Description Just a quick upload while I'm on my lunch break.

Dilandau from Escaflowne was one of the first characters I wanted to cosplay so to finally do it was amazing. And- even better- I had wonderful friends cosplaying Escaflowne with me

This costume was really difficult to make. There were a lot of new things that I had never done before, mistakes and remaking, but I had fun. Especially when I messed up the armor and had to wake *twinfools up at 5am to tell him I needed to go to Home Depot before the con XD I don't know why, but that was one of the best memories from AE 2010... Can't say the same for Twin I thought he was going to kill me lol

Myself as Dilandau Albatou from The Vision of Escaflowne
Costume made by (myself)
Armor made and I helped by destroying it then spray painting it lol XD

You're very welcome :3

I'd need a Van... and I actually have a guy who is 6ft 4 who would be perfect for the job but the only problem is getting the costume stuffs and making the costumes. XD

Your cosplays of Escaflowne totally made my week xD
Escaflowne is like...my favorite anime of all time.
it is the anime that got me into anime...and its sad that it doesn't get enough love D:
You make an amazing Dilandau! I have only seen 2 great cosplays of him...and this is one of them

VandorWolf In reply to XxNaomi-LukarixX [2010-09-12 17:38:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! It's really sad that a lot of my favourite animes are considered "old" or most people don't even know them I'd love to see more people cosplaying older stuff.

XxNaomi-LukarixX In reply to VandorWolf [2010-09-12 17:48:27 +0000 UTC]

me too, I love 'blast from the past' cosplays

and I agree that so many amazing animes go unnoticed D:
