Yoko Littner - Gurren Lagann
Yoko from: Gurren Lagann [a Japanese mecha anime series 2007]
Gurren Lagann takes place in a fictional future where Earth is ruled by the Spiral King, Lordgenome, who forces mankind to live in isolated subterranean villages. Yoko is the tritagonist of the series. She is a young woman from the village of Littner, and is introduced as a member of a small resistance against the beastmen. She helps introduce Simon and Kamina to the surface world, and becomes a member of Team Gurren soon after. She wields a high-powered energy rifle.
I wanted to make this costume because the series came up on my Netflix recommendations..
and it was fantastic! This character is EXTREMELY popular right now. Everyone seems to be cosplaying her.
This was actually one of the first costumes I made this year [2012], but it's one of the last to get worn. I have serious reservations about wearing something like this in public, [it shows way too much skin for me] but apparently under-boob is totally acceptable now-a-days. I try to never wear/make/encourage such skimpy costumes, but a fortune cookie told me to take a risk, so here we go! Plus, I didn't want to waste a perfectly good costume.
Costume consists of: black shorts, white belt, flame top, pink scarf, red wig, skull hair clip, gun, white boots, black gloves & bracelets.
I made the top, scarf, skull clip, and boot covers; and bought the little shorts and belt online.
Even though this is 1of the crappiest photo-shoots I've done.. I think I'm going to retire that little top. I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable wearing it in public. BTW my abs are highlighted with makeup.. I had a couple of people freak out at how insane they looked.
