Can I Sleep Now LOL
Valentine Cosplay GamingThink I'm up to scratch with everything now and finally got the cosplay were I want it to be, but now I do need sleep other wise I will over lay and miss the train in the morning. I do hope this find some use for people and thanks for taking the time to read my journey progress.
Last minute improvements
Valentine Cosplay GamingI know I started to lack things a bit caught up with life or forgetting, but managed to sort improvements last moment night before. Such as the shoes and buttons. The shoes I cut away the barrier that holded the shoes together tidying it up making the shoes look more how they should be for Kurisu. The buttons thanks to my nan found a pair that was right for the cuffs of the shirt I modded. (Part 1 of 2)
