Honored to win Best in Master at Anime Fargo this year! My friend Kiyo modeled for me since he was originally made for my 2020 measurements and she more closely matched them. I couldn't have done it without her ♡
I got to do a lot of really cool research for this cosplay, including going to my local fire department and trying on actual firefighter turnout gear! The real stuff is very heavy
I made the wig more or less entirely from scratch, patterned the pants myself, burnt holes into his stripes for 'authenticity', and made a pair of 'petticoat pants' to keep the poof shape of the pants.
Here's the walk on! I'm hidden behind stage and feed Galo the matoi just off camera. Thank you @siyuki1234 for recording!
