Series: Final Fantasy 13

Costume Creation: This was made with the help of Tom from Cosplay Kitchen! The jacket was made with a thick brown nylon inner lining with the top being a polyster off-white fabric (can't remember exactly what it was).  Buckles on it were either casted or I created a mold and used hotglue as the material.  The shoulder piece was crafted from 3mm craft foam, 3 layers of woog glue to coat and then I used El Wire to make it light up.  The gloves are a 2 way stretch knit fabric with the knuckles are out of 2mm craft foam with wood glue.  The straps /belts throughout the costume are just basic pleather.  The skirt is AN AMAZING copper stretch pleather I came across.  Undershirt is a ribbed brown 2 way stretch knit fabric.  

Gunblade was created and designed by my brother.  It DOES transform, you can see that in the video here.  Note: this is still a work in progress! A new design is being made so it transforms 100% accurate to the game.  So this cosplay will be revamped as soon as the next Gunblade design comes in.  It is entirely 3D printed or laser cut.   My brother designed and assembled it, and I sanded and painted it.
