I saw her by the river

Photographed by Jack Liu
Costume made and modeled by me.

Just to show some range in mood and posing, I did a more relaxed sultry shoot with Jack at Webster Falls. Some of you may recall Solartempest shot some epic warrior photos of this outfit (see below). It was the same day, same outfit, same park, but a totally different feel. That's the great thing about working with different photographers; they help bring out different sides of you .

Costume Notes:
I threw on my red yuuko kimono, a red dress from my closet, and a new red wig I just got from Arda. It's a different look for me, but I really like it ^^.

Sometimes it's nice to cosplay as an original character. It's not as limiting in terms of the range of emotion and poses I can do. Plus no one can tell me I'm doing it wrong except myself. Even though these photosets are different, they are still cohesively the same character. Just different sides of her. Some anime characters can be pretty one-note, but IRL we all display different facets of our personality.
