Close-up.

Makeup

I didn't record any of it... It appears to mainly be grey and pink. I'm pretty sure the eyeliner was Lantern Light...

Hair

The hair is some kind of bun or small ponytail, meant to evoke the look of a rabbit's tail, in white or a very pale grey. None of the shots here really show it, however...

Outfit

Body: Strawberry Lace Yukata (lilac), Kanokoi, Eastern and Girly
Footwear: probably Strawberry Mary Janes (lilac), Marble Lily, Babydoll?
Headwear: Rabbit Ear Hairband (white), Purple Moon, Lively
Neckwear: Cute Fairy Choker (purple), Purple Moon, Lively and Psychedelic
Gloves: Lace Gloves (white, Marble Lily, Babydoll

Count D (SSFF Outfit)

Another lazily-postworked shot of Quartz dressed as Count D.
It's not all that visible, but the right eye is now sort of yellow. It sort of turned out mostly brown, but...

Makeup

Eyebrows: p1, Natural
Eyeshadow: Cherry Blossom (pinks) (?)
Eyeliner: Ruby (reds)
Mascara: long, Jet Black
Contacts: Metropolis Navy (blue-purples)
Blush: full cheek (setting 1) in Sunlight Sand (light browns)
Lipstick: glossy Night Rose (reds)

I had been going to use a purple lipstick because D's lips are often a dark purple colour, but... they're clearly red in the illustration I based this off, and he's always changing his hair and makeup colours, apparently, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I also might have overdone it with the eyeshadow, it looks a little too heavy. It looks as if he's only wearing red or pink eyeliner in the illustration...

Hair

Side-Swept Bob in Jet Black with Midnight Ocean highlights?

Outfit

Top: Mandarin Collar Tunic (blue), Raven Candle, Gothic
Pants: Gothic Bootcuts (black), Raven Candle, Gothic and Bold
Footwear: Embroidered Ankle Boots (blue), Kanokoi, Eastern
Earrings: Large Gem Earrings (black), Chorale, Feminine
Gloves: Arm Warmers (blue), Basic U, Basic and Feminine

Vampire Hunter D (SSFF Outfit)

Upper-body shot of the Vampire Hunter D inspired cosplay.

Makeup

Eyebrows: f#@$in' invisible... what the
Eyeshadow: possibly Science Lion (dark browns)
Eyeliner: possibly Science Lion (dark browns)
Mascara: long, Jet Black, or possibly Chimney Soot (dark browns)
Contacts: Golden Arch, Gold Star, or Gold Bell (yellows)
Blush: cheekbone counter (setting 3) most likely in Owl Stone (dark browns)
Lipstick: glossy Chimney Soot (I'm pretty sure...)

I didn't record anything about the makeup at the time, so it's just guesswork at this point. I vaguely remember using what felt like a lot of dark browns.

Hair

Long & Wavy with M-Shaped Fringe, most likely in Piano (reds) or Chimney Soot, likely with Piano, Glamorous Garnet, or Chimney Soot highlights. It's mostly likely Piano with Chimney Soot highlights... but since I never wrote notes on the hair...

I'm sort of proud of how the hair turned out... unfortunately, that didn't motivate me enough to actually write down the details of just what it is that I did.

Outfit

I lost my original notes on this, so this may not be totally accurate to what was in the pictures...

Inner: Gothic High Neck (black), Raven Candle, Gothic and Chic
Top: Chain-Fastened Waistcoat (blue), Raven Candle, Gothic
Outer: Worn-Away Patterned Coat (black), Stage Dive, Rock
Pants: Skinny Leather Trousers (black), Enid Chen, Chic and Rock
Footwear: Back-Lacing Boots (black), AZ-USA, Bold
Headwear: Wide Brim Hat (black), Enid Chen, Chic
Earrings: Bat Drop Earrings (silver and black), Raven Candle, Gothic and Rock
Neckwear: Sapphire Necklace, Purple Moon, Girly and Feminine
Gloves: Arm Warmers (black), Basic U, Basic and Feminine, or Woolly Arm Warmers (black), Chorale, Feminine

A lot of pictures to follow... I had trouble getting myself to change out of this one. :)

Style Savvy: Reload Blast

A few days ago I started playing the demo of Style Savvy: Styling Star... I was almost shocked that the demo was already out, I was thinking in terms of Nintendo's usual delays. I figured... next year, maybe. But here it is! I've replayed it multiple times already. While I started out just making another character that sort of looked like me, as I was selecting the droopy eyes... I noticed a similarity to a familiar character...

Behold! Female Genjo Sanzo. Maybe all he needed to cure his grouchiness was for his worst nightmare to come true. Now he'll have to spend the rest of his life fighting off a certain horny water sprite. Uahahahaha...

Don't smile like that, Female Sanzo, people will think you've lost your mind. Where's the cranky bastard we all know and... love(??)...?

So, yes... Winceworthy as it is, I really did have a genderbent Genjo Sanzo running around my demo version in charge of a boutique named Saiyuki. Running around monkeyless. Totally monkeyless. Where is the monkey? Nothing fun happens without the monkey. (Maybe that's why s/he's smiling so serenely...)

I had a lot of fun with the demo... I'm just a little frustrated that Nintendo is opting for no retail version in North America. I'm really not fond of the push towards digital only.

And now for a huge long string of pictures, ended with some little vapid blurb of opinions.
