Quite the crazy cosplay indeed! The sword took about 98% of the time I put into this costume! I was working on it until the end, but the big problem was actually that I was making a cosplay IN school. So it was hard to manage time, and I basically worked on the non-sword part in about three days time, finishing most of the accessories in one day. QUITE STRESSING and I don't recommend it or think I am going to do that again on a cosplay. I owe a big thanks to my girlfriend, who was Sheik, and was not quite happy about me cramming this costume right before a costume contest...she helped me out a ton, due to her superior knowledge of sewing, and helped me mainly on the jacket and wig, two things that I needed to learn more about doing. So I learned a lot from this costume as well, from propmaking to sewing to styling wigs. These will all help me for my next cosplay, 2D from Gorillaz, which will be a wind-down chill cosplay for me after this one...

This picture and all of them so far were taken at Anime Boston, and I will be refixing this costume for Otakon and Conneticon, all while hopefully showcasing 2D at the same time.
