Cosplay 30 Days: Day 6

[rose_of_pain]

Oh man this one's a hard one. XD

6. Your favourite cosplay (that you have done)

I think I've done too many to really be able to pick JUST ONE. XD So here are just some of my favorites.

Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII


He's my favorite character of all time so of course he's become one of my favorites to cosplay. Sadly I still don't think I really pull him off that well though. I'm still very unsatisfied with it and I don't know when I'm really going to get a chance to try to fix things up better on this. I plan to wear him at Ota and was hoping to make a few edits but I don't know if I'll have the time to. Mainly I'd like to possibly redo the boot covers at some point, change the silver piece in the back of straps, and get the shoulder armor to stop pulling so much on the shirt. Maybe even get a different shirt (or make it if I can find the right ribbing finally). But I'm happy with the Buster and the armor at least. And Sarah has fixed the wig for me. I'd also like to some day redo all my other versions of him. Probably Crisis Core first after I get original up to par. And maybe finally attempt KH1. But not redoing AC for a LONG time. As much as I still love the design...I'm so sick of seeing AC Clouds at cons.

Lucifer - Angel Sanctuary


This was probably my first "dream cosplay" and I've made it twice now. The new version is a lot more accurate and better made...but I seem to be lacking the intimidating expressions and poses I managed to pull off when I first made it. So I plan to practice a bit in front of the mirror before I wear this next time and try to get better photos. Especially as I have like not a single good photo of the full costume from the front. ^^;; But for example...I actually hate how I look in this icon I'm using right now but I don't really have any that worked well for an icon and my older one I have, I think I look a lot better but the costume is crap. Go figure. x_x; I also plan to fix the wings up some. Aiming for AUSA as the next con I wear it to. But even with its high maintenance and the fact it takes forever to get in and out of and that its incredibly uncomfortable...I love this costume. XD It makes me feel a lot more powerful and badass. And its one of my top 5 characters of all time.

Frederick Francois Chopin - Eternal Sonata


And this is the costume I'm the most proud of. Oddly enough this is one of the very few cases where I love the costume design a lot more than the character. I mean I don't dislike him but he's not in my top 20 characters. lol He just disappointed me in the story especially since I am a fan of the actual composer and all. However. I freaking loved the design so much that I decided I still had to cosplay him. XD And damn do I feel so amazingly awesome when I wear this. Its hard to describe but of all the cosplays I've ever made, I feel the best in this one. I feel swanky. XD And so I never really bother trying to be in-character so much for this one. Instead I tend to just be myself as I'd want to pose in this. Because I really have a hard time understanding Sonata's Chopin character, to be honest. But man I just love wearing it and the coolness it gives me. One of the few times I actually like how I look in the costume as well.

And there are others that you are probably wondering why they aren't listed here but that's 'cause they're better off for a few other entries on this list (and granted one of these is going to be a different day too but I couldn't help but list it here too XD).
