This Life For Me Changes Everyday


So, for when I get around to adding this costume to my website, the first picture is usually a "matching shot" that matches the reference picture (see here.)

Which do you like better?

Number one:



Number two:



Okay, so, next bit. Since this was just a quickie shoot, it's not getting it's own photoshoot page, but I am going to pick six more pictures to put on the webpage when I create a page for this costume. I'd love for you guys to vote for:

1) a second "matching" shot to go with the second paragraph (see my Original Concept Sailor Mars page to get an idea of what I mean). This should be whatever your favorite shot is, and

2) your next five favorite shots to put under the "Photos" section. Heck, I'll create a poll at the end of this entry to make it nice and orderly.

Number three:


Number four:


Number five:


Number six:


Number seven:


After reviewing numbers three through seven in the camera, I realized that 1) my wig wasn't necessarily behaving in some of them, and 2) that my eyes were squinty in others (even with the sun behind the house, the sky was still REALLY bright.) So I retook some. IF you voted for any of the ones above, please don't vote for the ones below, and vice versa.

Number eight:


Number nine (Turn me on, dead man):


Number ten:


Okay, enough of the reshoots. Back to new poses.

Number eleven:


Number twelve:


Number thirteen:


Number fourteen:


Number fifteen:


Number sixteen:


Number seventeen:


Number eighteen:


Number nineteen:


Number twenty:


Number twenty-one:


Number twenty-two:


Number twenty-three:

It's too bad I'm making such a goofy face in this one because this just might be the best picture of my wig, ever.

Number twenty-four:

"To infinity...and beyond!"

Number twenty-five:

"For the honor, of Greyskull!"
(We had lost our minds at this point.)

[info]gaijinotaku has informed me that, "Also, I intended that to be "By the power of Greyskull." You're Utena. You don't have to be pigeonholed into chick roles. LOL"
Which, I knew at the time, but damn it, I like She-Ra. However, Marvel is the artist, and I should respect his vision.

Number twenty-six:


Number twenty-seven:


Okay, now the poll.

Special thanks go out to [info]ssfseiyakou and [info]moradoshinigami for making me such a beautimous costume, and to [info]gaijinotaku for shooting me even though he felt like death warmed over that day. I love you all!

High-res versions of any of the shots are available in case anyone's feeling particularly inspired to make me any CGs or icons or anything. Thank you!

I'm too half-asleep to read all the rules and do the poll right now, but I just wanna say for the moment that I really love #20. I also really like #27, but I'm simultaneously baffled by it because if I had seen that like... on Flickr or something, I don't think I'd have realized that was you. xD Something about the angle makes your face look different I guess... *yawn*

Thank you. <3 I think #20's my favorite, too.

It's my ONE cosplay skill. I can't sew, but something I do either with makeup, or my face, or something, that I can look completely different from myself. I guess my face is as mutable as my gut? Heh heh.

24 and 27 were picked by me because they show parts of the costume most people neglect. The back and the medals. The rest I picked because I like em and you look awesome. =)

I see this as a win-win situation for both of us. You make a costume, any costume, it doesn't even have to be one I'm interested in. You pay to ship it to me. I take pictures in it. I pay to ship it back to you. (Unless it's one I want for myself, in which case I buy it from you.) You sell it. You get your work modeled and hopefully sold, and I get more pictures for my website. How's that sound?

It sounds like an amazing deal.

BTW - Steph wanted me to tell you that you look very sexy - and she likes #16. XD

I studied with the best. <3

Speaking of which, after all this wedding nonsense is over, I desperately need photo playtimes with you, it feels like we haven't done a photoshoot together in FOREVER. Got any ideas?

You look wonderful in all of them, Beautiful! It was really hard to pick. And i don't think you look goofy in 23. I think it kicks ass! Also, I intended that to be "By the power of Greyskull." You're Utena. You don't have to be pigeonholed into chick roles. LOL

Thank you, handsome. ::kisu::

And i don't think you look goofy in 23. I think it kicks ass!

::laughs:: All right, to be fair, so do I. I just wish I looked less smiley-growl and more serious-growl. Need to work on that.

Also, I intended that to be "By the power of Greyskull." You're Utena. You don't have to be pigeonholed into chick roles. LOL

But it's not like She-Ra was a damsel in distress! Ah, well. I'll change the entry to reflect the artist's original intent. ^.^

I really, REALLY like number 8. You really look in character for that one. <3 And heck, I like #23! You're going for the "kill"!

Thank you so much, hon! And thank you for voting--I can't wait until I have free time again and get these shots up on the website!

(I like #23 myself, I just think I'm smiling too much to really look like I'm going in for the kill--which IS what I was going for, but I started grinning at my own silliness.)
