sasuke cosplay :D

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Hello again! Definitely loving the community so far, and thought I'd share some more naruto cosplay photos. :3 These ones are from Matsuricon last month, where I cosplayed for the first time from Naruto as...*dun dun dun*...Sasuke.

Inspiration? 5 AM Saturday, the weekend before the convention, I was binge-watching Naruto amvs, and was suddenly hit by the brilliant idea of cosplaying from Naruto! I too could be one of the 24873284738729533 bazillion Naruto cosplayers! Oh yes, it was a wondrous idea.

So, I flopped down on a pile of heavy black fabric I'd gotten at $1.40 at Joann's ages ago, marked out lines with scotch tape, and started snipping away. Six days later, I was done. My dad got home to drive me *to* the convention approximately twenty minutes after finishing it. XD

...and yes, this costume is a bitch to get into. D: Silly emotard.




Chilling in front of a satellite. Do they have those in Konoha?


I like these two photos considerably.


Closeup of the former.

Some photos from the Saturday Naruto photoshoot...you can tell it was a small con. XD


The whole group. There seems to have been a previous photoshoot with some artbook costumes, but I missed it. ;o; Note how we have three sasuke and no Naruto. Wtf! I was thrilled there was an Itachi, though. X3 Later in the day, whenever I would see him walking through the halls I'd sneak up and ninja him with my kunai. >:D


...bring it.


*brandishes kunai*


You're going down!


....loser.


It turned out blurry. u.u I wish she'd been more interested in getting photos with me; I like ItaxSasu an insane amount but I'm also fond of SasukexSakura as well.

Then later on:


I'MMA KEEL J00!


*TACKLE*


The moment I've been waiting for!


VICTOLY.


*readies self for fight!*


Sasuke: (Uh-oh! What is the bastard going for...!?)
Itachi: You still lack it...


Itachi: Not enough...bananas...
Sasuke: .............
(he had a banana with him. no idea why...o.o)


Uh-oh.


*was giggling too much to look serious* haha. Please don't flame me for the itasasu, I got enough of that when posting this to cosplay.com. X_X


(dammit, it's been so long since I've read the chapter that I couldn't remember the pose...oh well)


Whenever I was just sitting around, I'd try to pose in-character as much as possible. :3 way to take a page from gendo ikari, sasuke!


weeeell, shit. Burnt a hole through my best friend's chest to run off with the evil bad guy who wants my bod so bad, and I forgot to ask directions from his minions before they got themselves killed.


Dynamic Ninja poses!


More Dynamic Ninja poses!


Even MORE Dynamic Ninja poses! I used this one a lot. *adjusts kunai angle so it looks better* >_>


The red reminded me of the Uchiha crest, for some reason...

Naruto cosplay is not complete without tree shots. Therefore, I present to you ninja-in-tree photos.


Getting up there.


Through the branches!


This is one of my favorite shots...expression-wise, at the very least.


Helping out a deadoralivegakure ninja. Maintaining good diplomatic relations between shinobi countries is always important.


Discussing what Mokona would taste like with Kurogane.


Showing off me back. Symbol could probably be a tad smaller, but considering it was made night before the con it could have turned out a lot worse I think...I'll iron it before next con, too. Couldn't do it before I left cause the fabric glue didn't have enough time to set for it to be safe. :O


Another closer-up look. (must learn to gel hair better...)


Tensions are rising! *reaches for kunai*


So much for those diplomatic relations!


Stalemate!

Ninja on wall photos!


Getting up there.


Continuing to climb and hope that con security didn't see us.


Yay, wall!


My main photographer got her sasuke fix later in the day at the random battle event--Sasuke got carried off field with a cry of "Bishounen: Gotta catch 'em all!", haha. I was being stubborn late at night later on, and wouldn't go to the rave, so she picked me up, slung me over her shoulder, and carried me waaaaay over to where it was at. O__O


Waiting for the rest of team seven to show up out on the practice field...


I hate my life. u.u *EMO*

Best of all, once I got back from the con and posted the photos to my LJ, one of the people on my flist photoshopped chidori into two of my pictures. Thanks to shisakura for the kickass photo edits below!


First one...


...and my personal favorite. :D

I'd be happy to hear what you think of my cosplay! My hair's grown out since then a bit, so the back of my head should be slightly more accurate for upcoming sasuke cosplay. :3 *patiently waits for bangs to grow out so she can detach wig wefts from leaf headband*

...*goes back to sewing sleeves into the shirt for sasuke's blue and white oufit* XD

I CANT GET OVER HOW AWESOME THAT IS.

Seriously, personally, awesomely, that is the best Sasuke cosplay I've EVER seen. Wayta go!!

I Love the :peace sign: VICTORY picture! lol itachi got pwned.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

^__^ Thank you, that's quite a compliment considering Sasuke is one of the more popular Naruto cosplays. XD

That he did. :P Eat that, niisan.

Isn't it? :DDDDD

[mogurachan.livejournal.com]

Oh... Wow. XD Your costume is sooooo cool! And I am loving the ItaSasu pic. -fangirls- Eeee! The last one is definately my favorite.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Heehee, poor Sasuke. He'd die of mortification if he knew. XD ahhhh, the things we fangirls do....

I like the chidori, too. :3

[aradiantsun.livejournal.com]

Great job on the costume! Nice pictures, too.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

thanks! love goes out to the two friends of mine who were nice enough to take all of these for me. ^_^

[kasaii.livejournal.com]

Mad cuteness! From one Sasuke cosplayer to another, you did an awesome job. :3 I wore my Sasuke one last time (http://www.animegalleries.net/img/189704) at AB this past weekend, but I think I'm done with it now. *nods*

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

awww, too bad. Your costume looks great. :3 I like your collar, especially--what did you use for it?

*insert huzzahing for sasuke cosplayers everywhere*

[hitokiridirk.livejournal.com]

Quite an amazing Sasuke costume!

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

:D Thank you!

[chibipengwin.livejournal.com]

I noticed how you were always in character! I saw you at the dance sitting on the railing, looking very... Sasuke-esque. So much so it was creepy (in a wow, that's really good... kinda way. xD)
Bravo!

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

hahah, I can be a sort of spazzy sasuke sometimes though. XD I'm really somber-looking in photos because I'm posing, but hang around me enough and you'll see it's all a facade. :O Though I can also be really quiet if I'm shy or nervous. x.x

Ah, that. XD Okay, let me explain...

I suppose I'm a teensy bit antisocial; I don't like to dance at raves, I much prefer to sit there off to the side and sort of relax and enjoy the music while being somewhat bored (since the rest of the con tends to be dead at that time, there's really nothing better to do). I'm a bit too reserved to dance, too--it's something I can't bring myself to do. x.x

It's funny, though--if I'm in Yuffie costume, random people dancing see me and assume I'm depressed and need to be dragged out onto the dance floor. But when I was in Sasuke for this con like everyone like just left me alone. O_o I think they assumed I was in character...Okay, yeah, I thought it was kinda IC too.

Honestly I was just kind of bored and wanted to see if I could keep my balance while sitting on the railing, too. XDDDDD It was a challenge.

/end absurdly long reply comment

[ex-fluff.livejournal.com]

Oh god that ITaSasu one. YES. X__x

But great, GREAT cosplay~! You make a great Sauce-gay! :D

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

You wouldn't believe the ruckus it started, though XD

sauce-gay, hee. silly little uke. <3 *stares at your icon* I swear the damn fan changes size and dimension every single shot they have of it. X___x

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Except for the lose photo!

Niisan, get your foot off my back!

[sxylilwitch.livejournal.com]

You make an awesome Sasuke!

I love the ItaSasu-ness XD

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

As do I, as do I. X3 Happy things will happen if I ever find myself a really hot female Itachi. heheheh....

[kat-thefox.livejournal.com]

I think I made a noise only fangirls are capable of when I saw that first pic.

XD

You officially make the best Chuunin exam!Sasuke I've ever seen. ♥ Props to you.

Secretly loves the ItaSasu-ness and saves it for later reference~

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

lol, really? XD I think I probably made that same noise when I saw the full shot of time jump sasuke for the first time.

Hee, thank you. XD Superlatives are an honor in a popular cosplay field like Naruto. Though it does seem like a lot of people don't make the unitard...well, a unitard. Whenever I see a chuunin exam sasuke cosplayer with a shirt and short combo I have a tendency to inwardly go 'rawr you should also feel the pain of getting into the unitard :E'. hahah...

you don't know how relieved I am that it's not causing wank over here. xx; *almost didn't post it*

[ultrasushi.livejournal.com]

Were you at AN this week-end? o.O I swear I've seen you somewhere...

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Nope! Wish I had been, but Canada's a bit far for me since I'm in Ohio. The only out of state con I've been to was last year's Otakon (I'm going again this year). Maybe take a look at my cosplay.com profile (http://members.cosplay.com/27532/) and gallery (http://images.cosplay.com/gallery.php?member=27532&cat=500)?

[allenwalker.livejournal.com]

That photoshop chidori is awesome. O_o

Anyway, you look like a great Sasuke! Amazing job indeed. ^^

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? When she commented the second time with that in the comment, I just about died from sheer happiness. It was a very boring picture before the photoshop. XD

I'm glad you liked it. ^__^

[kawaiibubbletea.livejournal.com]

ItaSasu! *fangirls* And I really like your Sasuke costume ^^

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

*fangirls with you* Thanks! ^__^

[shigeruhiko.livejournal.com]

I love your Sasuke! How DO you get into your emotard, I'm curious? And get that collar to stay up? *frazzled* Not trying to gank anything, just wanting collar advice (the emotard is pure curiousity, the only Sasuke costume I plan on making is the original one).

Not Itasasu inclined, but that's a great picture! Heh heh. Your Sasuke's really awesome, and full of win!

I love cosplay pics! ^_^ Post more! Maybe I'll get of my ass and *make* my Tsunade. . . (hahaha, sure I will. . .. )

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

lol....if you look closely, there's a seperating zipper running from the bottom of my left leg up to just above my hip. I unzip that, stick my leg in the right leg hole, wriggle my arms in the armholes and pull the rest of me in. Getting out involves easing my rear out first, then the leg from the side with no zipper (this makes me look like a pretzel), then squishing an arm out and down across my torso then pulling the rest of it off. X__X Contortionism for the win.
I stuffed my collar with craft foam. :D It stays up very well now. <3 And please feel free to gank if you ever do cosplay Sasuke--the more we all look like the character the better, right?

I should have more pictures after this weekend. XD I'm doing a different variation of Sasuke every day of the con~

Good luck with the Tsunade outfit! Hope to see you at a con sometime. ^^

[hikaruyuki.livejournal.com]

Very nice cosplay and poses! I really noticed the quality of your costume, and your hair fit the Chuunin exam arc-Sasuke very well!

And do you have blue eyes?! Sorry, I have this really unhealthy blue eye fetish.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

I still think my hair was a bit short for it in the back at the time...but I should be good to go for this con. XD Thank you, though.

Yup! Mine are kinda blue-grey-y, like Sasuke's! When he's not using sharingan, anyway.

[icefalcon.livejournal.com]

Hah, that's some hot Ita/Sasu. <3

Nice cosplay! The emotard is fabulous.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? X3

hahaha, it was certainly a pain to sew. X____x

[ellyrianna.livejournal.com]

Homg is that an awesome cosplay! That's what those people like me who can't go to 'coses dream about.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

awww....well, two years ago I didn't know about anime conventions and had zero interest in learning how to sew. now...XD Have you looked to see if there are any conventions in your area...?

[splintered-soul.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! I love your costume and the poses are great. WIN FOR YOU.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

yaaay! Thank you. ^___-^

[jiah.livejournal.com]

Eee, I heart on your costume. Mostly for having the zipper in the right place :DD

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

Hahah, yeah. I saw the illustration they have of how Sasuke gets into his emotard, and was all "XD". I would have gone with snaps for accuracy, but I was short on time and was also sort of worried that when doing strenuous ninja poses that they'd unsnap. X__X So, zipper. I thought it was horribly noticeable, until people at the con asked me how I got into the outfit. I'd point to the zipper and they were like, ahah! I totally didn't see that.

[velcro-panda.livejournal.com]

Pardon me, being a weird person over here. Please ignore this if i've got this wrong but, is your name Aidien, Adrian? Or something along those lines? I swear i've seen you before at a school of mine.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

nope, sorry. My name is Cassandra...I was actually homeschooled up until my sophomore year of high school (I'll be a senior this year), too.

[colonel-sho.livejournal.com]

Kyaa Xd So GLAD someone else has decided to go for the hardship of the SasuTard. I'm yet to begin making mines but ya know, I'm looking forward to taking AGES in the loos.

[ryuuraigeki.livejournal.com]

I call it my emotard. <3 And yes, it is hard to take a crap in. XD

Oh! A tip--look into this thing called a 'gusset', if you just sew the back and front pieces together it tends to rip at the crotch. >< But if you sew the little triangle thingy in, it's free to stretch and won't rip. :3 *had to figure this out the hard way*
