Photos, Part 2

[ladyofthethread]

Next set of photos includes stuff from Anime Boston and I finally have decent pics of my red Ayame! ^_^ (It’s the outfit from when he barges into Yuki’s parent teacher conference in the manga.)

I actually made that costume for AB 2007 but never got a proper photoshoot of it back then and haven’t worn it much because I ended up not liking how it looked on me. -_- Since I got picked as one of the kings for cosplay chess this year with the costume, I figured it would be a good time to get better pictures and wore it for like an hour on Friday morning.





My brother said he was planning to delete this one since the pose seemed too silly but I told him to keep it since Ayame is a silly snake. :-P






I already undid a couple of buttons on the coat but trying to spread the coattails out made it look like I was sitting on a giant fan. >_>; The cutaway section in the front is at an awkward level and I’ve come to the conclusion that the coat is just a design that doesn’t translate well to real life. Disappointing since I really liked it and wanted to cosplay it as soon as I saw it in the manga. I’d be willing to pull this out again if someone requests it but I don’t see myself wearing it much otherwise. :-/





And we took some Eugenie pics on Thursday evening. This one was taken under an exit sign and amuses me since it makes it look like I have pink hair. :-D (I still haven’t cosplayed a character with unnaturally colored hair after all these years!) The thing on my left is actually the piano in the Sheraton. I really wanted to get pics with it since Eugenie plays the piano in that dress. But it didn’t work out since the lighting there was bad and my brother didn’t pack a flash. :-/




Unfortunately, I ended up not liking most of the other pics; sitting in that dress just turned out to be unflattering. :-/ These were a couple of the better ones.

Wonderful job on both costumes~! I particularly love the Ayame one. He's one of my favorite Furuba characters <333

Thanks! :-) Ayame is pretty amusing to cosplay. I like that he does needlework like me! XD

I just found your LJ, I hope you don't mind if I add you? I adore your work (especially the countless Cound D's you've created) and hope I can get a chance to work together with you sometime!

I love the fabric you chose for Ayane, and your Eugenie is seriously awesome- your details always blow me away. ^_^

Thank you! And sure, you can add me. :-) I remember you from Anime North a couple of years ago and have the couple of Count D pics you took then in my galleries.
