... Points to Azureus? Do we get points for something like this? :'D
:iconazureusplz::iconaohc::iconazureusplz:

Well anyways! Cosplayed my character Viveka Ermengilde at San Diego Comic Con 2010. This is my first cosplay, so I wanted to try something that was simple, and Viveka's outfit did the trick, yet remained eye-catching enough. There are some things missing - for example I was unable to get contacts or the dark glasses that she wears, but really nobody should nitpick except myself. ;_;

Most of the items I bought online; the boots came from a shoe vendor who comes to campus all the time ($40.... saw similar boots on eBay for $80+). I altered the vest myself to make it more form-fitting, and the gloves were made of cloth I salvaged from a mini-skiirt. They were hand-sewn, with nylon and some use of bonding tape for hemming.

I know the skirt looks too long (/shot) but that's because my legs are short :'D

I had the most problems with the wig... nobody to style it on, nor did I have a wig head, so I used a bowl on top of my bendy-neck lamp for that. I really didn't want to cut it, but I did feel a bit differently after taking the scissors to it the first time to make the bangs (first cut is the deepest lol). And actually I made the bangs too short... ;__; Styled the rest of it the night before (which... you should not do). Really it was the bangs which gave me the most trouble...
they ARE too short and I keep trying to make them poof up (did that by holding them in place with bobby pins). Also, it was a lot bluer outside than it was inside. It's much closer to Viveka's intended hair color when viewed in places like, say, inside my room.

The socks now have a rip in them :'D I don't think I'll be repeating this one again unfortunately......

This photo was taken by my boyfriend, while I was posing in his car. Should have removed my badge first; you can see it here OTL.
