Description
Picture was taken by [link]Being a little camera shy personally, the photographer actually helped me out quite a bit by posing me. Really did appreciate that because my mind can kind of go blank.
A lot of the costume contruction was done by ~cosplaymandy [link]
Very friendly, and she is able to craft some amazing cosplays.
Anime Los Angeles 2010

I think that eyebrows have to be more elegant, but this is so good cosplay
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heh, thanks.
The reason i didn't narrow my eyebrows is because it actually adds a bit of age to a person when they do it. Plus i didn't want to walk around with narrow high arch eyebrows outside of cosplay.

You looked amazing at ALA! ^^ I can't wait to see you again at another con!

You were a fantastic Kuja, and the first male cosplayer cosplaying Kuja XD
I was the Aeris running around at ALA, if you even remember me

Hehe, thanks.
Oh, actually i think i remember you. Weren't you the Aeris that did the pose with Sephiroth while Cloud and Zack looked annoyed? LOL.

Yep that was me :] that was a lot of fun haha...
I hope your ALA was a blast. Will you be at Fanime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup, i'll be going to my first fanime this year. Pretty excited about it. I've heard its a great con, and its a 24hr con.
I've heard some nasty rumors about AX recently but with the cosplay gatherings still being planned on the coscom forums, i guess i'm not too worried. I didn't really go to many panels in 09 anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh awesome. Yeah, Fanime is a lot of fun, I've gone for the last three years and it's brilliant.
AX hasn't been too fun for me anymore, but I still go for the gatherings and to see my friends. So I'll be there this year too, I guess xD

oh hey! I saw you on the cosplay.com forums for ALA! It's great to see some pictures of your cosplay. You look fantastic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, thanks. I remember your name from the Forums too. I think you were planning on a Lightning cosplay if i remember right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I wish I could have gone to ALA. It would have been a blast.
Yeah! I'm making lots of progress. I just finished my wig today.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe, nice. Lightning looks like a really hard cosplay. The outfit has so many accessories everywhere.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
tell me about it. XD I didn't know what I was getting into when I chose it.
How hard was Kuja? There's a lot of detail there too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hard enough for me to commission it. Most of the outfit was actually commissioned because i don't want to hand sew something like that. But I made the armor pieces on the leggings, which took around 5 days worth of hand sewing, and the shoes, which are mostly wonderflex and craft foam. The wig took a little while because i had to cut so many different layers into it, then dye it, then dye and glue in some feathers.

Well, it looks fantastic. ^^ It's nice to see some good male FF cosplayers!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
For the most part i just ended up having to add like 7 dart seams into the vest, and 2 dart seams into the back of the jacket to make the outfit fit better, and move a whole lot of buttons around.
LOL, with a costume like this, i can't afford having anything snap off... leaving it to a pro. I've only cosplayed since july of 09.

AWESOME!
you don't need to be shy because you are really frakin cool!
Love the nails,too *haha*

Thanks, and for some odd reason I'm proud of the nails too, LOL.

HELLS YES A FELLOW KUJA COSPLAYER! HIGH FIVE!
You look stunning sir~
also, LOL at pointing out that Kuja is a man. People have the hardest time accepting that XD <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, hi.
OMG, you were actually my Kuja cosplay Idol while looking through Coscom Pages a few months back, lol!
::HIGH FIVE BACK:: ^_^
And thanks. I'm still in search of a giant Concrete ball to conquer. Hopefully i'll find one at Fanime, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
D'awww! Thanks!
Are you considering ever attempting Trance Kuja as well? WE CAN BE FURRY MEN TOGETHER! 8D
Hahahahaha! Yeah that concrete ball was like...the find of the AGES XD <3 so many crackshots~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL, Trance Kuja, hmm... i dunno if i'm brave enough for that outfit, doesn't trance have even less clothing?
Maybe after a few more cons when i've lost all sense of shame and modesty, lol. Though an outfit make entirely of feathers sounds comfy... like wearing a giant pillow...
Still, if New Moons the worst thing to happen to Werewolves since Furries, I'm guessing Trance Kuja is what makes furries look good, lol.

PFFFT, It may~ I don't even know yet~ I'm working on having him done for Otakon this summer, and then doing the Dissidia verison sometime next year. Because I can't resist all those graidents *o* <3
IT WOULD BE SO COMFORTABLE *O* I hope, anyway XD <3
HAHAAHHAHAH. This is so much truth~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Otakon, heh, thats the opposite side of the US. I have a friend who's planning on going. Going to have to ask him to take a picture if he see's you. I want to go to that con one of these years because i've only heard good things about it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Holy shit, you look so good. And this picture is so pretty--the colors, the clarity.
Your full-costume shot is gorgeous, too. You totally pull him off better than I've ever seen before.
It's funny, I kept telling , "If you're gonna do Kuja, you gotta get a manly middle going on!" And then she told me you were busting your ass in the gym for it.
You look really good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For the color and clarity i think i got lucky and ran into a pretty experienced photographer/cosplayer so i can't take credit for that.
And thanks for the compliment. LOL, this cosplay had me so paranoid that i did sort of kill myself in the gym, especially the 2 weeks before con.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dude, any man that is comfortable enough with himself to do whatever cosplay he damn well wants is a man to respect. >D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, I sure won't be doing any bunny girl Haruhi's or Yoko Littners, thats pushing it a little too far for me, lol.
Plus i don't want to ruin anyones fantasies, lol. What has been seen, cannot be unseen, lol.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is very, very true. xD

You look gorgeous as Kuja! I envy your nails though. They are very nice. @.@
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, thanks. I'm really not looking forward to regrowing my nails for Fanime though, lol. They so get in the way.
Also really like the way you draw eyes in your art collection ^_^.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! I understand about the nails. When they get long, they do get annoying. You can't do much with them. I was thinking of going to Fanime, but my friends suggested that I go to Anime Expo instead, since I won't have a place to stay by the time of Fanime.
Thank you! I'm glad you like the eyes. It's one of things I enjoy doing when I draw. :]
