The costume, the make-up, and the model: me.

This was chucked together in a weeks time, and despite a few flaws here and there I was happy with the result. And I'm gonna chuck it out and say that I never intented to flash out my bust like I did. That's not my style lol. Sorry everyone!

Despite all the chaos it was a wonderful day! Many photos and interviews, and I also won the award for 'Best Craftsmanship!' Much love love!!

Not your style? Are you serious? I'm gonna guess you haven't viewed your Xenosaga photos in a while, not to mention who you're portraying in Borderlands and what she's known for physically.

Condisering that yes, I have "viewed" my Xenosaga cosplay [lol I made the damn thing] and have quite the knack of Lilith, I can tell you now that there are a few differences with each cosplay:
1. This character is not meant to have any bust. In fact, she's only 12 in the manga. During trial fittings this corset fit perfectly and covered up, but I recently started taking medication [aka. the pill]... and if you're a woman, you know what that shit does to you. The boning failed and I was left with boobage, which I hated. I had no time to re-make a corset, but in future, if I plan to re-do this outfit, I'll be making one that covers well.
2. The Xenosaga cosplay was INTENTIONALLY meant to be fleshy- it's an armour bikini, damnit.
3. Lilith has a small amount of boob and tummy, and that's it. I actually don't consider it raunchy in comparison to someone like Moxxi, for example. I don't even see her as a sex symbol, considering she's a character that you rarely see and connect to during the game since it's FPS, and she's a gun-toting badass. Even if you check out the Borderlands 2 shoot, there's only one picture that was taken for "fan-service", and it was done as more of a parody, imo.

When I say it's "not my style", I mean as in I like to pull off the character 'perfectly', or as close as possible. So what if other characters have a bit of flesh? Anatomy is anatomy. There should be no shame in it. But if it's not meant to be fleshy, then it's a costume not well-made, in my opinion.

Impressive shot, especially the composure of the background with your costume is well done :)
