Front View of my pride and joy. This is my first built-from-the-ground-up cosplay. The only things store-bought were the base wrist-bands I added the stones to, the brooches on the chest and attached to the upper arms, and the tank top underneath it all. This costume took approximately 130 hours to complete because there's a lot of detail work, but also because I'm a complete novice. I learned so many skills with this costume!! o.O I really wanted to do this cosplay right -- a character like this cannot be done halfway, so I put a lot into it. I hope and feel that I did it some justice.

A very special thank-you to Garry for the picture and letting me use it here.
