Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart 03

From the book “Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Ω" by Studio BentStuff, we get a glimpse of one of Tifa alternate costumes. The developers of Final Fantasy VII chose to keep her mini-skirt as a staple of her design, much to the delight of fan boys everywhere.

I don’t know much about the game itself, but I do know Aira makes a fabulous Tifa. Thanks to Lilica for sending this!

Final Fantasy XIII: Éclair Farron aka Lightning 02

A former Guardian Corps soldier, Lightning wields a gunblade called the Blazefire Saber, which is also known as the Blaze Edge in Japanese. It is a combination of a gun and a sword, one collapsing into the other. Lightning is known to be very agile, and uses acrobatic moves in battle.

Beautiful cosplay by Rainer Tachibana! I think she really captures the character in this photo very well. Thanks to Katrina for suggesting this!

Shiva Nix Cosplay

Shiva merupakan salah satu karakter Monster Summon yang ada di seri Final Fintasy. Biasanya muncul sebagai sosok berwarna biru. Di dalam Final Fantasy XIII, Shiva muncul sebagai sepasang saudara kembar, Styria dan Nix. Kostum untuk Shiva yang satu ini cukup rumit, terutama untuk bagian kepalanya. Namun saya rasa cukup worthed kalau hiasan kepalanya dapat dibuat ^^. Buat yang mau membuat bagian kepalanya dan juga roda yang menjadi senjatanya, silahkan dilihat tutorialnya.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Gainsborough

When Aerith Gainsborough was 15-years-old, she helped her adopted mother earn a living by growing and selling flowers. She first met Zack Fair during his stay in Midgar and the two began to develop a romantic relationship. Unfortunately, Zack was killed after being held in a Mako chamber for four years in the Shinra Mansion basement.

Cosplayer Kanna Tears makes an excellent Aerith! Beautiful photography as well by Keith Louie. Thanks to Pyrahus for sharing this with us!

Rikku's Top

Meh. Some of you may have seen my post about redoing Rikku's top. Well it's true. I've worked on it and fixed things but there's still mistakes and it's inaccurate. ;~; I really want to do well on this costume so I want it to be accurate. I will do as well as I can and with what I can afford.

Aside from that I've been good. My Christmas was great, my new years was alright.. lol...and I've been spending lots of time with Robby.

I'm excited for AOD next month~ I haven't worked on my costume for it yet though and I need a wig, so I'll have to buy it soon X_X

Uuuuuuuuuummmmmmmm........Ya I don't know. I guess I'm not in a blogging mood. I just felt bad that I've neglected this thing. I've been playing a lot of PS3 games and my new DS game, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. Hehe....yah..I'm a cosplayer but I'm also a gamer?

k well. Good night for now. I think I might work on the new top tonight.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII: Noctis Lucis Caelum 03

Noctis can wield different weapons ranging from swords, spears, lances, to guns. He controls them using telekinesis though the power of the Crystal for both attack and defense. Noctis also has the ability to teleport and move at high speed.

Beautiful cosplay by Jesuke! According to her deviant art description, this mimics a screenshot from one of the Final Fantasy Versus XIII trailers. Thanks to Mia for sending this!

It only looks complicated as a whole..

But if you take it on piece by piece, it's not so hard. ----
This is how I take in challenging costumes on my own. I may not be as experienced as I want, but the only way to get experienced is to experience right?

I'm really excited about my Rikku costume. The trainer dressphere is not cosplayed enough. Then again I always love cosplaying costumes that aren't as cosplayed much. Hehe. Anyway, I'm taking the costume slowly and I admit I get lazy. BUT I do have almost all the fabric I'll need for it. Almost. I need to buy some RIT dye though for some of it. Rikku has this thing about her costumes where she has a lot of pieces that fade from yellow to orange.... ah well.

If you're wondering about my Sheik costume... I've kind of put her on hold. I haven't found any fabric that will work with the dark blue I got at Wal-mart so I might need to buy some at JoAnn's and just start over! Fun stuff, but it's worth it. I want Sheik to come out as well as I can make it on the first or second try...lol.

P.S.

Sorry for my lack of posting. I've been caught up with other things since Robby has been here. I don't spend a lot of online time as I use to.

JoAnn~ You've made me so happy!

So. JoAnn's is having a sale this week because of Veteran's day! I mean, some of the items that aren't on sale should be but whatever...I'll be happy with what I can get! Today it was gloomy and raining so I went with Kailey to JoAnn's. We bought some fabric. I didn't buy all I need because I NEED A LOT but I bought some stuff to work on which made me happy.

I bought some fabric for my Rikku and Bridget costume. Yay~ I know, my costumes keep changing. I think the costumes I REALLY want to work on for the first half of next year are going to be (in all honesty):


Rikku~ Trainer Dressphere (FFX2)


Sheik: Zelda OOT



Bridget: Guilty Gear


Miki: Vocaloid
