"I'll bring this to an end! " - Kuja, Dissidia

~+~

Goodness! Well here it is, my Kuja cosplay, one of my dream cosplays~ (I've always wanted to cosplay him~!)
I must repeat! REPEAT! This is not even a finished costume! o(x_x)o

I didn't get to finish in time with nearly all the detail I wanted to put into this costume. (This is pretty much the basic construction I did for it. There's still more detail I'm putting into it.)

So by basic standards, it's finished, but to me, there's still a lot more I'm going to be added. So to me it's still a WIP.

I had a photoshoot with Miss :iconapertureashley:~
I went through and picked out my favorite of the bunch!

I love, love, love the fact that Kuja is a mage. I'm a fan of the mage class in Final Fantasy~ So I was even more excited when Dissidia came out and they decided to put Kuja in there. Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite Final Fantasy game and so it was just a super treat for me!

Just a little magic action~

I really can't wait for the next convention to wear this costume. I will be having a more extensive photoshoot with this costume with several photographers. (Once it's more completed.) And yes, yes, I know the metal strap on the chest is slanted the wrong way. It took me over 3 hours to get into this costume. So yes, by the time it was time to put that part, I just simply put it on. It'll be corrected in the next shoot I promise! ><!

For now enjoy these photos of my work! Thank you! ><

And it wouldn't have been possible to put on if it weren't for :iconrockinichigo:, :iconkohaku-in-chaos:, and :iconmiseryxisxlove:. Thank you so much for all your help and being my helpers and bodyguards~! You guys kick major butt! :heart:

Thanks to :iconapertureashley: for the lovely photography and patience as well as sharing her talent~

And thank you to :icon10thmuse: for being her lovely assistant~!

well now..
The wig is just amazing. I really do applaud the effort into making the wig as detailed as the costume.
This is one of the higher quality kujas. the detail is amazing! ridiculously gaudy, but thats kuja for you.
Many thanks for sharing this with us.

^^; Oh thank you. I just worked really hard on it.
Actually...I'm still working hard on it.
There's still more detail I haven't put on it,
so I'll be having another photoshoot with the
completed version in September.

Aww~ Well there's nothing wrong with gushing.
At least you don't glomp at conventions. ><
Some people don't understand personal space or that some
costumes are fragile...
