YAAAAY I´m back from TNT 22 in Mexico City and it was such a great experience! I specially made a new costume for this event: Esther Blanchett.
I know that it has been cosplayed like 5 zillion times, but I seriously love the character. I´m a big fan of the novels and the mangas. I totally love Esther´s personality. She´s so strong, self-confident and courageous.
The costume was a lot harder to make than expected, because it looks so different on all artworks >_<. That´s why I decided to take the figure version as reference and added the not-really-well-visible-details from different artworks. *LivingDoll2 really inspired me a lot for this costume. She´s my favorite nun Esther!
The location is the Hotel Geneve lobby in Mexico city.
THANKS A LOT to my super epic photographer ~CatoKusanagi and my more than epic Abel ~alsquall!!! Also I´m looking forward that I´ll wear this costume next year again together with *Aigue-Marine as Ion Fortuna !

thank you very much ^^ well depending on the light situation on the set (flashlights, reflektors) and the quality of the camera, skin looks sometimes really smooth and you cannot see the pores. f.e. this is the original un-edited photo from the same photographr of me in another costume [link] also looks very smooth. It really depends on the light. not all loft light on photos is photoshop You learn that when you takes photos by yourself. I am also a photographer and noticed that specially late afternoon light is absolutely wonderful for smooth skin. As well as very soft flashlights.
Oh, I didn't know that. I'm not much of a portrait photographer, so I had no idea! Thanks for that info, it's not often that I hear some technical photography advice/information ;D
