Code Geass cosplay at the London MCM




That's me (C.C.) and my lovely friend Yuki (Lelouch) and a lot of great people we found at the MCM. I was the only C.C. in the whole convention! :O
My outfit was made in 2 nights, so I'm not really proud of it. The MCM was at the same time as my finals at uni so i didn't have time...(that's why i only had time to paint the tip of the boots but not the knees!) :/

More group pics, this time with Euphie





We found a Kallen!



Suzaku and Lelouch



C.C. and Zero



C.C. and Lelouch

I AGREE! hahahahaha

[himehikari.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!Wow! I never know there's a cosplaying event in London. If I've known I will go there~

Thanks for sharing these pics!

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

The MCM (about 20-30.ooo people) happens twice a year, in may and october. But there are quite a few more events around! so you should come along! (the london board of tourism paid me for this ;P)

[himehikari.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the info!~ *laughs* I'm sure they are paying you. Thanks again!

No, I stared for a long time. Guilford is wearing kinky boots as well! >.>

[lina-lau.livejournal.com]

*jumps in randomly* Our Suzaku and Guilford had to wear boots like that because in group cosplay, height ratio is very important... some people may have a good face for a character, but they are not as lucky to also have the height, and the ratio between everyone is important for the group to look right.

The only way to make up height and to bring them to the actual characters' heights (or relative heights in comparison to the rest of the group) is by wearing boots, and they both already tried to choose more manly looking ones rather than the hooker boots that a lot of people chose to wear. The opposite is also true - I had to wear practically flats for Cornelia because I was already at her height or taller, and Guilford and Suzaku would look too short in comparison. orz Personally, I would rather have a Guilford who is at the correct height but with heels rather than a very short Guilford with flat shoes. xDDDDD

[lina-lau.livejournal.com]

Hahaha yes, if it is a solo photoshoot, then flats or shoes which are much less high heeled would be better, but we usually all photoshoot as a group~ It is much easier in a photoshoot though, because when you are the photographers yourselves (since we shoot our own photoshoots as well), you can choose what to show in the photo and what not to. *w*

[rosiael.livejournal.com]

Oh trust me, I've seen way higher, and much more bitch-looking heels like that. I do understand why you would get nitpicky about boots. I myself dislike wearing them when they are not under trousers, and the character isn't flamingly gay. However, compromises are to be made in a group when you want to get the relative heights right. Not everyone is the right height for their characters, some are too tall, some are too short, so adjustments (especially for the short ones, as the tall ones can't possibly cut off their legs), will have to be made.

Besides, during a con, unless you are permanently looking down, most people would look at the upper portion of the body first and would usually choose to nitpick on your face, and whether you are fat or not first and foremost, so for most cosplays, footwear isn't the first thing you want to get accurate.

One more thing to understand is that we did not really intend for these costumes to show the footwear when we photoshoot them, since alright fine... Suzaku would not wear tall heels although it would have been more useful if he did have them when he did that magical kick. It's just that it's a bloody con pic and you have no control of how and where people would take photos of you.

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

I actually didn't notice the boots till i looked at the pics! so i suppose if the outfit is goodl most people wouldn't notice them. (But i still think it's quite funny, the idea of Suzaku and Guilford with kinky boots >.>)

[senshicrystal.livejournal.com]

Awesome pictures! :D Hope you don't mind if I save these ^^

You're so lucky; you managed to get them all together! I was there this year and I only got them in separate groups, including the Lulu and CC. I feel sorry for the Euphie group, they couldn't take a step without being stopped to take photos, even on the way to the bathroom ^^;

There was such a huge Code Geass group; I was quite surprised considering it hasn’t been showed here yet. Kudos to the Suzaku who went up for the masquerade! *cheers*

[rosiael.livejournal.com]

ahh awesome, so you are here on LJ. ^^

(frozen comment)

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

Hellooo! i found you again! yup, i looked for you guys at the MCM page but i couldn't find any of you! and any pics of the Code Geas people either!:/ Are you going to AmeCon on summer ? :)

[isolatedhowl.livejournal.com]

These look fantastic! I wish I was there *__* Did your friend (Lelouch) make the costume or buy it, btw?

These are so awesome X3 Getting saved~!

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :) She made it in about 4 days (she had 2 more days than i did...grrrr)

[smitten-iken.livejournal.com]

Cool!!! XD Man... I wish I have a group as big as yours! You've got so many characters!!

I'd be cosplaying C.C. at my upcoming cosplay event in Singapore.. =P wish me luck!

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

Good Luck!:D R2 C.C. or the white outfit?

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be a lot of other Code Geass characters you can take photos with at your event!

Out of curiosity, are you talking about cosfest?

[smitten-iken.livejournal.com]

Yup Cosfest! =) And I hope so.. well at least I have the main characters.. Lulu, C.C, Suzaku, Euphie and Shirley~~

This year we have 2 days of Cosfest. So one day doing school uniforms and the other day, LuLu is doing casual and C.C. is doing the red lolita getup. =)

[smitten-iken.livejournal.com]

I wanted to do the R2 series one and white one.. But we're settling it with a private photoshoot.

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

Oh awesome. :) I'm going to be at cosfest as well, but I won't be cosplaying Geass at all. I'll look out for you though. :D

[eldylabor.livejournal.com]

I love the chess/pizza shots. X3

[maiyu-c.livejournal.com]

OMG the Cornelia looks amazing! Anymore pics?

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

EUPHINATOR, HAHA. And that Cornelia is awesome! 8D Great job with your outfit, I love how well it flows. (And I know the pain of wearing a long green wig. ._.;; I did C.C. too and the wig HATED me for most of the con.)

For some reason, I adore your Lelouch's pants. XD

[sharz.livejournal.com]

Why is there never Rakshad cosplayers :S

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

Laksharta? Someone was going to come as her, D: but her family dragged her to the seaside for the bank holiday weekend at the last minute. ><''

[sharz.livejournal.com]

That sucks!

[projectluke.livejournal.com]

EVERYONE LOOKS SO AWESOME XDD;;!!!

[misumaru.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm so gutted I didn't see you guys until the very end when my camera had run out - you were amazing! :(

Suzaku was totally robbed at the Masquerade btw.

[kairoxmyworld.livejournal.com]

*.*

........

thats too cool!!!!!!!! :D

[dr-ghost.livejournal.com]

Gaaaah~ it's you guys *_* You were so awesome at the Expo, it as lovely to see a C.C finally~ You both looked wonderful.

Awesome group shots and the pizza ones are awesome. Thank you for sharing! Hope to see you at more Expos :)

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

I'll be there in october! were you cosplaying?

[lina-lau.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha oh man, Expo was fun, though my Cornelia was uhmmm technically an unfinished costume. orz||||||| It was great to see other CG cosplayers there - you guys were great~~ *w*

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

Was it? It looked amazing! Yes, I was quite happy to find more CG cosplayers, and you looked all fantastic! I thought there were going to be a lot more C.C.s!

[lina-lau.livejournal.com]

Ahaha, thanks a lot - the gloves were not complete because I was still in the middle of my uni portfolio hand in rush and therefore did not have time to finish it off. Dx I also... forgot to bring my cravat and had to make another one out of scrap pieces of white fabric on the morning of the Expo. 8D;;; *wins at life like that*

I would have expected there to be more C.C.s too, but surprisingly there weren't. XDD I guess CG is not really that popular in the UK quite yet, and not many people know it? Dx

[xamiyax.livejournal.com]

Great costumes and photos!

[gomimushi.livejournal.com]

Eh? you can't find us?? We're all in the Code Geass thread in the cosplay section for May ^^;; There aren't many photos of us posted up on the forums but they are floating about in some peoples albums... :"D

I was surprised that there were so many CG cosplayers *w* '' it's a good anime though, glad that it's getting the attention it deserves. 83

Oh, um, I didn't get to speak to you properly I think. I was Euphie.. ;;

[yuuko-81.livejournal.com]

You were awesome! :D I looked at the thread with the albums, but it looks like i missed the Code Geass one! *facepalm*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_kazeki_/]

Love how fitting the Cornelia's costume fits!
I like the Suzaku cosplayers XD
You look very good as C.C.!

[x-drear-x.livejournal.com]

I saw you guys! Win group was win. I love your C.C. costume. Boooots! ♥

[10sugars.livejournal.com]

Thanks for signing my diary everyone~! I was so so glad to see really decent code geass cosplay in the UK! ^__^

[paintedreverie.livejournal.com]

[lina-lau.livejournal.com]

Cornelia cosplayers unite! \o/ There are precious few of us... T^T

[charmingvelvet.livejournal.com]

Amazing cosplay! I have the same outfit done but I need help with the boots. Where did you find white boots long enough and what did you use to paint it? Ty for any advice. :D
