Some construction notes:
Both costumes were constructed in a three-week timeframe before Anime North 2009 and debuted at the masquerade. We won Best Detailing in the Journeyman division. Everything other than the pants, footwear and dress shirts were self-made, with some help from each other. Both my cape and jacket are fully lined in duchess satin. The black parts are made of stretch twill. All gold detailing is made from metallic spandex; most of the applique was done with heat-and-bond. My cuffs are made of red taffeta. My red "wings" were handpainted in acrylics. Suzaku's gold designs are done in acrylics, and the blue wings were done in oil pastels.sew_creative drafted the patterns for the jacket and vest herself. Her wig in these photos is a backup - she had a perfect one that was commissioned, but it got lost during the convention, unfortunately.
Random facts: my costume weighs 15 pounds in total, and an extra two people can easily hide under my cape. :>
This was a huge challenge, but we were very happy to have brought this beautiful artbook cover to life. Special thanks to the photographer Zero for the photos, andthe_major for styling my wig.
