Anime Expo 2011!

Oh boy, the things a hard deadline will do to you...

With AX coming up and all my cosplays left up north, I decided to take the wild gamble of creating a new, fully armored, more challenging (than Hakumen imo), cosplay to make.... in two weeks.

That was fun.

General stuff. Rockman Zero designed is based off a new redesign from the recent soundtrack Mythos-- which is pretty slick imo. Being a big fan of the Mega Man series, I saw this new redesign and thought to myself: I've seen several fanart of this, but how about cosplay? xD

Perhaps I'm the first? :P

Cosplay details. This is made largely via craft foam and cardboard-- with some new lessons in plexiglass for the sword and crystal. It was incredibly challenging to compress this into two weeks (considering my previous costume took me... 3 months), but I'm happy with the finished results and plan to add a bit more fore future conventions.

On the plus side, this has remarkably improved my armor making skills. My fabric/sewing skills on the other hand.... no comment. <_<

If anyone saw me at AX, feel free to say hi. AX itself was very enjoyable and it was a lot of fun meeting other cosplayers-- particularly in this costume-- although the Mega Man series in general is underrepresented in terms of cosplay.

As always, comments and critiques are appreciated.

Thanks. Much appreciated! Same here, heh, not to mention-- I'll probably try to do more Mega Man related cosplays in the future-- since the series deserves it!

Most of my explanation about the materials is in my main description, but other than that, it required a bit of craftsmanship and handiwork. Thanks!

I've never tried craft foam before - I dont' think I'm going to try it at this point since I'm at the beginner's level with styrofoam and paper clay :) I would eventually like to try some armour out maybe once I feel more comfortable. I really love armour.
