Whoootwhooot!

*drumroll* Last Saturday we FINALLY had our long-awaited Ôkami shoot!!
Honestly, I've been starting to doubt that we'd ever manage to take some pictures with our whole group,
seeing we've been planning this shoot since November 2008 without much of a progress.
- Which is why I couldn't really believe we did it until I saw the first pictures online.








As I said before, it all started in 2008, when Feder, Krone and Herr Fuchs asked me to join their little Ôkami group for AniMaCo (read my report). Because the location looks pretty awful we didn't take many pictures at the con, but agreed to have a proper photo shoot next year (read: 2009).
Spring came and our group even found another addition when joined us with the Oki costume I'd sewn for her.
BUT. Unreliable weather forecasts, a serious lack of time managing skills and plain bad luck thwarted our plans! (It's really not that easy to get 5 cosplayers
and a photographer with very different scedules to be at the same place at a time. Really.) We were considering postponing the shoot to autumn (we insisted on either cherry blossoms or red leaves as a setting), but in the end decided on this spring.
On the good side, this gave us the opportunity to redo parts of our costumes and as we are now I think our group r0x0rs! XD
So we met on Saturday with Andy K. a.k.a. Squirrel-of-Doom, who is not only a extremely talented but also a very patient photographer.
Location was a big park near my house (Gärten der Welt). Luckily enough, there were two cherry trees that were still in bloom. And even more luckily (?) the weather wasn't exactly nice that day, so the park wasn't as crowded as it usually is.
The shoot itself was a lot of fun, as usual we were goofing around a lot. ('s costume-induced blindness definitely added to that XD)
It was the third time for me and to wear our costumes (see Animaco and MTV Game Awards report). We redid some minor parts (e.g. Rao's neclace, Oki's mask), but not much. I'm still not really happy with my Rao costume (what was I thinking when I chose that fugly shiny fabric?!? I know I didn't have much time nack then, but still...), especially next to Feder's
gayness
prettiness. I highly enjoyed being "busty babe" again, though XD Rao's revealing wardrobe isn't like anyhing I'd usually wear, so that was a nice change (Although I still prefer my boobies properly covered) XD

Krone, our Amaterasu also took some kick-ass pictures (I heart you, you know that, right?)

I lovelovelove how all the pictures came out! ♥ ♥ ♥

Actually, I took a few pictures myself, too, but after seeing their amazing galleries I kind of lost the confidence to actually edit and upload them...


Oh, in case you haven't played Ôkami yet: DO IT!!! XD
(Really, it's one of the prettiest and funniest games I've ever played!)
