This time from Katsucon, so not so long ago.


~~You can see more on my FB page, so please go like my page!!!! [link] It's S.K. Cosplay.
Allll the photos are posted there.~~


I'm the one on the right. This is with Naxul Cosplay, also as The Pioneer(center), although she did a different version than me because I really loved the green trim version. And I didn't use a wig because my hair is the color of the character's...but since it was real hair, it was heavy and pushing the collar down, so I also decided to do the Russian hat/braids version and Naxul did the tricorner hat version because that was the one Ubisoft gave her the reference image for. I would've doen the tricorner hat, loose hair but...that wasn't happening.
And her friend Rachael made an amazing Independent.

Naxul told me her costume took over 5 weeks. I was all crazy though after finishing the Thor outfit in 5 DAYS, so I was like psh, I can do this in time for Katsu if I start right after Christmas, and I'll have time to do my LOTR costume and Sakizou costume too. Yeahhhh. Well, this took 5 1/2 weeks for me too. I had to frantically scramble and make my entire LOTR costume in 5 days. Not sure how I did that...

But seriously, this costume came out amazing. Naxul looks kind of badass here(okay, actually in every photo ever, and she has a really pretty face too) so I think I'm kind of shown up, but in reality I was really proud of this. Everything was exact to the reference images I had, no cutting corners or anything or having to do my own take on it. After months of no sunlight and my hair looking darker at the top, a few weeks of frantic being in the sun and stuff got my hair back to the perfect color for the character- so I didn't have to spend money I didn't have on a wig and be all sweaty all day either. I actually got the damned collar to stand up, even after being told it was impossible. I made boot covers(not the entire boot, but whatever) and glove covers for the first time ever which was cool and means I didn't ruin the boots or gloves. And that rifle was so awesome.

So overall, just a very enjoyable costume and one I felt great in. Even Ms. Fischer acting like I don't exist and was a non-human when I said hi when she butted into a conversation with a friend of mine didn't really get me down. I mean, I kind of knew how she was already, it just proved my point. And whatever, I did look good, and I did do a DAMN good job of replicating the character.

Let me know what you think!!!
And hopefully soon we'll be having our on-location shoot for AC3 as well(as well because I mentioned the Avengers one in the other photo I posted tonight).
