never said she wasn't perfect for Simon. She was just annoying in general. It almost felt like when she first came in that she was a Mary-Sue. XD
