Bleach: Neliel Tu Oderschvank 02
Sometimes, I don’t understand why people feel the need to Photoshop images when the original is already impressive enough as it is.
Take this for example:
Do you remember this image? This is the original picture of the previous Neliel cosplay that I posted.
As you can see, she is quite pretty. So why would people still want to edit it?
Then again, it may have been merely for Photoshop practice. The edited version was actually made by Deviant Artist, Opeth Metal.
I don’t know about you guys, but I think I appreciate this original cosplay more now that I’ve seen the 2 versions. Metal’s photo manipulation was definitely impressive, but I like natural looking cosplays better.

I’m really glad you featured this. I just thought the photoshopping was kinda sad because it took away a lot from the original cosplay, and it really didn’t leave enough credit to the cosplayer.
Her wig is gorgeous.

Amethyst Lover: I know.
Shizuka: If I had known about the Photoshop-ing earlier, I would have just featured the original one.
Also, I’m happy to see cosplayers reading my blog! You have a wonderful gallery, and I will do my best to feature you as soon as possible.

Image manipulation is impressive, but real cosplayers are even more impressive than CG-ed ones. ~_~;;;

I thought the first one was the original.

Nope, this is the original one… I prefer it better than the photoshop one.
