Source: Kyungup Hyun's illustration Hours to Construct: 200+ hours Worn at: Anime North 2006 Status: Active Award(s): Best in Show, Best Master workmanship
Inspiration: Seeing the amazing graphic render, it looked so impossible that I had to make it!
Favorite aspect: I really loved the wig. It's from Japan and the fibres had three different shades in it. Glad that I didn't have to dye it myself!
Least favorite aspect: The costume was time consuming and tedious to make. I never got around to fully finishing it...and I don't plan to finish it any time soon...so many hours spent on it already! The surprising thing, is that I made most of it in just a few weeks before its debut!
Hardest task: The armor and the weapon. The leg armor too (if I rewear it, no leg armor for me!).
Comments: I thought that it would be an obscure cosplay, but quite a few people recognized it to my surprise!! Definitely my best and favourite cosplay at the moment :)
