Description Updated 9/2/10, 5/30/11

C'mon, make the party last!
Forever, and ever
Have the best time you've ever had
Let go, break free

Everyone has a reason, a reason to celebrate
Cause you get the chance and you take it
Make it the best you can make it
Whatcha waiting for today?!

It's the time of your life
You don't want to miss out on right here and now
There's so many reasons why
You don't wanna stop, it's your chance, live it up
In everything you do
Celebrate you!


-------------------------
right to left, top to bottom...

Ven from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep (2010)
First costume I have made before release date. ~rosaeldi made the armor.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts (2008)
made while working for D*sney World, and worn multiple times into the parks. Just for sheer fun. The wig was added 2010 after I finally found a way to keep from having an allergic reaction.

Christmas Town Sora from Kingdom hearts 2 FM (2007)
made for Anime Expo 2007. Very few people recognized it at the time.

Atlantica Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2 (2009)
made for the Swimsuit Contest at Anime Oasis 2009. Won an award!

Kid Sora from Kingdom Hearts (2009)
made as a joke to freak out a friend, and because I had old clothes that would work for it.

Roxas from Kingdom Hearts 2 (2008)
My friend bought the Roxas costume to match my Sora costume while we worked for D*sney World. Afterwards, he gave me the costume. The wig was added 2010, thanks to ~kosuke081


Axel from Kingdom Hearts 2 (2010)
First large, PLANNED group cosplay by most of Bad Wolf Productions. The jackets were purchased, and I made the widow's peak in the wig using ~rosaeldi 's hair and *Ninja-Chi 's tutorial.

Neku from World Ends With You (2008)
Made for fun, and ~deliriumdreamer3 's Shiki was made to match. The wig was added later, originally purchased for Kaoru.

Kaoru from Ouran High Host Club (2009)
The most infuriating costume to date. 3 jackets for me, ~kosuke081 and G, 14 hours each. But it was amazing in the end.

Sosuke from Ponyo (2009)
Made the night after seeing the movie in theaters. ~kosuke081 has the Ponyo part of the set.

Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon (2010)
An exercise in how fast we can make a costume. 5.5 hours, apparently. Made after my friends cast me as Hiccup without me seeing the movie. I have now seen it and loved it.

Red Link from Zelda: Four Swords (2010)
MASS PRODUCTIONS. Made Green, Red, Black, Purple, and TWO Blues. Also the cosplay that has caused the most drama thus far, bar none.


Reno from Final Fantasy 7/Advent Children (2011)
Worn for our "Suit Up" skit performed at Anime Oasis 2011 . The wig was done by me, but belongs to ~kosuke081 .

Cloud from Final Fantasy Crisis Core (2011)
This is my favorite version of Cloud in any of the games, and I had to cosplay him at some point. The fiberglass armor was done by ~rosaeldi .

Squall from Final Fantasy 8 (2010)
Made purely to make ~deliriumdreamer3 and ~llamataco happy.

Zidane <3 from Final Fantasy 9 (2010)
Made purely to make me happy. But was used by Bad Wolf Productions as well.

Tidus from Final Fantasy 10 (2010)
~deliriumdreamer3 had been heavily hinting at wanting a Tidus and Yuna costume set for a while. When Bad Wolf Productions began to plan a skit, they were finally made, making her ecstatic. Armor by ~rosaeldi . And no, I don't know why the picture's flipped.

Hope from Final Fantasy 13 (2010)
Another one where my friends cast me as a character without me knowing the game (cause I don't own the right systems). Have since played it... and hated the character for the first few hours. lawl.


Ren (singer outfit) from Vocaloid (2011)
Made with ~rosaeldi as a set. The headphones are fiberglass by her, and there is El wire lighting up the arms and LEDs in the headphones.

Abel from Starfighter (2011)
First time cosplaying a webcomic character...

Black Blood Soul from Soul Eater (2011)
'Made' for and worn to formal dances. The suit is European and not made by me.

Soul from Soul Eater (2011)
I hate that jacket - it took forever and was more complicated than I anticipated.

Cutter from ElfQuest (2011)
I fell in love with ElfQuest over ten years ago, and swore again and again to cosplay the main character Cutter. It was finally accomplished.

Space Paranoids/Tron Sora from Kingdom Hearts 2 (2009-2011)
This costume took TWO YEARS to make. And is STILL not finished. Reflective tape and El wire, awesome!


NOT PICTURED (yet.)

Cloud from Final Fantasy Advent Children (2010)
My friend gave me his really cheap, crappy cloud costume in 2008. It sat in my closet, and in 2010 was taken apart, reassembled, and overhauled so Bad Wolf Productions could use it.

Zack from Final Fantasy Crisis Core (2010)
Started for Bad Wolf Productions, but not used in the skit.

Youji from Loveless (2011)
I love the series Loveless, and Youji is one of my favorite characters.

Sora from Kingdom Hearts 1 (2011)

Len from Vocaloid: Synchroncity (2010)

Josh from the World Ends With You (2010)

Akito from Air Gear (2008)

How come you call Len 'Ren' then 'Len'? It's confusing me.

In Japanese, R and L are the same sound. They're rolled together. So when it's translated into English letters, it can be either R or L (You'll see it pretty often in the fandoms - Syaoran vs. Syaolan, Lavi vs Ravi, etc.) When I was learning Japanese, it was common to make the more masculine names have R instead of L. So I automatically translated their names to Ren and Lin.

It seems most fans call them Len and Rin tho. So I try to call them by their common name, but I still slip up. Technically, BOTH are right. Ren/Len or Rin/Lin.

Sorry, it's just I'm used with people always calling them by one or the other. I've known that for about... Er, a fortnight.

I switch frequently *shrug* It's just a sad effect of actually KNOWING Japanese, and having to deal with a large fanbase that doesn't.

I am unfortunately part of the latter. I do know some words, like kokoro, kiseki, oyasumi, aku, no, musume... Now you know my favourite songs.

I know someone who's teaching himself Japanese. I wrote a load of immature words in kanji.

I have a question what material did you use for your ORG. 13 coat?
I wanted to cosplay xion but i wasn't sure of a good matiral. Thanks -silverfeather11

Colt-kun In reply to silverfeather11 [2011-06-07 00:56:07 +0000 UTC]

Actually, my coat is purchased. But it's made from a high quality pleather AKA PVC (polyvinyl) that you can buy at a fabric/crafts store. Skip the cheap stuff, it wears and tears and wrinkles way too easily.

I love this!! I was hoping you'd do something like this. Now I want to see one with all the costumes you've made for others . . . Although I know that that is alot harder to do.

You are awesome!!

That is an AWESOME collection of all your cosplay. When you put it all together like that...

Mm... we still need that Bad Wolf Collection; more than just the "Bad Wolf Wins" thing I put in there, because Rallion's not in the picture. Hmm

LOL!

That would have to be up to Colt as to how Colt wants to put everyone in there. I know we had cosplay for our pictures; but at the time, we were missing a few people to put in.

Colt-kun In reply to Lazuli24 [2010-06-10 00:37:57 +0000 UTC]

what's sad is that's not even all... I've got a few more elsewhere I just didn't bother to add in because I don't wear them much or don't have any pictures.
