Wait, what?Well, this costume was spawned from the various jokes in existance about Jenova and what kind of mommy Sephiroth and the Advent Children clones think she's going to be. I mean, in the movie when Kadaj looks in The Box at the chunk of flesh as if she's going to hug him or something.Well, one late night, sleep-deprived AIM conversation later.... |

ConstructionThis wasn't supposed to be a serious Jenova cosplay, so I didn't bother with her intestines hanging out or the strangely shaped red wing things. Instead, I made an apron designed after The Box from Advent Children, complete with green spot where it cracked open, and hazzard tape for the straps. The helmet I did compltely half-assed out of craft foam and sharpie and the wig was made of leftover scraps of the white cloth I made my skirt and top out of.In other words, I'm not going to be winning any construction awards on this thing. 96% of the seams are hot glue >_> I'm so blu-BLAM *is shot*Play the new hit game: PAINT THE TAMI!
This was a long process. I had some $8 theatrical makeup by Paradise that worked wonderfully. It comes in a solid cake and you soften it up just by adding water. I was worried about using a water based makeup all over, but it turned out really good. It will rub off hands (thus why I wore gloves), but I only smudged a little blue on my costume, and that was places like my hairline where I'd sweat due to fifty million bodies in a confined space (god I love con). And the best part is that I didn't make the cleaning staff mad as it all washed off once I got in the shower and left no stains in the tub. I barely used any of the cake, too, so it was a very good $8 investment. HAY I MADE PIE KIDS
After I got it all on I wandered around con looking for mah kidlets. Unfortunatley I only found one Sephiroth, but luckily he was awesome and played right along when I walked up and asked him if he remembered his lunch and is that boy Cloud still picking on you sweetie, etc. It was beautiful AND OF COURSE I only got one picture, and it was too blurry to live. I also had a brief glaring contest with Hojo and terrified a 12-year-old Cloud. In RetrospectAll in all I think that it was a successful crack cosplay, and I'll wear it again at some point. Next time I'll have bagged lunches with chocobos on them for the kids ^^ | ||||||
