Xianghua 2 by Shiya Xianghua 2 by Shiya
Photo by :iconabbottw: :>

Old costume I made 2 years ago and decided to randomly wear again with my friend's Talim~

Gonna copy paste cause I'm too lazy...


This Xianghua version is from Soul Calibur IV
The day was super windy! Can you tell by my wig wanting to blow away? XDXD My eyes were watering so bad.

I guess it's been a while:

Majority of this costume has dye work (gloves, jacket, all of the trim and ropes) because color matching trim was kinda hard. Some of the aqua is done by Jaquard textile paint (as well as the whole back design).
I used sculpey for some of the smaller designs (the butterfly choker) I don't remember how long this costume took me to make. It's been so long ;;

this is the best costume I've seen and you pull it off so well. Trust me when I say the wind helped with this shot. So realistic.
