Yuuki Asuna Cosplay

Yuuki Asuna of Sword Art Online is undoubtedly one of the most loved heroine in the Anime world, therefore, one of the most wanted cosplays for girls *p*



But costume-making for the character is really complicated (according to my Papa who commissioned the whole costume, not to mention he is a little bit on the side of a perfectionist.) The finished product is made with high quality. It is based not on other costumes online but on the anime itself.




Here's a photo of my Light Lambent Sword *u*



..and the Mother Rosario Sword for my friend's Asuna Undine version cosplay. (also made by my Papa)




And this is Le Breastplate *p*




Sorry, we didn't get the chance to take a picture of how we made the costume step-by-step but I'll try to explain it as much as I can in the tutorials I will post soon and also, I'm going to make some basic cosplay make-up tutorial according to how I do it. :)

Thank you for visiting! :3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Cosplay Mania 2013 in SM Mall of Asia, SMX Convention Center which was held last October 6 was my second cosplay (cos-trip). It was a fun-filled experience of course with friends and it also was the first cosplay of one of my work mate who happens to be a very close friend of mine. I was actually the one who influenced her on liking ANIME. One of the anime's she liked was entitled Chobits. Yeah, featuring Chi and Freya.


The Anime inspired us to cosplay them as soon as we can which means RUSHING. Yep, again. But this time, it turned out good. I again browsed online for second hand or brand new Chi and Freya costumes as long as they are on hand and can be shipped within 1 and a half week. An MTO (made to order) shop, ShimaiMay Shoppou offered me an insanely low price for both, of course I went all curious but at the same time, excited. Since she seems nice, her Facebook profile seems legit and there are also other customers, I sent a down payment. As soon as she received it, she said that they will be working on it.

In the meantime, I went to the nearest school supplies stores to look for craft foams/foam sheets. It was reeeaaaally difficult to find them! I thought they will just be in the scrapbooking corner but no. I needed to ask different sales ladies to actually find some SCRAP OF 'EM FOAM SHEETS. Yes, they are all scraps. no cases, no plastics, some are uber dirty so I just selected the last good ones. Of course they gave me a generous discount for them. (hooray for that!) But what were those for? Well, they were for the PERSOCOM EARS. Yep, I made 'em myself and I must say it was fun! I just printed out a random pattern for them online and made LOTS of adjustments.

The day came when we got our costumes that only means ShimaiMay Shoppou is legit! They arrived in good terms of course and I must point out that they really smell nice :) Was it worth it? Yes, it is. It may not be the best of quality but hey, that price is almost impossible and not to mention it was a rush project! Make your own adjustments if want.

 THANK YOU FOR THE VISIT! :3


I am a big fan of Anime and Games and because of that, I debloated my phone to put MORE Anime and MORE games, too! But since I overuse my gadget for watching and playing games, my battery also drains fast. As time pass, I noticed that my charging got longer than usual, and when my data connection is open, even if it is plugged, it goes empty batt. LITERALLY EMPTY BATTERY. I thought at first that there's something wrong with my batt because of me overusing the phone, but when I used a different cable for charging, I noticed that it charges fast even with my data connection on. That's when I realized that it wasn't the batt which is the problem but the charger.

Conclusion? Try changing your charger/cable before buying a new battery! Saved a lot because of it :))

Some months ago, I've been doing some "window online shopping" and I saw this shop called DENZUKE EMPORIUM. Since the comments were all good, and I wanted to cosplay Kirigiri Kyoko from Danganronpa, I asked if they have one. The seller was accomodating and very friendly. Unlike the first one which seems to stand on high grounds with her attitude. When she said the price of the wig, I was a little surprised because of how inexpensive it is (since my former wig caterer offers ridiculously high prices). The price is almost like VRC wigs (though I'm not really a fan of them).



The wig brand is Blue.Beard and at first sight I "fell inlove" with its color, so I went and ordered one. The transaction was smooth, flawless, soft and oh, whatever you can call a perfect transaction. :)



When I received the wig, I immediately opened it even though I was still at work lol. I was so happy because, well what I saw in the ad image was what I got. But wait! There's more! Why is there something hard in the package? Wha-? A WIG STAND?! And I didn't even order one! I was not informed it's a freebie. Denzuke, you are really full of surprises, huh. :P

When I got home, I tried it on and again was happy of the quality. The fibers are thick enough to cover the "wig scalp" (I don't know what's it called but you get the point, right? lol) also, it doesn't easily tangle unlike the ones I previously bought from other wig sellers. It is soft and it has no "rough, crumpled group of wig hairs" near the "scalp" which I always see on other wigs (maybe to cover the wig "scalp").

The softness and thickness are A-OK. Shine factor isn't that bad, too! The following photos were taken with "sunlight through the window" lighting and WITHOUT FLASH.




These are the photos WITH FLASH.






When it does tangle a little, I can just easily comb it and say "BYE-BYE, YOU BEEP!."



Will I re-buy from Denzuke Emporium? ABSOLUTELY, YES!

5 Stars ☆☆☆☆ and four thumbs up for this awesome shop!

NOTE: I am not in anyway, affiliated or "business partners" with Denzuke. This is an honest and unbiased wig and shop review.

THANK YOU!

As I enter the world of cosplay, I learned this one thing. Most cosplayers consider their debut a fail. I am no exception. My first cosplay was all out of excitement and because I have the money that time, and didn't know anything about shopping for costume needs, I agreed to a costume maker rip-off price.. without knowing I'd regret it once I saw it.

The cloth was all shiny and flashy. I don't like it's effect because it does not really suit the character's dress. The headress doesn't match and the dress lacks some white parts, too.

The wig caterer who happened to be the first to accomodate my FB "looking for" post also sells wigs at a very VERY high price (which I have no idea at that time). Another one of my mistakes was ordering a ridiculously long wig. It was too late when I realize, long wigs aren't really advisable. It tangles A LOT, regardless of the brand and is really heavy, I had to adjust it too often on my head. I also received it ON THE SPOT. I didn't even had the chance to curl the it, which I should've done if it wasn't for the seller's delay.

Another thing that proves me as a noob was having "Le Natural Looking" make up. Yeah, the look is okay for everyday activities (e.g.: for work) but NOT for cosplay! I looked like a guy crossdressing as a girl. :/

Haven't got that much of those "Professional Photos" of them photographers because, yeah, I looked like a NOOB.

But like they say, mistakes gives room for improvements! :) And it really does. So don't be furious if you've got it wrong for the first (or second?) time, it's never too late to improve ;)

My first cosplay: Mavis Vermillion

What is Cosplay? (and why do it?)

Wednesday, 18 December 2013
Posted by Yuriko

Costume Play or Cosplay for short. What urges a person to do such thing? What do we gain from cosplaying? Why do we spend thousands for each costumes for NOTHING?

The urge to cosplay usually comes from the love or extreme liking of an anime or a game (or any character of any kind) to the point of wanting to PORTRAY the specific character. It's crazy, yes, but it gives us this irreplaceable joy and also gives color to our lives (being able to be on the anime world once in a while).

What do we gain from cosplaying? What is the return for the moolah we spent? The truth is.. NOTHING. Except for being able to portray our beloved characters who're out of this world, being able to escape our boring everyday lives on earth and well perhaps some of the happiest memories that we will be holding dear for the rest of our lives.

See some of the funny Cosplays made by this people characterizing "HULK" from Marvel. Hulk is strong superhuman character, a beast look but having a big heart. He is one of my favorite superheroes in the field of Marvel Superheroes. One thing i like in Hulk is that he always sacrifice his life just to protect his love-ones by using his ultimate power even he knows "Death" is the price for it.
