Description
Another one, now with the helmet in my hand.Samus Aran
From Metroid Prime 3 - Corruption.
Photo by at Anime Dreams 2009.
[EDIT:]
For those I promised more information about the making of Varia Suit, here is an excerpt from my interview at Metroid Database [link] :
"I used various materials and processes. The arms, hand, legs and body were made with sheets of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate).
My friend Lucas and I shaped it by hand, using EVA in 3 different thicknesses.
The Hand Blaster was all done by me, also in EVA. All finishes and details in low relief, I did with the Dremel.
The helmet and shoulders were made in fiber glass by me and my dad. It was modeled using a motorcycle helmet and two polystyrene balls as bases.
The details were carved in polystyrene and polyurethane.
The painting was done with automotive paint.
Electric part was done with 73 high bright LEDs: 30 green LEDs in the shoulders, 26 green LEDs on the Body and 17 red and orange LEDs on Hand Blaster, powered by 8 AA Batteries and a 3v one.
We also used neon green acrylic on the suit and neon orange acrylic on the Hand Blaster."
Time to accomplish the project: 6 Month

Best cosplay in the history of ever, except for that one Chuck Norris did of himself, that's the only thing that beats this.

This suit captured my sight and I thought it was so well done and fantastic...
The first thing that came to mind was "Metroid: The Movie"

I never post on peoples pictures, if only because I have nothing to show for myself, but you are an exception. You have blown my mind with your perfection in this costume and really all I can do is complement you on what I really never thought possible.

This is truely amazing! I am just floored by the amount of effort and detail you have put into this cosplay. you are one of the few who truely give 'cosplay' a great name! as a cosplayer myself i try my hardest to make everything follow 3 rules: has to be fully functional, has to be incredibly accurate, and has to be made with precision and skill. your samus cosplay is one of the few i have seen that truely meets those requirements and goes beyond! EXCELLENT!! (especially love the LED's, my Fiance' is drooling, and believe it or not, its not 'cuz you're pretty XD) lol
i have to say, this truely inspires me to take my next project from the drawing board and into production, i just hope i can make it to your level!
BRILLIANT!

Wow...I don't get floored with cosplays often but that is quite impressive amounts of work, and the final product most definitely shows! Excellent work, looks amazing!
However, I think you are actually Samus and just walked out of the game and made up the "costume" stuff to throw us off your track.
