Anime Expo Rin & Saber

Posted by maridah [www] 

Tōsaka Rin cosplayed by DayDreamerNessa <3 She's so cute as Rin! Her site: http://eternaldaydream.com/
I asked her if I could put her up here. You might recognize her from Otacool. She was the lovely Emeraldas from Galaxy Express 999 and Dark Lady from Sailor Moon featured.

    I think you are one of the best saber Cosplayers I've every seen and your friend did a pretty great job as well as Rin. Wish I could of gone to AX it look really awesome. Btw have you ever done or thought of doing a Saber Lily or Alter Cosplay?

      Not really ^_^ It's a wig. I only had to style it once! My own hair is not even close to long/thick enough to make a bun that size~

          No, it wasn't really that hard. The most work was making wefts for the bun, but it only took a couple of hours total. I've spent more time curling wigs than I did styling the Saber one ^_^;;

        HAHA, both of you as maids would be a huge overkill for my otakuness. And I mean that as a very high compliment because both you and Rin look like you jumped straight from the anime and promotional artwork.

    You make an amazing Saber. I've seen a lot of Saber cosplay and will say that in my mind your what a 3D version of Saber would look like XD Keep up the amazing work and cosplay ^^

    Rin's costume is off though. The cross on the chest should be higher up on the chest and longer at the bottom like a cross. It looks more like a plus than a cross though. Other than that the rest is good ^^

      Thank you very much :D
      About Rin, it's not a plus sign. It's for sure a cross shape on the costume. It's just at an angle in that shot of her by herself because it's on her *ahem* bustline. :D

          this is the rin! :) My saber made the rin costume and I was more than happy with the results. It's a minor nit-pick, and in the future i might change it, along with adding props etc~ but it was a really nice gift on her part ^^

        Indeed, I'm also a Rin man. But as a Fate Stay Night fan, when I saw your Saber cosplay for the first time, my jaw dropped seeing such a vivid presentation that made me instantly fan of your works. Now I see this Rin, it's just as awesome. You gals are great.

          Thank you! Like I was saying, usually a person likes one or the other, so big complement that a Rin fan liked my cosplay! We were kinda kidding around at the convention since some people would come up and ask for a photo, then clearly point the lens at only one of us. It was really easy to pick out who was in what camp since people will tend to overlook the other character ^_^;;

        Plans are together to take photos with the armor later this summer/ early fall, so maybe I'll make a post here with those when they are out. We have a location... we just need to make arrangements :D
