THE DREAM IS DEAD.I know this may seem a bit early to some of you, but cosplaying is kinda a whole-year planning event. Especially when it's a group deal.
Basically, are we still thinking on going as Akatsuki? I know we haven't found all our members, but if we could make a decision then I could start looking for costumes and also plan other costumes I plan to wear on other days and for the events I plan to take part in at the convention next year. :D (Can't take part if I don't have my costume planned. :D)
As far as Akatsuki goes, I know I can do Itachi quite easily. It's pretty bland, since he is done a lot, but I really don't wanna cut my hair. :D The most I'll do is straighten and dye it. :D Although I have no idea how to do either. :D
I was thinking that if we could get some more people to join, then if we could find the man-power to create, we could have someone go as Obito and someone as THE ROCK. Not Dwayne Johnson The Rock, but The Rock that killed Obito the rock. :D But it was just something that came to me. :D
In any event. I know it's early, but it's never too early to start planning. :D The sooner we can figure out if we're doing this or not, the sooner things can be planned. :D
Either way, I'll be planning my other costumes. :D
*Note that Orochimaru isn't necessary of the group, but just for fun. :D
Okay so far Akatsuki is:
Deidara - Jordan
Hidan - Peteman
Itachi - James
Kakuzu - Oliver(?)
Kisame - Gregor(?)
Orochimaru - Someone even more mysterious than the leader that Proksa knows.
Sasori - Proksa(?) DEAD
Tobi - Darth Corey
Zetsu -
Leader - Proksa
Unnamed Member - The Wife[Emily](?)

Here is the list I know sofar.
You = Itachi I = Deidara Peter = Hidan Corey = Tobi
I was thinking I could go as Sasori because I have the same hair as him and all I need is the ring and robe, but I really want to go as Deidara, yeah.

Peteman's a Hidan fanman?
In any event, I recall Proksa saying he was willing to be Sasori because he likes him and all. So we can INVESTIGATE, perhaps go-go gadget.
My assumption (dearest hope) is that soon enough, and well before con-time rolls around, the last two members will be revealed enough appearance-wise and personality-wise, enough to get some sort of idea for characterization of them.
In the event of our costumes, all our robes we can get E-Z(wrap). Standard ninja gear like sandals are easy too, and luckily enough Itachi has been in long enough to have most of his jazz out for easy pickings. If the other members don't have stuff released then we'll have to be less lazy and actually make things, which seems to be the more prefered way, actually. :P
In the event of each member's ring, we can mass-order Itachi's ring and just design over the top of it according to each member's colour and symbol.
For each forehead protector, we can look for them. If we find ones that have the country but no slash then we can try and fix that -- Manually. If we run into the event that we cannot find their symbol, we can either wear the closest thing, or make one. Since I work with sheet metal I can just take some from work and we can try to use that, or alluminium. :P From there we input the symbol and the slash. How we put it on I am not too sure, but we have time to cook up something. :D
I'm not sure if this is to be considered lucky or not, but most members haven't actually shown what's under those mysterious robes. Maybe they're just shy or something, but if they don't show some skin or t-shirts and jeans or whatnot by sometime next year, we can just say that Akatsuki bear shorts and brand-name t-shirts.
Either that or we can assume that every member goes around like Itachi, and wears that black stalking stuff. But jeeze I feel hot thinking about that already. :D
But other than that, there is Deidara's hair, which we either swap your shampoo with Rogaine or get you a wig. Also his(OR HERLOL) scope, which I'm still not sure how we'll go about, but either it'll be made somehow and we can buy, or we'll make it ourselves.
As for the hand-mouths, you can just draw lines or something. Clay is available at stores. But really since it's your costume, it's up to you. :D
Other than finding people willing to cosplay them, we need to find a way to make wonderful Zetsu's get-go. As well with Kisame and possibly the unnamed member. Though Shark-face can probably be done by paint and jazz.
List has been updated, then. :D
...but I really want to go as Deidara, yeah. LASWL
Good idea.
I need to start working on characterization of Itachi. :D Cosplaying is pointless if you aren't your character in all aspects. :D

Peter wants to be Hidan because all he has to do is slick back his hair.

And change his hair colour to silver, his eyes to violet, acquire the attire (which just looks like the robe, shoes, headband, ring and necklace pretty much) and find/make his scythe? :P
I hope we can find somebody for Kisame so we can make sharkfood jokes and I can look at him funny. :D

Well we need to think of people we know who like Naruto.

If we ever get in contact with him, I have a feeling Stace may want to. I'm not sure if he'd want to take part in the Akatsuki cosplay though, and more so one of the remaining members. Provided I'm able to go to the first day of school, I'll look for him and if I happen to find him I'll mention it. :D Though if you go too, you might see him too, so it's a double-bonus. :D
If Oliver is free, we could inquire to him if he's interested.
It is possible we could try people through forums (such as the AE forums and jazz) but, I'm guessing this is more of a thing for people we all know in person. :D It's easier that way too.
I can't think of anyone else who is really into Naruto that much that we know of. I guess it's time we resort to brainwashing.
Also, it might be handy if we could get all participants to sign up on to these forums and check this thread regularly. It's convenient for hits. :D And also helps us all stay up to date on info. I know some have accounts already but left, but I'm sure they can find time from Pete's Funland whatnot to Check into Cash. :D

Well yeah, we need to find enough people then find a way to keep them updated, however I am not sure how many people would sign up just for that.

Yeah, but keep in mind the people we are gathering for this are our friends.
It shouldn't be hard for our friends to simply sign up and check this forum every now and then. We're not asking the world of them, as it's the smallest part in taking part of cosplay. :D

Heck, I'll pay for his outfit.
Though I have a feeling he'd feel better making his mother pay, ahaha. :D
Edit: Unless the leader turns out to be like Mr. T or Liberache. Eff doze expenses. At the moment he seems pretty simple, other than the swirly eyes. :D

That sounds like something he would do, yeah.
See, getting into character already, yeah.

If at all possible, it would be neato to find someone to be Kakuzu and Kisame. (Although obviously it would be neatoer to find people to be everyone else. :D) So that we could go around in our stationed teams. (Deidara and Tobi, Itachi and Kisame, Hidan and Kakuzu.) Since the last three are unknown for the buddy system, they aren't really in the loop with that. :D
Edit: LOL now grow your hair and change your left eye.
oh and uh *forehead flick* sorry Sasuke I'll play with you tomorrow.
