Sakuyamon Summer 2013 - cosplay photography post -



     This is so long overdue. I took these shots around the same time as the Seth Knightlord photos and had them edited for the longest time - I just never got around to completing watermarking/signing so to speak. Some were finished at different times than others hence the signature change. "Jack Hallow" is a new pen name of mine and I was testing it out on one of the photos. I'm uncertain of the feel of it yet.



character: Sakuyamon
              Digimon Tamers
cosplayer: Taka Kagaku


      To be truly honest with all of you, I don't feel the best about these photos. I feel like the quality could be better and I have much to improve on. If I thought they were completely terrible, I'd never post them and just apologize to the model. A few months of letting them sit has definitely made me uneasy about them though. Here's to future improvement at least!








These were shots I played around with in attempts to add the spirits Sakuyamon has in the series -  I don't care for them in the slightest, but it's what the cosplayer wanted me to do with these particular poses. 






    Here, a detail shot of the gloves and what I suppose you could consider leg warmers. The yin yang symbols are painted though embroidery was considered at one point in the construction process. The shoes and trim were also painted to better match the armour.











Typical Hotel Shot the Morning of the Masquerade

This costume was debuted at Ikasucon 2013 with my Beelzemon costume. Overall, I feel alright with these photos and I believe the cosplayer is pleased with the costume.
















     There aren't many shots of my Beelzemon cosplay, I don't think there are any of just myself so there won't be a post just for him - maybe a combined post with that and another costume of mine - but I hope to revamp him and get many photos so I can have a cosplay appreciation post for my own work haha

Thanks Space Cowboys,

Hachi
