Hitagi Senjougahara outing attire~<3

For those who have seen the TV animation Bakemonogatari, did you know that it was rated the No.1 hit anime in 2009~^_^ Hehe, I am indeed pleased with that outcome and I truly enjoyed every bit of it myself hehe~ However it is yet to be finished, I wonder what is keeping it up, I just can't wait for the episodes to return to air.

In fact, I like it just as much as Kampfer(another anime discussed in the forums) but if you want me to rank, its obvious Bakemonogatari is better. Kampfer is a comedy and easy to watch action ecchi anime. Whereas Bakemonogatari is a deep storyline, great character development and have an artsy animation design. Not an ecchi focused anime like Kampfer but almost just as many beautiful ladies~^_^

Today, Hitagi Senjougahara puts on her black and white outing attire~ Its an official costume design as that in the anime. Took not as many pictures but just about enough for two previews, one more to come after this one. I made the costume myself from a basic high waist (pregnant lady look/maternity wear) black dress and attached the white parts myself. Made the heart pendant too~^_^ She wears a white boy short with black leggings underneath which goes all the way up~ When I first saw this attire in the anime, I fell in love with it. It looks so classy, gorgeous and sexy at the same time~^_^ What do you think?

On another issue, some of you may have noticed that I am not very active lately. The truth is, I AM SUPER DUPER BUSY T_T... I started another enterprise and is buried in the managing work which I need to do ^_^: I worked all days last week including weekends and didn't even had proper rest hehe... well... I hope that it will get better soon as the work becomes routine. I'll try my best to make it run as smoothly as I can~^_^

Below are some preview pictures, hehe, tell me how you like it. You can talk in the forums, emsil me or send me a PM~^_^
Hmm I need a yellow handbag... *help* @_@? hehe~

Do you want to have a night out with me?

Hitagi Senjougahara prepares for a night of fun~^_^ wearing the black skin tight wet look dress and high gloss PVC boots, the purple haired girl is sporting a classy look~

The same costume was worn by Yu some time ago, hehe, recycling is something good right?~^_^ Just took a short shoot of about 80 pictures... hehe including some ecchi poses >_< No video is taken though~ Hehe, posted some of the images below.

For those of you who haven't seen Bakemonogatari (the TV series where my character Hitagi Senjougahara is from) you can find out more about it in this forum thread. I talked a little about what the anime is about and also put some artwork and videos in there to capture your interest~^_^

Its the top selling series last season, hehe what are you waiting for~^_^

If you leave a bunny all alone,... she'll die~pyon!

Pyon pyon~ Hitagi-san cosplays as a black bunny girl~ (apparently pyon is the sound associate with bunnies?! >_<; lol). Wow, I think I'm in love with the Saya mask lol... its so QQQQqqqqqq~ Took a proper shoot today since the mask was finished. The previous shoot was really a rush as you can see from the shortage of time to even put on some kawaii costumes~ hehe

I think at last, I'll let the Saya mask be the final version. No further modification will be made to her, just like the T-fa model. After all, I think I kept making modifications only because I wasn't entirely satisfied with how they look previously~^_^ (nevertheless, the previous mask models are already above average~^_^)I think its justified if I mark up the price for the Saya mask... since the US currency is falling and also, I think its deserves premium price~^_^.

I'll list it up in the orders page, but don't count on that happening too soon lol... though, I hope it can get in there soon since it'll be a good product to win buyers with. But I'll be sooo sooooo busy until mid december probably. >_<;

Hmm the Asuka mask is still up for grabs T_T... no one wants her??
Just name a price ^_^ if its not too unreasonable, you can have it. I've got too many nice looking masks lying around now, lemme give them away okie~^^ (eeks nooot humble >_<;) Ah... I hope the destinied take comes soon.

Meantime, here are some preview pictures of the Senjougahara Hitagi in bunny suit cosplay. Took about 120 pics and some video... a little fewer than normal, but enough to go around. For now, I'm posting about 10 here... thats about what I can manage to come up in the short timeframe~^_^

Enjoy~

Senjougahara Hitagi

Haremu~ >_<; I just finished the HItagi Senjougahara custom mask today and thought of giving it a quick spin. Quick because the chemical fumes from styling the hair is still quite strong. So quick that Senjougahara didn't had time for a proper attire... heh heh heh~@_@.

Oh my goodness... talking about styling hair. Styling ponytail hairs with back covers are so soo bloody tedious. This one took even more time than the Saber custom before. Gggggargh~ The pony tail kept having loose bumps here and there, I must have retried tying the ponytail for at least 8 times. Took me quite a long time for the entire process.

The back cover design is the soft cover, split open type with rubber strings attached so that it can spring back to close tightly behind the head. Hmm I would still say that I haven't got a good grasps on how to best make tied up hair style masks. Long flowing hair masks are so damn much more easier to make lol.

But anyways, here is the first shoot of my Saya mask~^_^ Yeap I named it Saya after one of my favourite idols~^_^ And this customisation of the Saya mask is called Senjougahara Hitagi, the female lead from the hit new anime, Bakemonogatari~^_^ Looks like it has a little of the moving eye effect too... hehe I kinda like this mask very much~_^

Well, just managed to take a few shots today, will put up more soon is possible lol.
What do you think of this mask~^_^? Tell me about your views in the related making thread for this mask here:

Here are some of the ...ahem~* rushed shots(before getting suffocated by chemicals) take just now~^_^ (Also did a 15 min live with a few friends on MSN)

Kigurumi mask to GIVE AWAY~!!!

Indeed the title is not spelt wrong. I have a kigurumi mask which I wish to give away. The only catch is, it is partially finished. However if you read my mask making tutorials, it is at a stage very close to being finished. The most demanding tasks are done.

Before I put it in the bin, I am wondering if anyone out there wishes to take over my tasks from here and complete the unfinished mask.

I realised that I do not have the time and patience to make 2 masks instead of one this time and will like to give the partially finished one away. This is due to my heavy work load and orders coming in for a new T-fa custom mask. Also, this new model is for meant personal use, there is no need for me to make two of it, I have no orders for it yet as its an unreleased model. I thought, why not just give it away just to recover the cost. I can always make another one if I need to and I do not have much room to store the partially finished mask.

The taker will pay for the shipping and US$100 negotiable, so just contact me if you are interested. I think its only fair that I do not need to pay your shipping to give you something.

What you are actually paying for are:
1) My time and effort to sculpt a highly photogenic model. It is an extremely photogenic design (this model is the beauty/sexy range) to supersede the Asuka model.

2) My time and effort to cast the original in silicone then in fibreglass and then smoothing the mask and spray painting until it is safe to hold and sand. (the partially finished mask has been sanded down for sharp edges, eye holes drilled and even painted in pale yellow. Putty has also been applied over the holes.) Just sand the putty down and repeat another once or twice depending on quality.

3) A chance to DIY if you do not wish to have everything done for by others and in turn you spend less money, and don't mind spending your time.

4) Almost complete artwork. Finished product will have the usual US$849 price tag or more.

5) A chance to own your own mask for a very low price if you do not mind doing some craft work by yourself.

Previously, I have to turn down people whom has approached me to request for unfinished masks for a low price simply because I do not recover my costs much for selling unfinished masks. This time I already have one, so I need to get rid of it by hook or by crook ...or by bin.

Any artists out there who wishes for a blank canvas at a rock bottom price, this is meant for you. It most likely will not come by again, I do not throw masks away so often.

Interested to know more about its cast, visit this thread over here which contains the original head form. It will give you an idea how the mask will look like when sanded down to smooth. Click on the link below.

I posted some pictures of the mask below. The white stuff is the putty, I have already started filling in the holes. But got lazy from the tedious sanding process, I decided to abandon it. After you sand it finish and patch up the holes a second round, it should be as smooth as glass (if you're a keen worker). Interested takers will receive free guidance and discussion for help needed though depend on your own creativity and artistic skills more over me.

Feel free to ask any questions
