Inspiration: I have several reasons why i wanted to do this cosplay: 1 This my way of honoring Al; 2 This was also my way of saying "glad you got to come to A-kon this year," since he almost had to pass this year; 3 Another comfy cosplay! ^_^
It basicly boils down to trying something new while giving Euro a little surprise (which from his reaction when he saw it, he looked pleased!). This is for you Al! ^_^
P.S. The Eurobeat Queen idea came from Al himself! My sleep-deprived, hungry self couldn't help but like that! *lol*
Favorite Aspect: It's a way to honor someone, and be comfortable! So few cosplays can be like that.... And also, several people recognized me for who i was!! It was fun to have some of Euro's friends actually come up to me and ask if I had somehow borrowed his shirt! =^_^=
Least Favorite Aspect: The gloves didn't turn out like i would have liked, but oh well. There's always ver. 2...............
Easiest Task: The pants! I already owned them! And buying the button up shirt.
Hardest Task: Finding reference pics!! It was waaaaayy more difficult than i thought! Too many pics to go through just to find what i needed, especially for his hands!
Hair............. I'm just using my own this time. Shocking isn't it?? Since this is the "female" version (meaning i didn't even try to bind myself) I just did pigtails.
Top................It's made up of a couple of layers. The under layer was easy to find at a thrift store. Outer jacket sewed completly from scratch! It turned out to be the same pattern I used to make Edward's black top with. ^_^
Bottom.............. Already have the perfect pants for it! ^_^
Shoes................ I'll be using a pair I've had for a while that will work.
Gloves.................Couldn't find the exact ones he has, so i'm messing around with a pair, also from thrift town. Sadly the first pair turned out pretty....um........pretty bad, so i have to start over with another pair. It will shall be done before Sunday though.
Props....................Given the time I have left before the con, i couldn't find the exact camera i wanted. SoI just used my own Kodak digital camera!
