Personal Log: TJ Dragonblade

Senshi-con was last weekend - it's a tiny little two-day con held every year or so at the local university here in town. AJ and I went for the first day. He's wanted to do cosplay since the first time we went a couple years ago, so a few weeks back we talked it over and he decided he wanted to do Black Star from Soul Eater. Most of my meager spare time the past month or so went into pulling it together for him, and it was totally worth it even if we didn't manage a wig and the blue hairspray was totally wrong and not the color it claimed on the can. I missed a good stripe of his hair up front, too, which makes me facepalm when I look at the pics, and the shoes could have been closer to canon if I'd had more time and his collar kept wilting (note to self: next time, interfacing!), but overall I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Especially the pants. ♥ People recognized the costume and he got asked for tons of pics, which kinda made him glow, so. I'll call it a success. ^_^
