Akasha cosplay bra (final)

Akasha cosplay bra (finished)

And here is where it all came together.  For the final part of the bra for the Akasha cosplay I did a layer of pearlescent purple paint, thinly sprayed using the airbrush (small amount of paint from the tip with a larger amount of air and distance).  I did this to get a very even dispersal of paint while leaving the silver color present.  In the above image you can see a bit of the purple shine in the upper left, but the effect is more pronounced without a camera flash.

Unfortunately, I am not great at holding a steady camera and have never found a reason for a tripod.  The above picture shows off the purple effect a bit better, even if it is a little blurry.  I may use a brush to add a little bit of shadow (using watered down black) to the low areas, but that will be a very minor touch.  I may also just leave it as-is since I'm content with how it looks.  The next part of the costume will be working on the skirt, which uses a combination of shells, chain, and bits of Turkamon jewlery.
