We had some sexy interstaters fly in a couple of weeks ago for the Distant Worlds concert, and because we're all enthusiastic horror fans, we decided to do a shoot for a classic game favorite - the Fatal Frame series! It was awesome that not only did we have all the protagonists up to FF3, but we had an awesomely scary ghost with us too.
Thanks Icie for this gorgeous shot!
This was a really nice, laid-back shoot (apart from me being pretty sick with the flu on the day). We didn't have people bothering us like we normally do with cosplays. Most memorable part of the day was when this poor tiny kid saw
K_chan009 lurking behind a grated door in her gloriously frightening ghost makeup and bolted off screaming and sobbing for his daddy DX we probably gave that poor kid an eternal trauma of dark spaces ...
Making Rei was pretty easy. I didn't have to make the shirt from scratch - I just cut up and altered an old shirt that I had lying around my wardrobe that I was no longer using! After I was done making the shirt, I got the arty
xxlittlebirdyxx to help paint the flowery designs on the front. Also kudos to
moonblader and
twinkl33 for helping trim my wig in a rush the morning of the shoot lol.
I probably could have made a much better Rei sorry >< but I did the best I could with the time that I had so I hope I portrayed her ok. So proud of my FF teammates who looked like they stepped right out of the games though.

The heroes of FF1, 2 and 3 at your ghost-hunting service ♥
Also ... just because:
(I really love how
rurumi looks all "OK LET'S DO THIS! 8D" haha)
This has been one of the best shoots so far this year and we're looking forward to doing more of the horror variety! Hopefully next up would be Silent Hill, my absolute favorite horror game series (I already have my Heather costume ready from last year but would love to do a couple of the monsters as well! After all, who can resist Silent Hill? :D).
