Shot at Katsucon 2018 About three years late but still in LOVE with these photos of Zero. This project was so intense and utilized so many techniques I had/had to learn. In incredible experience. Would definitely love to work with Kairi again at some point.

Casuallyyyyy mingling in shady halls 👌 here’s yo boy Nyx and your fave Glaive OC 🔥 #katsucon #katsucon2018 #ffcosplay #ffxv (at Katsucon)

Gotta fix the yoke a wee bit and embroider the bits and add the straps but lol I don’t have buckles for anything. Yaaaaaay 👌 #thisvinylissostiff #stillcantmove #Penelo #Penelocosplay #ffxii #ffxitza #ff12 #ff12cosplay #finalfantasy #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #katsucrunch #katsucon

Drafted the side panels, front & back harness pieces and yoke. Such strange shapes 🙃 attaching and embroidery come next 👌 hopefully I can move onto the brown bits this weekend 👏 #thisvinylissostiff #stillcantmove #Penelo #Penelocosplay #ffxii #ffxitza #ff12 #ff12cosplay #finalfantasy #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #katsucrunch #katsucon

Lol. Decided to add princess lines after the fact. Still didn’t make the detail seam lines any more visible. 😩 Ugh. Ah well. This ended up being some weird sort of halter. Adding the yellow bits tomorrow. Topstitching the detail lines takes most of the time 🙃 #thisvinylissostiff #stillcantmove #Penelo #Penelocosplay #ffxii #ffxitza #ff12 #ff12cosplay #finalfantasy #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #katsucrunch #katsucon

Testing fit, some edits and then onto the excessive embroidery since I’m not gonna sit here and hand-stamp all that into vinyl 👍 #thisvinylissostiff #cantmove #Penelo #Penelocosplay #ffxii #ffxitza #ff12 #ff12cosplay #finalfantasy #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #katsucrunch #katsucon

Shoutout to @lacee_girl for making the back piece and providing the materials 👏 and to @jjo_ej for doing the tough work of cutting the details out 💕 y’all the real mvps 👌 the lapels are also lamé AHAHAHA My puns are great 🤣 there’s still so many details to attend to ... ... #brbdying #Kingsglaive #FFXVKingsglaive #ffxv #ffxvcosplay #FinalFantasy #finalfantasyxv #ff15 #ffxvcosplay #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #tailoring #HearthandHome #lolwhyamisoextra

So uhh...it’s a bit of a blur and I have no individual process pics of the many tiny labors but had to make piping, paint and mount to collar. Each side of the collar is interfaced for structure, lapels are interfaced and padded for structure. Needs a few more details and lining attached 👌👌👌 Thanks to @lacee_girl & @jjo_ej for assistance in the various tasks. Luv u long time 💕😉💕 gonna go pass out 😵 #Kingsglaive #FFXVKingsglaive #ffxv #ffxvcosplay #FinalFantasy #finalfantasyxv #ff15 #ffxvcosplay #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #tailoring #HearthandHome #lolwhyamisoextra

So I ripped the original stitching apart, canvassed the front and back, basted it back onto the shell and resewed it back together. I started in the shell’s flap-welt pockets too. I have individual photos with notes and details on my FB page if you want to follow my process: http://www.facebook.com/somaruyoh #Kingsglaive #FFXVKingsglaive #ffxv #ffxvcosplay #FinalFantasy #finalfantasyxv #ff15 #ffxvcosplay #finalfantasycosplay #cosplay #tailoring #HearthandHome #lolwhyamisoextra
