>< Grrr,Tsukasa!Better at making a staff..at Fanime 03 your not allowed to bring anything in(that means no staff,NOO!!)

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!)

Thank you very much Tsukasa with all the help needed to make my Elk costume great! Maho and Helba I already PM you so don't worry about it.

Well,I really don't care,i'm just the messenger..

Just one more question Tsukasa. Did your friend who did the Elk costume use the same materials and steps as you did to make his staff?

Tsukasa · Post by **Tsukasa** » Mon May 26, 2003 1:00 am

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.

Excellent. Thanks again for your help! As for the rest of the costume did he make it?

Tsukasa · Post by **Tsukasa** » Mon May 26, 2003 1:41 am

Yeah. Actually. We both did the costumes together. That's how we normally work in most cases. Or we try to work together, except we tend to fight and argue over details often. n.n;

Oh yeah! By the way, I have pretty dark eyebrows. If I were to wear a silver/white wig for Balmung(granted, if I was being Balmung), what would I do about my eyebrows?

Tsukasa · Post by **Tsukasa** » Mon May 26, 2003 5:20 am

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 I don't know if it's been archived or not.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

... [insert some sort of blessing process here kthx]
