Description I always loved Hikaru, since I was a child, and the final armor looked so amazing that it gained the first place in my favourite outfits already, as well as the final form of the sword *_* now I finally had the chance to create that sword, build the costume and wear it myself and I'm torn between happiness for finally making the dream true, and bitterness for not making a perfect enough cosplay to properly pay tribute to Hikaru's awesomeness ;c

Questa foto Γ¨ assolutamente splendida, son contenta che tu sia riuscita a farne un po' di belle con Hikaru, anche se sigh, non ti ho vista mentre le facevi!! La spada Γ¨ divina *_________________________________* semplicemente divina! E a me anche le gemme sembrano parecchio belle, ma se vuoi ci facciamo una chiacchierata a tema "resina" una volta!

Grazie infinite!!! Purtroppo quando ci siamo incontrate avevo già tolto il costume perchè dopo qualche ora inizia ad essere davvero doloroso tenerlo addosso. Eh sì, devo decisamente migliorare gli agganci e la comodità delle mie prossime armature XD
Questa foto piace tanto anche a me, merito soprattutto del fotografo! Di solito a causa della mia scarsa bellezza e fotogenicitΓ  i fotografi mi stanno alla larga, quindi doppiamente grazie a Max XDD Per le altre foto devo ringraziare mia sorella che nonostante non sappia niente di fotografia ha tirato fuori qualche scatto davvero carino ^_^
Sono contenta che le gemme non sembrino così schiferrime com'erano dal vero lol, grazie mille dei complimenti, troppo gentile! <3 accetto volentieri uno scambio di opinioni su gemme, resine & co! Eheh

I've got to say - the sword looks amazing. That's why I fav this photo.
As for the armor I agree that comparing to sword it doesn't look as stunning. But the good news is that you have got something to improve . Hope next versions of amor will be better and better ... or maybe just one improved version will be enough .

Thanks very much for the fav! I'm really happy that you like the sword ^^
it was the first time I started such a big cosplay project, I never made any armor or weapon before, so I agree it has its flaws! I'm no expert, so any tips for improving my armor making are greatly apreciated~ :3

Surely you will get it next time or other time in future.
As for tips, that won't be me since I didn't do any cosplay or any weapon. Still practicing sewing .

Yeah I'll keep trying! And even though I prefer building swords or armor, my sewing needs serious training too XD so I'll work hard on that too, thanks again for the comments! ^_^

I always loved Hikaru too *-* She's just so gorgeous, my fav character from MKR My childhood I must to say that I freaking love your costume How did you make it ?! It's just so perfect! Great job :3

LocoAddicted In reply to nikolaska96 [2013-05-07 08:41:51 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Hikaru is the best!
I'm so glad that you like my costume, thanks very much for the compliments! *-*
The armor is made from gym mat, the pauldrons are in gym mat and pvc plastic sheets for the "wing-like" parts everyting was cut and glued togheter before covering it with resin. the sword is... I think it's called polystyrene. I hand sculpted it all with a cutter, sandpaper it and then used resin to make it sturdier. ^^ It took a long time and I wish I had even more, ahah!

Yes I really worked hard, thanks so much! ^^ but believe me, I had no idea how to start it too! XD I did some research on the internet, looking for cosplay armor tips and then I experimented with the materials I could find~
