In Progress:
Sael's Current Project: Empress Kougyoku April 7, 2016
I finally decided to get my Kougyoku on! I estimated this cosplay to cost me about $120, but I've been lucky in that my parents bought some of the cheaper stuff for me for some reason that I'm not questioning.
Ohtaka hasn't put out any color images of Kougyoku's new swag, so I'm guessing on a lot of it, and using the color image I found on deviantart as a base idea. Basically that idea is: Red, Gold, White. The DA image I found is only red and white, but I thought that the white should be gold instead, except for around her waist. I'm not good at fashion so I hope its not very tacky!
I ordered the wig from Aliexpress, and they've been very good to me so far so hopefully it'll be a good wig! You have to wait a month or two to get your stuff from them, but you'll love it! It was also the cheapest I could find (at $30 free shipping) and others were about $36 or so at the cheapest with some shipping.
I hung around Jaz last weekend and I saw her making a hat in an amazing way that's a million times better than $5/yd unicorn buckram (Worst way to spend $5 unless you're making a collar) and now I saved myself about $1 because I was planning on using craft foam! I'll just be using a cake box instead!
Since I'm basically getting the wig first, I'll be making the crown before anything else. I'll also make a tutorial for it since it'll be really easy, and her outfit is so new I don't think there's too many people making this cosplay right now.
Until then, here's some images of my ideas for the crown in case you're making this or something similar. They're not too detailed just because... I haven't made it yet eheh.
