OK SOO in the meantime, I was working on a little project that I thought of bringing to a local con.. meet the Daru Upa, or just Darupa!! Since I discovered that there's official merch of the main Steins;Gate characters as the lil' mascots of the fictional anime RaiNet, including Daru, of course I wanted to try and make one out in paper machè! It's not the first time I make something in this tecnique for a cosplay (I forgot to post them here whoops) but it was still challenging to make.. especially the hair.. this whole critter took me 5 days to make but at least from now on I'll have a small friend that will keep me company on my desk while I work!
