Join us at Gen Con 2010! We have some of our favorites and new workshops on costumes, makeup, wings and accessories, props, and more.
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE
Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE is a mashup of most of CLAMP's previous work, as the protagonists leap through a series of worlds and meet characters from fan-favorite universes. While at first it may appear to be just an excuse for CLAMP to trot out their previous successes, be warned that there is serious plot coming.
These costumes were based on artbook images. CLAMP loves to torture costumers.

Slayers (& Slayers Vegas)
Based on a series of novels, the Slayers anime first aired in 1993. We took our character designs from the newest in the series, Slayers Revolution (2008) and Evolution-R (2009).
These costumes were tough! They have tons of detail which isn't visible to the casual glance -- each character has embroidery appropriate to character themes, for example. Gourry's Sword of Light really lights through an etched blade, and Zelgadiss' sword glows red with its enhancing spell. Lina's power amulets all light as well. These were very challenging and much fun!
Awards

- Second Place Professional Division, Gen Con 2009

The Insane Wingéd Project of Doom
Actually, these character designs are from a truly awful (and rightfully obscure) video game called Animamundi: Dark Alchemist, but we prefer to think of the alchemist, archangel and demon as rooted in the tale of Faust.Moving, articulated, 12-foot wingspans! What's not to love?

The NOTW Paperback Adventure
This was our entry for The Name of the Wind paperback release photo contest.
The contest, in April 2008, consisted of these instructions by author Patrick Rothfuss: "Your job will be to go out and take a picture of yourselves with a copy of the paperback. Then you post those pictures up here in the event. Then, at the end of the month, I'll give prizes to the best of these."
We had done some cosplay for Pat's book before, and so I guess we couldn't resist going just a bit crazy for this. Here's the result.
Update: Grand Prize winner!
