"If the truth could be discovered through fighting one or two battles, then we'd all be going through life without ever being wrong. A person's life isn't so simple a matter that it isn't. The true answer is something you find out yourself by how you live your life from this day onward that it is."

(fyi, no photoshop, that be my actual chest !!! )

After cosplaying for 12 years, I have finally cosplayed one of my all-time favourite characters! I guess a part of me wanted to wait until I was a bit older, but I also think there was a part of me that didn't want to cosplay him until I felt I could be happy with myself cosplaying him. I just saw the live-action movie this week also, which was the deciding factor to speed up doing this shoot! ^_^V

I am happy with how this turned out - it was a last minute decision to do this shoot - made the Kimono top in a couple of hours in the morning, zipped out to buy red ink to dye the hair 1 hour before we had to leave for the shoot and cut the wig as I was running out of the door! I was also very fortunate that a replica sword store happened to be located 15 minutes from where I work, who also happened to have the reverseblade for sale! *happy fan is happy*

The scar I used a thin application of latex to give it a bit more of a texture - but I didn't have the right scar colour bodypaints or make up Next time, I'll have more time to prepare!

My thanks go out to *cielroses who did the photography for this in FLASH!
Like seriously - 15 minutes shooting, 5 minutes getting in and out of the botanical gardens while trying to hide my Katana in my Hakama....very awkward walking with a Katana down your pants I can tell you that! ) and to Straw who made the Hakama for me for my Hakuouki cosplay a couple of years ago
