Kuroshitsuji is a story about the young Earl Ciel Phantomhive : English nobleman by day, detective for Her Majesty by night and his sidekick/butler Sebastian Michaelis : a demon bound to Ciel by a contract written with blood. Together they solve the mysterious crimes happening in England as well as investigate the murder that left Ciel desperate enough to exchange his soul for a demon’s assistance in  his quest for vengeance.

This is one of my favorite series. Aside from the manga’s aesthetics (don’t watch the anime, it is shit), a good premise, I fell in love with the relationship between Ciel and Sebastian. When a perfect demon decides to serve an 11 year old kid, that child must be something isn’t he? They were very well written characters. 

Sebastian obeys every single command issued to him but in the end, who is the real master here? Ciel, who through a deal controls a demon or Sebastian, who gets Ciel’s soul in the end?  I always wonder about that.

I’m a day too early for Throwback Thursday but what the hell, my backlog is like my room at the moment : everything piled on top of everything and I don’t have the strength and will to start pulling and putting things to proper order. But it has to be done! Ughhhhhh. 

This was my third shoot with Jin (the first one being Alice in Wonderland, the second Katekyo Hitman irc), but the first one where we were directly involved with each other. I was so stiff! Hahaha! Back then it isn’t natural for me to “have fun”. I guess there’s the factor too that before that we didn’t have much interaction with each other and that I am awkward. I am most comfortable behind a work desk! I’m just weird like that years ago. 

Actually prior to this shoot I already decided to stop cosplaying. But the venue we were to shoot at is so gorgeous and I’m a big fan of Kuroshitsuji!!!  So there I was, making my costume a few hours before sleep, after work again. I even said this is my last.  And two years after I’m blogging about cosplay. You all know now who to blame (・∀・)

Although there are a lot of things I wish I could’ve done better with my costume ( I have an all-my-work-sucks disease) I truly had fun! :D Nevermind that my blue lenses aren’t showing, nevermind the inaccuracies, nevermind the badly sewn costume. 

It’s an a homage to a series every cell of my heart loves.And  I am happy with that.

I was cleaning my hdd while waiting for my ride home when I came across this and a hell lot of backlogs I never got to publish. I think this is a really great capture by Z3LL photography . It looks so dramatic, but the truth is was fixing my gloves at this time. :))

This was also the shoot that made me go back to cosplay. 

And I was happier ever since! Because I’ve embraced my geek self (*insert P4 music here*)

Sebas-Jin so dashing, no? Ah, I want to re-do my Ciel Phantomhive.

Jin as Sebastian Michaelis, who also lent me my wig here. 

Special thanks to Fernbrooks for letting us shoot here! It’s such a gorgeous place.

Ja’far : Magi, Labyrinth of Magic make-up test

Obviousy wearing the wrong clothes here, and my lenses are gray because when Ja’far is angry his eyes turn gray, hahaha!

GARRRAAAHHH this Twin Snake Rope darts was a big pain in the arse to make. If you follow me on twitter you probably know how many times I had to scrap and repeat making this. I’m fairly new to props making so…it was a learning hurdle I guess. I did learn.

I made my props especially for photo shoots. And it got a special skill like making heart shapes and spelling names. :)

I’ll write about the whole make-up and props construction notes sometime next week. I’m making Ja’far’s clothes next, which I’m pretty sure will take  just 5 hours tops.

Today was my day off. I had a fun time. Good night.

There’s a definitely shounen title from Miracle Jump that caught my attention last night. It’s called One Shot Demon King~ It’s a story about a cute girl finding this GARRR foreign looking guy dropping by their sweets store to claim her as his 569 years missing bride and the dragon demon king incarnate!

The art is good! Or at least it’s the type that I like * u * 

I look forward to owning a Vol.1 tankobon of this. I hope they continue the story D: And not let it stay as a one-shot manga :<

Balalark Sei (Magi : Labyrinth of Magic) WIP.

I started with armors and stuff like that just 7 months ago. This is the 4th non cloth project I attempted in my whole life.

It was going so well until I was 2 steps away from finishing it. 

I’ve seen Taobao Balalark Sei

…and it’s so flat that if you throw it at someone it’ll probably just bounce back. Weapons in my opinion should be ergonomic. 

So I wanted mine to be 3D. I want it to have an edge, to look like it can kill so I scraped off the edges with a cutter and sanded it. It does have the shape but it was too thick for me. This blade is supposed to pierce things D: It MUST have a thin body, at least at the pointy end! 

So I started all over again tonight. I’ll probably post the finished product  this weekend.  

What is frustration. OTL
