| A character who has fast reached my No.2 spot in "Favourite All Time Characters" in a series that has become my 2nd favourite anime. Well, Kamina was one of my easier costumes. The trousers just had an adapted waistband I added on, and some iron-on bias binding around the bottoms. Not clever but works as well as anything else. No decent sandals for me this time, I borrowed a friends. Wig was easier to style then I expected. Foam head I got from Kelly really helped, and I used the method of doing each spike individually with pins. :) Shades were made from 3mm acrylic plastic cut with a hacksaw, sanded, and then heated over a hob for a slight curve in the center. I am to make them stick to my face, but for Minami I just propped them up in one of Kamina's poses. The tattoos were done by Takuropop, and what an amazing job she did! :O So yeah. One basic Kamina done. Next time, at Amecon, I aim to have improved shades, cape, and sandals! :D | |

Extra points for Strongbad referencing!
This is a very Mark-ish character looks wise...I swear I will watch this series at some point too. When ya making it for homie?
this is on my "too watch" list so i better get round to it before you cosplay it :D i take it your not doing this before may expo due to the cols weather and the inset of harded mark nips :S
Kamina!! 0__0
Good luck with this! The world needs so many more Gurren Lagann cosplayers!
And you forgot the AWESOME SPEC'S on that list!
You're doing Kamina too? Awesome! Word of advice for you that I got from a friend. Take multiple pairs of glasses. He had one pair break on him when he was traveling down ^^;;
All i'm thinking right now is
"GIGA DRILL BREAKER!!"
Uni: I used a basic Kryolan Aquacolour water based paint (posh facepaint basically, but only a little more expensive than stuff like Snazaroo) applied with a brush. All you need someone with a steady hand and a Kamina who can stay still for a long time. VICTORY!
Mark, this was awesome... you and Kelly looked HAWT.
I still have no idea what Gurren Lagann is but you and Kelly looked awesome!
You both look excellent mate, well done!
Just had to say I thought you two looked awesome at Minami! one of the best Gurren Lagann cosplays i've ever seen ^-^
AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
A-ANIKI?!!? *is punched in the face!!*
Can't wait to see you as Kamina at Amecon 8D Any idea what day you'll be cosplaying as him yet?
haha as ive said before mate i really love this
Nice Tatts

And i mean TATTOOS lol
Cool cos dude the wig dyed really well and the Acryllic must have been a buggar cut to shape evenly and to get so smooth..
THE NEW WIG MARK LOOKS AWSOME LMAO AT FIRST I THOUGHT (IN THE OLD PICS WITH UR OLD WIG) I WAS LIKE WHY IS HE WEARING A FLOWER ON HIS HEAD LMAO the flower in the background looks like your wearing it lol
Ah i see Tak! Well it certainly shows its good quailty!
Loving the new wig re-styling Mark, see you at Ame!

" screw you otaku and your hentai, i have this, myess its reall too"
