I like Trinity Blood so much that I am currently struggling my way through the novels in Chinese. (My Chinese is enough to get by with manga but novels are... painful.) I really liked the anime too!
This costume was made entirely in a month. In fact, all of HCC did their costumes in the month between SDCC and World Con. If we'd been smart, we would have started sooner but we didn't so there were a lot of long long nights.
All the detailing on the fabric is embroidery with hand beading on top. I sculpted the armor pieces and did resin casts of them so the costume is actually super light considering how much armor is on it. Judy helped me make my hat 'cause she's super millinery person. Thanks Judy!
I'm currently working on making Astharoshe's weapon of doom 'cause it's so neato and I really want to have it.
We spent so much time on these costumes that we're going to be wearing them everywhere. Judy is threatening to wear them to the grocery market too. =D
