Description Ah... ACParadise you genius photographers, you. Few people can make a con hallway look awesome.

This is copied from my coscom pic

The outer coat was drafted and made in its entirety in... About 3 days. Go me -_-; It's based on the cover 4 image, of course, but with the colors from the Fai/Ashura picture. The lining itself (blue peachskin) was the "pattern" so to speak. I just kept cutting and sewing until it looked right and replicated it in the black suiting fabric. The details are blue cotton sateen cut out and dyed with Dylon fabric dye (in 3 shades of blue). I mixed the dye with warm water in a bucket, then used cotton balls and a small spray bottle to apply the gradient. It's more apparent in the pictures ACParadise took (two pictures back). The shoulders were cut into the pattern and shaped with fusible super-thick pellon interfacing. All the fur was from DistinctiveFabrics ^___^

The staff is a curtain rod, three sheets of wood (glued together, cut out with a jigsaw, shaped with a router, sanded with a dremel and normal sandpaper), mirrored blue acrylic sheeting (cut out with a dremel -not a good idea- and hot glued together), fishing line and resin cast gems.

The eyepatch was me going crazy with my embroidery software and random beads leftover from SohRyu's crown XD

Wow! I am going to start my Fai cosplay soon (the 3 layers from the manga) and I am dreading the design on the back. I should use patterns for cosplays but I normal just go with it and it somehow works! What would you recomend doing for the design on the back?

Thanks ^-^

Lol, I was so tired because it was my first year that year and I had a MASSIVE headache, I think my whole group had a lasting impression on this costume, because all of us were like OMG THIS IS SUPER AMAZING AND IT IS THE BEST EVAR. This year I went at Captian Knuckles, and it was a FAIL.
