About this Costume
- Personal Thoughts:
- I'd ideally like to shoot this with a car or something, and it was kind of hard shooting this at a con in the woods, but we ultimately decided to shoot around the con venue. The figure is really cute and fun, and reminds me more of Saber Lily, so maybe the arcade...? I like how it looked with the outfit overall, anyway.<br />
<br />
That wig was a story in and of itself. The base is my Saber wig; I liked the color and quality of it, but the shop it's from only sells it as a character wig, so no ponytail clips are sold in that shade of blonde. Anything from Arda or any other wig supplier at cons was too yellow-toned, similar in color to a pigtail clip wig I already had. I wasn't using that wig, anyway, and didn't really want to buy another Saber wig if I could avoid it... so I decided to experiment. I took one of the clips and toned it with Gentian Violet to remove the yellow tones, then added in softer, warm tones with alcohol markers until the extension matched the base wig. It took a few hours, but I'm really pleased with it!<br />

Cosplay is from Nekocos on Taobao. I'd like to maybe shorten the shorts just a tad in the future. c;
I hope to get the umbrella soon, or at least a checkered flag for my next shoot in this~.
