Zektbach Cosplay

Haha, I'll be too shy if the Malchut costume is exactly like the official design (pantsu) hence I changed it to short short. As for Shamshir, I'm lacking a certain asset to pull Shamsir outfit anyway lol.
Weird enough I don't mind showing legs and belly, but I'm more uncomfortable with cleavage (Shamsir's bikini top *cough*) or more bare on the top.
That being said I never wear Malchut to con yet. Only shoot and I do wear skin coloured midriff tanktop as well.

Lol my L'erisia one prob like Ido said, I should tape it next time. Many times it is almost slip down gahhhh.

@Matin: I'll remember to tape my cosplay, In fact, I'll make it a note to do so! |D

Anyways, I'm going to buy L'erisia's wig tomorrow, and when it comes in, would you guys want some pictures..? I'm planning to go to A-Fest when it's in my area. I plan to cosplay as L'erisia, maybe someone will know who she is. I remember when Matin uploaded some of her L'erisia cosplay, one of the pictures had a red jewel representing a Ristaccia. Maybe for photos at the fest, I'll walk around with one...? Just an idea.
To be honest, Shamshir used to be my favorite person in Zektbach. Then the Rasion PV came, then the OVA. Rasion made me like L'erisia more,then the OVA made me realize what no characterization Shamshir has. |D Sorry for the long post.

Lol you really should tape it to be safe XD; Though if you behave unlike me keep twirling and jumping during the photoshoot, it should be fine.

It doesn't have to be necklace, to be honest that necklace was left over from Matin's shoot (was gonna recreate the original PV where they still have the concept of necklace and sword) Original plan was to buy 8 red (fake and cheap) gems when I do L'erisia photoshoot, alas I ran out of time. Was planning to use that cheap angel wing you can get at reject shop of 2 dollar shop as well?
But for photo during con one red gem should be enough to represent ristaccia ^^

Please post photos when you got your wig ^^

Yeeeah, it's true, tape is a good idea. I wore my L'erisia to a convention, and it was really prone to slipping down, so tape was a necessity for me xD It worked wonderfully~

L'erisia, I hope someone recognizes you, I know I was so happy when someone recgonized me!! And yes, photos would be wonderful!!

Oh, 8 ristaccia pieces and wings, those would have looked nice~ But regardless, I love the photos from that photoshoot

Wings..? I didn't plan to make/buy any, but maybe another time I can add it to the cosplay.

Wings is just an extra touch/props though.
Most of the time L'erisia is never seen without wings, in fact the only time she was shown with wings was only on that one illustration from limited Ristaccia album artbook. Other time it was always Joah is the one with wings.

Speaking of outfit to cosplay, anyone here is actually ever interested in cosplaying the outfit that has no official colour yet?
I know mishie was doing Masinowa malchut before the official colour was out, and I saw one Japanese cosplayer attempting Ristaccia Nox. A few did Empress Hannes outfit before the official colour was out and one Japanese cosplayer was attempting half of Ristaccia Matin, and I saw Singapore cosplayer attempt on Ristaccia Matin (what I meant with half was she only did the skirt, but the top part is still Blind Justice Matin)
Coincidentally both Ristaccia attempts of Matin were used in skit for WCS ^O^/

I think at this point the only outfits that still remain not clear in colour wise are only Ristaccia Nox and Matin.
As for the lack of full body picture that would be Ido and Isago?

I'll sneak this in so you guys can have a laugh or two.
Just need to add in the gold decoration around the collar line and make the waist thingy. ;w;
I cut off so much fabric when I redo the skirt! What a waste! -le crai-

-shame-
I'll redo the Masinowa!Malchut one this summer. I really did like it, it's just some colors for some stuff were off. ;^;

And Sasha! Don't forget Sasha's color! -fangirls over her- >w<
A full body for every character would totally awesome. ;w;
I would like to know what the miko in Gijiri's story looks like. She sounds so..... elegant. xD

How about using that invisible/see-through string thingy to hold up the dress, L'erisia? I saw some cosplayers use it to hold up those gravity-defying cosplays that would normally drop at the boob part if it had no support. I don't really know what it's called (OR IS IT THIS TAPE YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT? -embarrassed- ;////; )
Photos please too~

I'll be sure to get pictures! Sadly though it's supposed to come in about July 24-27ish. So it will be a while guys!

Well, I do want to cosplay Ido really badly at some time... but maybe by the time I do it there will be a full body picture of him? Well, I can hope.

Ahaha, lemishie, that picture! xD Gotta love the blood pool there. But really, your empress Hannes dress is looking beautiful~ wait, are Sasha's colors not shown in the sealer? I wasn't paying close enough attenition to her...
Kunue no Himemiko? I'm also curious to what she looks like. And I liked her voice simply because it was very clear and easy to understand when failing at translating! xD

L'erisia, such a long time to wait! But still, can't wait to see~

@L'erisia:
That's a long time. But I expect great things then! > w <

@Ido:
Ah, wait. Her color did show at Sealer. Dammit, lack of sleep alert. xD ;;;;;;;;;
And sank you for the compliment~ <3

Yes, yes! Her! x3
It's a shame that the Drama CD did not offer a picture of her in the little booklet. It was a great opportunity! ;w;

@mishie: I think what you meant is the transparent bra strap? It's safer but I'm not really fond of it much since it still shows and all. What we meant with tape is that fashion tape which basically works just like double sided tape to make bits of your clothes stay. That being said that tape is not able to handle heavy material.

And I know what you meant with Masinowa Malchut, this is exactly what I dreaded with Ristaccia Matin, if the official colour is out soon or just moment before I got the outfit, and the colour turns out really wrong I'll scream of anguish. (that being said even though it is said to be navy blue for her pleats skirt, I ended up choosing blue that's more royal blue gahh bec I prefer the combination better with light blue)

OMG your Empress Hannes looked so amazingggg~! I can't wait to see it all worn completely with cape, wig, crown.. everything!

@L'erisia: Ohh please do post pics when it arrived!

@Ido: we'll never know with MAYA and Zektbach really. I find it odd how Masinowa Malchut official coloured ic was out in a year and never ever got anything anymore with Ristaccia Matin and Nox (even more weird that they release the colour of Hannes Empress dress and still nothing with both Matin and Nox)

I'm more curious with Eleonora, her voice sounds really motherly and all. I love how she handed the Trisagion to Matin at the end ^^

Sorry guys, but my interests change fast. I love L'erisia but I'm now planning to cosplay as something else. |D But I really want to thank you guys for giving me the inspiration for cosplaying in the first place. I guess I'll talk about it more in the fan cosplay section if you want...

MORE CRACK PICS FOR YOU GUYS TO LAUGH AT US.
Our Nox is just precious sometimes. xD
I didn't realize he was doing all those faces during these creeper takes.







Ohhhhh, I can't wait for August when we'll have a proper photoshoot. >//3//<

OMG~~~~ <3 <3 You guys looked smashing!
I went to check your blog and there are more photos there ^O^/
Can't wait for your proper photoshoot too if this already looking that great!

You get to meet up with the girl who did Hannes last year too and some even recognise youuuu~~ that's great~~ *insert jealous vibe since I'll be forever alone with no one recognise me in Zektbach cosplay*
Now I demand you all to meet up and hold a giant Zektbach cosplay gatheringggg

Tee hee, thank you~
Though I truly think it's because I was with them and it's more like people recognize the BJ twins rather than the actual whole Epic of Zektbach itself. But yes, it was nice. -still remembers 2 of the girls happy faces- ;w;

The only way all US fans can meet up is one single state, probably ideally on a convention date?
(I would totally love to go to Sakura Con in Washington, the convention area is beautiful from what I see in videos/pics. Just sayin'. -hinthint-)
NEED TO GET MY PROPER DRIVING LICENSE AND OWN CAR SO I CAN DRIVE OUT TO THE OPEN ROOOOAAAD~
And you can come meet us all~ And we'll greet you with love~ <3333333

Or we could all save our money to go to Australia~ <33333333333

EVEN BETTER, WE COULD JUST SAVE OUR MONEH AND GO TO JAPAN ONE DAY WHERE ALL THE ALPACA PLUSHIES LIVE LIKE NO OTHER ALL THE AWESOME STUFF ARE... ;w;

Tehehehe or we can all save up our money and raid Japan annual beatmania/pop'n music event, 'feel so good' <- which also becomes sort of a zektbach included event. It's on this month! (preparing for the influx of zektbach cosplay and doujinsss)
Then we can all raid konami store too <3

Lmao at least they recognise the blind justice twins instead of mistakenly think it is Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere (or I was mistaken to cosplay from ball jointed doll series)

-siiigh- If only i had monies :cc thooough, if you come from California to Michigan during November for Youmacon, you can maaaybe join me and Ido being Gijiri and Ido ;P -hinthintnudgenudge-

Need moar monies so I can go outta state! ;~;

Lemishie, you guys all look so awesome!!! I want to see mooooore!!!

I'll go to any convention I possibly can to meet up with everyone. I'd love to go to Sakuracon, it's so far awaaaay though, but I can hope!!! and I really wanted to go to AX... There was a FictionJunction concert.... the one band I want to see live...apparently Keiko sung really well *sulks*

But if we could all go to Japan, now that would be perfect, and wow, actually being recognized! That "feel so good" event sounds amazing.... I think if I could meet with everyone and go to it, those would be some of the best days of my life!!!!

Yeees, if anyone could come to Youmacon, that would be nice~ I'm trying to get a Zektbach panel, actually one person on the Youmacon forums said they'd be interested, more than I thought!
And I hope I can get both Ido and Gijiri cosplays done by then~ Malchut, I so badly want to go as those two wiith you, and it wouldn't even matter if no one recognized us, because we'd be awesome xD

...why must we all live so far away from one another?!

SPEAKING OF GWEN. I saw one. Couldn't run fast enough after her to take her pictures though. :'<
Just sayin'~ <3

It sucks that all the Zektbach doujins aren't available on sale online though. ;w;
Even worse is when they are, no oversea shipping...... -sobs-
Occasionally some people put a few pages on Pixiv. But I really want to see the whole thing.... :'<

Lawl, thank you, Idoooo~ <3333333
-rolls around and waits for August to roll itself in for moar photos-

I want to go to all convention in the US one day. ;w;
AX is my home convention. <33333333333
YOU AND MALCHUT SHOULD TOTALLY COME. 83


Was FictionJunction these group of girls?
(Even though I probably listen some anime song titles from them, I'm never familiar with actual real life artists' faces or names. ;//w//; )
I might have saw Keiko in the Kalafina concert last year too. -again not good with faces and names- ;;;;;;

I would do anything to go to Feel So Good events, hell, I would give up 2 years worth of AX just to go to either a Summer or Winter Comiket! QwQ

Make sure you two have lots and lots of delicious bromantic pictures for us! ;D

Yuup that's them ;_; The composer Yuki Kajiura on the far left, and Kaori, Keiko, Yuriko and Wakana

Keiko is the one with the bangs , and the GORGEOUS deeper voice~ <3 and easily one of my favorite singers~ and you might have seen her?!
ohhh right the Kalafina concert that I also wanted to go to.... because anything composed by Yuki Kajiura is amazing <3

Ahaha, oh, we'll be taking LOTS of wonderful pictures, aaaand GijirixIdo is only my favorite pairing~ As long as Malchut is good with that I mean xD

*Insert more jealous vibes as you all have better prospect of meeting up*

And yes to future spammage of GijirixIdo photos <3
I'm thinking of dragging my friend Gijiri to Gijiri and Ido shoot again in the future if we can meet up again (living in different country is a big big let down le sigh)

And Zektbach panelllllll /envy
I will not held Zektbach panel, not from me. If someone else is the one mainly hosting it I'll jump and help but never from me as I am.... very terrible at speaking, or just saying anything that makes sense!
I need someone to translate my incoherent ramblings/talk lolol

I'm planning to go to Japan again for holiday next year, but I can't time it with feel so good event ;3;
My reason is to also enjoy the spring time in Japan, as much as I want to just devote myself to that delicious zektbach inserted event my economy will never let me do that /sob
(but if they make Zektbach Only event, I might lose my mind and try to go..)

Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) Fan <----- So basically I had been in a mode where I would hear anything related to Kalafina during the time the anime seasons were aired (but can never get to familiar myself with the artists' names though ;;;; ).

Curious, what are you planning to do in the Zektbach panel? Is it sort of like a ask-a-question type of thing? Or a mixture of explaining of what Zektbach is and add in a little of that?
Would be great if you get the panel spot, and perhaps, record for us to see? Yar? Yar? Yar. ;D
I would love to be part of a Zektbach panel if there is ever one here but I'll probably never host it too. xD;;;;
Plus my speaking may be a bit quiet even on the mic (-hides face from embarrassing moment in the hetalia panel when spoke too softly that the hosts couldn't even hear let alone the audience-). Though it might change a bit once I get warm up with the hype and crowd, plus it's ZEKTBACH so that's another incentive. xDDDDD

Oh yesssssss, Zektbach-only event. I would beg my parents on my knees and sobbing hysterically to support me in saving money to go to Japan during that time. ;w;

Yeees Matin, if possible you should invite your friend, Gijiri and Ido photoshooots are always wonderful~~~

I guess for the panel I'll probably be explaining what Zektbach is since probably not many people know, and I want to have some of the music and pvs and I don't really know, I've actually never been part of a panel before, and certainly have never hosted one.... I'm really quiet and shy, and hate talking in front of a group buuuut as you said lemishie, it's ZEKTBACH so I really want to do this! And I'll have Malchut helping me, but he's shy too xD But still, Zektbach <3
If I do get a spot, I guess maaaaybe I could record some of it, and hope I do all right!

If there was a Zektbach-only event, I'd pretty much be doing whatever I could to go, I just couldn't miss out on such an event!

WE SHOULD JUST PUSH ALL THE ZEKTBACH FANS TO JAPAN.
Because all of us just meeting together would just be awesome. But alas money, and distance seem to be the problem...

Uh so I don't spam the chapter discussion thread...

ADSRFGUHFIJOKPL{:"TACFGVZHJNKM after translating A'Milia chapter my desire to cosplay her rises BIG TIMESSS!
The setting of Milian tribe is just so beautiful, the giant water lilly, the mountains, water fall... everything is just so beautifullll! And the original Milian village is hidden by the mist? It is reminding me of another one of my fave game, ICO (castle in the mist) XDDDD

Okay I'll stop now, sorry guys, even during harsh times people still need to let out a fangasm steam once in a while to keep one sane.
