.Hack Ouka costume help
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2007 11:26 am
Okay I have a million questions about this cosplay, because it's basically my first one that I'll be 'making.' (I'll have a bit of help from my friend's mom.)
Ouka from .Hack//Legend of the Twilight, manga version. It took me forEVER to find some reference pictures for this character, and they're still not wonderful. I have the manga so I have those pictures, but no scanner. xD; For some reason I couldn't find manga scans online....
Anyways, here they are:
This is a fanart of basically the exact same picture of her entrance in the manga: Ouka
Better view of accessories: OukaAccessories
Collar closeup: Collar
And here's a picture of a cosplayer who did an awesome job: http://melskie.deviantart.com/art/Ouka-2-67106981
I'm pretty sure she's on cosplay.com, but I tried contacting her and no answer.
I plan on buying white hot pants rather than a bikini bottom because it'd make me feel a tiny bit more comfortable.
And now questions:
1. Should I MAKE the collar and just buy a D-ring? Where should I get a good material for a collar?
2. The fur. I found this: Material but I've never purchased anything from there, so if any one can recommend it, or if you've bought some faux fur from somewhere else, please post it.
3. Her giant boa thing, should I like... stuff it with something? XD Suggestions on how to do that please?
4. Fur boots. no idea how to do that. I've seen it done, but how? And how to add the claws too?
5. Her markings on her arm and leg don't show all the way around in the book, they basically just show the front with the oval and a smaller oval in it then an almost diamond shape on the side, but I can't find any back views. What should I do for that? And what color should I make it? I was thinking dark blue, but the previously mentioned cosplayer made it red. ? Also, I was thinking of doing it in sharpie since it won't rub off onto stuff. good idea?
6. I don't really know how to do the belts on her stomach. no ideas at all. Help?
Whoo. So I think I can find a bikini top, white hot pants, the hand spikes and the ones on the leg, a wig, ears aaand earrings.. think that covers it.
Sorry for so many questions.
Thanks.
