Description Trinity Blood cosplay!!

Kinnara as Radu Barvon
~Shu-Maat as Seth Nightroad

Both costumes, armours and hats are made from scratch by Kinnara; paintings, Seth’s decorations and shoes by Shu
Resin gems, wigs and make-up by Kinnara and Shu
Tuning fork-weapons by Ahkhan and Shu

Our Empire couple in the official photo from the event NiMi Festival 2011 in Florence. We added a pair of new details, and still there's more to be done... A TB costume is never really finished...

Our outfits contain about 200 resin gems cast by us, and God-knows-how-many meters of trims, all custom dyed and altered. The beads, diamonds, Chinese knots and frogs on Radu’s outfit are also hand made. But we hope these costumes are not just a matter of numbers, but of style and design. We did our best to understand and follow Thores Shibamoto’s concept, with more than a hint of our personal taste of course.
More detailed credits and commentary and babbling here [link] more shoots in our gallery or ~Shu-Maat ’s one.

Hail to TB!

Grazieee! Trinity Blood pur essendo serio si presta a un sacco di battute (gli autori stessi lo fanno!), ogni tanto ci piace fare gli scemi XDDD

Bacione!!

Beh direi che va benissimo così! Se si prendono le cose troppo sul serio poi si rischia di non divertirsi più...

Thank you soooo much! You cannot know how happy we are, to hear these words! Yes, the gems were quite a lot and the process was quite toxic I'm afraid, but they looked great, especially the big ones!

Thank you so much again, dear!

Hello! I really like the details of armor and a red ribbon (I do not know how to call it). Very nice and neat! * _ *

Cospoison In reply to luiren [2012-04-11 23:30:21 +0000 UTC]

Hi to you, and sorry for the delay! We are so glad you took the time to look at all our details, and that you appreciated them. The red "ribbon" or "belt" is probably named a "baldric", you know, that kind of belt used to carry a sword on the hip, or just as part of a uniform.
Thank you very much again for everything, sincerly!!!

Always so impressive these both cosplay ^^
I do not even imagine numbers of hours as you put to realize your gems 200. It is the truth works silversmith whom you achieved ^^
Still bravo for you work enormous.

Cospoison In reply to MrSeta [2012-02-19 11:13:49 +0000 UTC]

Thank you soooooooo very much for all of your attention!
Oh well, the gems indeed required quite a long work (especially because there also was another costume, similar to these, which never got finished, but had another good 100 gems), but we did start on time. Other tasks were even more time consuming... for example, most of Radu's gold trim is hand stitched! ^^'
But well, one can spend huge amounts of time and money, but that doesn't automatically make the result a success. The final outlook is more important than statistics, isn't it?

MrSeta In reply to Cospoison [2012-02-19 11:30:18 +0000 UTC]

I completely agree with this, even if I think that the enjoyment must be big when, having to spend so much hour on your cosplay, you see that they are magnificent and that they are appreciated ^^
