Angel Beats!: Yui

angel beats! cosplay - yui from comiket 2010Initially an assistant to the band “Girls Dead Monster”, Yui is hyperactive and talks extremely fast. Hinata finds this very annoying and often argues with Yui, but they truly care about one another, convinced that if they had met before they died, they would have fallen in love with each other. She wears shackle bracelets, a devil tail, and wings that make her look like an imp or devil.

So cute! I really like the series’ design for their uniforms. I wonder what her shackles are made of? Thanks again to Sammie for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len

Megurine Luka, Hatsune Miku, Kagamine Rin and Len are all part of the second installment of Vocaloid, a voice synthesizer that has hopeful song writers create several Japanese songs in different genres. Miku was the second to be released in the series, followed by Rin and Len, and finally Luka.

I’m wondering why the girls are all wearing similar outfits. Is this from another song I have yet to hear about? Thanks to Padme for sending this!

HeartCatch Precure!: Kurumi Erika

heartcatch precure! cosplay - kurumi erika from comiket 2010The daughter of Fairy Drop's shop owner, Erika shares a love for fashion and design just like her mother. She is an energetic girl who bluntly says what she’s thinking. Erika has a jealous complex towards her older sister, whose beauty and fashion sense made her a Charisma Model despite still being in high school.

Cute cosplay! And I really like that little plush of her fairy, Coffret! Her wig is gorgeous too. Thanks to Ophelia for sending this!

Unknown Entry 068

unknown cosplay 68 from comiket 2010I originally thought this cosplayer was from the game Steins;Gate because she is holding a pamphlet featuring Makise Kurisu on the cover. I think I am sadly mistaken, because I wasn’t able to find any character listed that bears the same description.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks to Femi for sending this!

♥ Cvy

Ryeain:
I first found out about Cvy was her Soul cosplay through deviantart browse.
I'm surprised to see such look a like of Soul .. her expression is priceless!!~
I've been away from cosplay for a period of time. And when I came back and begin hunts for awesome photos,
Her Steampunk White Rabbit blew me away .. AGAIN!
and knowing that all the costume and props are all made by her ... *SALUTE!
You guys should check out her gallery.. trust me, you'll blew away by the details she did on her costume and props !! ~




✩✩ INTERVIEW SECTION ✩✩

Ryea: What is COSPLAY to you?
C: An extensive display of what you love in a series or character.


Ryea: When do you first started to cosplay?
C: 2003


Ryea: How many characters have you cosplayed so far ?
C: I don't count them xD


Ryea: Which is your favorite character that you've cosplayed?
C: Many. To name a few it would be Soul, Death the Kid, Sandplay Rin etc


Ryea: Which is your first character?
C: Gaara from Naruto, my love for him was so massive he was the reason why I have started cosplaying.


Ryea: Which characters is in your future cosplay list?
C: Rin, Len and Miku, oh damn, is all Vocaloid


Ryea: Do you make your own costume & props ?
C: I made most of them from scratch. Is much easier naming ones I didn't made; Okita's shinsengumi uniform, Finland's uniform and Ciel's coat and shorts carousel version - base was made but I modified it to accuracy later.


Ryea: What is your favorite part when cosplay?
C: When it is a successful portrayal, and if you are in a team made up by friends is a huge bonus because is terribly fun.


Ryea: Any memorable experience when you cosplay?
C: I went to Taipei for a cosplay convention and it was so different from our culture. They are well-mannered and organized, we have so much to learn from them, especially in cosplay etiquette. But I can see Singapore improving year by year.


Ryea: Do you salute/idolize any cosplayer? Who?
C: Mostly friends XD Like Kanasaiii, Shuui and Lenneth. But I salute many other (or any other) cosplayers too for their superb efforts/workmanship.


Ryea: Any tips to share ? *for those new cosplayers
C: Think of cosplay as an entirety:
-1- study the character you should love, its costume and mannerism
-2- a good, proportional and accurate costume with the RIGHT materials
-3- a good styled wig
-4- an appropriate makeup accordingly to the character
-5- a photographer to help you do justice to your hard work and capturing a shot that is convincing in portrayal.

You have to think of the whole picture and not missing anything out as much as possible. Is a lot of work but it will be worth it, believe me.



and 3 super-random questions :

1) Do you have a pet?
C: Nope

2) How many pairs of shoes do you have now?
C: I have to deliberately point out that I have 5 pairs of Converse shoes

3) What is your least favorite colour?
C: Green


Ryea: And lastly, what do you think about Let's Cosplay~?
Love the image in your header. Look forward into seeing more interviews.


Thanks so much, Cvy !!~

Assassin's Creed: Ezio and Altair

unknown cosplay 67 from comiket 2010I know I've seen this somewhere before… I just can’t seem to put my finger on it. Aren’t they characters from a game or something like that? They look like nomads roaming the desert.

If only I can get the answer which is currently on the tip of my brain. Thanks again to Dellia for sending this in!

EDIT: Whoo, spam comments! But the first one who got it right is JfnCloud! Thanks for the information!

Macross Frontier: Sheryl Nome 04

macross

In the prequel manga, Sheryl is revealed to be the daughter of a couple residing in Macross Galaxy who actively opposed mandatory cybernetic implants by the government. They were ordered to either be captured dead or alive by the authorities for treason. Her parents were killed for their resistance, leaving Sheryl to spend a part of her childhood in poverty until she met Grace O’Connor.

Beautiful cosplay! This probably took a long time to put together, with such amazing results. Thanks Lain for the photo!
