now I got all re-energized on old cosplay possibilities...
Nowadays, it doesn't matter much since you can just pause a game and get all the detailed full spin-around screencaps you need, but back in the day of PS1 and previous, it was a lot of guessing and fudging. There have been many a costume scheme that I had to shelf due to lack of sufficient references. But today, I just received two artbooks I didn't know existed previously, with artwork that includes...

Tomomi illustrations that I have - n e v e r - seen before...and some actually -legible- sizes of the ones I've gushed over their tiny counterparts for a decade now. SaGa Frontier is so frickin gorgeous in its totally crazy fab 80's kind of way.

Plus, just in time to make definite plans for next year's (finally) inevitable Legend of Dragoon group...it does exist = designs for Lloyd's end-game armor! Now I don't have to decipher the pixely PS1 battle polygon.

This'll be good for me. I haven't been excited about cosplay for a while, so perhaps it is bound to snowball into actually getting the 20-some -other- in-progress costumes worked on, too...?
