Character: Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII Seamstress/Model: ~cupcake-rufflebutt Photography/Editing: *Kuragiman Location: A-Kon 2011
Construction Notes: This is one of those images that I look back on and think, "Woah, I don't even look like myself!" Brian chose a great angle for this shot (I love that you can see my red-brown contacts, the weathering on my gloves and boots, and the detailing on the back suspender), and I'm so glad I got to shoot Tifa with him last summer. In preparation for A-Kon, I had touched up a number of things on the costume that I didn't attend to properly the first time around, such as using E-6000 to tack down the craft foam boot covers and investing a bit more time into securing the suspenders, both of which made the costume INFINITELY more comfortable to wear and walk around in. If you'd like more information on the construction of this costume, please look back through my previous uploads.
You see that white shine in those eyes?
I meant the light in your eyes, wich is shining.....
