Amano Carbuncle from Final Fantasy VIII
Completed: 100%
Cost: $160
Hours to Make: 20
First worn at: Otakon 2005
Inspiration: This wasn't based off of ONE design of Carbuncle... even though it most resembles the photo to the left, it was supposed to more of a mix of him from 6 and 8. My friend Pork Buns helped to design this because she's a huge Amano fan, and we all wanted to do characters from the series that had more of an Amano styling to them. Our group was pretty rag-tag, but looked awesome.
Easiest Task: The entire cosplay was pretty easy, because I wasn't bound by a certain design, I could interpret and basically do what I wanted with this.
Hardest Task: Airbrushing and the decals on the suite, but not so much because it was hard, but it took the most time. I also burned myself a few times gluing things down. Oh, and Ambrosia and I had blue and green snot for about a week even while wearing masks while airbrushing this lol!
