(This one looks the dorkiest... >_< )
Well, I did a couple with my half-done Kakuzu. I have everything for him but the Akatsuki robe... which is still being made for me. XD It should have been done by Anime Central in May, but, oh well...
I wanted to do full body, but I didn't feel like doing all the stitches. >P
Only things altered were minor touch-ups, color fix, and I lightened my skin so it looked more... Kakuzu-ish. ^__^
Oh, and the eyes. Duh... I obviously don't have black eyes with green pupils. XD

What did you do Kakuzu's stitches with? I'm currently battling with liquid eye liner.

Aquacolor in black. great for ppl with sensitive skin. comes in a cake form , just wet a paintbrush and have at it. they make a finishing spray for aquacolor too that sets it, otherwise it's highly water soluble. i'm not a heavy sweater so it stays on me fine. but it will also rub off (like on clothing) but its washable.

That's a really good costume ^^ From a Kakuzu cosplayer to another, would you mind telling you how you made that hood?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
uuuuuuhhhhh, kinda by accident. i'm really horrible at sewing lol. if you have a hoodie, take a look at how the hood on that is put together (it will make my explanation sound clearer, ha). it's 2 curved pieces sewn on a curve to create the area where the head goes. so for mine, it's roughly the same idea, but it has to also have fabric to connect in the front so it becomes sorta like an open-face ski mask. if i remove the headband and black part over my face, it's really just a big hole my face goes into. the headband squares off the top and my black face part is removable by velcro. as for making the balck face part... that was all trial and error, i really can't explain that, lol. just buy a bunch of cheap black fabric and experiment until you get it right. i went through 4 or so before i got this one

Kakuzu is the easiest to cosplay. you just cover your face and pretend your really possessive over your money. buy you look awsome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well, the original intent of my kakuzu was to be able to take the face mask off and have "real" stitches underneath it. or go without the head thing & mask entirely. i learned how to do fake stitches in stage makeup class that aren't just painted on...

really? i would have just drawn them on my self with sharpie
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, but then they don't look real. i painted them on for the pics, but when i use the cosplay, they will be "real"

Holy Crap! Nice!!!! The cosplay looks realistic!! ^_~

i was just going to say "whoa, full eye contacts. do those even exist? damn, those must be expensive and kakuzu would be too cheap to buy them." but instead it came out "huuuuuuuuuuuffffffffff. hiscosplaylookssomuchbetterthenmineeventhoughiamdoinghidanandnotkakuzu.ANGRY RANT!rawr rawr rawr!"

daw, i'm sorry D:

Sorry if someone has already asked this, but did you make the costume yourself? If you did, how did you make the mask/hood?
Awesome cosplay, by the way :3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
actually some1 did, but i forgot if it was for this pic or one of the others... and i'm too lazy 2 go look, lol...
they are separate pieces. the hood is 2 pieces sewn in the middle. if you have a hoodie sweatshirt, look at how the hood is on that. it's basically that with the front sewn up some under the chin.
the mask... lol, i'm not sure exactly how i made it. alot of trial and error. the tabs on the end connect it to the hood with velcro, so i can rip it off when i get sick of breathing thru fabric. it has darts, i guess they're called, over the nose and 2 around chin. find some cheap or extra fabric and screw around with it for a while until you get measurements and shape right. that's what i had to do. or even try making one out of paper first, which can be used as a sort of pattern later. but the measurements to consider are the width from side to side (the tabs) across nose, the width and how far your chin protrudes, same with nose... lol, sorry but you'll basically just have to do what i did, trial and error, till you get one that works. it was hard, and it isn't perfect (it looks way better in the pictures then it does up close, trust me), but it's functional. lol, i don't even use them anymore - i do a mask/hood-less kakuzu with "real" stitches (not painted on ones) so it just lays around now, lol

OMG!!! Okay, I'm planning a Kakuzu cosplay. But I need contacts, it's gonna be my first cosplay i wear them for so yeah i'm trying my best to find them but seriously? WHERE'D YOU GET THE LENSES FROOOM!????
*bows at feet*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*sigh* i don't mean to sound rude, but you didn't read my artist comments, did you? i photoshopped my eyes - you can't buy contacts like this. the closest you can get is sclera contacts: [link] (middle/bottom of page)
again, sorry if i sound rude but sooooo many ppl have asked...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its cool. Yeah sorry ^^" i've asked a place that does customs so yeah hope they can do them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
scleras are very expensive too. i hear most places, unless they do hollywood-quality stuff, doesn't do them right and they hurt your eyes. *shrug* your better bet is to just get the good old black out contacts. they look just as cool and creepy, alot less expensive, way more comfortable. who cares if he doesn't have black eyes - they just look cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah Well the place i found it'll cost me like $320 for a pair. Just means the pupil will be black which is alright. i'd like to get as close to it as i can. If now black or dark red could work
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow, $320 for black out? wow... lol, do you have walmarts in Australia? b/c here, you pay $50 for the eye exam, and then for the contacts which in the end your in, like, $100...
