Artist's Comments

Yay! thanks to Jen and Kyle's awsomeness, I got GOOD pictures of my cosplay! ^^

So this Is Fai from Tsubasa Chronicle. It was premiered at A-kon 18 in Dallas Texas. The coat itself was created from the same pattern I used for my Ouran Host Club uniform, only I altered a lot of it. I noticed that lots of cosplayers make the coat go down mid-calf (which is logical because that's how long Fai's coat really is), but I decided to make it go down to my ankles because it gives the illusion that I am taller (CLAMP has taken up an art style were most of their characters are long and lanky). I also used healed boots instead of flat ones to look taller.
The wig was the biggest challenge here (I had only a week until the convention to get one, and all the wigs at the local wig shop were too expensive). I ended up buying wefts of human hair from the wig store, and since the lightest color they had was dark blonde, I had to dye them to achieve the light blonde you see here (I know Fai's hair is lighter, but this was the lightest I could get it). A neighbor of mine assembled the hair to the cap we made, and then I cut and styled it. Since it's human hair, it's easy to style and color.

lol, yes, that is Kyle's hand making a cameo in the photo XD (Poor Mokona kept falling over in the wind)

One day, our kids will be going to school to learn card games, and we will take special driver's Ed. classes so we can duel on motorbikes.....8D

yeah, this was mine too (along with the one of me leaning against that one wall). I picked this one though because it had mokona ^^ (and the wind-blowing thing was kinda cool)

Looks cool. Never watched the series myself, but it looks like an awsome cosplay design
