Artist's Comments

:dance: Well...This is what I have been working on busily for the past few weeks...=D

It is my cosplay for the upcoming Anime Weekend Atlanta

I am going as the character Balsa from the anime Serei no Moribito (or "guardian of the sacred spirit" in English...)

It is a fairly new show...and if you haven't seen it or heard of it I would Enthusiastically urge you to look it up!! :excited: since it is AWESOME!! I would call it an Instant Classic...:nod: and I am sort of picky :giggle: the Characters, Art, Music, Story, are all Stellar!!

^^ I heard word that it would be airing on Cartoon network's Adult swim at some point...

anyhow...^^; I have been having a wonderful time working on it...My Second Female cosplay in a row (I'm proud...:giggle: ) And the all cloth costume is sort of a break for me ...since I usually end up having to make some sort of armor! o_o... (fun but very labor intensive...) The spear has been a tasty challenge >w< I bought a wood rasp at a garage sale and it turned out to be the Perfect tool for shaping the spear head...:heart:

this is going to be a very comfortable costume...easy to move around in...and not burning hot... and Most of all I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR A WIG!! :boogie:
XD It's fun cosplaying as someone I actually *look* like for once...well...D sort of ...but there's the boob problem...:giggle:

At some point...I will put the costume on and get some pictures like that... yep =D

I want to see it but the only versions I can see of it are subbed in Spanish. I then looked for it on netflix only to find it hasn't entered the states yet. Though Media Blasters did buy the rights to sell it here in the states.

I think I'll see if the Jacksonville Library has a copy available.

Well... they didn't have a copy in the library here in Jacksonville. They did have the first book in the Twelve Kingdoms series though.
