Full Body of Rengoku! This was a fun try on make up test. ? Hopeing to shoot this BB very soon! I created this based off of some amazing genderbend Rengoku artwork floating around! (Will tag the artist and share photo when I post a side by side) I originally bought a mens Large Rengoku cosplay. Then decided to make a long pleated skirt! I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT! ?? Got some cheap boots and painted on the flames and then heavily modified the wig! (Video on Ptron) I also sewed in some snaps to the cape and shirt so it would stop falling off. I was planning on bringing this cheeto to Fanime! Hopefully next year. ??? . Full set and wig video as well as selfies on P@treeeon link up above! ? . #rengoku #rengokucosplay #rengokukyoujorou #kimetsunoyaibacosplay #kimetsunoyaiba #anime #manga #vizmedia #shonenjump #fire #genderbendcosplay #flamehashira #demonslayer #demonslayercosplay #cosplaytest #cosplaymakeup #cosplaytryon
