I wanted to cosplay Yuki... but not the default school uniform. I saw this illustration and thought it was cute so decided to cosplay that.

I learned:
Commercial patterns do not agree with me without some alteration.
Joann's broadcloth is sucky.
I need to learn to put on make up. (as of 2011, this statement still applies)
I need to learn to style wigs. (as of 2011, this has gotten a little better)

A pretty easy costume using leftover fabrics.

The wig is actually a halloween wig! But it's a pretty good one.

Spacecoyote sent me a little marker drawing of Lan after I cosplayed him. ♥

Saturnalia was a pretty cool webcomic by spacecoyote. It's in pretty much on eternal hiatus but it's wonderful how successful spacecoyote has gotten!

I hope to support her comic Yokaiden through cosplay eventually too. x3
