Description As Jason put it, an example of "when an accidentally overexposed picture goes right."
Sadly, no Magitek armor though. We shot in what must have been a couple of feet of snow and 35 degrees in my incomplete Terra, still, I'm very proud of how this came out. I'll post more details of the costume when I'm not suffering from post-con plague (though I'm dying to post the silly shots of me trudging through the snow and getting my boots stuck lol)

Thanks to Jason and Vince for braving the cold and snow to get some epicly awesome shots! Argueably one of the best shoots of the weekend.

Shot at Katsucon 16, Washington D.C.
Terra from Final Fantasy VI
Made and modeled by me

That wig is GORGEOUS! My favorite FF character of all time, you did her great justice with this fantastic cosplay. The softness of the cape is especially magical <3

Thanks very much! I wanted it to be subtle, and soft colors so not to clash with the already busy prints of the dress and sashes.

You look absolutly wonderful. I love you interpretation of Terra. And the shot is just gorgeous. Glad the snow was useful for something other than making travel a pain for people

I wish I could have run into you when I was wearing my celes, but oh well. Your Terra looks spectacular ^_^

Vince has a bunch taken outside, I wonder if you bugged him he'd cough up a few? LOL

idolatrystudios In reply to etaru [2010-02-17 02:52:44 +0000 UTC]

Here's a better idea, have him show you them, you tell me if there's a usable one for this project amd then we'll BOTH bug him for it. LOL!

The over exposure really works for this costume1!! It really brings out the vibrant colors. It was really great to meet you (although briefly xD) at Katsu!

You and your girl were awesome to meet and hang out with, makes me want to visit the east coast more often
Also, your photobombing of Vince on Saturday night was amazing XD

saraqael In reply to etaru [2010-02-16 19:56:01 +0000 UTC]

GOOOOOD I'm sorry I felt so bad about that photobombing afterward because neither he nor the adorable Evangelion girls looked even remotely amused. ;__; It was so great to meet you both though! And yes, you should definitely come to more East Coast cons!

etaru In reply to saraqael [2010-02-16 21:13:48 +0000 UTC]

I think he just didn't recognize you out of costume, and was really out of it

I'll sure try to, I didn't get a chance to party it up with you and Ginia so next time we must, or else...! *shakes fist*
