Nanami Kiryuu

Nanami Kiryuu, cannot really say that I know too much about her.  She is supposedly not really a nemesis to Utena, but not really friendly with her either.  The way I understood it, was that she just didn't like Utena, and would be typically in the background trying to outshine her.  Perhaps after watching the series I can understand things a little better.

Please support NyuNyuCosplay, and visit her DA page!  Enjoy the photos!

Revolutionary Girl Utena

I'm getting close to running out of photos!  Sorry about the long wait between posts.  Settling in and a big move have been keeping me busy.  I've also been busy at work, and looking for models in San Francisco to shoot.  I haven't touched my camera in such a long time, and I think that there is probably dust on it. ARGH!

Well, here is the first part of of the Revolutionary Girl Utena series.  We have NyuNyuCosplay and Dead Pepper portraying Nanami and Utena.  They were really fun to work with, and were able to come up with interesting ideas.  Also, not being so familiar with the series, they were able to explain key points and who the characters they were costuming really were.  This made for fun photos.  Hope you like them!

Arakawa Under the Bridge

         This was one of those couples that I was not used to seeing.  I really had a hard time recognizing who they were.  It was one of those deals, where I didn't even know a starting point on my brain to scratch.  If you haven't read the manga, or seen the anime/live action, I would recommend it.  It is quite funny, although if the characters in it are apparently not that memorable.

          These two are Kou Ichinomiya and Maria.  They live under a bridge in the Arakawa district of Tokyo.  Thus the title of the anime.  Hope you enjoy the photos!

Jill Valentine

I cannot believe that I have not posted these photos yet.  They were done so long ago!  This model is Liz "Dead Pepper", she did the Hanekawa Tsubasa from Bakemonogatari (Monster Story) as well.  Liz is so great to work with.  She was extremely patient as well.  This site for the photos was not the most strobe friendly.  The windows were just too brutal.  Liz just hung around whilst I fiddled around with the lighting for what seemed days.  Thanks LIZ!  Support her and check out her Deviant Art page!

If you cannot tell, the unit that is attached to her chest lights up!  The costume was just so well done!  Such an awesome seamstress!  Well done Liz!  I hope to shoot with you again soon.  Sorry about the wait!

Lineage II

          Again, it has been far too long since my last post.  I have just been so busy with a recent job change, family vacation on the east coast, and moving from the suburbs to the city.  That last one being a huge deal, because I still do not have internet where I am currently residing.  Although, it does help with the fact that I am still learning what to do at work, and the amount of books that I am reading is increasing.

          I have just a few more of the Fanime 2012 photos to post.  Also, I am trying to get more camera time and more photos to post, but have been too busy lately.  Lately, I have been looking for locations that can be shot at while now living in SF.  There are plenty, and come summer 2013, I hope to have plenty of models to shoot.  For now though, here are some ladies costuming characters from the lineage series.  Hope you like them.
