Description Original character... I was challenged to make a female character for a World of Darkness game (I usually play males) and here she is!

Hope Lawford, aptly nicknamed "Blue"; lead guitarist of the band Iphigenia, an indie goth/rock band of 6 members that ended rather violently due to the death of all the band members save Blue. While playing a gig one night the band were caught up in some sort of supernatural incident that resulted in a massacre and the burning down of the building.

Blue crawled out of the wreckage one day later, surviving presumably only on the strength of her freakish power to regenerate her body. Blue cannot remember clearly due to nightmares of the incident confusing her perception of imagination and reality so she is conducting her own inquiries into the matter, more often than not encountering a wall of silence.

Consumed by her need to find out what happened that night, not least because the vocalist, Ruben, was the love of her life, Blue has descended into a self-perpetuating cycle of bottling up her emotions. More than anything she hates to be seen as weak and sees perseverance and stubbornness as the way forward.

I COULD invent what actually happened to her but I would rather leave that in the hands of the Storyteller since I want to have the feeling of discovery myself.

As reference I used my own photo of me because I thought the pose was very apt for Blue. In fact, the door frame was completely lifted from the photo because the texture was too awesome to pass up. In short, I only really drew Blue herself:

HAHAHA
Thats so funny, because that is EXACTLY what I did. I made a custom class called ninja, and became head of everything too XD
And for some reason, halfway through typing the message I sent, I wondered if you had already played it ^^

Heehee. That's ok. Well, you should definitelly try to do all the side quests if you haven't finished it entirely. All the daedric temple quests are awesome and another one I like quite a lot is the sleeping buy in Brinlaw........ but maybe it was another town. I'd have to look at it to make sure and I can't do that because my big computer is broken. DAMN I wish I could play those expansion packs but it's just not going to happen, is it? *Sigh*

But I guess even if I did, it would be nice to start from scratch a little - I would just whizz through the new plot the way I am because my character really did become all powerful. It was hilarious.

Yeah, I really want the Shivering Isles expansion pack because I want to mess around with Sheogorath XD
I am still working on finishing all the Temple quests, and I like them, because they can be very abnormal.

Did you do the one where you convince a town that the apocalypse is coming? I love that! Also the one where everyboody gets naked is rather fun too.

I never got to the apocoplypse one, but I did cast the spell that made everyone naked XD
That was a rather odd one. It was pretty difficult. I also used the anti-physics cheat, and in the cell right below, there were sets of bodies, it was the weirdest thing. The spell must have caused them to switch with the sets of naked bodies or something :/

Hehe! Well, that's what will happen if you're going to use cheats. But then, I cheated in another way. I did it the first time and realised what it did so I loaded the game and put all my stuff in an urn outside the room and when I'd finished I just came out and put all my equipment back on. Fair enough, I lost some quest items but the daedra god gives it back to you when you come to collect your reward. Keep doing the daedric quests - they're awesome.

Once I come across some money, I am definitly going to get the expansion packs.

Then please tell me what it's like since it is unlikely I will get to play a game as awesome size, depth and graphics wise for a long time. Probably a couple of years. By that time there will probably be something else much more awesome on the market that I am anxious to play... so it's probably rather fair to say that I'll never get to play it.

I will remember to ^^
actually, I am in luck, because I am selling an old drum set of mine, and most of the money is going towards an anime convention next weekend (which I cannot wait for ) but I will set aside some, and probably get Shivering Isles.

I'm going to cosplay Chiaki Mamiya from The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.

It was an amazing movie.

JRock-Prophet In reply to Hyuga34 [2008-11-05 10:50:49 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, of course I know that film. President of Anime Society, remember? Just keep on trying to throw these game and anime references at me and maybe eventually you'll find something that makes me go, "Ah, I haven't heard of that".

It IS a great movie and deserves the good press it gets. Hehe, Chiaki is a bit normal, though. Well, I guess it's ok if you haven't got that much time or resources. Are you going to dye your hair red or wear a wig? Don't forget to write the numbers on your arm.

^^
Someday, I will get something you dont know, I swear it!

Actually, I am playing a piano piece from the movie, "Daylife" [link] for my recital, as I have finally gotten back into my piano lessons.

Yes, I picked a fairly normal cosplay, because it is my first time.
I am going to dye my hair, and I would never forget the numbers ^^ That's my favorite part, and I actually did that a couple of times when I was bored during class.

Tokikake has really become one of my all time favorite movies now, and I made my girlfriend a copy, but we haven't watched it together yet. I keep telling her she would make a good Makoto, and it would be simple, because she already has everything she needs, but she would rather cosplay Matt from Deathnote.

JRock-Prophet In reply to Hyuga34 [2008-11-06 14:39:43 +0000 UTC]

Heehee. I don't blame her - Matt looks more unique than Makoto. After a while all the schoolgirls begin to look alike. I pride myself in only ever having done a schoolgirl once and even then it was Ruki so it was quite obviously her - I even had the red glove thing.

Anyhow, this year seems to be a male cosplay year for me. All the cosplays i've already done and all the cosplays I have planned are male cosplays... and I look really good in them too. Many of my male friends are beginning to feel inferior about how good I look with a beard.

I did Kyoraku at Minamicon and was the best Kyoraku there even though all the other Kyorakus were male. Two of them didn't have beards, one of them didn't have the long hair and another didn't even have the hat. They failed.

Haha, now that puts a guy to shame when you cosplay better than him at a character not even your gender. I have heard the word Crossplay thrown around to describe that
You would never catch me dead crossplaying.

JRock-Prophet In reply to Hyuga34 [2008-11-07 13:32:42 +0000 UTC]

Heehee. For me this is the year of the Crossplay... well, generally I do it quite well if I pick the right character anyway. Of all my friends I think Bob is the only one who ever crossplays and he always does it really well since he's actually quite pretty and androgynous in the first place. Owen, on the other hand, complains that all the characters he ever cosplays are the ones that girls always cosplay more than guys. He is short with longish blonde hair and cosplays characters like Edward Elric, Mello, Viral and Link, which are very popular cosplays for girls since they tend to fit the short with longish blonde hair bill more often than guys do. Last year at Minami he was Mello and I was Mikami - and it was funny because all the other Mellos we saw were girls. There were no Mikamis because nobody seems to appreciate him but I think he's great!

Haha, the first day of the convention is over, and speaking of Crossplay, there was a guy who dressed as Chi from Chobits haha! And from a distance, or even from behind, you couldn't tell it was a guy. I am gonna be going today pretty soon, and there are a few things with my cosplay I wish I could have done better, (apprantly my hair is immune to hair dye, its the same color o.o) but overall, I like it. I will definitly take more pictures today.

Hehe. Yeah, I know that type of guy. There was one at London Expo who was dressed as Dante and we were trying to figure out if he was a guy or a girl. Just the shape of his face was very androgynous. He was rather pretty, in fact.

XD
I guess I didn't describe the part where once you see this guy's face, it's totally obvious he is a guy. *dies*
Last day of the convention today. I got a bunch of pictures yesterday, so I will decide what to post. I probably won't post much on deviantART, because they are other people's costumes, after all.

JRock-Prophet In reply to Hyuga34 [2008-12-14 14:37:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's fair enough. I never put up pictures of other people cosplaying. In fact, I rarely put up pictures of even myself cosplaying.

However, lately I have been scanning up some pieces, and I will post them when I get the chance

I fell into the same old pit of drawing but not having time to colour and thus finish anything these past few months. That's the effect uni has on me.

Thank you. ^_^ She is rather pretty, eh? Her clothes are awesome too. I don't think I've got that much better... in fact, it's been ages since I've done any colouring - hence no pictures being put up. Maybe motivation alone makes pictures better. ^_^
