Construction Details:

Shirt, pants: purchased



pendulum: purchased off amazon. will eventually add the wings



goggles: bought a pair of steampunk goggles online and repainted them. The star on the right lense is actually craft paper sandwiched between the colored lense and the clear lense that sits on top of it.



choker: made from leftover vinyl trim from Yusei and a AoT buckle. Closes with velcro in the back.



Wristbands: made myself using jersey.



Jacket-cape: The most difficult aspect of the costume after the wig. Like any Yugioh protagonist Yuya wears his jacket off his shoulders and it drapes more like a cape. Real life physics doesn't work this way so I ended up using a caplet pattern I've used in previous costumes as a base and sandwiched in sleeves from a pirate costume (to get the exaggerated cuff shape) into the shoulder seam. Made out of white stretch sateen and lined in itself, the collar is leftover Thief King fabric and the gold trim is a 4-way stretch pleather from Yaya Han's fabric line. Bekalou was awesome enough to help me finish this thing right before Fanime so a big shout out to her for being rad :)

Personal Thoughts:

I really can't quit doing these card game costumes.

Styling Notes

THIS WIG WAS STUPID HARD DX Consists of a Jareth in Apple Red and a Luthein in Emerald. I originally wanted a Inigo but Arda was out of stock, so I had to go with a longer wig than I wanted. Straightened the Luthien out, cut where I figured would be best, and did the stacking method for splicing wigs and sewed the green on top of the red. sectioned off the spikes, trimming and styling from the bottom up. The ahoge is stiff felt and covered in extra green wig fiber - the process for that was incredibly painstaking as I had to go back and forth from each side. The ahoge alone was about 8 hours of work. And then I hot-glued it directly to the top of the wig.

Wig Review

this wig was a huge learning curve for me. First ever wig splicing and structured ahoge. While I was styling it I wasn't entirely confident with how it was progressing, but once I finished it and tried it on I was much happier with the finished product. I am quite proud of it.
