Ryudo - Grandia II
Worn at:
Otakuthon 2017 - Montreal
Inspiration:
Grandia II is one of my favourite video games EVER. Like, so much that one time I played for three days straight - 10, 12 and 9 hours, something like that. I LOVE the characters, I LOVE the battle system, I LOVE the plot and twists, I LOVE the music. Dang. I think it's been one my dream costumes since I began cosplaying but I never found the perfect time to do it. And I also didn't want to do it alone, because a group would be so badass (and it's kind of an obscure classic). Then appeared the World Cosplay Summit preliminaries in Canada, and after the third year I decided I wanted to participate. It was the PERFECT time for this. I urged my partner Mathi to play the game, she did and she agreed to do it with me. AT LONG LAST. And little did we know, we even ended up winning the qualifications and would be the 2018 Canada representatives at the WCS in Japan! YAY!
Description:
Wig : Magnum Long in Dark Brown (CL-076) from Arda Wigs with one pack of wefts. This was classic teasing and spiking! The challenge with spikes is always to make the wig look good at every angle and not from the front point of view only.
Headpiece : The orange jems were cast in resin in a handmade mold. The rest was made with Worbla and fabric. It clips onto the wig for stability.
Belts and straps : Every brown and black belt you see is
"Skirt" :
Bird :
Muscle suit :
Butterfly :
Sword :
