Shipdaughters!

When?

Sunday afternoon

Where?

???

Ideas

• Ou!
  • Actually... as a speech bubble that would work
• Life ring
  • Ideally painted red and white
• Shimakaze in a kiddie pool would be cute and funny
• Some sort of teitoku crossover, we'll have uniforms on hand I think?
• Somewhere with a sunset over water would be nice
  • Like that I guess

• Drying off on deck (uniform is not accurate) furinkan/cosplay/Shimakaze/shimakaze01.jpg

• MP Zero cos has a collection of poses: http://mpzerocos.exblog.jp/21351128/

  • And paired ones (near the bottom of the page), which isn't quite as useful: http://mpzerocos.exblog.jp/21332611/

• Strappy underwear pull
• Saluting
• Kougou-style pointing
• Take the ferry out of darling harbour past the ships docked there
• I want to see Shimakaze having a good time, what would she do for fun?
• Would she ever have any clothing accessories like a scarf, etc?
• Titanic style pic, arms outstretched over the water
  • With water spray perhaps? Maybe in photoshop

  • Like these water effects: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1716841

• Hugging Rensouhou-chan: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1707797

  • More like this: http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1707458

• In silhouette over a cliff? http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1707244

• This'd be a cool lighting exercise, with the background something like from MGS2 (background all photoshopped): http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1706357

• Do we have other cosplayers on hand? http://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1705222

• Admiral patting her on the head
• Something with alcohol? Like... a fancy cocktail, with an umbrella in it. A fresh picture with a really summery theme. What would suit Shimakaze?

  • I asked the wrong people... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Fuck and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamikaze_%28cocktail%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_%28cocktail%29 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_on_the_Beach and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Breeze_%28cocktail%29 (this one is a good colour), and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tequila_Sunrise_%28cocktail%29 (also cool looking)

• Pretty pictures

• Woolloomooloo finger wharf might put boats in the background nicely: http://sydney-city.blogspot.com.au/2010/11/potts-point-woolloomooloo-bay.html
