Description Hey, I'm the older brother here. Shouldn't you be looking to me for advice? Why am I not the Kazekage?!

...because I am more handsome!

Our Gaara and Kankuro cosplays for Oni-con 2011.
For some reason I feel I look very short in all of these!
Natural hair style, just dyed. Updating it to a wig for next con.

Gaara is:

Hey, blame Kishimoto, not me! Lol. He isn't the most practical with his designs.

How did you attach your gourd so nicely? Mine's been kicking my ass :/

Shoooot, I don't even know! It just somehow managed to work out after typing my belts around the middle a lot and making it a side shoulder pack. It was really hard and made me wish I fiberglassed it and put in some drywall screws or something. I always have to balance it on one hand/my hip when I walk or pose with it. (for poses I position it and balance it on my hip a bit)

Yeah, mine's pretty heavy and gaara's genin strap isn't tight like his vest in older versions so it's very hard to attach! I ended up having to hot glue a strip of vinyl over a D-ring (in 4 different places) and attaching hooks to my strap so I could take it on and off. My gourd is like, 25 lbs :/

Holy crap man what did you make it out of?! XD That is heavy! Mine is 5lbs at most, if that.

Thank you! We really worked hard on them.
I actually re-made the entire coat for my photoshoot this weekend, so we will have even better photos of these cosplays soon!

Love it Such a detailed and great cosplay! Doing the Kanji on your forehead was pretty hard, wasn't it? (I can't even write the Kanji properly on paper...)
Really, Kankuro doesn't have it very easy... older sister and a younger brother who are both (much) more popular than him... Now I get what my brother must feel like C:<

Thank you! And it was annoying to draw on since I had to draw it from just a reference since my stencil didn't work out well. I would just buy the temp. tattoos but many of them are too small...

Poor Kankuro, he deserves more love! Next shoot we have a Temari so perhaps we'll do some photos shoving him into the background. XD

DeathNoteBB In reply to nekomatalee [2012-01-30 19:48:41 +0000 UTC]

Ah, sounds really annoying I am pretty glad that all tattoos I might have to draw are easy motifs and that I can draw those with my right hand easily.

Great idea! I'll look forward to them
