Description 何度でもまた会おうね
愛すること 私が選んだ
君の幸せを 祈り続ける
くもりのない瞳で


Let’s meet again over and over
I choose to love
With eyes that are unclouded
I continue to pray for your happiness

This shoot and outfit is dedicated to my wonderful Sheryl , who is flying back to Singapore for good very soon.

Hey Skye, I remember you said you really liked this outfit, and since it's one of the few things you liked about the movies (ohohohoho), I thought it would be nice to do for you. Sort of to say goodbye. I guess it's a tiny bit like in the movie, where you'll be there and yet not there at the same time for me.

But I've got stuff happening here, and you'll have a lot happening for yourself too always. If there's one thing I want to tell you, it's this. I'm hoping for you to find what you're looking for in life. Not contentment, but utmost satisfaction.

Thanks for being my inspiration, for being patient with me, but most of all, thank you for being my friend. We've had many ups and downs, but I wouldn't give you up for the world. Here's to all of the Sheryl+Ranka (and 3482374279 cosplays) to come, and hopefully keeping the friendship connection always. Love you so very, very much.

P.S. - Sorry for being dead the day after the Sheryl party. 8') I was making this dress and accessories the whole night ;;;

----

Thank you VERY MUCH to Sab for shooting for this and on such short notice! All the thanks also to Teresa for kindly coming to help. This shoot was done at Araluen. All of the greenery, all of the gorgeousness.

Sab taught me how to photoshop/bestowed on me some of her artistic knowingness using this set of photos (all of the thanks, once again), so hopefully I will shop more stuff myself too.

I love it very much too. Ranka looks so pretty and mature in it, and the song it goes with is very poignant too.

Hoshkira is like a reflection of what Ranka's been through and her hope that Alto will return oneday and Sheryl will wake up.

It has much more emotion then Blue Ether.

Intricatia In reply to AngelMeerkat2 [2011-12-05 23:14:00 +0000 UTC]

I completely agree. While both songs are put in the series/movie when Ranka has lost a lot emotionally (especially with Alto), the hope and maturity that come with Hoshi Kira is far greater than the distress and confusion that Blue Ether is about.

I added Blue Ether lyrics in one of the deviations because the person I'm dedicating the shoot to said this outfit reminded her of that song also.

Thanks very much! :3 It was one of those outfits that didn't come out looking exactly like the pics (anime proportions are a bit wonky after all I guess), but I like it XD;

I think it was definitely worth the many hours of sleep that I'm sure you lost making it! XD

Intricatia In reply to LordColts [2011-12-05 14:04:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes definitely, since Skye likes it. I have to admit that it's not very fair to photographers to have a half-sleepy cosplayer on their hands, but Sab is awesome and makes me look good. ><;
