Empire on stage

Our Trinity Blood cosplay at Lucca Comics and Games 2011, the most important con in Italy. Sunday Oct. 30th, the day our long awaited dream came true ^^

Me as Seth Nightroad, aka Augusta Vladika, the Empress of the New Human Empire; Kinnara as Radu Barvon, Baron of Luxor. Photo by Jackomel ([link])

Radu’s costume is all hand made by Kinnara
Seth’s one made by Kinnara too; paintings, decorations and shoes by me. The tuning-fork-like weapons are made by my boyfriend Akhan and me.
Resin gems, wig styling and makeup by me and Kinnara.

We went onstage with a mesmerizing fragment of the music “Prelude to War” by Bear McCreary. Martial, menacing, noble and somewhat mysterious… it had everything for a confrontation between the Empress and a conspirator. And we both loved it, so it was settled! ^^
This photo stays very true to the actual tones of the green and gold, and I’m fond of that twilight glow that bathes it.
More shots are in my gallery!! And doooon't forget to check also my cosplay team's account ~Cospoison for more photos and more TB costumes! *PR mode on*


EDIT: uh...ehr... ...our skit on the stage. [link]
*rushes away out of embarassment*
Soorry for my being veeery faaaar from perfect >___< It was quite an improvised skit and if something can catch into something else on the stage, be sure that it will. But... maybe you'll like to see the costumes in action and some more details. ^^
