WC Week Tifa

Tifa WorldCosplay week will also be extended into two weeks! So next Monday there probably won't be a blog post.

The first Tifa cosplay I made was for my sister around 2009 and then the second one was for myself in 2013, both of them were Advent Children version.

My newest Tifa cosplay is from the game when she's at Don Corneo's place aka the Wall Market dress. This one I made for the cosplayball event.

I like her a lot as a character and someday I want to make her other game outfits, her original outfit and cowboy outfit. The only one I'm not interested in making is her childhood outfit.

The Advent Children version I have has not been photoshooted and the pants need to be redone so I might have to redo the whole thing before there will be any pictures of it...

I'm back! WC Week Riku

Finally back home and it feels like I'm more exausted than energized...
The cosplayball went well! Got some pictures taken and had fun goofing around mostly around the photostudio as Tifa Lockheart!

 And as for WorldCosplay, Riku from Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance version! Boy this one has lots to tell but has already been told aka click on the label Riku and you'll find all the old blog posts that I've written, in which you'll find lots of yummy pictures~, but I'll sum it up in this post just in case... I made it for a competition and it's one of the cosplays that I feel pretty good about but it doesn't really suit me, I knew it wouldn't but I just wanted to make it so badly! Later that year the awesome Xen took some awsome pictures! Which I believe are the best pictures ever taken on any of my cosplays!

And tomorrow I need to hurry up with my other cosplays for Desucon Frostbite! I ordered some new wigs and hope that they'll arrive in time...

Tomorrow Cosplayball!?

What? No WorldCosplay pictures this week? Nope sorry guys! I'll be leaving tomorrow for two weeks, staying a few days at my friend's place in Helsinki then spending Christmas with my family and then a week in Estonia for the New Year! But you can expect new pictures to show up on the fifth of January!

Anyways! Last year PKSC organized a cosplayball and I cosplayed as Rinoa plus Seibai as my lovely hubby Squall, SQUEE! They are also organizing it this year and it is tomorrow!!! Click here for last year's post!

Last year Rinoa was made pretty much on the day of the dance party which made it a little uncomfortable to wear since it could have been done a lot better. Well this year I pretty much have it all done, except yesterday I screwed up my dress!!! So now I have to redo it! Luckily it is quite a simple dress and hope I won't make the same mistake again... But the reason I am a bit panicking is because I do have a lot of other things to do! Last year I was able to make it in the nick of time, partly because I lived 20 minutes by tram from the place but now that I've moved it takes four hours by train to get to the city and I'll be gone for two weeks so I have to clean and do a lot of other stuff! So I need to get everything done in time!

But this year's dress is gonna be Tifa Lockheart Wall Market version!

Now for the big question: What color is Tifa's dress? It's a simple question, at first I thought it was purple but looking at other cosplayers they always have blue dresses!? So I started wondering, Cloud has a purple dress so why would Tifa also have one in purple? Just another shade of purple? Maybe it's different color in the US version or PC version? For the anwser I decided to use Photoshop as my guide, I took a couple of screenshots from youtube videos of the scene both PS1 version and PC, which were pretty much the same color. It's kinda deja vu problem, Kiki's dress!!! A color between blue and purple!!! After zooming in and using the eyedrop tool I'm still confused about the color, but it is definitely blue but with a hint of purple. In the end this color is a pain in the ass to find in a fabric store... And so my dress will be blue also since the selection of fabrics sucks here... I'll just have to work with it!

Feels and unexpected!

Desucon was a few weeks ago, the first Desucon that I didn't attend to, and really happy about that!
As I see pictures of amazing cosplay, especially my friends whom seem to get better nonstop, I feel like I'm left behind...

Even thou I've lost a great deal of weight from since I started cosplaying and now others have started to notice it too, I'm really happy about the comments but as I look in the mirror every day I see myself fatter than before, even if I'm buying smaller sized clothes I'm still the ugly me. No one is perfect but I'm far from normal, it hurts to see others how great they're looking as I embarres myself.

I started cosplaying because it was fun, to gain friends and I did! But now...all this pain...I'm lost...

Cosplay no longer holds the strong meaning of happiness for me as it did in the past. I'm not saying I'm quiting! I just don't enjoy it as much, knowing that I'll get more hurt by it.

Oh I was at Kawacon in Joensuu! I was working for Manga Café so I was mostly behind their table..
It was a very quiet convention, which was kinda sad but I still had a great time with Milla, going swimming and stuff!

Also almost done with Tifa!

Cute hotel!!!

Delicious cake at con!!!
