Description OKAY GUYS! Here is my new pride and joy, my Sorceress Edea from Final Fantasy VIII cosplay! My boyfriend and I decided to do Edea and Seifer one day, because we cosplay Squall and Rinoa, and how cool would it be to do their polar opposites? I am absolutely in love with how this costume turned out. It was worth all the blood, sweat, and tears that went into it! This fantastic photo was taken by Mike Boike at Anime Matsuri 2010, where with these costumes, Score and I won Best Advanced Walkon! Trust me, there are plenty more photos to come!

------

If you like my Edea, I'd really appreciate your votes for the Otaku House Cosplay Idol contest! You can do it in two easy steps!

1.) Just "like" the Otaku House facebook page here: [link]

2.) Then "like" my photo, here: [link]

That's all there is to it! There are a ton of great entries, so I'd appreciate all of your support! Thank you! <3

UN-BE-LIEVABLE. Hope, you are a FLAWLESS Edea. Although I am thinking you had to walk through many doors sideways in this. lol. love love love it.

Hopie-chan In reply to twistoffate [2011-03-28 01:35:15 +0000 UTC]

Yes, there was much side-ways walking going on, haha! That, or I just walked around with the backpiece off. The convention I wore this too was sadly REALLY cramped and small. But thank you, sir! <3

I am unfamiliar with Final Fantasy beyond a few let's play videos and Rikku (Yes I know I'm going to hell). So I am unfamiliar with this character but damn that's an impressive costume.

Definitely look her up! She's the villain in FFVIII.

Omg, this is amazing! The "wings" (I don't know the name of it ._.) are so well done, too. If your boyfriend do that 3th outfit of Squall, you guys would be so "new-costumes" from Duodecim! I want to make the new one of Terra someday.

That is amazing. You pull this character (like everyone else you do) off so well. and the costume is absolutly stunning. You have a very good reason to be proud of this one. Another job well done.

I'm not even kidding, you just made my jaw drop. I'm always excited to see your new cosplays, but seeing one of my favourite cosplayers not only cosplay Edea, but do her so much justice has just made my day. You really have done her exceptionally well and I don't think you could have done anything better on this one. I really can't wait to see some photos of Score's Seifer as well! Your Edea really is incredible. Well done for this one, you look amazing.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions about this? I'm not going to ask for a full length tutorial, don't worry haha. I was just wondering about the materials that you used for the backpiece and headpiece. I lost motivation for my own Edea this year because I was unsure about how to go about those two parts. For the backpiece I considered wood, but I figured that would come out a bit flat and flop because of the weight. Your backpiece has such a nice effect to it, so I was just wondering how to go about recreating that. The headpiece I started out as paper mache (by guidance of my friends...) and they were planning on attaching fimo clay for all the details to it, but I don't see that working haha XD The other option I thought of was the same process, but perhaps with a swimming cap?

(Sorry for the essay XD)

AWH! That was the nicest comment, thank you!

And to make this easy, I'll just link you to my Edea costume account on coscom. I listed the materials there. [link] Good luck with your own! <3
