athrun zala
Athrun Zala was the first costume I ever made and I love it for that reason even though it didn't turn out terriby well. It was a rush job since I wanted to finish it for my friend's Halloween party. Consequently, not all of the parts came out as well as I would have liked. I chose to do Athrun because I had just recently gotten into Gundam SEED and I loved the ZAFT uniform. Athrun was my favorite ZAFT member (and character at the time), so I figured it would be a perfect choice. The jacket and pants were made out of red and black polyester. The black trims were done with bias tape and the yellow parts were done with some random scraps of material I had lying around at home. I held the collar together with velcro. That probably wasn't the smartest idea since it was uncomfortable and would always come apart. The belt was made out of white foam covered in white material which was also held together by velcro. The boots were actually my old school shoes with white boot covers. I'm very proud of the way my boots came out. Since I was new to cosplay, I hadn't yet learned the concept of good and bad quality wigs. That resulted in me buying a cheap $15 wig that would shed easily and didn't want to stay in place. After storing it for a couple of months, I find it isn't so bad to deal with. I kind of actually like it. The only problem I have with it is it's unatural shinyness in the light, but hey, you get what you pay for, right? Pictures Sadly, I only got a few pictures of me in my costume and none of them came out well, so I have nothing to show for it. I might take a few pictures if I get the chance just so you can see what the end results were. Sorry! |
