As some of you know, I made a Berserker Rikku FFX-2 costume for Anime Central. Well, almost - I couldn't wear my headband because it wasn't sturdy enough to support the horn, so the horn was drooping and looking ridiculous - but at least the rest of it looked pretty good. I just wanted to share some pictures from our small collection.

- Me and a FFX-2 Trainer (probably Yuna - I'm not sure though)
- Me and a freakin' AWESOME Berserker Yuna (my collar was twisted, which is why my fur is lopsided...leave it to me to dork up a costume without even trying)
- Me and a friend from cosplay.com, who I'd just met at the con - we'd been sharing lots of Berserker tips on the boards as we made our costumes

The following have nothing to do with me, but I got a real kick out of them.


- River City Ransom group
- Pyramid Head! (sorry, you have to turn sideways)
- Like Metal Gear Solid? You have to see this.

The important thing is that you tried.

In all honesty, great pics. Now all you need to do next time is start your planning even earlier so that it doesn't sap away all your free time. Problem solved.

Thanks. I actually started planning it in late November, but I'd thought I was going to wear it to Otakon, which is over two months later. Also, I'd wasted around three weeks' time trying (and failing) at other methods of making armor, and I piddled even more time away attempting to dye fake fur with acrylic paint. (It's possible - it just doesn't work well for me. After each attempt, I had to wait for the fur to dry, which took a couple of days - you can't just throw it in the dryer. I wound up using Sharpies.) All in all, I put at least 100 hours of work into this thing, and that's a low estimate. I'm going to fix the headband and redo my feet for next year - GAAAAAWD, those things HURT! High heels = TEH SATAN!

My next project is Zhang He from Dynasty Warriors 4 for next ACEN, but I have nearly a year to do it and I'm starting the weapons now (they're my first fiberglassing project weeeee), so this should be a much less hectic process.

(offers Rydain some Making Fuck (tm))

Day-um... the most you'd ever get me to do, cosplay-wise, is Lupin or Jigen. I had the sideburns for it, too...

*sprays Diet Vanilla Coke on her monitor* I actually did get a couple of comments of that nature, including a (joking) marriage proposal from a Mai Shiranui with huge...tracts of land. I thought it was amusing, and Rando was right there in case anybody decided to get obnoxious. Nobody did, though, probably because they figured it wouldn't be wise to mess with someone who's 6'4" and built like a major appliance...

Lupin = w00t. I saw the movie at Otakon 2001 and really enjoyed it, but I haven't gotten to watch any more of it since then. We did see a Lupin at ACEN, but we didn't manage to get a picture. D'oh!

You are hot.

I mean, you are HOT. I'll stop there. I don't want Rando kicking me in the nads >_>

I managed to see a Greeen Jacket Lupin when I went to ICON. I didn't even recognize him at first

Pity you didn't get the helmet to form correctly, but still, it looks utterly amazing.

And the fact you got prettier since the last time i saw you helps.

*is flattered* Thanks, peoples. Don't worry...Rando won't kick anybody...though he looks imposing, he's about as argumentative as a marshmallow.

You got people making more Clerks references? Shveeeet.

And that River City Ransom group woulda made me spray something on the monitor, if I was drinking anything.

THEY ACTUALLY MADE A "BARF!" SIGN.

\m/

As for someone messing with you: maybe they figured if he wasn't going to do anything, you'd kick their asses?

yeah, I noticed that too. she looks younger.

as for the costume, I'd say it's better than that rydain outfit you had. *thumbs up* and I"d have to agree with cymoro on that point he made.

You know you need to make a Lady Luck costume.. right? . Looks neat (even though I can't say I like cosplay that much, especially not those who don't look neat).

Nice pictures, Ry! You look great as usual.

I might be making my first cosplay outfit soon. I'm thinking about going to Otakon this year. If anything, I'll go simple, and go as Julia from Tekken 4. It's not until December here, so...

...And that MGS picture cracks me up.

w00t, Clerks!

I'm afraid I don't know too much about cosplaying to be able to state whether or not it's good, but, hey, to me (the untrained eye), them looks pretty neat them costumes does.
