THE LILI COSTUME!! ππ
🕑 Added 2023-07-25 04:53:27 +0000 UTCIβm back from SDCC!! (Kinda sorta anyways, Iβll be in Cali for a bit before I head back home to Vegas π )
But oh man, what I wonderful time I had being the offical Lili cosplayer at the Tekken 8 experience!! π₯Ήπ And this was just PART ONE!! Iβll be traveling to a lot of different cons and events this year to help promote the event, but Iβll talk more about that later π
Lil was definitely a collaborative effort: I was notified about the project pretty last minute and only has about 5 days to put it together π΅βπ« My trusty 3D modeler Spearmaster designed the small details for me, FD Cosplay Studio made the boots, and UmbraWigs made this GORGEOUS Lili wig that I had the honor of wearing atop my head π©π So thankfully all I had to worry about was the sewing, I literally could not have done this without them π
Speaking of the sewing, it was friggin DIFFICULT!! 𫨠Everything had to be patterned from scratch, and mixing and matching the right shades and fabrics to look cohesive made me wanna tear my hair out π« But I managed!! And I think I nailed it honestly~
This is definitely not a character I would have ever picked for myself, itβs not really my style π But I enjoyed the challenge and got a TON of compliments on my craftsmanship from a bunch of other pros I had the pleasure of working with, I wanted to cryβ¦ π₯²ππβ€οΈ
Iβll share some photos and talk about the trip more later, I gotta take my mum out to go see the Barbie movie rn (2nd time for me π€£βοΈ)

This is so awesome Akemi! You absolutely bodied this Lili cosplayππ For a character you say isn't your style or typical choice you killed it! I'm amazed by your work ethic and finishing this in such a short time π€ Also great job to the others who helped you as well. π Enjoy the whole experience of Tekken and also say hi to Harada, that man is true gem lol PS: Barbie movie was actually good I saw it along with Oppenheimer
Absolutley killing it and with that time frame it just makes it even more impressive. Hope you get to enjoy a bit of rest, its so earned!
