That's one fantastic Saber cosplay!
I appreciate that very much! TY ^^
I love your Saber, it looks great!
so cool. :)
Thank you! ^_^
Maridah , you are awesome
Ah thank you!!
I love your saber cosplay o_o so cute!!!
^-^ Thank you very much!
Fantastic Saber. I love that second photo, you have lovely eyes in that one.
Thanks! I appreciate the complement!
are they contacts o your natural eye colour?
The Nagi (one with the green jacket) is my own eye color. I have contacts for Lina and Saber, though the contacts for saber don't really change my eyes much at all :/ They make them a bit more green, but it barely made a difference.
I like your eyes!! XD
u look great as saber! doing the saber lily version as well? ('~')
Thank you! I am making the plain clothes version, Maid Saber, Dark Saber Armor, and possibly Saber Alter & a bathing suit vers sometime this year. So, a lot of Saber for 2010! I don't have plans to make Saberlily yet, but maybe in 2011 or something.
That's probably the best Saber cosplay I've seen - very impressive!
Thank you very much!
Very cute Saber. Me wonders what your angry Saber face looks like ^^;
Haha! Well this is the only grrr face I think I made on camera: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maridah/3571448664/
I should take some yelling ones now that you brought this up! LOL
wow .. looks like she is gonna unleash avalon on u.
I saw your photos from AX from a blogger who also liked Saber as much as I do and I am very impressed! You really nailed her down! Your Lina's awesome too!
On a side note... how did you make/get Excalibur?
It is made of balsa wood with some wood putty as filler on the handle. Unfortunately, it's also a bit of epoxy since the valet at the hotel broke it when taking it out of the car D:
D'oh! Good thing you could fix it in that short time! Thanks! And again great cos! ^_^
I love your Saber cosplay! You look so cute~ also nice job as lina =^.^=
Thank you!:D
You make a great Saber! Love your Lina from Slayers too. :)
Thanks! They are both favorites of mine, so I really appreciate it!
love ur sabe (^^)~b
-^_^- TY!
what happens if she does Saber lion?
I really want to make one :3
Nice. I really like the Saber and Lina costumes.
Thank you! Those two are my favorites to wear ^_^
Nice ^^
TY ^_^
I thought this was a Saber Live Action thread. Awesome!
Ah thank you! That's a great complement!!
Blond, brunette and redhead! Your saber is the best one I've seen so far.
Thank you! ^^
Looking good! Very well done.
^_^ TY!
Best Saber cosplay I've seen so far, You have my vote :D
Thank you! I worked very hard on it, so I very much appreciate the comment!
Great Saber + Lina Inverse cosplays! ^O^b am your DA watcher too! xD
Thank you for watching me! <3
Great Saber cosplay ^_^
Just a little more work on the shoulder pad ^^;;
Thank you.
There can not be more shoulder padding because that would limit my ability to move my upper arm. Not everything in a drawing translates to working with real fabric, and due to the way the shoulder pieces are shaped, adding more interfacing would not permit me to raise my arms up.
A+ on Saber and Lina cosplays (Slayers is Awesome).
Thanks! Slayers is one of my all time favorites :D It really is an awesome show!
Nice set of the photos. Love the Lina one <3
Thanks! ^_^
You're so beautiful, love your cosplay, especially your Saber one :)
I hope you getting chosen~
Right back at you! <3 You are so adorable and gorgeous! Thank you for the kind words!
Great work!! You're probably the best looking Saber so far.
I saw you at AX2009 and here's the photo I took:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tsubasa126/3697087853/sizes/l/in/set-72157620964902699/
Thanks for the picture!
I can tell this is right before I changed out of the armor because my Ahoge has called it quits in that pic! ^_^
Oh thats Right! you were at AX09 ^^ I took a few pics.
You must have caught me at the right time! I wasn't in it for all that long at AX. It's a hard convention to cosplay at now that the hotels are not attached :/
very impressive costume builds, the are flawless constructions . . . 8D
Thank you very much!
Wow, your Saber cosplay is aamazing! I also think you're spot on as Lina. The pose and look are perfect! great job :D
Thanks! They are both favorites of mine, so I am happy to hear it!
Oh I have seen your slayers pics before, I think it was on flickr! Your other cosplays are very good too! The costumes all have a great amount of details!
That's cool! Thank you!
gorgeous Lina Inverse! <3 its the most awesome lina i've seen! XD
I really like Lina & worked really hard on it, so thanks a lot! :D
Pretty amazing Saber! And everything else looks lovely too. :D
Thank you!
I saw you at Anime Expo 2009. Took pics. You were one of the best Sabers I've ever seen. One of my fave characters. Did you dress up as Lina Inverse at AX 09 also? Another of my classic faves. You really got her down.
Just so you know how good your Saber cosplay was, a pic of you was thrown in some game article when they were talking about the Fate/Unlimited Codes game for PSP on some website. It was kinda random.
Thank you! Actually the Lina Inverse is from 2008 at Fanime. The following year I debuted my Saber there as well. I only wore Lina that once due to the shoulders being so heavy I had noticeable back pain for a week following. I'm going to wear it again sometime soon, but I'm going to pack Advil!
It was? Wow, I had no idea it had been circulating! I wish I had seen that. That's really neat!
Have you considered putting together a Saber Lily cosplay? That would be too much awesome.
Yes, among other costumes of Saber's. I have poll on my page asking people which I should start next, and have the material for Maid Saber.
Saberlily will require me to learn how to work with fiberglass, which I am, so it will probably be later in the year ^_^
Wow! you really have the looks (not just in costume but physical face) to like a real life Saber as well as Lina Inverse!!
Thanks!!
Your Saber was gorgeous!! Two thumbs for you!!
All the best for you :)
Thank you very much!
u make me yuri for that Saber..*lol*
God..u r so cute...i love you!!
*blush* Thanks -^_^-
i like your saber, ^^
TY! ノ( ^ω^ )ノ
Miss your pic on the cover, hope you get a full page instead xD
Thank you! That's very kind of you. Do they give full pages? That would be amazing, but I'll be happy just to get in~
I think Danny mentioned something about Koto choosing who gets fullpage and who gets on the back cover xD
ur so pretty!!!:D world's best saber:) im really disappointed that u aren't on the cover but im sure ur definitely gonna be in the book:D
That is very sweet of you to say! I really hope I do make it in! Thanks for your kind words of support ^___^
Oh, I'm sure you'll be in the book. You look great!
Wow, so awesome!!
25... I thought you where like 19, you look so young and cute. Good work ^ u ^
^_^ Thanks! HAHA 19 is generous! I'm glad I don't look younger to you then. I've had more than a few think I was even younger, especially w/o the makeup ;_; No one trusts my drivers license LOL
Finally got a chance to comment on your submission!
So much LOOOOOVE!
Love right back at you! <3
This is the first time I see Emma Sheen cosplayed... very nice! My favorite girl from Zeta, too... I really hope this one gets a slot!
Thank you! Emma is one of my favorite Gundam girls too. She's really a great character.
Hello Maridah!
You are so pretty! And your costumes look of high quality, as the photos.
You look a lot like the characters.
See you!
Thank you so much! You are very sweet! ^_^
Wow! If Saber was real, I'm sure she would look like you
You look so adorable and you are really cute!!!~ You are the most suitable and best Saber cosplayer I have seen so far :D LOVE YOU VERY MUCH. PLease cosplay more Saber@!
