Hi!! I'm the one who posted the Yusuke gender meme a while back. So...I finished it the anime. I FUCKING LOVED IT. I've almost watched all the OVAs, and I think I might stop by my library to pick up the manga, oh my fucking gosh incredible. Wonderful. INSANE IT WAS SO GOOD
Anywho Kurama and Kuwabara are my two favorite characters, with Kurama just fucking BARELY beating Kuwabara out by one flamboyant-ass hair's width. Like so many before me I fell H A R D for the little fox boy, and I needed to cosplay him.
I made the wig here! It's two wigs, actually, styled together, and it took two weeks. I refuse to tally up how many hours it was. I took these by myself with my remote and a tripod, and everything you see actually exists--the rose petals, the hair flips, the solar flare, the sunset, all of it. It's all just good timing and GREAT luck with mother nature cooperating so unbelievably nicely T~~~~~T
I actually made his yellow battle outfit too!! I wore it to this past Otakon, and I plan on wearing it again soon. I didn't have it ready for this shoot, but I wouldn't have wanted it anywho--I was going more for the romance cover vibes <3<3
Thanks for looking!! I loved making him, I can't wait to wear him more!!
Thank you so much!!!!! I did end up wanting to do him after I finished this, and honestly I feel like I'd pull that off a little better XD One of my go-to cosplays is already a kitsune with a big long tail and giant ears--I can just recyle all the patterns to make them white and be good to go (also I can be tits out which is a lot more comfortable XD Not that I can't with Kurama, but he dresses so modestly......it's a different vibe ;;;)
it's SUCH a good word XD and YES!!!! I was absolutely thinking about the sass of him killing a man and then doing a hair flip about it. what an amazing little bastard XD
i think so too, especially if it's the top of the wig that's dense.... a project for later 👀👀
aaaaaAAAA /////// THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I really appreciate it....... I made this in such a mad, twitterpated rush, I fell in love with this little fuckin' fox boy and then I needed to cosplay him *immediately* XD Thank you!!!!!
oh my fucking GOSH thank you so much!!!! really!!!!! I have trouble with "cool" characters because I am very much not that, but I really wanted to get this boy right..... Aahhh, I've seen so many wonderful cosplays of him too.... thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!! I'm so happy with how these came out!!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! T~~~~~~~~T <3,3<3<3<3
so!!! with his hair, I realized after looking at a bunch of 80s hairstyles that it's just a heavily feathered mullet XD this is two wigs put together to get the extra volume, BUT--if you got a long wig, teased the hell out of it, cut it into a mullet with long feathered layers at the back (and his two long hair bits at the front), and then curled those long layers out while smoothing just the back of the head down/tying it half up/half down....I feel like it would come close to his actual hair. It's expensive, but I'm tempted to try this again with just one wig to see if my suspicions are correct
mr steal your girl.... and your mirror..... and your gold.... and your vision...... any your unborn son's soul,.....;;;
it was a happy accident!!! arda was out of stock for the color i originally wanted for these, so i went one shade darker, and MAN what a good choice it ended up being. My skin is really red to begin with, and I think the super-saturated color i was gonna go with initially would have made me look like a tomato--this has juuuuust enough depth that it doesn't do that, and i the way the light catches on it makes it look like some parts are that bright red anyway
THANK YOU THEY WERE SO IMPORTANT AND I AGONIZED OVER THEM
Ahh..... I was thinking about him just going off on his own for this!! The idea of him being a bit of an envoy, wandering here and there between the different realms as he goes about his business and passes messages along.... it's a really nice thought <3<3
THANK YOU I AM SO PROUD OF IT. It's already lasted through one super-hot, muggy summer day, and twelve hours in a car along with being at a summer con.......I'm SO PLEASED with it T0T

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! i worked SO HARD to get it right, and I think I spent a week straight looking up other cosplayers to see how they handled the wig. Kurama is one of those characters who ARE their hair, so I knew if I worked really hard on it, I'd have something I could throw on with pretty much any clothes and be good to go. Wigs are my weakest skill when it comes to cosplay, so I'm so so so so SOOO proud of how this came out ><
