Torso forms displaying Meer bodysuit~

"Alita_99 said...
Can I ask a special request? I'd love to see you wearing the bodysuit without the skirt. I hope you do not think I am perverted for thinking you are sexy and make for a great anime girl. ^_^ Meer is one of my favorites too."

Alita_99 gave a an idea. I kinda like the new Meer bodysuit as well, I suppose its ought to be good enough to pass of as an attire on its own, like a swim wear(As I was originally considering a shoot for). Since I'm in a rush to fix everything needed for a full swim wear shoot(need to wash the wig, its in tangles from the last shoot still), I thought I'll just take a torso shot of the new bodysuit.

I added some manipulation and effects to the torso shots to make it look as if it was a torso form displaying the bodysuit... hehe. Had to pose like one, was the first time trying to be a torso form. And there you have it, the bodysuit without the skirt, displayed on a table top~^_^

Metallic Meer Campbell costume~^_^


This will be my final Meer Campbell attire. I've taken a small shoot to test the new costume and it looks (and feels~) great(to me >_<). How do you find it compared to the previous version? I actually have two complete Meer costumes now including gloves, cape and skirt. The designs are slightly different so I ought to take pictures in them to show everyone sometime. For the sake of this preview, since the new (custom)bodysuit is shiny metallic, I chose to wear the original skirt with is made from satin to match its shine~^_^ The gloves are the new pair.


As you can see, the new bodysuit is in turtle neck styled covering me all the way from the crotch to the neck and exposing the shoulders like a halter neck design. I specifically requested the tailor to make it this way as this is what I imagined the actual design from the anime is like. In the anime, the skin area under the neck is not exposed when the cape is lifted so I reckon that this is the only way it can happen. Its also little tighter than the former bodysuit material, so it holds down the busts a little more >_<... The little golden portion at the crotch is also placed lower which got covered by the skirt, I'm afraid that I can't pull the skirt any lower to reveal it without letting the skirt fall...

Well take a side by side comparison between the former and the current... hehe. Which costume do you think is nicer? The one on the left is the former design, whereas the one one the right is... I personally prefer the new version especially since the sides are made better. The white portion is actually also metallic white but it cannot be seen unless very close up. After all, the new design is what I would imagine it should've looked like if taken right out from the anime. What I really liked is also the shine of the new suit, I realised that on camera, it actually looks like latex. It is truely metallic lycra I assure you. Oh one more thing, the former design is wearing the older cape design, perhaps it will be noticable when I post more images of it next time~^_^ Thanks for reading~

New fanart added~


Randle has submitted a futuristic themed fanart. It is also his second "Space Girl" named fanart... hehe, what a coincidence. Since it is wallpaper sized, you can also see it in the wallpaper section. It somehow reminds me of power rangers and... the background is quite well matched with the theme. Quite a job well done on the editing and manipulation part. Its fantastic. Remember to drop in to check it out.

Chun Li bracers making report added~

It has been a long time since I wrote an article for the "Reports" gallery. I just made a pair of bracers for my Chun Li cosplay and I wrote a full report on how I did it. The report can be found in the "Reports" link on the left. As I just finished them, I haven't had a chance to try them on in cosplay yet. I however did try them on for a test and they looked fine in my opinion. I dare not touch it too much as the adhesives have not completely dried yet. I look forward in using them and I'll post the images here once I get any. Do stay tuned ok~^_^

Two new fanart wallpapers added~!!!

Two new fanarts have been added into the fanart gallery. And since they are also wallpaper sized, they are also included in the wallpaper gallery~^_^ These fanart are "Victorian" themed by Randle. From the picture, I would guess that its the age of steam and early machines where people still wore fancy and elegant dresses. Hehe, the blimp kinda reminds me of Led Zeplin... was that spelt right? >_< I like this fanart very much, I hope everyone likes it as much as I do too. Thank you Randle~^_^

In case you're wondering, the two images are subtly different. You have to look at the full sized versions to tell~ hehe
Remember to drop by the fanart gallery to check it out~<3

Visibile bustline effect~^_^

I always loved the anime style bustline of female characters in tight fitting costumes. What I meant is illustrated below. On the left would be the side view shape of how the bustline on a real person will look like when in tight fitting clothes. What shape I will like to obtain is the shape on the right. It is shaped like a tear drop and better resembles the shape of a woman's breast ^_^;








In anime, tight fitting clothes somehow cling so well to the women's body, that the fabric will actually wrap under their busts. This is not natural in real life ...unless some trick is applied to it. ..hmm >_< Below are some pictures of my attempt to get that look.

If I hadn't pointed it out, did you noticed the lines running along my sides @_@... I managed to get two tear drop shaped bosoms and with a distinctive V shaped line in the middle. I was hoping for a more distinctive droop on the underside of the bust where the bustline ends. It is so hard to force the shape out... real life clothes are just not stretching at the right places... erm or "anime clothes" places.

I guess its close to what I had hoped for, close in comparison with a Japanese anime figurine's bustline. Perhaps I just need to alter it a little and put more strength into forcing the shape out >_< ...hehe. What do you think? P.S. Please don't ask me for my technique, its trade secret >o< ...but you should be able to get a clue from the images ...*wink* Let me hear what your guess is~ maybe I'll give you a reward for the right guess~<3

Recognise these?











What does this pair of white balls remind your of?
The hair of the kigurumi mask is so hard to tie up by myself >_<. So I decided to make "clip on" buns for a proper Chun Li hair style. That will give rise to another problem that is, Yu's hair is rather long, where do I hide them if the buns does not hold the hair? Perhaps I just have to bun up my hair for real... hmm not sure, its nearly impossible to do it by myself when in kigurumi XD. I'll give it a try when I'm free then. If anyone has any suggestions pls tell me ok~^_^.

Just for the sheer size~

I didn't plan to spend much at the supermarket today. Just wanted to grab refills for my paper wipes which ran out. I passed by the fruits section on my way out and these huge yellow combs caught my attention. The bananas, they are the brightest yellow and clean looking bananas I've seen for ages, and probably ever. The price isn't really that attractive but the bananas were. So I decided to buy some home just because they were some of the brightest and largest I've seen. I took some pictures of them just to give an idea how they look like. The pictures didn't really do justice to their size and colour. I was starving when I got home so I took one for a bite. It wasn't as sweet as I've hoped it would be. But I guess thats because it can ripen more over the next few days and add to its flavour. I don't know, do they look larger than your average bananas? Their colour does look bright and clean golden don't they. Maybe its just because the entire shelf was stacked with these that made be felt some awe. hehe~^_^
