faded_lace | Pre-Otakon 2009 Cosplay Shoot!

So, for the first time ever, we managed to get a photoshoot in before Otakon! It's a miracle, I know. But today,

yomimashou, and I met with

redkittychan to get some photos done!

redkittychan is an amazing photographer and has a really nice camera, so we were able to get some nice shots! We frolicked around in Prince of Tennis first, because there's a tennis court right by

yomimashou's house, and then we took some pictures in her back yard, too. After that,

chiachiaamichan and I hopped into Noa and Mokuba and did some shots in

yomimashou's house and in her yard. We've never used her yard before, but it was really great for taking pictures! So I think we're all really happy with the results.

Also for the first time, I actually photoshopped these pictures before posting them, so there's a result that I'm happy with. Usually, since we do our shoots during and after Otakon, I'm way too tired to do anything besides just post and make a con report. Since I had the time and energy this time, I've made the lighting and colours a little nicer and things, so I'm actually rather happy with the result. Of course, most of the credit goes to

redkittychan's photography, but I did I little editing~

Um, I'm going to post the two shoots in two different posts, because there's a crap ton of pictures.

redkittychan took over 300 and then weeded quite a few out, and then I got even pickier for this, but there's still quite a few. So first I'll post the Yuugiou shoot (even though we did it second) because there's fewer pictures, then I'll post the Prince of Tennis shoot.

Meet Kaiba Mokuba!

And Kaiba Noa! (I know this picture is ridic, but it's the headshot for Noa, so XD;;;)

Noa is kind of sketchy...

And he seems to have plans for his [adoptive] little brother...

Mokuba is a rather ~~naive~~ ~~gullible~~ trusting little boy, but...

Noa definitely is plotting something.

Seriously, look at that evil face.

In his sekrit lair, Noa tells Mokuba that he loves him... [btw this is my favourite shot ♥]

... and Mokuba obviously buys it.

Still, maybe Noa isn't all bad?

Noa says, "Take that, Seto. Mokuba's my ~~bitch~~ ~~gay lover~~ brother now!"

But maybe, before, he was just lonely?

Maybe it's true love. ♥

But all too soon, Noa has to go...

... off to meet his virtual death...

Because he is a human and not a machine.

But 4kids says he didn't die, so don't fret, kids. ♥

That's all, because this wasn't even supposed to be a real shoot. XD;; We just wanted to pull the costumes together and stuff. But... as always, we got a little carried away. XD;

And, of course, for reference:
