Into the west

Koyo et moi avons eu la chance de nous rendre en juin dernier à une exposition des œuvres de John Howe, illustrateur éponyme du Seigneur des Anneaux de Tolkien. Et pas besoin de migrer vers la capitale. Cette exposition s'est tenue pendant près d'un mois à 5 minutes de chez nous à La Baule à la Chapelle Sainte-Anne (si si c'est possible).

Nous connaissions déjà bon nombre des oeuvres présentées mais c'est avec un plaisir partagé que nous avons scruté les coups de pinceaux du maître.
Seul petit regret, aucune information quant aux techniques utilisées par Howe et pas de carton explicatif décrivant les tableaux.

Koyo and I were lucky to attend a great exhibition last June ! We went to see John Howe's work (the famous Tolkien's Lord of the Rings illustrator). And hopefully, we did not need to go to Paris. Indeed, the exhibition took place in our hometown La Baule at the small Sainte-Anne Chapel (I'm not kidding !).

We already knew the major part of the exhibited works but we took time to examine every details of Howe' style.
We had just one regret : not having any information about Howe's techniques or the paintings.



La bêtise est un cadeau. BE BAKA !

Yu Yu Hakusho: Kurama 04

yu yu hakusho cosplay - kurama 04Minamino Shuichi, more commonly known as Kurama, is the human side of the Thief King, Youko. He is analytical, cunning, and very protective over the people he cares about. He is merciless to anyone who poses as a threat and was thought to become the strongest member of the Urameshi group until Yusuke Mazuko lineage awoke. Kurama is also self-sacrificing and therefor recieves the most serious wounds in battle.

This is one of the older pictures I have in my hard drive. I was surprise to have found it after so long. So which Kurama cosplayers do you prefer among the four: the first, second, third, or this post?

I can’t decide at all… 8)

Ouran High School Host Club: Hitachiin Hikaru and Hitachiin Kaoru

ouran high school host club cosplay - hitachiin hikaru and hitachiin kaoruThe “little devil” types of the Ouran High School Host Club, Hitachiin Hikaru and Hitachiin Kaoru are the twins who show their “forbidden brotherly love” to their customers, do the delight of many girls.

The brothers are quite an interesting pair who rely on each other through moments of loneliness. They are cynical to the world and they do not trust anyone. This is due to a certain event in their past involving their favorite maid.

They love playing the “Which is Hikaru?” game that no one ever gets correctly once they mess us each other’s hair styles. The only one who could tell them apart correctly is Fujioka Haruhi.

I wonder if these cosplayers are twins too? Can anyone guess which is Hikaru?

Tantei Gakuen Q: Amakusa Ryu

Tantei Gakuen Q, also known as Detective School Q, is a story about class Q from the prestigious detective academy, Dan Detective School founded by Dan Morihiko, the most famous detective in Japan.

tantei gakuen q cosplay - amakusa ryuRyu is an intelligent student who has links with the “murder designers” organization, Pluto. Although he is cold and distant as a child, he is friendly with the students of Class Q, especially Renjo Kyu, the star student.

I really miss this series. Ryu was my favorite character and the anime didn’t really mention what happened to Ryu and Pluto in the end. Did anyone read the manga? What happened in the ending?

Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche: Leona

unknown cosplay 002 - magna carta: the phantom of avalanche cosplay - leonaSo far, no one has a good guess as to where the kids from Unknown Entry 001 comes from. Maybe I should make this a regular feature in my blog. Every Monday, maybe?

So how about this girl? White dress, long hair, strange looking headdress… Absolutely no idea where she’s from or how accurate the cosplay is.

Anyone care to give their guess?

EDIT: Thank you very much to Angel, who’s left her comment in my blog stating that this girl is cosplaying as Empress Leona from Magna Carta: The Phantom of Avalanche. There’s very little info about the character, but she seems to be the antagonist of the game.
