Can anyone help with a Sephiroth? I might even end up being Loz if I suck too bad at this  

[xXxBloody_Gothic_AngelxXx]

Can anyone help me on how I would pull off Jr. from Xenosaga Episode 3?? (I would want change it slightly to make it a female version....)

 

[jyrotika]

Are either of you good at sewing?

If so, I suggest going pattern hunting for Sephiroth, and possibly for Jr's coat.

If not... We'll cross that bridge when we get to it sweatdrop

For Jr., you can probably buy most of the items there. I'm not sure how you'd want to tweak it to make it a female version... That shirt leaves little room for confusion! sweatdrop Perhaps you could make the shirt a belly-shirt? And maybe instead of the purple continuations on the pants, you could wear purple tights? That's about all I can think of...

AH! Jr. <3<3<3 He's one of my favorites (next to KOS-MOS) ANYWAY, You could actually do that from just found objects/clothing. I would start at consignments shops or second hand stores. The pants can be done by sewing black shorts or separate black fabric onto a pair of brown suede pants. You can find a black jacket I'm sure and get some white fabric (which, if you don't want to buy a big piece of fabric, you can just cut up some t-shirts for). The shirt, you can do just a regular grey t-shirt. Black or brown loafers would work for the shoes. Like i said, you could just find all of this stuff at second hand shops. Good luck~ :3

I already drew that coat thingy's textures to paper. And I got a 'zettai' full body outfit. I need the paint though.. but the problem is.. How I do this head decoration? Any help is good. I'm doing this costume for next year's Tracon. It's in Finland, summer.

*takes a deep breath*

I'm trying to build an ODST from the new game Halo 3 ODST. Does anyone have experience in armor building? I'm using pepakura to build my armor pieces. In case someone doesn't know what I'm talking about it's essentially papercraft models but on a large scale. I eventually need to strengthen the pieces and I'm stuck there. I want to avoid fiberglass and I'm wondering if there are alternatives to fiberglass. I've looked into paper mache but I'm a little iffy using it, not sure how long or how strong it'll be.

Thank you for the assistance.

Well I'm not too bad at sewing. So I think I should go hunting for a pattern.

I also want to eventually cosplay as Marluxia from Kingdom Hearts. So what materials would be good for the scythe? I haven't made weapons before. I buy cheap plastic ones. I might go weaponless though. sad

The red shirt looks like the T-shirts they sell at Jo'ann's and Michael's craft stores.

You should be able to find a lot of that stuff at local thrift stores/ second hand stores.
You can try Wal-Mart as well. :'3

I really need help transforming this pattern into an Organization XIII coat. I need a good idea for the hood and the little details of the jacket, like the extra seems and all that.  

[Extreme Cuddler]

I need help with a Bomberman cosplay. I am not sure how 2 make the head. I need it 2 be able 2 hold its shape and I need it 2 be easy 2 put on my head. The rest of the cosplay I can do I am only having trouble with the head. I hope that it is done be4 January cuz I am going 2 ALA, but if its not I guess I can try and take it 2 AX. (This is the 1st cosplay that I am going 2 try and make by myself).  

[Cariella]

I'm cosplaying Zoey (left 4 dead) and I'm having issues with that red jacket of hers.

I can't find a decent picture of it. This is the best I could find. =.=
D:

I do have sewing experience, in fact I'm very good, but I'm already drowning in projects so I'd like to eliminate the option of sewing the whole thing. I am willing to alter. I just cant find a (fairly cheap) red jacket that looks like hers.

help?

@Cariella: I cosplayed as Zoey and I just went into herbertt sports and got a simple sweat jacket. easy to find in work out clothing.
