Future Cosplay

Hmm... Do you have any photos of these costumes? I'd love to get to see them sometime. ^____^
The staff was a nightmare. x.x;; Just as a note. The end tip (which I forgot to mention about in my notes) is made of clay, as a counter balance for the weight of the headpiece. With this in mind, it can be used as a functional staff.
However... the clay of that tip has shattered on 2-3 occaisions.

About expensive cosplay hodge-podge... I've calculated my "ichi costume and realized this: Micheals materials= less than $40. I think that (not including the staff) isn't too expensive fo most people. A Balmung costume on the other hand, yeah... to get the perfect metal plates... blacksmithing isn't cheap these days (a sword from a magazine I hae is over $1000 bucks! dude!)

Pretty much. There was a few changes because of the staff's shape and size being slightly different. The core pole used for the rod was a shower curtain we didn't need anymore. However, the steps were pretty much the same, in the end. I think the styrofoam ring for the core was broken to make the ring smaller as well.

That's the same problem I have with Tsukasa, actually. There are wands with color for eyebrows. I don't know what it is exactly. There was a previous topic on a Subaru costume in here. I don't know if it's been archived or not. If it is, you can search Cyberslum for that topic. She and I actually had a conversation on just that same thing. ^^

Successful Balmung cosplay is, IMO, hard to pull off. Far too many detailed parts of the costume. And no matter how hard you try, you'll never look as hawt as he does... <3 But regardless, if you do decide to cosplay him, Balmung's Wife gives you her blessings. ;3
