Okami Group Cosplay 1

I got a bunch of friends to accompany me this year to AnimeNEXT 2009 in Somerset, NJ.

My friend Senshi was Oki, I made Kutone for her. The blue glow on the blade didn't come out as blue as I had hoped. :/

Another friend of mine was Samickle. She was short on time and cash, but I still think it looked fantastic. Especially since she had never played the game. :3

My mother was Princess Fuse, I worked out the yukata and canine warriors orb weapon for her. Looking up and painting the Kanji was fun. :3

My brother was Issun x 1000, and his cosplay has a funny story behind it. XD We had to switch rooms the night before the con, and thought we left his Issun hat in the other room. The hotel was not very helpful at all, but we did meet up with the people staying in our old room and could not find the hat for anything. :C

So we traveled to the dealer's room, bought a new hat and stuck together a new Issun hat like McGuyver that you see here. The red markings were literally made with lipstick, the antannae were made with spare black fabric from another cosplay and trimmed poster board, and the green fabric was clipped from his cape. XD

...I don't think we did half bad! And we made it in time for the photoshoot!
