Klan Klang - Micron SMS Uniform vers. (Macross Frontier) @ Fanime 2011

I graded Macross F a B- as an anime overall. I really liked the mechs and the shiny fights to song but I really didn't like the Ranka/Alto/Sheryl dynamic.

But Klan/Mikhail were SO cute. SO ridiculously cute. And Klan's hair is so cute! I love huge hair!
And that VF-25 G Valkyrie custom for Mikhail! Sniper!mech? HHHNNNGGG~ * ; * (my bias is totally showing)

Many thanks to SpookyElectric for cosplaying Mikhail with me. ♥

I love Mass Effect. Like LOVE. Seriously LOVE. I've been planning on making Kasumi Goto for a long while but I needed a ME costume NOW. F!Shep's dress is pretty do-able. I won't say easy because weird seams! Like weird! (Particularly, the back/underarm seam.)

I cut my hair so I used a wig for Fanime. Personally, I really like that hair shape. Think I might have my actual hair cut similar like that. I was so happy to see the Garrus but I was so shy I didn't have the courage to stay and chat. /fail

This costume was surprisingly pretty easy for me. (I must be getting used to HTK...) I love my poufy bloomer shape! I experimented with gradient dye. It's very subtle but I kinda like it that way. I also tried using pink insulation foam for the pumpkin and daggers. The daggers and pumpkin stem didn't quite make it. The pumpkin was "fixed" with wire and the daggers remade for fanime from styrene? some sort of thermoplastic I had laying around for another project and super sculpy.

I think I'll make her shuriken weapons for the next MC2 meetup.
