Lightning - Final Fantasy XIII
Worn at:
Otakuthon 2007 - Montreal
AC-Cubed 2007 - Ottawa
ComicCon 2009 - Montreal
Awards won:
Hall Cosplay Award - Otakuthon 2007
Best Attention to details (journeyman category) - AC-Cubed 2007
Inspiration:
I made this to go with two of my friends (Tormantor and YunaDaKilla) dressed as Noctis from Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and Ace from Final Fantasy Type-0 (actually we didn't know their names at the time, because we only got a few info and screenshots from the games). I actually hesitated to agree making this costume, because I wasn't confident enough in my skills. But hey, I made it!
Funny story: At Otakuthon, a girl came up to me and said, "You have an awesome Ashe cosplay!!" She was confused when I said it was Lightning, from the FFXIII game not yet released. When the game came out in 2010, I was happy I did this cosplay a few years back, because there were Lightnings EVERYWHERE, and I'm sure I wouldn't have wanted to make the costume anymore!
Description:
This was a very challenging costume to make with all the details. I worked with pleather for the first time, and this is a very interesting material. You have to know what you're doing with it, or else it won't look good. The shoulder pad is made of craft foam and the yellow details on it are made with 3D fabric paint.
There's not much to say about the rest, except that this is an uncomfortable costume. Tight miniskirt = Really hard to sit!
This is definitely a cosplay I'd like to upgrade. In anticipation of that, I bought a wig, but never got to style it.
