Description
I'm actually uploading some of my cosplay into this gallery for once. Saeru was saying I wasn't really represented here. XD
Awesome photo c/o Amanda (Elemental) at Ohayocon 2008 - when I finally got around to finishing that annoying keyblade.

I... don't like this one so much. There is something about the wig being so washed out that it disappears and the brightness of the wall on the left.

What did ya' make your Way to Dawn out of??
I'm doing Riku this year and it's my first time with this kind of stuff. You did a REALLY good job!!

I am in love with your cosplay ;w; The costume is perfect and the keyblade is the perfect size~ I absolutely love how it has like a million colors and the eyeball is so cool~ The shape is expertly done! You guys are awesome! >o
Don't suppose you commission keyblades...?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Wow, simply amazing. I am really digging the keyblade a ton. I have a few questions for you.
1. What material did you use for the keyblade?
2. Do you happen to have a template for the keyblade and if so could I have it?
3. Whats the stitching like on the back of the pants? Like are there pockets and stuff?

I was wondering, did you go to Animarathon in Ohio?

Nope, I haven't been there yet. The only Ohio con we've done so far is Ohayocon.

I personally don't take commissions on garments (at least for people who I don't have constant access to for fittings) but Saeru may be up for it once the current costume waiting list in finalized for this season.
If you're talking about the keyblade, though, I am starting to take commissions for props, accessories and small armor pieces. So between the two of us, I suppose the answer is "yes" ^_- Just send us a note if you're interested.

The gradient painting on your Way to Dawn is AMAZING! Is it all completely carved, too? It looks that way. ^_^

I think I'm just gonna give up on this quest of mine to figure out what gender you guys are. |D
Man, that keyblade! o.o That outfit! Very very good! I especialy like how the wing came out on the keyblade!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hooray, our genders remain obscure. XD
I really am also pleased about the feather-y wings, too.

Are you guys like hiding something from us? D: I really wanna know! ;_;
You should be! n_n It was very well done!
(And if it has to do with your guys' sexuality, I don't mind that sort of thing at all... just saying. o.o )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, we're not hiding anything. ^_^ I thought we were very upfront about being sexless. I hope it doesn't bother ya that much. ^_^;

It doesn't really bug me all that much. xP I just wanna get to know you guys more and i guess your genders are one factor I'll just have to let go. xD I'll stop bugging you guys about it now. xP;;

you know something... i was browsing populars and I saw the thumbnail of this picture.... the thing is that from far away, it looks like a... well, don't think I'm trying to offend... an butt, the ass being the head, the top of the cheeks (like if it belonged to someone bent over) the down facing concave shapes defined by the light on the walls at the top... this is so freaky I'm faving it

We have all been totally and completely amused by this comment. See, here I was thinking it looked like a heart, but I guess people can see different things... XD

Luckily, the gloss varnish protects it from just such an occurance! XD

Good job

Okay, random thing, but holy CRAP that's a zipper with some huge teeth. o_o It's funny that it looks accurate like that.
Amazing shot. I wish I had seen you at Ohayocon. I so would've said hi >_<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for noticing. >^_^< That is exactly what we hope people will say about our zippers - which were custom-designed specifically *for* Kingdom Hearts costumes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well they definitely set your costumes in a level all their own. I doubt many people, if at all keep it that accurate

O.O
wow, that is awesome.....
did u make the clothes, or did you buy them somewhere?
and how did u make and/or where did u buy them (same w/ the keyblade, just HOW did you make it????)

I made this costume totally from scratch, including even the pants and the belt. Including even designing a zipper large enough to be accurately sized. O_o It was seriously the hardest cosplay I have ever made to date, because it is so simple and exact (and also because I'm used to making armor, and this is the total opposite.)
Here are some more shots of it: [link]
Um...on the keyblade - it's based off how I made my DragonBuster and my Soul Edge, but...it's also totally different. ^_^; It started with simply researching the shape of it and making the full-sized template. Actually, it's very similar in material to my Nightmare costume, except it didn't need any heat-forming (because it's basically flat, so I could do sandwiched layers) just a lot of dremeling along the edges to make everything all nice and rounded and organic.
And then...it's just a lot of painting. ^_-

anyhow, thx for the tips!

That keyblade is fucking awesome. Oh man that thing is awesome o.o

And it's totally indestructible when being flung off the top of a moving vehicle in downtown traffic on an icy road. That's the best part, I think.

Are you serious?
.... was that by accident or on purpose?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, it was most definitely on accident, driven by normal con sleep-deprivation. ^_^;
But it's a good thing to know for the future.

Wow, that's amazing! The workmanship and detail on the Way To Dawn is brilliant, did you make that yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, duh. Never mind. ^_^; What I get for not reading the description closely enough.
I'm very impressed, though.
