Description As my watchers know, I've been rather busy as of late... I've been saving this photo for a rainy day like today! (Español debajo de inglés)

This photo was from Otakon 2010, just before we left on our epic adventure to Baltimore early Friday morning. This was the first time I wore this cosplay, and now, it's funny to see how perfect the armour looked before I really beat it up...

Look for me in this outfit as Suki (Avatar: The Last Airbender) on Sunday of Otakon 2011!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Como mis observadores saben, he estado demasiada ocupada actualmente... ¡estaba salvando esta foto para un día lluvioso como hoy!

Esta foto fue de Otakon 2010, anted de salir para Baltimore la mañana de viernes. Era cuando llevé este disfraz por el primer tiempo... me parece cómico que la armadura falta muchísimas grietas, jaja...

¡Ve para mí por domingo durante Otakon 2011!

I'm in love with those arm guards (and the sleeves)!

Thank you very much! They're a bit of a pain to put on, but it's surprisingly comfortable as long as it's not too hot!

Avatar cosplay indeed! Portraying characters from this series is so much fun!

I'm glad to see people aren't just sticking with the basic outfits too, lots of secondary and alternate costumes.

*nodnod* Definitely agree! Things get so much more interesting with different versions around.

Thank you!

Aww, well, I hope you get the opportunity in the future! It's a ton of fun, and you learn a bunch of new skills if you make it yourself.

Absolutely! I learned how to gather fabric, sew buttonholes on my machine, how to use spray-dye, and how to simulate leather using cheaper materials from this costume! (In addition to a ton of stuff about makeup lol).

I've had the chance to use lots of power tools for prop building too- you'll see that cosplay completed this summer.

Believe me, I can't wait either.

Hopefully I'll have a full shot of the major prop here in the next few weeks...

Thank you! Those were very fun to make, haha. They actually do protect your forearms rather well!

I think I was smiling in all of mine... XD (But it makes sense for Katara, I guess.)

I was thinking about fixing up my Avatar Kyoshi cosplay (making a headband that doesn't suck, re-doing the fans, better belt, etc.) for Otakon this year, but I don't think I'm going to be able to go this year.
When you go, have fun!! I miss you~ haha

StarsOfCASSiOPEiA In reply to RaventailBlacktalon [2011-04-14 10:18:48 +0000 UTC]

I'd say go for it! I need to fix a TON of stuff on my cosplay, lol. Certain pieces are falling apart, and I definitely need to re-do a few seams...

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear that. But even still!

I miss you too!

RaventailBlacktalon In reply to StarsOfCASSiOPEiA [2011-04-17 02:05:07 +0000 UTC]

Good luck fixing it!! I was impressed with it when I first saw it and I still am, hahaha. XD Give it that TLC it deserves~ <3

Hopefully I'll get to go to Otakon again sometime, it was waaaay too much fun! XD

StarsOfCASSiOPEiA In reply to RaventailBlacktalon [2011-09-29 18:42:14 +0000 UTC]

Wore it again for Otakon 2011 and had a blast- think it might be time to pick up a new cosplay or two, though. (Mostly because I am not up for re-doing that armour again OTL)

I hope you can too!

I couldn't make it to Otakon this year (another, closer, cheaper con won out haha), but maaaan, it would have been awesome to see this costume again! I bet it was a lot of fun again. ^___^

I can't wait to see your future cosplays!

Love the costume.

Buuut. You totally need to capture the "I'm a girl and I am totally better than you at everything" look, haha. Perhaps you can find someone dresses as Sokka and have him with his arm tied to his ankle? Haha.

Hahaha, believe me, I have shots like that. This was the whole Mum going: "Awwww, smile and let me take your picture before you go to the convention~! You're so cute, pretending it's Halloween..."

But thank you!

Ahahahahaha YES. I'm hoping that my crazy Sokka friend from last year will be back so we can take photos properly this time. >D

Thank you! And I agree, Suki is severely under-cosplayed. Precisely why I figured I would give her a shot!
