Commander Sheperd - Alison Gunn vers. (Mass Effect 2) @ Katsucon 2011

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

Mana Kuzunoha (Tenjou Tenge) @ NYCC/NYAF 2010

I wanted to do a cosplay with my friend Dokudel. ♥ I asked her who she would like me to cosplay and she chose a character from her favorite anime Tenjou Tenge.

I only had a yard of the plaid fabric to work with for the skirt so it's much shorter than the "official" art. I rationalize it by saying the length changes often in the anime. :p

Rue (Magna Carta II) @ Otakon 2010

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.

Amunet (Assassin's Creed II) @ AMA 2010

I really enjoyed playing the Assassin's Creed series. Personally, I liked Altair better than Ezio. (Ezio is pretty stupid, imo.) But I have no confidence in pulling off Altair. But there are a few female assassins in Assassin's Creed 2. A couple who are not "courtesans" even! Iltani's outfit had a neckline that was a bit too low for my taste so I settled on Amunet.
