Yeah I know. It was Vaan's party no doubt, but Balthier made a habit of stealing a bit of limelight for himself; especially right at the end on the Bahamut.

aahah, I didn't make the gun, it's just a toy from te $2 shop. But the vest took 3 months of labor XD

Wakaleo In reply to saltnsugarstars [2010-06-24 06:32:41 +0000 UTC]

It's made of leather, hand-carved, hand stitched, dyed and painted. I love working with leather, it's hard work, but the results are always amazing.

I love leather, though mostly for the texture and the smell. Don't know how to work with it though >_<

You fit the bill so well for a real-life Balthier. At least to me, it's uncanny. In one of the other pics I can even imagine you running like he does in the game! Wonderful job on this, really.

Wakaleo In reply to Shiroimiko [2010-04-15 02:08:55 +0000 UTC]

Working on Guts at the moment, and will have it done by June. Then I'll move on to Sun Jian.

Shiroimiko In reply to Wakaleo [2010-04-15 04:10:42 +0000 UTC]

I'm assuming you mean the more mature Guts. I would have a hard time imagining you as the younger version after seeing you as Balthier. Not that Balthier is old by any means, he's simply a gentleman. I'm excited to see the finished product either way. Though I'm afraid I don't know of Sun Jian. I'll need to perform a little research.

Wakaleo In reply to Shiroimiko [2010-04-15 05:40:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm doing the version of him in the Manga, just before he gets the Berserk armour.

Sun Jian is from Dynasty Warriors 6.

Actually, I'll be doing Wakka before Sun Jian.

Awesome cosplay!
Especially the details on the vest.
If I may ask how did you make them?

Wakaleo In reply to Laverna [2010-04-07 01:50:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.

The vest is made out of leather, hand carved, hand painted. Took 3 months alone for the vest. It's a skill that I am glad I learned, cause I have been using leathercraft a lot in costumes, and I have more planned this year.
