Description So I'm working on my Abel cosplay here, figured I'd post some pics of it in progress. Of course, by 'pics' I mean 'a picture' cuz I'm lazy.

Anywho, what you can see:
-Robes
-Incomplete capalette
-Belts and assorted rosaries

Can't see:
-Boots

Things in the works right now:
-Trimming and touching-up what I already have
-First round of armor (I had it all finished when this pic was taken but I didn't have the glue to attach the snaps I was gonna use to hold the armor on)
-Resin casting the numerous clasps and decorative snaps that go down the front of the capalette

Planning on showing this one off for Ikkicon in Feburary, and then the Kresnik 80% one at Akon in June after that.

My references were actually sent to me, or were found and then saved to my computer outright. If you give me an email addy, I can put the best ones into a folder and send it your way. Of course, I wouldn't exactly recommend a novel TB outfit for a Halloween deal My costume cost several hundred dollars.

I saw you at Ikkicon! In the Voice Acting Panel, someone asked what the favorite costume the VAs had seen was Wendy said you were the best costume. Someone else did too...I forgot who though

Yes, Wendy is envy. I was one of the few Envy cosplayers. I think I hugged you ^.^ Wendy said I was the first Envy cosplayer she'd seen I felt honored

Tyotto matte! You're coming to Ikki-con? I should be there as well, seeing as I kinda won a free trip (well, minus registration)! Oh, I better get my act together & get some work done, then!

Wow, the outfit looks great so far.
Abel has such an interesting outfit, but I find it rather hard to draw
You've done great though

Aye, my boyfriend and another friend of ours wants to go to a con but they can only spare the time for June/summer, so Akon's it.

For the most part it was just sitting around Hobby Lobby finding brass-looking beads and then beading it all on thin fishing line so it wouldn't break. Took a long time but that's part of the fun when working with such tiny stuff.
