Cosplay through the years.

Description

Yesssss I've uploaded this. I totally got forced inspired to do this because of *xPandorae. This is my whole cosplay history over the years and I could find at least one picture of every cosplay I did. Except for my last one since I have not yet checked the aniway forum I never go on trolololol.

This is to prove that yes I was a horrible noob. Some of the pictures are a bit embarrassing to look back on but here we go anyway.
WARNING ; LONG. FUCKING. STORY ATTACHED. DO NOT READ IF DO NOT WANT.

1. This was me in July 2007, Chibicon. My first cosplay ever (wow I still had blonde hair -shot-) and I was meant to be "Amane Misa", Death Note. Everything was very very interesting but I still had no idea what cosplay exactly was.
2. Orochimaru, Naruto. October 2007 I believe. Abunaicon. Does this need further explanation? Oh the makeup and the party store wig haha. First cosplay I made.
3. Sasori, Naruto. February 2008 I think? At a friend's place. I did debute this in September 2008 with Abunaicon though. Picture taken from ~Sugarhigh-un's deviantart. The cloak was bought.
4. Riku, Kingdom Hearts 2. Debuted September 2008, Abunaicon. Roxas would be ~RachelxNaruto C: Stole the pants from my dad, made the rest of the cosplay.
5. Demyx, Kingdom Hearts 2. I borrowed the cloak but this was debuted in January 2009, WECM. (Winter Efteling Cosplay Meet)
6. Yuffie, Final Fantasy DoC. Debuted July 2009, Chibicon. One big epic failure because I tried to make this one day before the con and I basically had little to no skills (still).
7. Hikari, Strawberry Panic. Debuted September 2009, Abunaicon. Absolutely adored finally cosplaying a Shoujo Ai serie and well.. That love has apparently been returned with all those favs it got. <3 I made this.
8. Kagamine Len, Vocaloid. Debuted August 2009 but officially debuted September 2009, Abunaicon. I got a better wig for it now colour-wise but less volume haha. Made myself.
9. Niwa Daisuke, D.NAngel. Actually I made this cosplay with my grandma all the way back in September 2007 but I had no wig back then and it basically failed that way so I both debuted and retired this cosplay in September 2009, Abunaicon.
10. Kagamine Len, Meltdown. Debuted January 2010, Tsunacon. Wasn't that proud of it, those pants were killing me. Might redo this, might not. Made the shirt and gloves and stuff and cut the wig. I think we can safely assume that I basically made everything from 2008 onwards haha.
11. Not exactly a cosplay but I still wanted to share it. This is a beautiful Yukata I bought in the summer of 2010 when I went to Japan with ~Kiri51 and I love it still. I will hopefully wear it again sometime. <3
12. Sakura, Tsubasa Chronicles. Debuted in August 2010 I think? It was an artwork version that I can't be arsed to find right now. Haha. I made this 3 days before I had to leave for my trip to Japan and made no picture of it, those came a month after I had gone. C: Nevertheless I want to wear it again since I haven't since that day.
13. Another Sakura artwork version. I actually wore the dress way back in April 2010 (Haha I totally made this dress for a school project), then debuted the "sakura" version in early August 2010 but I wore it at Abunaicon 2010 with the staff and gloves and everything. I am not completely proud of it, arghhh I notice the mistakes!, but it's still a nice dress.
14. Kagamine Len, Vocaloid, Synchronicity version. Debuted in August, Abunaicon 2010. Sad to say there won't be a third part of it. But daaaayum that water was cold and scaring the hell out of me with its fishes haha. I still loved to wear it. I did borrow my own pants for this, couldn't be arsed to make them within a short period of time.
15. Alice in Wonderland, Steampunk version. Debuted in Mid-October while I had planned this for April 2011 with a whole group. Which meant I had to sew this within a few days haha. It's still not yet finished! But I am so very happy with how it looks. Skirt will be altered, a jacket will be added and new shoes + wig (when it finally arrives!) and debuted really in April 2011 with a whole steampunk group. <3 What I'm most proud of is, that it's my own design haha.
16. Yami fucking Marik, YGO. Need I say more? I effing love the bastard. <3 I made this completely, INCLUDING GODDAMNED PANTS, except for the shirt but I did have a wig that reached up to my ass and I had to cut and sew for it to be that way. Second wig I've ever styled haha but I got the hang of it. Officially debuted in August 2010, Abunaicon but my suitcase had messed up my wig so bad that I took another chance at London MCM Expo in October. I seriously loved the responses I got, the people I met, and my darling wig. <3 (people in the London subway though.. hahaha.)
17. My latest cosplay. Abracadabra! Yami Marik, YGO. I had a lot of help with this from ~HitsujiAiko because I simply did not get the pattern. A shirt going over in pants with a collar and what? Thank you so much Sarah. :heart: I loooooved wearing this and I most likely will again. <3 I got some.. Really touching compliments on this. So thank you all for that.


THIS. Was the longest description I have ever written. But these have been my cosplays so far, though I am sad to say that I can't show a pretty dress I made for Alice that I wore to a cosplay ball (and got crowned queen with my lovely Chesire Cat *Ray-girl50 as king) .

All I want to say is that I will be cosplaying more difficult and different things most likely after this. But -- That I wouldn't have done this without the support of my family and friends. My dad tells me I look pretty when I prance around as Yami Marik, tongue and all, and my mom seriously changed our vacation because it was on the same day as Abunaicon 2011. My grandma has also been a great support for helping me to learn how to sew and my brother.. Hahaha. Len is Len I suppose. <3

As for my friends. Thank you. I met wonderful friends through this and my true friends never minded me doing this. I am so happy to just be myself. <3 Weird and all haha.

End of superlong description :B


So here we go guys. Everyone knows his epic failures and wins at moments. We all have our ups and downs, wanting to quit and whatnot and sometimes we will. But ; It's all about having fun. <3

Oh man, that's so cool! It's great to see how you've improved and changed characters and stuff... Of course, I first met you at the October Expo... I burst out laughing imagining the London subway crowd seeing you though. :XD: And the Abracabra thing makes me want to lose enough weight and learn how to wear heels so I can do Abracadabra!Ryou. Seriously, this is inspiring stuff! I look forward to seeing what else you do over the years.
