Description
I know my course... This will seal it. The moon leads me!I watched the moon rise tonight on my ride home from work. It was close to the horizon, enormous, and radiant with a golden color. It inspired me to go back into my photo database and see if I could find a hidden gem to post here on Deviantart.
I thought this one was perfect; it displays my Cecil costume in nearly full detail. The craftsmanship on the armor can be clearly seen. Having spent much of my Summer working hard on the armor, I appreciate that!
The armor was made of poster board, various fabrics, foam, beads, PVC pipe, and rubber. Rhinestones were applied to the armor to enhance the in-person appearance (I can't live without a little sparkle.
The blue outer cape was made of suede and was pleated in the back. The inner cape is made of golden silk, lined with the same fabric, edged with white fur trim and painted with turquoise details.
The makeup is by Star Gazer London, Too Faced, Cover FX, and Loreal HiP.
This photo was taken in July 2010 on a perfectly warm and sunny day. On such chilly winter's nights like this one, I've been terribly missing Summer!
(I) made and wore this costume.
The character is Cecil in his Paladin armor from Final Fantasy: IV and Dissidia.
took the photo, made the sword, and gave me the inspiration to rise up and cosplay Cecil in the first place. Thank you!

FF4 is my favorite, just narrowly beating 6. I've played it so many times, it's not even funny. What I WANT to do, is cosplay as Golbez, and hide a speaker on me to play his theme music as I wander a con

Your Cecil.
. All the way.
OH OH OH! ALSO. I went to a convention a couple of months ago and they were showing a video montage of American cosplayers and YOU AND GINGER WERE IN IT. And I was shaking my friend like a can of cola screaming "I KNOW THEM I KNOW THEM I AM TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH BOTH OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO AWESOME AND SWEET AND GHADFSGAD".
I shall cease my spazzing now. YAY ILU GAIZ >3<

I have no idea! I'm going to have to ask around and see. All I know was that it was a really cool video shot at a convention with 'Help I'm Alive' as a background music. AND YOU GUYS HAD A SUPER-COOL PAN. >3<
ALSO, AUSSIES LOVE YOU! XD

Thank you! I added them because they're significant in the Final Fantasy IV story... and they look awesome.

Have I mentioned lately that you are absolutely gorgeous? Your costume is also spectacular!
And wait, there's poster board in there? Seriously? It looks so much like a full foam and rubber job! *bows*

Waaaah, thank you! Surprisingly enough, the central and most important structural parts of this costume are poster board.

Thank you! Isn't making costumes fun? It's such a creative and fantastic hobby. If you keep working on it, you will definitely be able to make detailed costumes.
