I wanted to cosplay Kozuki Yuniko from Accel World at first, but I couldn't get my face to look psycho enough D;

Didn't like how the outfit came out, and the picture itself would be very hard to understand for someone who hasn't watched Accel World x.x;

Eldaena! I almost did Yuna! XD The outfit turned out way too risky, and the hair was way darker than I anticipated T.T

After my previous failures, I decided I really wanted to cosplay San from Princess Mononoke. However, I couldn't use a dyeable skirt with ninja, and I really needed the daggers... TT^TT I was trying to go for this scene from the movie:

I decided not to use this because of the skirt, but I REALLY liked this D;

As for the picture I submitted, that was the last idea I had; to cosplay Weiss. I figured since I wouldn't be able to access the Sanctum of the Twelve after the eternal bond was through, I decided to put it to use! The inside of that place is beautiful! *0* I tried to make it look like she was on a big stage (I think it kind of failed), but I really liked the background! The only difficulty I ran into was getting an angle where it looked like she only had one ponytail and trying to make the sword look as thin as possible. I was greatly inspired by this:
