Its on the way! Black Vanya Robe set is a go for cosplay!

Okay ladies and gentlebots, I have finally finish the order and they accepted my request. The vanya set shall be a real piece of armor and be ready for August!
...
I hope...

But regardless I am having the entire thing made for only $125. Which includes the Hat, the gloves, and of course the robe. With all the little accessories that are attached on it. And the one golden bit should be painted on the robe... not sure if that was made completely clear.

Maybe it'll be ready for Otakon, but if its not... I'll just have something to wear while playing ARR when it first comes out. :3

Also also, I am getting a FFXIV : ARR Tattoo!
And thinking as I still want to have a professional career sometime down my life, I am going to get a upper arm tattoo.
I am thinking of doing Dalamud using this image...

With underneath the moon having the word Dalamud in Eorzian Font. Or something cooler... Not sure, gotta really decide nowish since its sorta permanent.

And just for giggles and snorts, also considering having the White Raven made and having my ear pierced just for the occasion.
However I fear I don't know anyplace that does custom earring orders. ; ;

I think the tattoo would be better without "Dalamud" And just have the moon. But it's your tattoo. :)

Yeah, I'll ask the artist when I go to see her next week.
Plus we shall see if that skyrockets the price any bit.

I wussed out and went for the basic Dalumud picture instead, you'd recognize that picture as the little flaming O in a Reborn in the whole Realm Reborn title art they flash around a bit.

And as a little update, I wonder if anybody knows of a great place to do custom shoe orders? Cause the cosplay place that is doing my Vanya set is not able to fill my shoe request. And it'll be a shame if I couldn't have them shoes as well... But I guess my second problem is that there is not enough reference material of the shoes alone. xD Guess I'd need something concept art style. xD

I'm sure someone could provide the shoes from the ß. I would help you, but I don't have a set...

I know I spied the head of the Conj Guild wearing Vanya's set... so I'm all kinds of upset I missed it. But sadly the entire robe is covering up the shoes. xD So I need somebody to strip down and get myself some close up of those shoes. xD

I want to see this tattoo. It sounds like a cool idea.

The Tattoo is changed into the O in reborn in the above link. (Linked it cause the picture is huge. xD )
I decided against that one on top cause... I'm afraid people would keep confusing it for a Death Star. xD
