The Young Attendant

Posted with Permission.

Sporting my first true cosplay here. This photo and pose is quite special to me. Back when I was obsessed with Medli during my first Wind Waker playthroughs, my strategy guide had an image of Medli standing like this. And I loved it so much that I drew it constantly to the point of being able to replicate the pose without any references at all.

Here you can see really well what I did with my legs. I'm so proud of how they turned out (even though the right craft foam bit apparently rubbed a blister on the back of my leg. It finally healed just yesterday). I worked so hard to make this as perfect as possible, even working up until 6 in the morning to finish things on it. So yes, lots of time, effort, and love goes into this one single photo. It warms my heart.
