Construction Details:

After a long year of hard work, we completed our cosplays of Aqua and Ven. All armor is hand carved, molded, and shaped using sintra, and then the armor was painted and weathered to give it a battle-worn look. Small details on the helmet were made with paperclay. Ven's wig was also hand dyed, cut and styled. As for the pleather, there's lots of it - 2 layers for the upper body. The top layer is to give a plated look for the 'soft armor' on top of the pleather body suit. The bodysuits were made from patterns that we drafted on our own. Capes are made from hand-painted pleather and lined on the back; they also zip off for convenience. Our keyblades also light up and make 'FWOOOSH' noises (sounds like a flushing toilet)! Just as a side note - We made these cosplays in 2008 when there was only a trailer and a few concept images out. We had to zoom in a lot for little details. Character designs also changed while we were making the cosplays so some parts are a fusion of concepts. We did our best to make our cosplays as accurate as possible given the references we had to work from.
