Description Uploading a few other things before getting around to some newer pics. I really like this detailed upper-body shot taken by Benny Lee at AWA 2010. You can really see just about everything here. Wander was a labor of love for me, being that Shadow of the Colossus is my favorite game and I wanted to bring his character to life through cosplay. All of the symbols on the tabard piece are appliqued on and satin stitched around by sewing machine. I did a lot of hand embroidery for the stitches, to make it look handmade and suitable for the culture of this character. This is 'beginning of game' Wander, obviously, though I want to make the fully 'taken over' version from the end of the game someday, too. But I think I'll get around to The Queen from ICO before that.

When I finish it I will gladly show you. I will just have to remember ... (Do you go to Florida cons often? You look familiar...)

Same here! If you do the queen, tell me which con you will debut it at. I would love to see it in person. C:

Will do! I also have an Ico costume I enjoy getting more wear out of, though I do need to replace the sandals because of the water damage they got at the beach.

That is awesome. I am so glad there are more people out there besides me that love ICO. It was my favorite childhood game and yet I am surprised by how many people don't know it.

Oh my gosh. This is gorgeous. Also, I find myself staring at your eyes, which I do ALL THE FREAKING TIME with Wander when I play the game. You make a wonderful Wander.

Thanks! My eyes are naturally two different colors, one is a golden brown and one is a darker brown. Neat to see, but not very useful for cosplay unless it's Spike Speigel from Cowboy Bebop lol.
