@Weisel Ahh, yay! Thank you for the tutorial, I can tell I'm
gonna have a lot of fun with it. XD
[sub]*whispers* You are adorable![/sub]
Nezumi's hair is really funny, when you think about it. He just
freaking ties it up in a knot. Because why not.
(He is so cool. He is the epitome of cool. Look at that ugly as
heck yellow shirt. So cool. Yeah.)
I think it's interesting that you used what looks like a gray
wig instead of black or dark blue. Any reason why?
I also like how doing Nezumi's hair requires one to be patient
and gentle, two things Nezumi is not. Hehe.

A great tutorial. ^^ Thanks for your effort. It was really
interesting, although I'm not that much into cosplay.

Haha, it's amazing how he ties his hair in 0,5 seconds in the
anime. Hmm...reminds me of this here -> Click me!

@Vox: No problem!
And I don't know how to react to a compliment in text... I
usually just blush and cover my face and try to say something
along the lines of "thank you" and awkwardly stumble over my own
words. So I guess imagine that.
(And that yellow shirt... When it's getting close to laundry day
and I'm forced to wear that shirt, I'm actually completely
embarrassed. What a color.)
The color of my wig is actually a mix of blue and gray, but I'm
sure my pictures are a bit off in color. I just took a picture
of different shades of blue papers and the lighter ones became
orange in the photo. It's not a super vibrant blue anyway, but I
like how the gray makes the overall color a little duller. Some
cosplays I want to be bright and shiny, but not Nezumi. Eve,
maybe... Actually I bought some sparkly things for my Eve
cosplay the other day. Not important, but I love shiny cosplays.
And trust me, you will have to remind yourself to be patient and
gentle, despite what your inner Nezumi might want. I've had that
wig for two years and it has seen some hard times, considering I
knew just about nothing about wigs when I got it. So it's been
abused and cried on a lot. At least it's held up this whole
time!
@Ahiku: Thanks! And hey, cosplay's not for everyone. It's a
ridiculous hobby that you spend all your time and money on and
then you torture yourself by wearing clothes inappropriate for
the weather. It takes a special kind of insanity, I think.
I'd like to try redoing my photos for the tutorial so it's a
little clearer and less sloppy. I didn't want to make excuses,
but halfway through documenting that, my huge headache decided
to come back and by the time I was done I was ready to rip that
wig right off. I didn't, though. I patiently and gently took it
off, and then ripped out the pins and wig cap from my hair.
Also I think my Nezumi wig deserves a little love and care. It's
too hot here to do anything else, anyway... Time for a bath,
Nezumi!

@Weisel Hehe. You're welcome ^,.,^
I like Nezumi's shirt from the manga much better. (The white one
with black sleeves -

It looks like
the kind of thing I think is cool in general.
TBH, I don't think the people who designed the outfits for the
anime were really that good at fashion to begin with. Eve's
dress is endlessly disappointing to me. I mean, it's alright,
but if I were to cosplay Eve I'm pretty sure I'd put him in
something else. On one hand, it's well designed because it
minimizes his male-ness (I know this because I have a friend who
is a really great cross-dresser and she's looked at the clothing
science behind it), but on the other hand, it's ugly. Of course,
he's stuck in the West Block, and it's not like nice dresses
grow on trees. But it doesn't look like they took that into
account anyway.
Nezumi's coat/scarf combo is interesting, and Shion's outfit is
alright (especially in the manga, where they gave him a beanie
once). Safu, though... I've never seen a more generic-looking
heroine in my life. Yeesh.
Oh, I've got a question. What do you do about Nezumi's pants?
Usually people just sort of shred them in really fake and
awkward looking ways. I mean, they looked fake and awkward in
the anime, but that doesn't mean cosplayers have to play by
those rules, hehe.
Also, thanks for making this tutorial even though you weren't
feeling so great. It's much appreciated. =)

@Vox: I agree wholeheartedly on the shirt. I actually had a
dream two nights ago that I found a shirt just like that and
bought it. I was really disappointed when I woke up.
And I feel like you're right about their fashion sense. I mean,
nearly everything in the anime is stuff I wouldn't wear outside
of cosplay. I do like how Shion and Nezumi look in the manga,
though. Better shirt and I like the beige sweater on Shion a lot
more. I do remember listening in the No.6 DVD commentary that
they changed some colors to brighten up their designs for the
anime... Not sure if that was a wise move, guys. (Of course I
end up wearing it all anyway, psh.) And when I cosplay Eve, it's
a variation on what Eve looks like in the manga, so it'll be
pretty different from the anime dress. (I'm pretty sure I'd look
bad in that dress, anyway, even if I did like it.) Everyone's
just a lot prettier in the manga!
As for pants, that's something I want to improve on as well. The
cuts are a little fake looking on mine, but definitely not the
"VVV" kind of cut. I'm currently trying to rough up the edges
more with a seam ripper to mess up the loose fibers even more.
It seems to be working pretty well. I'll post a picture on my
blog when I'm all done so you can see what it looks like in the
end. So I guess my best advice on that is avoid the "VVV"
pattern and use a seam ripper to make it look more "natural." If
only Nezumi would just tuck his darn pant leg into his boot, it
wouldn't look like that.
And I'm always happy to help with things like tutorials! I did
consider putting it off a day when the headache started, but I
really wanted to get something posted for you soon even if it
wasn't perfect just so you'd have something to start with. I'm
planning to improve what I have, though. My Nezumi wig just got
a bath and is drying now! Anyway, I really really love to be
able to help with cosplay stuff since I love it so much! Plus
then you don't have to spend two years of trial and error on
your cosplays.
Okay, I'm rambling. I think it's because I'm hungry. Maybe.

@dragonflame185: Sorry for taking so long answering this! I
meant to post a tutorial before I left for A-kon but it got
crazy busy before I could actually do it. I'll try to post
something once I get home a few days from now. But for right
now, I'll tell you that my makeup method for Shion's scar is
using a few layers of different products, starting with a
primer, then lip liner, then filling that in with blush, then a
layer of finishing powder followed by a makeup setter. You can
use relatively cheap products from a drug store for your color
and the rest is makeup essentials that definitely have uses for
other than just a scar. I find that it doesn't quite survive a
whole con day without rubbing onto my white shirt a bit, so my
other method I'm using for situations like that where I need it
to last a long time without worrying about the mess is using
athletic tape. It's not as natural looking as the makeup method,
but they both are pretty practical. Athletic tape is cheap to
find online with an entire roll only being a few dollars and the
only downfall is that it's like ripping off a bandaid when you
take it off afterwards. I'd recommend using the makeup method
for things like photo shoots where tiny little details really
matter since it ends up looking really natural on your skin if
you do it right. The tape method is great for cons when you need
that mark to stay right where it is without any worries. I'll
try to get a proper post up about it once I get home.
And I'm so glad to hear you like your wig! I've been hoping it'd
turn out well for you!

I'll probably go back and improve it later once I'm done with
moving next month. Things have been awfully busy.

There's my tips on Nezumi's scarf! I can't believe how long it
took me to actually post that. I promise I meant to do this a
lot sooner.
