I couldn't bring the leg armor with me which is a bummer because I worked hard on them and liked how they turned out, but at the same time Karna is a royal pain to wear and full leg armor made the whole ordeal even harder- without them I can wear Karna longer and pose more actively!
Japan Expo is HOT so it's always good to bring cooler cosplays...and Babylonia definitely meet that requirement. And CasGil and Enkidu are super comfortable too!
Ngl this is still my favorite cosplay from this year because it's the first time I've experimented with colored lights! I used a sunset lamp, a small RGB Ring Light, and bounced off a larger white ring light as well.
I also sourced a new ribbon and added gold leaf on the armor/leather parts (which you cant see on the photos bc in still too blind to take full body photos haha but I did do a mirror selfie here with the leg armor visible!!!)
How can I keep silent? How can I stay quiet? My friend, whom I loved, has turned to clay, my friend Enkidu, whom I loved has turned to clay. Shall I not be like him, and also lie down, never to rise again, through all eternity?
My favorite clay finally came home in fgo after what feels like an eternity
