Continuing on with more Star Ocean cosplays by Kojika. Today, we'll see Kojika dressed as both Rena and Claude from Second Story/Second Evolution from various photo shoots and conventions. I also have a photo of Kojika's Star Ocean 2 cosplay group, which was taken at Anime Expo 2003.

Right left to right - Kojika, himeko, Sakura85, and Urd-Chan. (User IDs for dA . . . that's all anyone's getting out of me. :))

Taken just the other night - Kojika decided to try on her Rena costume after many years and says the outfit fits her better now than it did in previous years. :) How about that?
There are more photos of Kojika as Rena. She's working on adding back a lot of the convention photos from before. So please bear with her on that. She's a busy gal in real life and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. :)
The following pictures are from NMACon (short for Northern Michigan Anime Convention) 2010.


Outdoor photos were taken outside near Great Wolf Lodge.






Did Claude do all of that? O_O ;)




I love the rock in the second photo. As I haven't had a chance to completely explore the grounds for Great Wolf Lodge, I don't know where it is . . . it's still very neat. :) And why does it look like Claude has an iPod? 0.o?


Sacred rock? Forest of Expel? Who can really say? :)




I've seen some of Kojika's cosplays as Faize (which appear over the weekend), and . . . I think Claude's taking after Faize . . . :) Are they somehow related?



This photo wasn't taken at NMACon . . . I don't remember where Kojika said, but it's still a nice shot. :)
I'm pretty sure Kojika has more Claude pictures. I'm actually glad I chose the ones from NMACon 2010 simply because of the scenery alone. While it's held in Traverse City, Michigan, there are still plenty of forest-like areas near the city so it makes for a very realistic-looking setting. :) I haven't played Second Story/Second Evolution just yet, but I know it's on an underdeveloped planet. The scenery works out beautifully.
No chapter to add to Destinies Intertwined by Fate just yet. Perhaps over the weekend. When I first started to write the outline for the story, I got as far as Chapter Three (the current chapter in progress) and with two PoVs - Fayt and then Albel. I'm still working with Fayt because of the internal struggles he's been facing thus far in the story.
Hope everyone's enjoying the Cosplay by Kojika! Albel will appear on Thursday. :)
Edit 04/19/2012:
This is actually a post-dated entry . . . was waiting on the use of a certain computer after getting the Rena picture since Claude was not on the computer I was using when Kojika posted it to dA . . . Anyway, I have been informed by Kojika that the photos for both the Albel and Claude shoots were actually done at the Northwestern Michigan College campus and not Great Wolf Lodge (where last year's NMACon was held). The last photo of Claude was taken at Kolliscon at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles, IL.
I feel so silly . . . I used to attend that college . . . :) But it's been so many years so . . . Still doesn't stop me from feeling so silly, though.
