I made this little fella as a thank you present for someone. He wants to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!
Have a nice time and see you all back in 2016!

This pal is definitely NOT an unit from a known Tabletop game! All resemblance is pure coincidence!!!

Nice. Panda backpacks are way more common than pandas with backpack, but both exist, so no problem.

You are safe. Enjoy the holidays.

[red harvest]

Pandas taste delicious, y'know.

I see you've put the newly learned crochet skills to good use. That is very nice work on the Panda. But how can it *hug* with those arms? ;D

Frohes neues Jahr! ( Happy New Year?)

[Yashia]

Hi and hello in the new year!

2016 is a special year for me.
In summer I'll already be cosplaying for 5 years! Damn, time is running!
Also the next project will be my 10th cosplay and
I have done 5 (Aleph, Nomads, CA, Civvies and Tohaa) of 10 (including mercs) Infinity factions.

To celebrate this year of anniversary I decided to make a break of my "going through all the factions"-schedule and instead do a character whos concept I do like very much and whom I find to be very iconic for Infinity 2015. While I'm doing the preparations I let you guess who it'll be.

I hope you'll accompany me again this year! ^_^
Thanks for all your advise, Likes and comments!
Best regards, Yashia

Is it Penthesilea?!

[Bananovitch]

Moira or Lupe Balboa? Or maybe woman-like Achilles?

[Yashia]

Nope, sorry but no hit here.
Answer comes tomorrow.

[Mob of Blondes]

Sibylla. Iconic for Infinity, became very visible in 2015 as it appears in Army 5, a character from the group of already done (civilian)... it matches all conditions.

[Yashia]

Oh, really good guess! Indeed everything would fit perfectly! I'm really sorry to say that it's however not right

I'll now go and create a new post on the first page for the new project

[Errhile]

Good.
Because I really dislike Sybilla. Dunno I should consider it correlating with the armies I play

[Claudius Sol]

Hmm... Iconic of 2015 and from a faction you've already done. Isn't Penthesilea...

Atalanta isn't particularly iconic of 2015.
Joan would be a possible icon, but you've not done PanO yet.
Tohaa, then? Perhaps the Igao?

[Pierzasty]

Spoiler alert

it's the reverend healer

[Bananovitch]

Yup, it's on first page. I was close

[Mob of Blondes]

That is a character? It's AVA 1 but named with a "s" at the end, it's a group, Reverend Healers. We were trying things with unique personality.
But anyway.

[Yashia]

Oh, sorry, my mistake!
Tabletopwise it's an unit, not character, true!
I was thinking cosplaywise where the things you're cosplaying are characters.

Sorry! I'll try to keep that in mind for next time!

[Yashia]

The boots are nearly finished. They only need some touchs to make the details stand out better

[Mob of Blondes]

You must buy boots like those by full containers. Or are the extras removable?

[Yashia]

Nope. These are dedicated Healer-boots now

[Yashia]

A friend gave me this gun he found somewhere in his apartment
Only little changes where needed to make a "good enough" gun for the Reverend out of it. Let's do it like one of those kids quizzes:

Can you spot all five differences?

[H1ghlander]

1 - The red button no longer says 'A'.
2 - The grey button no longer says 'start'.
3 - The cord is removed.
4 - The grey button on the back near the hammer is now black (maybe lighting effect)
5 - The gun has been oriented 90 deg to the original picture orientation, as the wood grain is now horizontal instead of vertical.

[Claudius Sol]

I was also thinking of how to get a good gun for cosplay effects without having to recreate one. I suppose using a Time Crisis or similar video game gun is a good solution... I was leaning towards Nerf guns so that I could actually shoot something, hahaha!

Everything right. Except the fifth point wasn't intentional. The "real" fifth thing was the grey button on the bottom of the gun, but it's really hard to spot in the first picture

@ Claudius:
This was a lucky coincident. Nerf guns can be problematic at some conventions. See the convention rules befor visiting!

[red harvest]

Nope. These are dedicated Healer-boots now

♪♪♪These boots are made for healing, and that's just what they'll do
one of these days these boots are gonna heal all over you.

Are you ready boots? Start healing! ♪♪♪

All looks good. Do you have something in mind for the medi-pistol?

[Mob of Blondes]

Something you should keep an eye in the future: screen printed EL with plans to try to do it more DIY friendly.

[Yashia]

[...] Do you have something in mind for the medi-pistol?

No. The sword will be the main weapon. The pistol is already just for photo-purposes, the medi-gun won't be produced by me.

Thanks! Looks cool and promising

[Yashia]

Sewing gloves is a real pain...
And since these were less than 5€ I simply bought them


And unrelated:
Will someone be visiting this years Salut (London)?

Missing "e"? http://www.salute.co.uk/salute/salute-2016/ ?
Unrelated too ... remember to check in the weapons, bad idea to have them in the hand luggage.

Oh, right, sorry!

And no I won't go there with an Infinity-Cosplay. So no problems with guns

[Mob of Blondes]

And no I won't go there with an Infinity-Cosplay.

What a pity.

I didn't say I won't wear a Cosplay!

[Claudius Sol]

Clever word play, Yashia...
