Expomanga Sunday Cosplay: Ikkitousen

Hello everyone! Long time no see! I promise that now that the rush for the exams and the cons are both over, I´ll be updating this blog with more cosplay stuff, from tutorials to just random pics of my cosplays and other people´s cosplays.

I´m going to start this out of order, because I want to dedicate a slightly larger post to my Saturday cosplay, and I still need to look up nice pictures (I ended up epic failing at taking pictures at the con....luckily I got lots taken).

On Sunday (The 13th?) I was initially planning to cosplay Youko from the 12 Kingdoms anime and novels. I´ve always wanted to do that cosplay, and have spend a pretty penny buying jade beads and such to make nice accesories.

I wanted to do this version.

Unfortunately, we had a heat wave this past weekend, and it´s only now that the tempreatures are edging back (in fact, we´re going to have a cold snap this weekend....crazy weather). As you can see, Youko wear 3 top layers and 2 bottom layers.....which is not compatible with 30ºC+ weather.

In a last-minute change, I was forced to speed-sew something much much cooler which would allow me to wander around the con without fainting (or getting many pictures taken, really).

I teamed up with my friend S and we cosplayed from Ikkitousen. It´s a manga also known as "Battle Vixens". The name says it all, right? I cosplayed this girl:

Her name is Choun Shiryuu.

And here is the one picture I´ve managed to get taken of me.

Not bad, not bad. Must learn to raise my leg higher. The wig is white, but.....I don´t own any grey ones. Most of the figures tend to favor whiter hair anyhow.

I plan on taking a few more soon; ones that properly show off the skirt´s pleating. It turned out really nice, in my opinion.
