Serious Samurai

This is yet another picture from Anime Expo, done with the same camera and taken on the same day...This picture appears to suffer from some antiquing, but it still gives this picture a really nice effect, especially since the subject is more appropriate for an antique treatment. Although the bus in the background gives away the fact that this picture was taken in the modern day, the costume itself is enough to whisk oneself back to feudal Japan...I mean, it's got so many details to it! It looks so amazing that I could seriously use this as a reference picture if I feel like drawing a samurai...If this costume was made by the person inside of it, I have only the highest regards for them. And this person's eyes just give off this intensely serious look, the kind of look you'd expect from someone devoted only to the way of the warrior...
