Kingdom Hearts II, Sora cosplay~

Costume + prop making, model and minor post processing by

Photo taken by

My Perth Sora backlog will be defeated right here and now.

And I'll start with the "Start Menu" shot~

*Risachantag took this at such an awesome angle.
Perth winds was brutal to my poor wig TT____TT
And since we had no access to sea salt ice cream for my mouth...i thought I should just hold a keyblade instead

This shoot was done at South Fremantle Beach in Perth, Australia.
This has to be one of the most fun I had at a shoot. It was really refreshing to me in such a comfortable costume shooting at a beautiful cool beach.
The costume got so wet at the end of the shoot, and every time i walked out of the water the pants would be like water bombs and dead heavy because my pants has air pockets in them to let them puff up when I move.

Lots of thanks to

and Mirai also for photographing on the day
And thanks to my lovely twinpants for being the epic smexy Tidus that she was on the day <333

About the costume:
Costume: Completed in 3 days. Nothing really special went on the the sewing of the costume.
Interesting bits include: The giant zipper was actually made from EVA skin sheets, for the EXTRA GINORMOUS teeth. Shoulder pads are made from silver vinyl.
The balloon pants are lined with heavy fabric to give it some mass. I left gaps in the lining to allow airflow, so the pants actually inflate like a balloon when I bend my legs which is pretty cute

Necklace and Buckles: all modeled from Sculpy oven dry clay.

Gloves:Nothing too special. I bought a pair of gloves and stuck belts and pads onto them. Completed in 30 minutes.

Shoes: These are my pride and joy. I got a pair of rubber beach shoes, taped a massive amount of Hobby Fill to the front then covered the shoe with stretch material for the big round look. Zippers and belts were then attached one after another. Completed in 3 hours.

Wig: styled from a punky wig. nothing too special. A can of hairspray and a tube of got2be hair gel and a blow dryer. Completed in 5 hours. Destroyed by the wind at the beaches of Perth in 2 seconds. DX

Hope you like it ^^
