Some Cosplay Fun!

[Vilhem]

This is how almost everyone starts, especially these days where so much stuff comes from China.
You should have seen me the first time with a sewing machine. I only got better with practice of course, and I'm sure you will as well.

Well the only parts that were already made were the wig, shin guards, sandals and white shirt. The rest I measured and cut and threw together with the all-mighty fabric glue >_>

All in all though it was a very fun learning experience. I learned a lot about how certain fabrics behave and how to spot the right kind to mimic the actual clothing Than wears.

That costume is awesome Vil! You made an excellent Thancred - and yes, you passed perfectly - I really thought you were a guy in those photos!

Did you get anyone who recognized you/had even played/heard of FFXIV?

Haha nope, but I kinda expected that. Goes with the whole "supporting 1.0 crap game" territory thing XD. Friend said I did get a few glances and all that, but if they did recognize me, they didn't run up to me and like..glomp me or something.

I have been walking around with my Final Fantasy XI Fanfest 2008 bag just to show I'm from FF series, though.

Thanks for the comments I still feel its unfinished, but that's just the artist in me fussing over small details T.T
