NEW PROJECT: Ayane, Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge

So let's start from the beginning:

Ayane has always been my dream cosplay, but I've never actually had the courage to cosplay her. I always thought that I wasn't good enough. And I think everyone have that for the character they love and don't want to do cosplay about the character if you're not "bringing her the glory she deserves".

And I was planning to cosplay again Elin from Tera: Rising with my sister. But one day I saw in Finnish Cosplay FB-page that there were few people looking group for Dead or Alive. That instantly caught my eye and told my sister. We decided that we really should cosplay as Ayane and Kasumi. I'm not still actually sure if there are going to be proper DoA group for Tracon 2014, but it doesn't matter anymore. I started my costume and I am very happy about it ^^

This will be long post to the point where I am now. So all the updates won't be this long ^^'

Even thought I am super nervous about this costume, but I am still very happy that I decided to make this.

First I got the wig. I actually was hoping that I would get a little bit darker, but i'm quite happy with this one. I think it still need a little bit more styling and such, but I think it fits well for this cosplay.

But let's start with the weapons, shall we ?

At first I drew butterfly wing to the paper for my swords and then I transfer my pattern to Craft foam. I needed to draw for wings, because it's two wing/sword.

Then I did the same thing for my sword:

And yay, they're ready !

I just simply glued the butterfly wings together and done !
I simply drew patterns fro my kunais also. And here is the result after Worbla:

And I also used Worbla for my swords. ^^

After that I made holders for my Kunais. They are still missing details..

..But at least they won't fall off in the middle of convention ^^

And I finished my scabbard for my Fuma Kodachi's. I am quite happy with them.

I'm also almost done with my bodysuit and armors, but I think I'll leave it to the next post ^^

See you soon~

The beginning is always the hardest part..

Hello everyone !
I thought now is the good time to start blog about my cosplays like for real. Because I feel like I am at the intersection and it's good time to grab you guys with me ! ^^

The idea for this blog is that I'm going to try to keep this blog updated about my cosplay ideas, progress, experiences and random cosplay related stuff.
(I already have cosplay blog in Finnish, but there is so much random stuff that I'd like to make this more.. cosplay blog. Here it is if you're interested: meitall.blogspot.fi )

I've been cosplaying since 2007, but I am at that point where I am taking this hobby more seriously and put lots of effort for my costumes and trying my best. I am going to start with my current cosplay that is in progress. This is my second attempt with Worbla and there is so many new things and I've got lots to learn.

I am not a pro and this is my journey to be a better cosplayer. If you wan't to join, feel free to come along with me.!

See you soon~
