Description I'm back!

I signed up for a costume design class this semester, and we're going to design and create four costumes for which we have to pick a theme and center them around. I, being the nerd that I am, picked RPG video games! Hehe, I don't even play video games, but I *adore* the character designs for games such as Ragnarok and Final Fantasy X, so I figured I'd go with it.

This is Arden, the quintessential cute happy spunky character. Leave it to me to design that costume first. And I normally don't name the characters that I write, but these are going to be presented in a fashion show type thing, so I figured it was only customary.

Also, I reverted back to colored pencils for this! Whoopie! Even though the finished product would have looked nice with photoshop, it's still nice to go back to the basics. :3

Haha, I MADE her skirt. This was a design for a costuming class, so I had to piece it together and sew the whole shebang. And no, I don't mind! Go for it.

Excellent job! Very active throughout the entire picture. Very vibrant. I like her expression and pose too, it accents a very child-like determendness (sp?). Plus her coustume and detail is absolutely fabulous. It makes me happy! I just find that her left arm (her left, not your left...er...the one without the bow) seems a wee bit funny. Like it's angled awkwardly. But you know what, I only notice it slightly and it's not anything that can take away from the superbe job done here. So great work, as normal, and I hope to see other great work soon!

Chelsea! I made an account so I could stalk you. Anyway, you never cease to amaze me with your character designs. Can't wait to see it constructed and can't wait to do another cosplay.

Bwah! I *love* cosplay, but I haven't done it that much....I went as Haruko from FLCL and Excel from Excel Saga last-last summer (2002) to Anime Expo. A friend of mine dressed up as Hayatt and we entered into the Masquerade!! It was an *insane* amount of fun.
