☆ location shoot ~ 21st June 2009
☆ photo ~ Dangさん
☆ post processing ~ me

Although imma a real sob, Natsume Yuujinchou is the only series that can make me cry so much *A*
The stories move me so much, so it was really a dream come true to have a team to cosplay together.
Lots of love to the bestie and the sidekick for being my Youkai followers~ :XD:
But both their names are not in my Book...damn!

I spent about two weeks running around grabbing materials and only started on the costume 3 days before the cosplay event (13th June, Street Fest).
What about it, I always can't find enough motivation to get started on costumes unless its nearing the event/shoot date...bad bad habit...T^T

And le sigh, my camera's SD card got corrupted during my file transfer and I had no shots from the event day left, SADNESS!!
Sorry himi and soubi~~! m(__ __)m
The puri (on my webcam now!) is so preciousssssssssss~

I loved every episode from both seasons of the anime so I looped it the entire time I spent on the costume. Nyanko-sensei proved the most challenging to make but thanks to Soubi's encouragement, I managed to churn out a very very fat Nyanko-sensei in time for the event~! \o/ Please look forward to see himmmmm~

This is Natsume's summer uniform - and as you can see, it's just a simple white shirt and black slacks. Costumes like these are so difficult for me because it boils down to my physique, wig and makeup =(
Think I overdid the makeup for Natsume's eyes so I ended up looking like evil!Natsume in many of the shots...so here's one with my eyes closed, where you can't see my eye makeup that was made of phail~ *sweatdrop*
And I need to lose more weight...aiyahhhhh~ OTL

I went through alot of emotional turmoil working on this photo so I hope y'all will like it!
(Thankew ringo, vie, himi, nati and soubi for advice~)
Appreciate all comments and criticism pleaseee...

My, what a long commenttt...

ahhhh I love it!! The pose is perfect, when I saw the thumbnail pic, I yelled NATSUME!!! :heart:
The anime is one of my favorites. It's so beautiful, yet it keeps its humbleness so perfectly. I feel like I could relate to those youkai, even though it's still a myth whether they exist or not. ^^

Looking good! Was this the character that needed the gakuran?
:iconkanasaiii:
Super love the glowy effect and the soft colour edit for the bg. And of course you look really fab, I would be your youkai in an instant! *signs the book*

“…to get to a place where you could love anything you chose—not to need permission for desire—well now, that was freedom.”

:hug: thankew so much for the nice reaction!! >///<
imma so happy that you like it! *A*
The two seasons of the anime was very well received so I hope they'll make a third one! (since Zetsubou Sensei from the same animation studio is gonna have a 3rd season this fall~) :dance:
Ahhh...I love love love Tsubame & Hotaru's stories! I'll bawl like a lil kid each time I rewatch the episodes ((* A *)) Natsume's interactions with the youkais are so believable and it never fails to make me reflect on my own relationships with people so I think that's really awesome :XD:

Thankew so much again!! *gives you cookies*
