    Yumibara – Shimakaze (Kancolle)

    We got in just in time for the last visiting session of the ship and submarine at the end of the day, and couldn’t have picked a better time for lighting either. We nailed golden hour while shoreside, then pretty much had the boats to ourselves so we wouldn’t be disturbing anyone while taking photos.…

    Yumibara – Twintails agent

    I originally had this idea for a whole mini story told in photos, but real-life stuff meant that didn’t pan out. What we shot ended up being cool anyway, so I’m happy enough with that.

    ANYA – Akiko (OniAi)

    We drove up to Mt Wilson for a nice autumn-themed shoot, though this was more of a lighting experiment than anything else for me. Anya is a fantastically cute brocon imouto!

    Senomiya Akiho (Robotics;Notes)

    Robotics;Notes is another title in the Science Adventure series that Steins;Gate is known for, so I was keen for this one. Not least because Ast and I were were planning to visit Tanegashima where the game is set! In the end I sewed the skirt and acquired all the accessory parts for the costume, but…

    Day 16 – Yakushima

    We caught the ferry out of Kagoshima port to Yakushima, it takes about 4hrs to get there, moving at a solid 19 knots. Had ramen for lunch before setting off, it was these curious black noodles but it was all tasty. We rented a car and drove around the island, exploring some hiking trails on…

    Shirakiin Ririchiyo (Inu x Boku)

    I absolutely fell in love with InuBoku when I watched the anime, it’s so much fun and Ririchiyo is just pure adorableness. She’s a tsundere with all the sharpest edges rounded off a bit, which is great. By a ridiculous stroke of luck, a friend mentioned that she’d seen a pattern for the uniform dress in…

    Noel Vermillion (Blazblue)

    I was originally aiming to make Noel for Smash 2011 but ran out of time to complete her fully, so I fixed her up again and took her to Supanova Sydney 2012 too. I think Noel appealed to me because her blue and white uniform just looks 👌fantastic, and her somewhat introverted personality is relatable.…

    Makise Kurisu (Steins;Gate)

    Probably my favouritest cosplay ever, Kurisu is comfy and easy to wear. In my mind this was the first time I’d gotten everything right, without compromises. To be fair it’s not an especially complex outfit, but it came together well. Plus I got to wear it around Akiba as well, that was nice. Build notes Most…
