Cosplay 30 Days: Day 3
3. Your most recent cosplay.
Okita Souji - Hakuouki Shinsengumi Kitan
Made this for the Sakura Matsuri in April. And yup that's the most recent thing I've finished as far as my own cosplay goes. ^^;; But I will have new stuff for Ota!
I'm also still waiting on more photos of the costume. She only gave me a few so far and I don't want to pester her as I'm not sure exactly how long it takes for her to send the rest but I do hope she does eventually as we did some pretty fun shots and I'd like at least some of the ones of me standing where you can see the whole outfit. But if nothing else, I'll be wearing it again at Dragon*Con with Corey in her Hijikata (its a shame I didn't get it done in time to wear it with the others though back at Katsu). And may just wear this again next Sakura Matsuri because it really was like just the right amount of layers to keep me warm when it got cloudy/windy but not overheat me at the same time.
But it made me happy to do (even if I made it in literally less than a week! O_O;; I didn't sleep much...) 'cause I've always wanted to be a shinsengumi and while I still prefer the Peacemaker version as far as story goes and characterization, Hakuouki does have the prettiest designs for them. At first I felt I should have done the Eastern outfit instead 'cause then I'd be more traditional shinsengumi but chose the Western outfit instead because...lol I didn't want to have to style Okita's hair as his hair is so much easier in the Western one. XDXD That and the Western design was more complex (GODDAMN YOU KOI FISH!).
