The fusion of cultures and time periods and scale and sheer bizarrity has been an inspiration both to my artwork and [...]

Since we missed out on most of the Ohayocon action, Elemental took a few extra solo shots of Saeru’s Xaldin and my Xigbar cosplays at Kawa Kon, a little convention in St. Louis.

Saeru’s and Dual_wielder’s skit featuring Anti-Sora and Shadow Roxas appeared at New York Anime Fest 2008 Masquerade for the World Cosplay Summit Preliminaries.
