Description they had a little pond area at bok tower. in one area there was a jet or something underneath the water, and i thought it looked like something really big was hiding down deep. how... appropriate needless to say we used that to our advantage.

only a few more pictures left!

oh and happy e3 everyone! sony's conference is tonight. here's to hoping for more the last guardian stuff! someone's going to die if there isn't >/

about the shoot:

this shoot was at bok tower in lake wales, florida with beth (gapple photos). i chose the location because of its tower. it's the closest i think i can get (at least in florida) to something like the one in the game. the garden was beautiful too!
but... it was the most grueling photoshoot of my life. it was extremely hot and the costume didn't help. it doesn't breathe at all. thank god beth and her mom brought more water because i went through my water bottle really quick! 3 hours later we had some great pictures, but i also had really bad blisters and about 25 ant bites on my feet from accidentally stepping in an ant pile which itched like crazy the next day, and a painful eye from a dry contact (which got promptly thrown out).
but it was definitely worth it!

Amazingly well done Wander cosplay! The costume is gorgeous, extremely well done and faithful to the original, and you're a perfect fit for the character.
The only downside of these shots, in my opinion, is the colours: a little too bright for Shadow of the Colossus.

i was right out in the sun for these pics so everything's brighter than usual. but after this shoot i really messed up the costume for end of the game wander.. you can see a couple pics in my gallery.

I've seen it... that's a very effective version of the costume, too.
I tought that the colours were edited with photoshop... a little digital tweack would do the job, by the way.

That is indeed an ominous water jet.

The Sony conference is at 1 AM over here (I'm staying up anyway, since I don't really have anything better to do). Hopefully it'll be more interesting than MS' (it was nice to see they have some good games coming out, and Kinect is certainly interesting but did they have to put it in everything!?).

i didn't get to watch microsoft's because i was working... but that's not a big deal to me. halo 4? really? they just won't stop making more.. but i've never been a fan of the halo series.

Yeah, it was all sequals (or rather sequals...WITH KINECT!). Plus the usual "oh, BTW all these shiny new dashboard features we showed you are up and running as of today. SUPRISE!".
