Costume Information

Description
Well, during May expo me and my friends casually mentioned cosplaying the Marauders.
I wasn't a huge Harry Potter fan so I said alright, I'll be Lupin as he's a werewolf and my favourite character from when I was a kiddie - the other two were fighting over who was going to be Sirius. lmao.

...Then suddenly the obsession hit us and, well, I honestly can't wait to cosplay Lupin.
Seriously. I can not wait one bit.

Cosplaying with~

James Potter - EmosLastKiss
Sirius Black - Kanriku
Lily Evans - Starkinglys
Severus Snape - Alumflexam

@Sephirayne - Ah, thank you so much! o3o I really like that shot and am amazed at how it turned out. XD Usually solo shots are a lil' awkward for me. ^^;

@Natsumi - Heheh, thanks~ I think I'm just lucky my hair was similar to his. :'3 And oooo~? You're going to cosplay Snivellus~? :'D I can't wait to see it! Recently, I've started to have a huge fangirl over Snape... No clue why. XD

@Yuka - You really think I do? ^^ Thank you~! I really liked making this costume and I'm glad it turned out ok. :3 The photos were taken at Leeds Central Library. Our cosplay group meets up there once a month and it hit us that it's actually a really good location for cosplay shoots. X''D

Journal

Robes (Posted 4th July 2011)

I gave them to my fellow Marauders and they loved them and they fit nicely and now all my worries are gone and I can just relax and make my own robes now.
Bought the jumpers and the ribbons whilst I was with them and so I can make a start on them too.
However, I need to find a new way of making the scars as the make-up comes off easily - I swear I had to re-apply it around four or five times in the day.
So it looks like I'm going to have to do some more research for scars... Great.
Also thought I'd upload a picture of us three Marauders! The one on the far left is me, the one in the middle is EmosLastKiss as James and the one on the right is Kanriku as Sirius. Should be an awesome movie!

Finished! (Posted 30th June 2011)

I was the one in charge of making my fellow Marauders (+Lily)'s robes and lemme tell you, it's been murder. So much red and black thread everywhere...
But I've finally done it, even if the fabric I bought lied and wasn't wide enough so the sleeves are slightly shorter. Will be delivering these robes to them this weekend then buy the v-neck for the rest of my costume.

...Then I actually need to make my own robe. Thinking of putting the odd patch on the robe to give it a more worn out look, but I'm not sure.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention I tried a fluffy wolf mask on the other day in a random hunt for a werewolf mask... It made howling noises. I just...
