#not sure how I can submit them in the cosplay gallery of the critrole site because they only accept links. Am I supposed to link this post ?

This Sunday, me and my sister took advantage of the weather (not very creepy, very sunny, but the light was beautiful) and the fact that we live in the area to go and take some photos at the famous Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris (fun-scary !).

This is my first cosplay ever - I've done events in historical costumes before, but those were rented and it's not quite the same vibe. Also it's not quite finished, I'm still missing the hammer hair piece, I'm not satisfied with the white strand, and the hands feel too "clean". Also my sister took the pictures and then I modified some of them, but I'm not a professional by any means, so it mostly meant me opening Paint and the Microsoft software ^^

Also, and this is the major problem, I did NOT realize when I was doing the make-up and the hair, that I put the lock of hair and the mouche on the wrong side. On the official portrait, you (as a viewer) see them on the left, but it's the character's RIGHT… and I put them on MY left, when I should have put them on my RIGHT. "But wait", you say, "on these photos everything's the right way round !", and yes, you're right, it's because I edited the photos and managed to flip them like a mirror image, to hide the fact that I'm a dumbass. (My sister laughed, and said it's wasn't a big deal and that my cosplay could be different in that way ; but I have control problems).

... Still I'm happy with the results of this day.
