Nunchaku

For the Final Fantasy Roundup Turks thing on Friday of October Expo. I'm not sure how, but I volunteerd for this one. I won't complain as it looks like fun =).

Vaan

Another one that's just for a bit of fun. =)

Plus Vaan's bloody awesome in my opinion.

Zidane Tribal: Tail... FIXED!

After completely rebuilding the tail using elastic rather than rubber bands, it's actually BETTER than it was before. I'll upload a photo or two soon. But I also need to rethink the belts to hold the tail onto myself. Definitely need two, just need to think where to get them and stuff like that. =)

Zidane Tribal: Tail Fail!

Gah! Just as my dad predicted! The elastic bands I used have started to rot and snap! I have taken some photos of the bands so I can replace them, but it's been suggested that I use knicker elastic instead. Well, maybe not knicker elastic specifically, but stronger elastic than rubber bands. Good job I think I have some!

Warrior Of Light Dissidia 012

Just for a bit of fun really! =D

Filo: FFXII RW

She's cute, and I've always liked her. So why not? =)

Rinoa Heartily

Rinoa Heartily. Again, I won't be doing this one until I've played the game. I have a copy of FFVIII for the PC, but it won't run on my laptop. Also, like Aerith, she will likely be mixed in with my FFIX cosplays for a bit of variety.

Aerith Gainsbrough

I

won't be doing this one until I've played the game as I don't think characters should be cosplay'd until then. That might just be me that thinks that, but whatever.

No set date for this one. It might get mixed in with the FFIX cosplays I've already got set up. Just for a bit of a change. =)

Garnet (Coronation Dress)

I was at a wedding last night (Saturday May 14th 2011) and after I left, decided that I WOULD do this costume, at some point. Wish me luck =D

Dragoon Knight/Freya

Again, just an idea. As much as cosplaying Freya would be cool, unless people were willing to accept that actual RAT-PEOPLE don't exist it'd be hard to pull off =D.

White Mage/steampunk

I finished the cloak! In the end the outfit wasn't over all very steampunk. On the Friday of expo I decided jeans weren't the most comfy thing to wear. (I'm trying to lose weight so I refuse to buy new jeans so all the ones I have are a bit small right now). So for the Saturday and Sunday I found a skirt/dress combo that worked (Upon looking back, it didn't really, but oh well).

However, something has come of this event. The cloak WILL be reused, but I need to put some elastic in it to pull it in under the bust some more, it's too loose and flappy, I don't like it, and I may have to do something with the sleeves. I'll have to converse with the parental unit of mum concerning that. I'll have it as wearable for my Garnet cosplay in October.

Also, the combo I came up with, has been the basis of my own custom Final Fantasy character costume. But with a few changes. As I have this thing for having seperate costumes for summer and winter I've devised to switch the skirt for black denim shorts in summer, and black skinny jeans in winter. Both paired with my knee high flop top boots (which currently need new zips). But I think the best part of this outfit is that I'm also doing it as a sort of 'rememberance' for all the characters that died throughout the entire series that deserve remembering. Aerith, Zack, Auron (apparently, I've not played FFX), and I decided Kuja deserves to be in there. Okay so he was a prick, but Zidane turned him round in the end, it was just a bit too late really. So to do this I'll have ribbons of the respective colours for the characters hanging from un-used button holes. Feel free to suggest others, I'm sure I can find more button holes. =)

Anyway, have a photo of me in my cloak. Taken by the wonderful Rick Cole.
