7.4.10 | Anime Boston + The Horrow Show
Ohayou/Konnichiwa/Konbonwa!
For the past three months, Dark and I worked till the wee hours of many mornings to finish the obscure Adrammelech and Zalera, summons from Final Fantasy XII for Anime Boston 2010! Twas a lovely con. You can see them in the Cosplay Section under Zalera and Adrammelech. We'll post a con report shortly.
Now for updates. We added the Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Photoshoot and a bunch of other little things around the site.
Ja na!
13.12.09 | Hetalia, Back in the Day
I wish you a good evening, Sir/Madam! A few weeks ago, during the time of spookies, creepies and crawlies, we did a photo shoot as First Empire UK and Colonial US from Axis Powers Hetalia on a glorious autumn day. Thus, by your leave, Sir/Madam, good day.
12.7.09 | Sintra Madness
Zdravstvujtye! (Hello!)
After a year of procrastination, we finally got off our bums, pooled our knowledge and typed up everything we know about the thermo-plastic, sintra (of which we endorse shamelessly). It’s used in prop, weapon, and armor construction so if you have time, please check it out in the Tutorials section under Sintra.
We also added this year's main cosplay, Ventus and Aqua from Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, to the Cosplay section.
Do svidaniya! (Goodbye!)
22.6.09 | Still Alive
Ahoy there, maties!
So it's been a while since we updated, 7/8 months in fact. We've had a fairly busy season what with a myriad of photoshoots, Anime Boston and two more upcoming cons this summer. We have been updating our DA's with pictures as we slowly edited them.
On to business then, comrades! Please take a look at the Code Geass Christmas, Hitman Reborn, Final Fantasy XII+Versus photoshoots in the err...Photoshoots section. So Anime Boston was brilliant as usual (it is such a lovely con) and met some wonderous people. We'll be posting photos and a con report on our Deep Dive Live Journal.
We actually have our summer schedule worked out. Yay! We are definately attending Otakon in Baltimore and ConnectiCon 2009 in Hartford. other than that, we brought the site up to date and might make some more tweaks here and there. Have a spendiferous day/night!
26.10.08 | New Vampire Knight Photoshoot
We've been hard at work cranking out cosplays these days. The complete set of photos from our new Vampire Knight photoshoot this summer is now up! The editing for this photoshoot was rather experimental so they vary from 'realistic' to more fantasy based themes. Check it out!
We're also in the process of getting our Katekyo Hitman Reborn! cosplays [and another surprise one] ready for photoshoots
14.8.08 | All That Jazz
Salutations! With only two photoshoots looming, we are about to retire our FFXIII+Versus and Vampire Knight cosplays. We've already started work on next year's madness. Though by far the most wicked part of this year was meeting a brilliant lot of other cosplayers. <3
In other news we added stuff to the site, little things here and there but nothing major. We're also using our deviantART accounts [venntus & da-rk] effectively now so that's where all the most recent things will be posted. Have a nice day/night!
4.8.08 | A Zombie's Eyebrow
While on the aeroplane, Ven finally got to work on a couple more make-up tutorials so here they are in the flesh...errr...code! Therefore if you have some time to meander through the site, check them out in the Tutorial section by clicking on the sections entitled Zombies and Eyebrows.
Ciao Ciao!
6.8.08 | Tutorials on the March
w Top of the morning to you. In the true spirit of the updating spree, we've added 3 tutorials, one on Storm's wig and two to the makeup section entitled, Cuts and Burns. So go check them out in the Tutorial section because they're pretty spiffy!
6.6.08 | Tutorial Overhaul + Snazzy, New Make-Up Tutorials
Ahoy there, matey! Dark and Ven here on the edge of major a new section entitled Make-Up. This section is featured under the Tutorials section and contains all the techniques and anything we've discovered in the realm of makeup and its application. Enjoy.
On another note, we also overhauled the Tutorial section just to make it more user friendly. It now has a more step by step feel.
Have a splendiferous day, evening, night, or whichever time of time of day you are stumbling across this site.
29.3.08 | A New Beginning!
Welcome to the website of Deep Dive, a spazztacular cosplay duet - Dark and Ven! Ven and I have long been cosplay buddies, but have recently decided to form a group in celebration of well, of course, cosplay.
The purpose of this website is not only to showcase our cosplays and photoshoots, but also to provide a growing resource for other cosplayers. Through our journeys, we've learned a lot from our experiences. We will list some basic resources and stores in our Resources section, but the most helpful of our sources will probably be the Archives and the Tutorial sections. Ven and I will be updating the Archives on a regular basis as we work on each of our new projects. In Tutorials, you can find details about each of our cosplays and tips on particularly sticky sewing or propmaking areas.
In other words, Ven and I just got back from Anime Boston 2008! We participated in our first Masquerade as a walk-on, and we won First Place in Craftsmanship in the Novice Division! It was a lot of fun, and we met a lot of great people and new friends. :D
Please feel free to send us any questions you may have about cosplay or our site in general. However, the fastest way to get in contact with us is through our Archives. Thank you!
