So I didn't go to Animania bahaha. Spent the weekend at home, rolling around in bed. It was great
But after the Animania weekend, we had our full
Silent Hill shoot seeing as Kenny was still down in Sydney.
I think about 2 years ago I had a mini shoot with
SweetSkitty to take shots of my Heather costume and I managed to look hideously ugly in every single shot (despite the brilliant photography by
GundamFamiglia and
pireze, who did an amazing job on the day). Yeah, my makeup skills weren't so good back then. :/ I wrote a journal entry here bemoaning it too. I think I titled it something like "
Silent Hill Part 1" because - as someone who loves
Silent Hill above all other horror game franchises - I was determined to reshoot the cosplay and get better shots during what would essentially be "Part 2" for me.
And 2 years later I got to shoot with an amazing team of people, most of whom I've spent lots of fun nights playing through the
Silent Hill games with! XD It was a successful shoot despite all of the organizing pain (1+ years' worth of having to delay the shoot over and over because people were never available on the same day). I'm really happy because I wanted to get all of the protagonists together and WE DID, along with the most iconic monsters. A lot of beautiful shots came out of this shoot. I'm really proud of everyone in the group and have them to thank for the success.
Thanks so much to everyone else for the support and praise as well. We really appreciate it.
Going To BrisnovaI wasn't planning on going to Brisnova this year, but then it was announced that Gareth David-Lloyd (Ianto from
Torchwood) was going to be there. I wasn't a fan of
Torchwood yet when he was down in Sydney, so I'm really happy that he's flying back to Aussie and that I'll have the chance to meet him now 8D Ianto is my absolute favorite character from the series.
I'll be making Meiko's Project Diva:
Scarlet version to wear on the Saturday. On Sunday I'll be out of costume and just dressed as myself, so I can take photos with Mr. David-Lloyd XD /shot
Will any of you guys be there? What will you be cosplaying, if you are? Hope to see you then!
