Black Rock Shooter Photoshoot - Katsuya Weller

I'm back with what I believe is the final leftover from the backlog of last year- The Black Rock Shooter photoshoot from the talented Katsuya Weller!  We dragged her all the way to the North Carolina Museum of Art for part of this shoot, and we thank her profusely for putting up with all of our "getting lost while driving" and "having our costumes melt and/or fall apart" nonsense.

Yes, bask in the glory of the giant circles

Dramatic gaze into the distance

Then we trekked back to the convention center so we could dramatically lay down on the floor.

Careful not to get stepped on

Because I just love my sword SO MUCH

Group shot!

To see all of these pictures in their high-resolution glory, here is Katsuya's AZ 2012 photoshoot set on Flickr.

Mirai Nikki Photoshoot (circa AZ 2012)

Another item from the backlog of things from last summer- the Mirai Nikki photoshoots with the wonderful and talented Katsuya Weller!  Beware- massive photo spam below.

Group shots yeaaaah

Everyone loves sketchy parking lots full of cosplayers

       Deus!

Poor Stuart and his miniscule field of vision

Murumuru!

Lounging on the sketchy stairs

Read all the manga! (i.e. the Ratchet and Clank comic we borrowed off of Katsuya)

Time for Mimi's closeup!

Ninth / Minene Uryuu!

I recall this feeling very awkward

Yes, scream into the microphone like a crazy person!

Third / I don't remember his real name because he dies after the first episode (spoilers)!

Guys, we should probably take the stairs instead

Twelfth!

Next up, Katsuya's Black Rock Shooter pictures!

Black Rock Shooter Photoshoot, Part 3 - MZMA

Poor Cosplay-vania.  I've totally left you abandoned.  Q_Q  You need a good old-fashion post to get you back on track.  And so, without further ado, the continuation of our picture-fest from our Black Rock Shooter photoshoot (again, shot by the wonderful Bryan Regan) with my MZMA pictures.

 I love the angle of this next one :)

And this next one is my favorite one of this cosplay.  ACTION SHOT! :P

And finally, one group shot where we all look awesome :D

This photoshoot was amazing, and wouldn't have been nearly as fulfilling without Mimi and Kathryn, and our photographer Bryan Regan!  Thanks everyone!

Black Rock Shooter Photoshoot, Part 2- Black Gold Saw

After a week of blerg (that's actually the technical term), I'm finally getting around to posting my pictures from our Black Rock Shooter group cosplay.  So without further ado, here's the second set of photos from the photoshoot with the wonderful Bryan Regan!

You know how much fun it was getting up onto that platform?  Not.

Model pose GO

That sword is ridiculously difficult to hold up with one hand.  That is my intense concentration face.

Why hello wig, after a day of conning you don't look so good.   Creepy factory makes up for it though.

Dramatically stare into the distance.  This is an important skill.

I think I may have been singing here. 

Totally not slipping on the gravel.  Definitely an intentional pose.  Definitely.

You're damn RIGHT there's no trespassing.

Ridiculously well-timed walking picture.

AWWW YEAH, cue dramatic wind blowing my hair.  And, you know.  Cars.

Batter up!  Swing batter batter SWING 

>__<

And just for fun...

I think you're doing it wrong.

Herp derp.  

Guitar sword?  Yes please.

More group shots and MZMA pictures to come!

Black Rock Shooter photoshoot with Bryan Regan part1 Insane Black Rock Shooter

Hi guys, no time no post...>.> but today's post is pretty awesome!  I'm here to share with you guys some photos from our Black Rock Shooter photoshoot with Bryan Regan, a local professional photographer who we had a wonderful opportunity to work with.  

Below are photos of me as Insane Black Rock Shooter for Animazement 18.   Remember, you will see a bigger photo if you click on it :D

we took these pictures near the train tracks about 10min away from the Raleigh convention center.  The location was great, but Bryan's lighting skills are even better! 

I'm really happy that this photo shows the blue streak in my hair.  It took me a while to sew them in ^.^

Close up of my face........wahhhhhhhhhhhh =_=;

and here are some outtakes:

my hair and shoulder piece fell off >.>

dude, I'm trying to say something here!

The broken Insane Blade Claw Q_Q

Many many many thanks to Bryan Regan for dealing with our ridiculous personalities!!  Stay tuned for more awesome photos from Bryan of Black Gold Saw and MZMA.  I promise there will also be crazy photos from Katsuya Weller coming soon as well!  :D
