WildRikkuTwo more photos that I like from last week's LBM, where I cosplayed Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII.
Sarah on the first photo is partly responsible for me becoming a cosplayer instead of limiting myself to making props, which is where it started. Can't believe this was the first time I met her in an outfit - we've known each other for quite a few years now.
The lady on the second photo was very fascinated by the gunblade. :D I was recognized quite often this time and talked to quite a few people about Final Fantasy stuff, but I'm always especially happy when someone is interested in the gunblade and the transformation mechanism since that is what I spent the most time on. You can see both forms on these photos, even though it's not fully transformed to gun form on the first photo since one of the mechanisms currently needs maintenance.
I really had a great time at the LBM / MCC. When I started 1.5 years ago, I had the illusion of going to LBM 2024 in cosplay. It took another three months until I had a version that I could show. So it was cool to go there this year, now with an almost finished version. It's a huge event, but I like how well the book people and the anime / manga / cosplay people mix. Even among those not in cosplay (and there are MANY cosplayers!) there's a lot of people with wigs or ears or just cool outfits and it's just a very friendly atmosphere.
