This is my second cosplay and the first real serious one ^^ And I must begin with saying that I'm really impressed that Cloud can even fight in this thing! Yet alone wear it all day long in the heat! XD It was warm and slightly uncomfortable, yet, it was cosy <3

This costume was made in about a week because of shattered schedules and family problems ^^; So...yeah XD Wish I'd had a little more time to fix the details.
I made mostly everything out of wood or metal and everything from scratch are handmade, except for the shoes (didn't have time to make those). - Since english isn't my native language, I'm not all too good on names of different metals and fabrics... so I sadly have to skip that ^^; But yeah, hip armour, eh...metal thingies on the upper arm and calws are of different metal while the sword is solid (and heavy, my gawsh XD) wood and the arm-wheel things alike. To make the cloak stand up around the neck I made a...thing in paper and tape which I hid between extra layers of fabric and the wig was made into 'Cloud-look' from a half long blonde wig. ^^

I actually wore bright blue lenses (really looked like Cloud's! <3) But you could never spot them that well ;__;
