I need to start cosplaying from a different FF series, I know, but I just love Zack so much! Plus my other favorite FF characters that aren't in VII are Blank from IX who hardly wears any clothes, Balthier from XII who might just make my eyes bleed if I even tried, ViVi, also from IX who would be hard for obvious reasons (no face...) and Laguna (AKA Squall's dad) who my friends would laugh at me for.
So I'm getting together a plan of action so I can start work on this right after I get back from San Japan. I know I'm going to raid the local thrift stores, and then ebay, looking for a black ribbed turtleneck sweater and baggy black pants. The pants I can make if I can't find them (I'm just sorta lazy), but I am not knitting that sweater. That is just something I won't do. XD
The pauldrons I am definitely making out of wonderflex. It just seems like the easiest route. The suspenders however are what I am not sure about. I guess I could use a combination of old belts and the pleather I have left over from Yazoo, I'm just not too sure about it. I really want this costume be to be good.
The boots I already have. Good ol' eighties Reboks. I love them things. XD Gloves too. My old driving gloves from New Jersey. I would wear them when I had to drive in the cold...
I also have about a gajillion belts.
The wig I already made. I have a feeling this costume is going to rock. Hopefully... XD
