Artist's Comments

I wasn't sure what category to put this in.

This is a collage of my friend and I cosplaying as Abarai Renji and Kuchiki Byakuya, from the anime Bleach. We made the entirety of our costumer ourselves. Seriously, all we bought was the raw materials. We made real kimono tops and hakama. It was hard!

I made the background in Photoshop. Bleach fans will note that it is based on the background used for the closing in one of the early Bleach episodes. My friend and I are also doing similar poses to what the "real" Renji and Byakuya do in the closing sequence.

So it's not perfect. It was tough to duplicate the poses, and I had to collage two different photos, and we don't look much like Renji or Byakuya in real life, but we tried. (btw: I'm cosplaying as Byakuya)

Info about how we made the costumes is here.

Thanks! My friend says we were the best Renji and Byakuya there. There were a lot of store bought costumes--but we made ours by hand. We were really proud of ourselves.

Hiya! Thanks! Another Byakuya fan! Great avatar

Store bought costumes do suck pretty badly. :bleh: Did your friend use a wig, or did she dye then style like you did?

My friend used a wig. To try to get her hair to stick stright up like that (anime characters sometimes have pretty improbably hairstyles don't they?) we needed to use glue, and she didn't really want to do that to her own hair. Yick.

Glue in your hair would be a pain in the ass to get out.

yeah, that's why we decided not to, but even with the wig and glue, getting those points to stick up was a major pain... how does Renji do it? And if his hair is ever down, it just flops right down around his shoulders... you'd think, based on the ponytail, that it would stand out in huge spikes and the reason he has it in the tail is so it doesn't... beats me.
