Description This is definitely one of my favorite pictures of the set. It strongly reminded me of a piece on a chessboard. More pictures can be found on my ACP Rachel Alucard costume section .

Spam, same spam everywhere. I've already posted this on my Facebook and LiveJournal, but if you like what you see, feel free to vote for me at the ACP BlazBlue Continuum Shift II contest (I'm +Itsuka over there)! I appreciate every person who takes the time to look through the entries and decides to include one of their votes for my entry. :'D <3

I styled the wig and made the outfit myself which includes all the pieces that required any sewing. I had help from ~guyscosplaytoo and ~derishnoL for removing the heels off the platform shoes that aren't too obvious in the picture (it's a little bit more obvious here ). I tried to get Nago done for the shoot, but it was to my advantage that I didn't have the umbrella for a nighttime shoot anyway. ^^' I'll definitely try to get him (as well as Gil) done for Anime Expo and will be cosplaying there with ~JestersLabyrinth as my Kisaragi Jin!

Thank you for the compliments! I saw your Hakumen cosplay in your gallery, so cool!! I wish we could have gotten pictures together at AX! I only wore Rachel for a few hours on Saturday due to other cosplay time constraints, but I'll probably rewear her again for next AX.

This is definitely one of my favorite pictures of the set~ ^^

Fantastic cosplay and equally fantastic setting-- perfect for Miss head of the Alucard house. I really like how the photo frames Rachel between the two towering lights, and how it makes Rachel look so diminutive.

Rachel does look quite sad there, perhaps waiting for none other than Ragna?

Lastly, awesome cosplay. The poofy dress flows out very nicely in this picture. Blazblue, costumes, in general win in my book-- though my "Mr. Hero" costume is out of commission.

Rachel looks exactly like in the game. She watches, observing that which has yet to come. Amazing cosplay!

Voted for you!
This is a nice photo. I like how you are not in the center. Makes a better composition.
Isn't it hard to stand without the heels on your shoes?! O_O

Thank you! ;u; <3 <3
The shoes were actually easier to walk around them without the heels, to my surprise LOL. I think I was seriously struggling with the heels since I'm not use to wearing heels so high (aka. ankles were shaking), but when the heels were removed and the boot covers were put on, the shoes themselves became a lot easier to walk around in. It was kind of like walking on stilts I guess, and when the heels came into play it was like walking on narrow stilts, if that makes any sense. ;

If anything, it was easier to walk around and keep moving in than it was to stand still for a picture, LOL. I had to really maintain my balance if I stood still. XD
