I'm also floored -- that's likely the toughest piece done for the most part. Even with steps detailed, I just can't wrap my head around the redonkulous effort that must've took. How long have you been doing cosplay? Your prowess there boggles the mind, as usual~. :3

Whoa, that is a cool, genuine cosplay! Are you adding the belt and those little diamond things sticking on the tips of that skirt wings?

Yes! Hunting for a belt currently. :3 And yes I will be adding the diamond thingies! They serve two purposes really- decoration and a way to help ease the corner bias into place so it looks nice from both sides!

Thank you!! <3 I also think this was one of the most difficult parts. I think the most difficult part was getting the BEAST of a shell into the sewing machine. Many awkward moments sewing the whole piece.

The first costume I ever made myself from scratch was Scarlet Sprite (http://forum.project-imas.com/index.php/topic,1646.0.html) and that was back in 2012. So I guess it's only been 2 years! At that time, I had only really been sewing for a year and I'm mostly self taught so I still think I have a lot to learn!

Great news everyone!! It's FINISHED!!





Ponytail and contact lenses will be reserved for next weekend. :3 Thank you for the support!
Look forward to more pictures from my event!

Minori Chihara would be straight up happy. Props for making it this far!

Gotta admit, this is pretty badass. Well done.

Quick question: How long do you think this took in general? Not counting other things like school, sleep, and other things besides this?

Thank you!! <3
That is a great question!

Here's a rough estimate:

14 hours up until creating the skirt tails
6-8 hours of creating the skirt tails and finishing off everything else.

So probably somewhere in the 20~25 hour range for completion.

Jesus Christ, a whole day..... I guess being an artist, whether it be for drawing or costume design, requires a LOT of patience. But at least the process of doing things like this is usually fun. I'd like to assume you at least had fun doing this.

Wow! You look just like your avatar!

But you're missing a little gold chain... *shot*

Just kidding, that's insignificant!

[ZetaFlare]

I'm blown away! That's just beautiful!
I just hope you'll encounter some fellow iM@S fans at Saboten con who know who your character is.

Thanks, I was actually thinking of getting another one, but still hunting!

Thank you!! <3 I actually met some fellow Ps at the last con I was at and we're probably going to hang out again!

Acceleration. NOW.

But dang, that's great stuff. How much did it end up costing you? I actually had my mom make me a pair of shorts, and the fabric was more than I thought it would be.

This is amazing! I thought cosplay was always bad, but now I know I was wrong!

Hehe, perhaps I will. ^_^; Then again...

And actually better/cheaper than I thought. I set myself a budget of $91 (weird number, I know) but it only cost me slightly over $70 for everything (fabric wise). It helps that I had coupons and such.

Thank you so much! ! I'm glad I could change your opinion!

Wow! Your cosplay is beautiful!

Thank you!!


Just made my CD for the masquerade today! ^_^; Hope it all goes well!
Also, because I'm stupid, I'm learning the last 30 seconds (roughly) of Acceleration as part of my walk-on
