Description
Last Shiva photo for a while, but I wanted to post up this photo of me and the beautiful ~Dramaya because I love it and I think our poses were just right (except for maybe that I look like I am thinking about strangling Yuna) XDPhoto by Anna Fischer.

Shiva: me

Your cosplays are both amazing but I'm really impressed by the smooth blue color on your skin, I can't see any paint strikes and it really looks like you've been dying your whole skin in blue^^ ...And congrats on the bra as well, it may sound stupid but I'm wondering how it's holding in place

Thanks so much! The body paint is a wonderous paint called PAX and it does an amazing job of not showing any brush strokes whatsoever once it dries. If you came up close in person and looked at my skin though, it would have looked almost reptilian due to how the paint dried, but everyone who saw it said it was a cool effect for an Aeon.
The bra is one of those self-adhesive silicone bra cups that you can buy for wearing backless dresses. I just glued fabric to the front and painted it XD This particular set of cups was kind of old so it didn't stay on too well since the glue on the back was wearing off. I threw them away at the end of the day and am planning to make new ones from a new set when I wear the costume next, so I won't have any costume malfunctions ^_^;

That's very interesting... may I ask you how it feels like to have the skin covered with this? Is the skin able to breathe a bit somehow? I'm wondering if it would be good for real life role play, like how would it react to sweat?
I didn't even know such things existed! XD

I actually had no idea paint like this existed either, and I was so happy to find something that worked this well, so I wrote up a guide to it and posted it on the cosplay.com forums. You can read it here: [link]
The paint felt perfectly breathable and I didn't have any problems with it at all as far as moving around or overheating. That being said, I have to add that I'm one of those people that's usually always cold, so if you are a warmer person or have a tendency to sweat a lot (my husband is from Norway, so he's always sweating because he says it's too hot here XD) then the paint would feel warmer. But it doesn't sweat off because it is not water based.

That aside, such an amazing shot, You both look amazing. The amount of detail on the shiva is incredible, and such a cute Yuna.

You... kinda do look a bit murderous towards me. Maybe Yuna had been letting Shiva die in battle too many times at that point. XD
Still love this shot, though.
