TROPHY CASE

  • dust

My first cosplay, Black Star debuted at MTAC 2012, had the Kusarigamas made. Need ways to carry without hands by unakiin cosplay

A belt with a holster might work. Just add a strap to a belt that you can fit the handles of the weapons through. Or you can hang it around the back of your neck like a necklace if it isn't too heavy?

No templates or patterns. Everything was created from scratch.

I post mostly about cosplayers I have never met, occasionally from friends and my stuff. If I had to throw out an estimate it's about 10 (others) to 1 (friends and myself). I go through a lot of cosplay sites on a regular basis and I run a few cosplay groups on other sites, so I have a lot of material to share.

Is that a Toby reference?

Sorry, I already have my hands full with pro-bending brothers.

There are quite a few conventions in Canada over the summer, you just got to search for them and plan ahead.

All the accessories are craft foam.

There's always next year.

It's my natural skin tone. It might be the lighting setup plus makeup that's giving you that feeling. Here's a pic of my Yoruichi cosplay for comparison.

I didn't know there was an official cosplayer. I would love to have that job.

Yes, Dolly Eye Blue contacts

They didn't hurt. I don't suffer through contacts, if they are uncomfortable they go in the garbage. Nothing is worth damaging your eyesight.

All materials including wig and contacts, $130Canadian. Although I kept opting for different and better fabrics. The wig makes up almost half the costs.

I made mine out of spandex and I painted on the white parts with fabric paint. You will probably have a hard time finding something in the right shade but it can't hurt to try.

Yes, they are Dolly Eye blue contacts. My eyes are naturally dark brown.
