It's coming to Mid-May, looking forward to the GG shoot in June. Order Sol and Ky, which is more difficult to interact because they are not rivals YET. The shoot revolves around when the both are still in the Holy Orders as comrades. D:

It has been... *counts* 7 years since his last appearance in 2006. Looking back at my old shots brought back a lot of memories in the costume, i was only 22 then! Resurfacing him in 2013 worried me a little.

Would i still be able to pull him off after so long? Especially since i will be using a wig this time, 2006's HOS was my real hair but then again i used a wig for his console special color and still pulled it off :v

The next thing is how well the costume would fit. I had regular Sol's vest to wear with in 2006, which helped a lot since the original design also had it. (i think) There's no vest this time round, it will only be that small collar part peeking out from the white caplet which could be too limp to support the collar's structure. I should have considered that when discussing with Baoye. @_@ I should be adding in that weird red part (the part behind his "cross" seen from his side view) myself, the costume looks nicer when i compared my old costume with other people's HOS costumes ._____.

Fitting... I received a couple of comments about my old shots that HOS lacked bulk. I was at my slimmest in 2006.... I gained quite a bit of weight and bulked up a little since then, hope that helps. (no, i did not plan this D<)

Progress... HOS' gloves, headgear and buckle/belt are done, i should start on a new blade soon. (after the current commission bah) There's still his shoes and leg cuffs to finish up, piece of cake. Last bit is the giant belt holder at his back and "RIOT" label on his caplet, i can't do anything until the costume is with me for measurements orz

Portrayal... A small aspect of him resides within me, i only need to bring it out and magnify it. Everything else is....Come on, i've done this before.


still loving this <3
