I finally got hold of some more pictures taken at Connichi 2012 in Kassel which took place about 1 1/2 weeks ago! As some of you might have noticed I threw over my costume schedule completely last minute. I wore all costumes I had announced to wear, but I wore them in a completely different order. Instead of Korra I wore Leah from Journey Into Mystery on Friday. It was a good choice though. I didn't see my cosplay partner who was supposed to be Mako to my Korra all day and after the long car ride I wouldn't have been clear-headed enough to apply proper body paint either. So Leah it was.
The costume was surprisingly well received at the convention. I didn't expect that. I even met a nice girl who cosplayed Kid Loki. Unfortunately I haven't found pictures of us online so far. I was generally surprised how well-known "Journey Into Mystery" in Germany is. I'm really happy about that! The series is amazing and deserves a huge fanbase! <3
Everytime I see high-quality pictures of this costume I just wish bias-tape was easier to work with... Ehehehe.
The materials I used to make the bones in her hair are styrodur (Is there an English term for it? I don't know. D and spackle/priming material which I sanded down.
You seem so cold and distant, excellent!
Can I ask you a little question?
What material did you use to make the little bone ornaments on Leah's hair?

Thank you very much, and once again my sincere compliments for your awesome cosplays!
Thank you. I'm really, really happy you like my work!
