But in the picture the lighter one is somehow emphasised by the hair colour. Perhaps look at it with the wig on before you decide?

what a clever observation, that's an excellent idea!

I'll put the top aside until the wig arrives.

Omfg awesome Tzu!

I will check back to see the awesomeness!

Looks fine in my opinion, as the colours don't need to be exact. Look at movie costumes that originate from comic book characters, or concept sketches. A lot of the movie costumes and shades of colour change for theatrical appearance in film. Superhero movies being one genre for example.

At the end of the day you can still see what it's supposed to be.

That is sick looking. Amazing! Can't wait to see the finished product.

AngelWJedi · Feb 25, 2011, 06:16 AM // 06:16

very cool! cant wait to see the end product. and that black wig is kinda scarey! D: reminds me of the movie The Ring.

There are tons of various anime/comic/video game/sci-fi conventions around the world, and there's always people cosplaying at them. I've even won a couple awards myself, though Tzu obviously beats me out there

I cosplay less now simply because I haven't got the time to work on costumes, but my fiance and I are making plans for an epicly awesome cosplay for ACen next year - he wants to be Ezio from Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood, and I'm going to be Caterina Sforza from her portrayal in those games (namely her AC2 version, I like that dress better). It will be amazing, and I can't wait to start on those costumes.

cosplayers come in all types and sizes as you may know---sailor bubba?? (I used to do some of the cons around there a while ago---did a no face waaay back and a tare panda costume--dont know if you were around back then).....

and Tzu, couldnt you just use those daggers on the other arm?

(and yeah sometimes having long hair comes to my advantage--no wigs needed here as I can sit on my own locks).

Olle · Feb 25, 2011, 09:04 AM // 09:04

This is looking amazing!

Calaval · Feb 25, 2011, 11:04 AM // 11:04

Looking forward to seeing the finished product, your work always amazes me. Any pics of Shiro yet?

I think maybe the underlying armour piece is a different shape for each arm.

Also lets see the pics of your cozzies ^^

I remember a few No Faces from a few years ago, actually, so it's possible! And I know Sailor Bubba quite well - he's actually one of my staffers, haha.

I totally agree with Angel Killuminati that it doesn't have to be exact, and you should go with what you think looks good

Since the darker shade is what you naturally went for, I'd stick with it (assuming it looks good with the wig as Aero suggested XD)

That sounds like so much fun for ACen! I actually looked up conventions and found Sakura-Con in Seattle that has cosplay so I'm going to try to go to check it out. I'd love to go as one of the Inuyasha girls for it, but the deadline on the costumes in March 31, so I doubt I'd make it in time. At least I can see what other costumes there are so I can plan ahead when I have more time. I am DEFINITELY dressing up and going to PAX this year! I was so upset that I didn't find out about it until they were full D: I've never been to any kind of convention so I'm really excited about going to one this year >

Unless people don't dress for PAX... because then I'd feel silly D:

Verene · Feb 25, 2011, 05:32 PM // 17:32

Just so you know, Thistle, you don't have to sign up for the masquerade or anything like that to dress up for a con. In fact, the majority of cosplayers don't ever enter anything like that

Morag D · Feb 26, 2011, 09:12 AM // 09:12

wickid :3 this is gonna be amazing!

unfortunately there are no daggers on the upper right arm

Are you actually doing Shiro at the same time too, or just Vizu first?

that shows you how closely I looked at the pic

(and as for pics from my cosplay days--they are on regular film since I had no digital camera at that time, and I have no way of putting them on the internet--so sorry no show and tell time here).
