Shiva

Shiva is one of my dream costumes. It was an experience, at times not a pleasant one...but I'm so glad I did it. The blue is body paint, took 6 hours to put on and 3 and a half to scrub off.

I made everything myself, including the bikini bottom, shoes, and wig. I have to massively thank ~acesquad and my husband for helping with the body paint because I could not EVER have done all of it without their help (literally, I couldn't reach my back XD)

Unfortunately for this photo, I left the feather tail thing at the hotel, and my husband had to run to get it. It appears in other photos during this shoot (which was like 3 hours long x_x) but at the beginning of the photos I didn't have it.

THANK YOU to *BalthierFlare for an amazing experience at this year's Otakon - I probably would have never even tried to attempt Shiva if not for your group idea. And thanks to all my amazing fellow FFX group members as well. You guys rock!
