  Tsubasa | RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE by Emi-zone
Busy, busy busy!


It's almost two weeks until felixize and I jet off to Japan to take part in the WCS Championships. I wanted to post up some of the links etc and give a brief explanation of what it is we intend to do since I might not get another chance to post up on here before I leave!

Firstly we will be updating right up and beyond our departure on our Team UK page. There will be costume updates, travel snappies and regular posts through out the entire trip for anyone interested - as well as a link for the finals for anyone wanting to watch the competition live! 



felixize has been writing a blog about the more indepth aspects of being part of WCS, it focuses less on the costume construction and more on the experience, questions and overall participation. It's less formal and more honest and very tongue-in-cheek so hopefully you'll find it an enjoyable read!  
We will be making frequent posts on the blog while we're out there about the places we visit, the people we meet along with photography and video coverage!



If you've never come across WCS etc please take a moment to look into it - see if your country is sending out a representative and give them your support! :D

Hi all!

I've been pretty scarce lately, this was mostly down to the fact that I was busy working away with felixize for our WCS entry. I'm super, super happy [and still shell shocked!] to report that despite such hard competition we scored first place and are representing the UK for 2014 in Japan :]

Our performance had some minor hiccups but all in all we're pleased with the overall outcome, but intend to push our boundaries much further for the finals!

If you're interested in our progress and updates you can throw a like to our collective page here!
It also features imagery from the past representatives and will also continue to be passed on to each representing team in the future!

I've also made a facebook page for my own personal progress, which will show both updates regarding WCS and my own projects [link]

We're aiming to get a proper photoshoot for our qualifying costumes done in the near future - though we've hit a particularly cold spell here in England, lots of oncoming snow and freezing temps so this may delay us a tad :C


Emi~ x

Hello!

I've had a pretty busy past couple of months, so you may or may not have noticed a distinct lack of updates from me on here.
My cosplay has taken the back seat this last year and a half due to my degree. So I've been busting out the rewears and some simple throw togethers. 

I can now happily say that is over
I've passed my degree and thus am now a fully fledged illustrator 
-ready to draw ... stuff... everywhere.

Throw me a like?


Another reason for my lack of presence especially within this past 3 months is due to the fact that I've now finally moved into my own house. There is still a lot of work to be done - I only got internet the other day for example XD; 
--and secondly I've just returned from Japanexpo over in Paris -(today) which was amazing as always.

I'm aiming to grind out some big colourful fancifull costumes to satisfy my withdrawal symptoms.
Meanwhile here are some random shots from Paris and some of the content you'll hopefully see once I clear enough boxes to rebuild my computer.


 


Also AOT soon!
:wink:

Amecon 2012
:iconfelixize: :iconminiplum: :iconking-oftheworld:
:iconzombi-zone: :iconyuka-rin: :iconmikejenks:
:iconplummerc1: :iconnavigatorxnami: :iconisamiaella:
:iconlastordersuk: :iconbloodspiderx: :icontheplough:

So much delay #sob
I've finally finished all the photos from Ame and London so the free time finally presented itself :']
All my Amecon photos can be found here
www.flickr.com/photos/emzone/s…

Thursday



The thursday fell on my 21st so honestly it was the best day ever being able to see everyone
After arriving and checking myself in I helped/watched DDR-UK set up. The table I was sat on ended up being carried to the other side of the room and dumped while I was on the phone Dx



My first shoot of the weekend was with Rainbow-Spex in his zombie Kamina

Kamina- Dying Will by Rainbow-Spex Kamina- Never Back Down by Rainbow-Spex
Kamina- Dai Gurren's Heart And Soul by Rainbow-Spex



I then returned to the Games room and took WingedWalrus for a shoot in her gorgeous Meltdown Rin cosplay
With lots of derp.

Meltdown by Emzone

On our way back we found MikeJenks, Isamiaella and felixize and their pizza





Mike's reluctance to share.

That evening was spent in the bar, seeing everyone and getting tipsy on birthday drinks :']





Nightmare before Christmas.



We played a few rounds of pool. Some more drunk than others.
Then the bar closed so we vacated outside with Foxy







And then lots of this happened.



Clusterfk of hyper



There was a chase between Carlo and Cameron.
We found them both in a hedge later.

Friday

Dem breakfasts :heart:
It was ridiculously hot straight off from the morning. My initial plan had been to wear my Skyknight Zelda cosplay but the heat was far to much so I opted for something breezier.



A week after Amecon I saw the right hand image appear on my fb feed. Lol'd at the pose.
Then realised. It was me ;_;

I also drew an Owl on the whiteboard in Lauren's block, she made some adjustments.

Juliet Starling by Tif9123 Juliet Starling - The Zombie Hunter by Tif9123 Juliet Starling by Tif9123

I did a bunch of shoots in the morning including another one for Rainbow-Spex this time as Nero

Nero- Table Hopper by Rainbow-Spex Nero- Demonic Saviour by Rainbow-Spex
Nero- The Devils Trigger by Rainbow-Spex Nero- BULLSEYE!!!! by Rainbow-Spex

Followed by a shoot for xLulux's Terra

Terra | Magic by Emzone




Then stopped for lunch - there was a little shop in the student union who sold little tubs of strawberries for cheap
I lived off them the entire weekend :heart:



We then moved on to shoot Isamiaella's Korra and MiniPlum's Game of Throne's costume.
We were joined by Lastordersuk [Amon] mid way.

:thumb324668285:

That evening I did a shoot for the PS3 group



With lotsaslappingaction

Challenge Us? by Destinys-spirits Different Paths, Same Destiny by Freyarule
I will Burn my dread by Freyarule



Saturday



My phone looks like a brick Horyshiz
Shoots and more shoots for the morning~

Howl's Moving Castle by Emzone My Link Home by MissMagickCosplay I Will Not Fall by MissMagickCosplay
No More Running by MissMagickCosplay I'll Show You Wonder by MissMagickCosplay

To Be Beautiful by MissMagickCosplay Sophie Hatter. by Spoonyyy Sophie. by Spoonyyy

I loved this shoot. I've always had a thing for Howl's Moving Castle
Dream shoot achieved :']

This was followed by a shoot with the Twilight Princess Group in the Keele Hall's grounds

Twilight | The Kiss by Emzone Twilight Princess Midna by Tif9123
King Zant the Usurper by plastic-anime ~Twilight Princess~ A Corrupt Romance by plastic-anime



I then rushed back to my room to get changed into Sayaka, felixize and Isamiaella came and met me as I was just finishing off and we headed out together.



Puella Magi by Emi-zone Madoka Magica: Moment in Time by felixize



Gorgeous line up - me derping.
typical.



Someone gave Cameron a camera.
A little grasshopper found refuge on Ashley's collar





The heels were reallllllyyyy killing my feet ;A;
We did a small shoot with Blasteh



During which I seemed to have completely forgotten how to pose
Or not derp. Or not look awkward as fffffff





Afterwards I moved on to shoot whonose8472's amazing Gadot and ManticoreEX

Gadot | INCOMING by Emzone Kaidan Alenko Mass Effect Cosplay: Scouting by ManticoreEX Kaidan Alenko Mass Effect 3 Cosplay: Tracking by ManticoreEX

Kaidan Alenko Cosplay - The Hunt is On by ManticoreEX Shepard - I'll always love you by ManticoreEX



Sunday



Started the morning off with a fabulous breakfast and a shoot with XMoonLilyX's child England.

:thumb326946475: :thumb329964526:

Followed by the Panty and Stocking group and ManticoreEX

Angel Stocking- Candy King by Rainbow-Spex Shunsui Kyouraku: Bushogama by ManticoreEX
Shunsui Kyoraku: Irooni by ManticoreEX



Then I rushed back to the room to tan up with felixize
Once ready we parted ways while I did a quick shoot with Destinys-spirits's Luka

All We Gotta Do... by Destinys-spirits





Then the avatardness began
There was a slight threat of rain and we had a mini downpour during which Lauren and I huddled under umbrellas to stop the tan slipping off Dx





Amon demonstrated his blood bending capabilities



and then was promptly forgotten.



There was a load of filming done - which can be seen in Nert's videos from the event

:star: Avatar the last Derpbender www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5rzdG…
:star: Cosplay Cascade 3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=dB4Jsr…




I did some 3D shoots with Nert borrowing Nocturnal Blossom's water fans



Then afterwards volunteered to do some real water bending.



The water bending started before we started shooting when the first balloon exploded soaking us both in blue dye.



The first set was a watersnake - which I managed to pop fairly early into the shoot somehow Dx
As it was leaking out the very last part shot up due to some trapped air[?] / water to the face.



The next set were little orbs.
Which were popped using a pin.



For some reason I had mixed Nert's comment on how durable the snake balloons were with the orbs.
So it popped immediately and scared the tan off me.
We tried a couple more times where I tried to school my expression a bit better - but it's surprisingly very difficult to not freak out when a high pressured orb of water explodes in your face
:D

:thumb326976148:



and then we moved onto much larger ones.





Needless to say by the end of it I was soaked - but surprisingly still tanned



I then did my final shoot of the weekend with Freyarule



Vibrant Patience by Freyarule Shining by Freyarule Look to the Sun by Freyarule
Miku Mode by Freyarule Twinkling Raindrops by Freyarule

Coming To Life by Freyarule

That evening we raved - had an awesome time
Then some unfortunate things happened and the night was spent in hospital
But then it wouldn't be a convention if we didn't visit the Hospital at least once ;]
