Tales of the Abyss-Tokunaga

Hey guys! this is what I been working on for like months! This is the costume I wore at Anime North 2008 and at Otakuthon 2008 and I am like so freaking proud of how it turned out!

It was a huge success for me who have no confidence in my sewing ability. I think I must have gotten like a 60 hug and like 500 picture taken. Some group hugging almost threw my head off

I have such a neck hake after having to hold it with my forehead and back of my neck when I wanted to breath out of it

I didn't wear it for too long because It's so freaking hot in there and also I can't shop with it much... even if their's zipper on the back of the paws so my hands can get out.

Quick fact and answer:

-I made this costume all by myself with some help by my dear friend ~JanelleFox

- My head is inside Tokunaga head, in this picture i am leaning a bit to show off anise head.

-Anise is made of fluff, fabric, chicken wire, foam, tape, small pipe and hot glue. All part were made by me and Janelle.

I have browsed the internet a lot and only found 5 tokunaga cosplay at all. it's so nice to know that I made something that not everyone cosplay as

EDIT: Changed the picture. this one is one of my favorite.
Second Edit: Changed the picture again. This is the evil version one picture was taken by ~Henrickson
