Construction Details:

I don't bother keeping track of how long things take me to make them anymore since working full-time blows thing out of proportion. That said, the blue fabric came from China, armor pieces are EVA foam mats with lots of bedazzling, there was lots of sword and sandal wrapping, and minute details. It all worked out in the end and for those who wish to know. The hakama were made using Yaya Han's pattern. I highly recommend it if you are confused by the whole "HERE ARE GIANT RECTANGLES, NOW FOLD" types of directions on the internet. Fantasy kimonos are BS especially with his stupid sleeves, I had to "sneaky-stitch" in some sleeves because weirdly enough, the ends of the sleeves are open. wtff character designers. At least they gave him simple generic-dude hair and I reused a wig I had previously styled for Crow (Fragile Dreams). Gotta take your bonuses when and where you can.

nHard work paid off though, I won 2 awards at Anime USA in the craftsmanship contest.
