<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Welcome again :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I said (long ago) that I would dedicate a post to my wigchoice.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I've searched for some time and I think I found the wig that I want.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I first had to decide what kind of hairstyle I wanted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Long, short, curly, straight, with bangs, without bangs, etc..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I liked a medium wig. I have mediumlength hair myself and I think it would suit the costume nicely.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But my hair is blonde and I want some kind of white or very light grey. Blonde can be alright, but I would only not wear a wig if I don't have a white one, so only in "emergencies".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I searched on google (yay for google again!) for some reliable sites which sell wigs. I prefer to buy from webshops other then those on ebay and amazon. Don't know why, I just do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are 3 sites that came up most:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- <a href="http://epiccosplay.com/">epiccosplay.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- <a href="http://arda-wigs.com/">arda-wigs.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- <a href="http://cosplayanimewigs.com/">cosplayanimewigs.com</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">All three have nice wigs. But I don't know much about wigs so don't ask me about quality :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At first I had my mind set on a wig named claudia:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But later on I found a wig on <a href="http://cosplayanimewigs.com/">cosplayanimewigs.com</a> which is cheaper but which I might even like better:</span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I would have to model the bangs to my likings. Hope I will succeed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This wig is less "full" but I actually like it anyway. Love the soft white color and the curls/waviness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Once I've ordered the wig (which will probably take a while, so don't count on that happening soon) I will post again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Wow it has been exactly 2 months now since my last post!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Oopsie..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hereby inform you on the fact that I'm still alive and working on my cosplay...sorta.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has been busy past few months and I think I still won't be able to post as much as I used to when I started blogging. Nonetheless, I'm still motivated to fulfill my goal (completing my human Amaterasu cosplay).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm embaressed to say that I actually started experimenting a little with pu foam, which is (if I'm correct) just the sprayable variant of polysterene foam. I cut a circle out of cartboard and sprayed on both sides.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I came up with an idea:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Since those foam boards come in packs of about 5 or so(?), I could make multiple props. I'm probably going to be at Abunai the entire weekend, so all three days. If I have the time/material/motivation left to make any more, I could make 3 props! One for each day. One would be Tsumugari, the second would be the Reflector and the third one would be a paintbrush I think.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I could attach the Reflector to my obi using metal wire or something.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Well that was the idea that just popped up in my crazy brain :P</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Cya!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I was thinking, why not blog about how I am planning on making the glaive Tsumugari!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the glaive (I think it's so bad ass 8D):</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img height="320" src="http://okami2.unblog.fr/files/2010/12/apae410.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="207" /></span></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Amaterasu wielding the glaive Tsumugari</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So you'd probably think: Seriously? You know this is impossible because of all the floating objects?</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Yes, I know. That's why i'm gonna cheat a little ;) I'm gonna attach the cloudy things to the glaive itself, this will make it one piece, but that's okay.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this is the plan:</span></div>
<div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First I will be cutting the base model of the sword out of a
block of insulating foam board. I will try to already carve as many details in
as I can. When that’s done, I will cover the model in plaster cast. The stuff
is not too expensive and not too hard to model. It’s actually more like
wrapping the model in plaster cast. Any dents will be filled with regular
plaster after the cast is completely dried out. The method I’m thinking of, is
just put a bit of the paste on the prop and smear it out with a flat object
like an old gift card. The regular plaster can also be used to apply any more
detail to the prop. When that’s dry as well, it’s time to sand. I will probably
use sandpaper as I do not have any other tools that would be appropriate (not
sure if any exist to be honest). The next step is to apply at least one layer
of paint on it before I can start on the real paint job. Maybe I will put 1 or
2 layers of the ground color of the sword underneath it. For example: I will
paint at least one layer of pure blue on the prop as Amaterasu’s glaive is
blue. The cloudy things will have a yellowy layer underneath the visible layer
of paint. When the final layer of paint is all done, I will finish the prop
with some varnish. For the clouds, I use a matt varnish. For the rest of the
glaive, I will use a shiny/glossy varnish. I bought them for just 1,50 euro.
This is just a little over 2 dollar. I got three bottles, two of the shiny
varnish and one matt. Each bottle contains 80 ml. According to the label, you’re
supposed to paint 3 layers on the painting, or in this case, the sword, waiting
for 2 hours after each layer. Once 24 hours have passed the prop should be
water resistant! Sure hope this method is gonna work out!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And as always: if you have any tips on propmaking or some
advice, feel free to share! :D</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I noticed I haven't really told you about all "accessories" yet, so I'll tell you about it today! :D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First of all, I am so sorry for not writing in such a long time. I have been busy with school, got some tests 'n stuff, and there are a few yet to come, but I guess I gotta feed you something ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">ALRIGHT! Let's get back to what really matters: the costume!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or to be more specific, as I already told you, the accessories. What I mean with accessories includes footwear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The accessories:</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1I3NK99IqYQqKRuZuLV5MLAx5HBWTlF3sS3UCu202r9M5nzn_TxCwsAbQ8gPVZtw1TS_-DdZ8OGfDzx-en9NwO8H8NVEN9ea1sTQfX_DLDIEBiIEVWBo6Xp4p09kz9xnGHwf1hbPtQDc/s1600/accessories.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEju1I3NK99IqYQqKRuZuLV5MLAx5HBWTlF3sS3UCu202r9M5nzn_TxCwsAbQ8gPVZtw1TS_-DdZ8OGfDzx-en9NwO8H8NVEN9ea1sTQfX_DLDIEBiIEVWBo6Xp4p09kz9xnGHwf1hbPtQDc/s320/accessories.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Of course there is the wig too, but I want to have a post all about the wig and the face paint.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here is a list of the accessories I'll discuss in this post:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. the "shoes"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. the socks X)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. the leg warmers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. the gloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Let's start with the footwear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. The "shoes"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I sure as hell ain't gonna walk on my bare feet right?! Nope, and to make it fit in with the kimono, I decided to go for geta!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Geta is some kind of wooden flipflops :P It's a real western description, sorry XD</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are more kinds of geta than just one, but I am still doubting about this. (Really thought I figured everything out in detail, but I calculated what this cosplay was gonna cost me and decided to see what I could save money on.) At first, really liked these geta: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">(Let me know what you guys like best!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But there is also another kind of geta, and I am sure you have seen these somewhere. A pair of these geta have a very simple design: 6 planks and 2 thongs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I would never have thought of it if a friend of mine came up with the idea (thanks!) for making them myself!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is the link he sent me for those who are interested:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pair-of-Geta-%28Wooden-Sandals%29"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Pair-of-Geta-%28Wooden-Sandals%29</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So if I decide I want to spend less, this is a good alternative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I could always paint it too by the way! (These things are so obvious, yet I don't think of it, or think of it after way too long..)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. The socks</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Right, let's get on with the next item. The socks. Or tabi, actually. Why? Because these bitches are made to be worn in footwear with a thonks between your big toe and the rest of the party!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tabi</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Traditionally these aren't worn with these geta. One is supposed to walk on them with bare feet. Like the western flipflops. But as some areas of the con-hall might be cold, it would be wise (ha me and wisdom) to wear a pair of socks. It would probably be a little more comfortable as well as I will be walking (litteraly) on a pair of wooden planks. I feel like the only choice in socks I would have is whether I will be wearing green or white tabi. Kidding, white of course. The tabi in the image above are made from some kind of silk or satin fabric? I dunno, it is really comfortable (I have a pair here, just not the right color). But the ones I'm going for are cotton ones, I pressume the same kind as average socks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. The leg warmers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Something I really want to add are leg warmers. I just love 'm. I want them to be red. Now I can think of 3 options on how to get these:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1, just buy them!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2, buy long red socks and cut the bottom half off.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or 3, make them out of the left over red fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Why would I even consider the second option? Because I prefer them to be a little tight. Huge wool leg warmers just aren't right for the costume! Not sure if leg warmers are at all, but I'm prepared to give it a shot.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. The gloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Really doubting about where I want to get these, maybe I should try to make them myself? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I saw these awesome gloves on amazon.com:</span><br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Serenade-Length-Fingerless-Stretch-Gloves/dp/B00B02LBIW/ref=sr_1_19?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1379890065&sr=1-19&keywords=long+gloves"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">http://www.amazon.com/Serenade-Length-Fingerless-Stretch-Gloves/dp/B00B02LBIW/ref=sr_1_19?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1379890065&sr=1-19&keywords=long+gloves</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But I see two disadvantages here:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1: There is a chance that the color could be just a little off. Would be a shame.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2: It's satin. This fabric might look beautiful and it totally does, but if someone were to take a photo with flash, it wouldn't look good, as satin is shiny, therefore reflecting. This could ruin a picture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So maybe I will just make something like it. Again, out of leftovers from the red cotton I will buy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this concludes my post on my planned-to-use accessories. Maybe there will be an update on this subject. Who knows!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks for reading!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today at school I made some sketches (I was kinda bored XD). I just drew them quickly and without any extra lines (I mean the ones you erase later on) so you may notice that some bodyparts might be a little out of proportion. (Don't kill me please! D: )</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here are the drawings:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Today I'm going to tell you what plans I have for crafting the glaive I want to add to the Ammy-costume!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The reason why I chose for a glaive as "accessory" is just because the glaives are BAD-ASS. They are my favorite kind of weaponary in Okami. I always have at least one glaive selected as soon as I can in the game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">There are two glaives I really find amazing, the're so pretty 8D </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ahem.. The two glaives I'm talking about are Tsumugari and Blade of Kusanagi. Since the first one, Tsumugari, seems like a more achievable to make item, I decided to go for that one.</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3xI6VhHjyr7EG64AlGH_uchmPX253jLCPq-WYUOkm8Wzd-uWcwCNxFhmrKgzrio5yKsikHhWqMgU024d02-Eng2EzKHpCpzQ-i32UdDHsCtdqd8as9YMWaltu0GUv5ycGnomdWWkKmcQ/s1600/200px-Tsumugari.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz3xI6VhHjyr7EG64AlGH_uchmPX253jLCPq-WYUOkm8Wzd-uWcwCNxFhmrKgzrio5yKsikHhWqMgU024d02-Eng2EzKHpCpzQ-i32UdDHsCtdqd8as9YMWaltu0GUv5ycGnomdWWkKmcQ/s1600/200px-Tsumugari.jpg" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Tsumugari, the first glaive you get in the game</span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I started searching on google (yay for google!) for methods to make a glaive. I had two demands:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. It had to be quiet strong, I didn't want it to break or anything the moment I walk in the convention hall, or accidentaly would bump into something with it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. I didn't want to feel like was solid lead, I'm a small person, I can't take that much! Like: I know I cosplay as one but I'm not a real goddess y'know..</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With these demands in mind I started on my journey to The Solution. After a bunch of searching for methods, materials and translations I think I found the perfect solution:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First craft the glaive out of some kind of foam (will the common polystyreenfoam do?) and then put a layer of celluclay over it. For those of you who don't know what celluclay is: As far as I know it's some kind of paper mache meets clay.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't think we have it in Holland but as long as I can't find it here, I'll focus on buying it on the internet. I found out that amazon.com is a good one for that. As for the foam, I'll find it here, no problem.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am aware that celluclay might have some weight, but it is the best I can find, which is also affordable for me. Afterwards the glaive has to be painted of course, whether I'm spraypainting it or just use acryl paint. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a question by the way: since I'm gonna wear a "kimono" which is almost all white. I don't want any blue marks from the paint on my clothes of course. Does spray paint get on your clothes if you rub it against it? Or should I just use hairspray or something on it?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Anyway, thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So as promised I have a sketch of the costume. It's not a picture of one of the sketches I made like I said but I just quickly drew the front of the costume.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So excuse me for the badly drawn ...drawing :P </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So here goes:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's really poorly drawn, but it kinda remembered like: Oh shit! I promised this! Alrighty then, let's just make it quick XD</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This hereby I am ending today's post.

<span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here's an update of some ideas I had in mind for the costume</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So I already figured out a while ago, okay some two or three weeks ago actually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I already made sketches, ideas, picked the materials I'm gonna work with and I actually got all detailes figured out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Usually the main part of the costume are of course the clothes you're gonna wear. Sure, you can go around, walking with a keyblade but that doesn't make you a Sora/Roxas. But if you would dress up in for example Sora's clothes everyone will recognize you...or at least, most will.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">:s drifting off again..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My design for the the costume is a kimono with very broad sleeves (not exactly a traditional kimono for that would be too complicated for me, so the basic kimono-design will be modified). The length will be to the middle of my shinbone. On the kimono I want to make some red marks, like amaterasu has and some extra.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I only want the marks on the sides of her torso to be on the kimono. Beside that I want some extra marks which I came up with myself (I'll post a picture of one of my sketches in another post as soon as I can)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In the next post i will be showing you what other ideas I had in mind, because there's more than just a kimono!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope you enjoyed reading this post and for now:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So long!</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog! </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This blog is about my first cosplay-adventure and the entire process. </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Excuse me for any failures grammarwise >.< </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm Dutch so my English might not be perfect.... </span></b><b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Back to the point (sorry ;] )</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'll be posting on this blog about my first cosplay until the end of august 2014.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I'm doing this cosplay for a convention in Holland, namely Abunai!. (Yes an exclamation mark, it's supposed to be there).</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The character i'll be cosplaying is Amaterasu from Capcom's game Okami.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I chose this character because I LOVE the game. It's one of my favourite games because of the style and the beautiful storyline. I would recommend it to anyone who can get their hands on a playstation 2 or a wii. Okami is all about the Japanese culture and it's mythes and legends. Amaterasu is the main character in the game, she is the goddess of the sun. (Not just in the game.) In Okami she is a wolf and since I cannot turn into a wolf (or anything else for that matter) I'm going to do a gijinka version (human version) of her. Of course one could make a fursuit, but that's just not what i feel like to do. I'm not going to say anything else, since I kinda wanted this to be an introduction to this blog...errrr it's kinda long for that, but what the heck! Just hope any potential readers don't mind! :D</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thanks for reading!</span></b><br />
