Ame no Jidai
December 1, 2009We’ve been planning to do this group cosplay for the past few months, and we finally did it! Say hello to our Castlevania cosplay group:
 |
From L to R: Kagenoir as Aeon from Castlevania: Judgement, Zhyxres as Soma Cruz from Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Celestine as Camilla from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, N as… (I forgot your character~ are you Elizabeth Bartley?), Madz as Shanoa from Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, and Imahica as Stella Lecarde from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin.
Most of my ‘art’ time for the past three weeks was spent on constructing this costume. By ‘art’ time, I mean 3 to 4 hours on weekends and around an hour or two on weekdays, plus the all nighter the night before the convention itself.
Anyway, I had the dress made by some dressmaker - I have a lot of issues with this person. He made a lot of serious mistakes on my dress! Moving on, I made my armor myself (chest plate, hip armor, shin guard and knee pads) out of rubber sheets, plus the sword. I also had to customize the dress, I attached the fur on my gloves and was supposed to sew on lace on the neckpiece and gloves but ran out of time. I was also supposed to do some more detailing on my armor (repaint the chestplate details, work on the detailing of the rest of the armor) and work on the gold details of the sword. Ah, the essence of cramming.
I will not cram a costume ever again! (more details after the jump!)
