Not Letting Any Detail Pass By
The fun thing about cosplay is creating a character that already exists and getting every detail right. Lots of times when I do gogo variations or original creations, I find myself missing the strict attention to detail that comes with cosplay.
I was DETERMINED to get every detail as close as I could! Including hand-sewing many details, completely restyling my wig and ordering custom fabric that came a little too close to arriving too late.
When Christmas was in sight, I decided I was long overdue for another Leafa variation and decided to work on a christmas outfit I saw her in that I absolutely loved!
