Cosplay

For those of you who may not know, a cosplay is something fans do, generally at a con, which involves dressing up as an anime or video game character. I myself have done a few cosplays in my day, and finally, this summer at Otakon, I've managed to put together a Zack costume.

As of now, my costume status is unfinished. I hope to have it finished for next Otakon. I have wearing a black knit tank top that used to be a sweater, but had the ribbed pattern that Zack's shirt has, a pair of baggy black jeans, a pair of biker gloves (my good ones randomly vanished x_x), black suspenders, and calf-high black boots. The rest was made by hand from cardboard, styofoam, tinfoil, silver paint, vinyl, and a whole lot of duct tape.

By next year, I want to have a wig and proper armor. I'd like to go for the proper color costume (Zack's is blue), but that's lower on my priorities. I'd also love to make the buster sword, but that'll be quite the chore. ^_^

Here are some pictures of the costume as it appeared at Otakon 2003.

With my Cloud plushie tucked in my belt.
With my friend Boing, dressed up as Schuldig from Weiss Kreuz.
With my friend Lyn, dressed up as punk Cloud. XD

(Note: In the last picture, my sign says "Searching for a Cloud to violate (I left mine in the hotel)". Ahem.)

Have you cosplayed Zack? Want your picture up here? GREAT! All you have to do is send it to me!
