Description Pixie Cosplay + photo edit:
Photographer:
Here's my first ever proper cosplay (please ignore my pathetic attempt at Harry Potter's Cho Chang). The costume was hand made, besides the Zentai suit and boots I bought (which I altered with paint and sew work). I found some time besides my crazy Major Project to do this and the results were quite worth it!

This was at the Cardiff International Comic & Animation Expo over the weekend. Coincidentally my university was invited to run a booth there to introduce/advertise their courses to do with animation and games. and I were chosen to represent the work from our Games Design course. I was already going, but I guess this gave me all the more reason to go!

Blogged my progress on the costume here: Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3

Speaking of blogs, I got mentioned HERE too by a fellow stall owner!

Nah, it was brilliant the way it was Haha, what are you planning for your next one?
Yes, I am planning to go I can't wait I don't know who to cosplay as though, I'm thinking either Faith from Mirror's Edge, Zero-Suit Samus from Metroid or Alice from Alice in Wonderland Are you going?

GemmaSuen In reply to ImaginaryRoses [2012-06-15 20:19:45 +0000 UTC]

ooo alice! All those characters sound really interesting. I think I might be going as Leo from Tekken (doing a group cosplay), then maybe Azula from The Last Airbender. I wanted to do Luka the Vocaloid, but I don't think I'll have the time for it. can't wait.

Thanks Gill! I had so much fun!!! Apparently the character I cosplayed isn't a very common one, so a lot of Marvel fans were surprised to see me. I miss the pink wig I should just wear it in house.

I love wigs. I bought a white one and it's so pretty! Granted, it's a cheap one, so my dark hair shows through in spots.

Oh yeah! I remember a picture you had with you and white hair, was that the same one? You also had some really cool eyes, don't know if it was contacts or photoshop looked great though! I know what you mean, a lot of the time I practically needed to shove hair towards my face to hide my hairline.

gillianivyart In reply to GemmaSuen [2012-02-29 00:04:35 +0000 UTC]

It was Photoshop. Reminds me of a funny 'commercial' I saw advertising Photoshop as a beauty product ;D I've never worm contacts. My eyes get irritated easily, so would not likely be good for them. But yes, that was the wig! My bf said I looked like my Mom in it

GemmaSuen In reply to gillianivyart [2012-02-29 00:47:51 +0000 UTC]

compliment or...
I've never actually seen adverts of Photoshop, but it does work wonders on photographs! Even this one, I had to add a bit of light on the face because the sun was so strong that day.

It was a fake commercial and they slightly altered the name. It was very silly. It was meant as one of those altered perspective of beauty public service things. Since women have a very negative self image, especially young women. Due to magazines making us all skinny and without blemishes and more perfect than reality.

Ahh I see!
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. I think most people in the UK generally have a good attitude about that, or maybe I just know really decent minded people so I never have to worry about that issue. I see it more on American TV than I do here anyways.

I never read magazines or watch TV, so I have a very good mental picture of my butt being just fine as big as it is ;D
