It took me two weeks to finish Radu, although I'm still going to add more to it, including a hat, and maybe a sword.
When I made this cosplay, I wasn't even a year old in turns of Cosplay experience so I was very happy with it.
Due to the conflicting details of the only two reference pictures I know in existance, I picked and chosed which detail I want from the two and combined it together to make this cosplay.
The knots on the chest were dyed red since I couldn't find one that I liked that came in red. The sleeves are double layered like the colored reference picture since I like the look of that better. All the gems were glued on one by one and it was a major pain in the behind >__<
The worst of all is... this is still not done.
Hat was added for Otakon 2006, then the boots and back were modified. And no, it ist still not done, well... if I decided to add armor to it that is.
