Description
Myself as Lulu and my boyfriend Miles as Wakka from Final Fantasy X. Photo taken by Lionel at Otakon 2008. These costumes were quite the beast to construct and wear - I sewed everything and styled both wigs, Miles constructed his armor, sandals, and blitzball, and they both take roughly 2 hours to get into. D: We've sworn to attempt easier costumes in the future! Lionel did a beautiful job with this shoot; he managed to make a typical handicap ramp look absolutely epic. XDPlease no critiques/criticism. I'd like to keep this gallery happy! <3

Thank you! He made it out of a standard kid's bouncy ball, covered it in halves of styrofoam balls, and then applied lots and lots of gesso to smooth things over. I've never quite gotten around to painting the design on it, so it's not really finished. D:

ohhh... that's cool~ I just guessed that it was a plain styrofoam ball because it was all white... I didn't expect it to have a real ball inside~
I was kinda wondering why it wasn't blue/yellow *couldn't remember well* I thought it wasn't finished. But it still looks great I'm sure the finished product would turn out really well ^_^

Awww. Well, if I make it out to ACen, you can have me! But like I said, Miles will be super busy with exams. I'm still hoping we can both make it out there!

Aw, yeah. D: It's a little sad how no one really tries to match the fabric [both in texture and colour]. The only fabric part of her costume that has a sheen is the corset, and it's only very slight. So no PVC, period. XD
