Cosplay
As mostly I think everyone knows by now, I will be cosplaying for AN this year, and sadly I won't be going as human!female!Paido, as to I have had my mom and a few friends say that it shows too much skin, so instead I have opted to go for the Human!Drejrael costume.
I have most of the parts, and it won't be the same as the drawing per say, since there are a bunch of smaller parts to it that I have edited to be more suiting.
I am lucky to have found a nice wig which is long and will look like his hair. (after looking forever)
Now the last part I have come across is the fact of his eyes.
I want to wear vibrant purple contacts.
to give the effect of his eyes. (I am not expecting to get ones with out the pupil)
[link]these are the best ones I have found so far, but sadly I know no info about contacts so the lingo makes little sense to me.
I know that there are supposed to be some that are more opaque than others, and some that basically meld with your existing eye colour.
I am hoping to get ones that look real-ish, but still are BRIGHT purple.
Anyone who is knowledgeable about that please help!?!
The comic
almost 2/16 pages fully drawn and coloured, and if I keep up on it, I will likely have the first issue of XM done and ready for the main convention I go to, Anime North. I am just working on concepts for the logo and the cover of the first issue, since I have a large amount properly storyboarded now. Hopefully I will get it all done by then, specially with the essays due soon, gads I hate essays.
Will I post it here when it is done?
•Likely not on this account. I do want to make a proper site for it eventually.
Will it be for sale online?
•I dunno, haven't gotten that far yet.
Can I has a copy for free?
•Sure, show up at AN cosplayed as one of the characters, and I'll totally spam you with free prints and a copy of it <3 (maybe even a free sketch)
•Honestly I have a bunch of people cosplaying as some of the characters already, I wonder if I can get a whole party!~ ^^
Thank you~

It's from the same people but it looks like a bright as crazy purple.

Those two have some crazy pattern to it so if you're looking for dramatic.
That's cool that you're doing Drej, even though the Paido concept looked really slick. Perhaps you could do a less-skin-showing version?
I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU WILL HAVE PART OF YOUR COMIC DONE FOR AN. I READ THAT AND SPAZZED A LITTLE. I MUST GET THAT COSTUME DONE NOW TOO, YO.
Yay AN
So, these guys might be good, but I haven't had luck with them.
I dunno where else to get them though, so good luck and bonus points for cosplaying as an OC.
I believe these will still be purple/lilac despite of your eye color ^^ Also if you send them an email, they usually get back to you within a day or two, and are very informative. Like in the description, they're not prescription contacts so you wouldn't need a eye doctor recommendation or sizes, they fit anyone.
I hope you post pictures of your cosplay C: I would love to see how you did Drej, and congrats on finding a suitable wig. ^^
Cause I want people to be able to see the purple of the eyes from a distance, something shocking, and awesome.
And is that site good for time when delivering the contacts?
I believe those will do it, from what I've heard and from my order, the images are usually pretty correct.
As for delivering, I got mine in about a week, maybe a week and 2 days at most after I ordered them since I requested the standard shipping and I just happened to order it on a weekend. The 1st class (standard) is about $2.60, while the fast shipping (2-3 days) is about $10.00, which I found a tad pricy, but granted, it's from the UK.
Hope this helps
Good luck with finishing the first issue ^^.
