are they contacts o your natural eye colour?
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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

Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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.

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?
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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:

Great Saber + Lina Inverse cosplays! ^O^b am your DA watcher too! xD
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
Thank you for watching me! <3
Great Saber cosplay ^_^
Just a little more work on the shoulder pad ^^;;
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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).
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
Thanks! Slayers is one of my all time favorites :D It really is an awesome show!

Great work!! You're probably the best looking Saber so far.
I saw you at AX2009 and here's the photo I took:

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.
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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 :/

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.
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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!
Mage
Have you considered putting together a Saber Lily cosplay? That would be too much awesome.
Cosplayer
http://www.maridah.com
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 ^_^
