...Yo... *puts on cool shades & says 'dude'* XD

This-here isn't quite the finished cosplay... That-there trenchcoat is only the prototype. *designed own pattern 4 this*

Too seem more pics, or just bigger clearrer versions of the pics already here, go to: http://2swishy4u.blogspot.com/2006/08/blind-riku-cosplaytrenchcoat-abused.html

Now that I've taken some pics of it, I'll finish doing to it what I need to do to it in order to complete my pattern for the FINAL version of it... 0.0
(notice the big ugly horizontal seam around the waist--------that seam wont be there on the final version. *dies of it* x_x) ....aaaaand on the final version, some of the other seams won't quite be right, achording to the screneshots, but I'll be painting oversized fake ones on it so that it still at least looks like it matches. *sly sneaky smile* ^.^

You can't see it here, but Oblivion is still broken... *crys* :-(
And now that KH2 came out and corrected me, I must make Way To The Dawn! Oh well, at least now my lil-lil brother's Org-member Roxas Cosplay will be more accurate.....having Oathkeeper AND Oblivion. *did/does not want to be stuck w/ TWO Oblivions in closet, so is only ever gonna make one* 0_o
....Way to the Dawn is cool, though... ^_^ ...I tried to find an official-art of it, but failed miserable......can, perhapes, anyone point me to one? ...Pwease? *shiny puppyeyes* ...oh, wait... *takes off blindfold* (rofl XD)

I have a gift... (for who ever is reading this, but especially for my friends Tripletrouble3 and Draelf97!) o.o
...Once I'm done w/ the pattern, I'll upload it onto the internet in little 8x10" pieces thus that people can print it out and use it to make their own coats. 0.0 *knows what a pain it is trying alter patterns when all u want is for it to look "right"* >.<
I'm quite a ways-off from achieving this, but this is where I'm gonna post it when it's ready: NobodysBuddy.Blogspot.Com ...for all those who r interested. B-)

The Variouse Articles In This Cosplay Are:
~ Prototype OrganizationXIII Uniform w/ PprMAche Silver Beads.
~ PprMache Oblivion Keyblade.
~ Just for the fun of it, an unfinished PprMache Kingdom Key I'm still working on. :-)
~ Blue Satin-Ribbon Wig.
~ Seethrough Blindfold.
~ Boots (I have not yet begun working on these, but I intend to alter them to be knee-high and look like "Ansem"/Xehanort's, cause that's what all the Org13 members wear for shoes.....copies of KH1-Ansem's! 0.o)
~
aaaaand that's it! :-)


Just a note about the zipper, cause the zipper's interesting. :-)
Since I'm so obsessed w/ accuracy, I even wanted to make the zipper look accurate... Looking at the screneshots, u'll notice that these jackets have a very large zipper--------I tried and tried and tried to find one that big, but couldn't. So, here's what I did---- I used rick-rack. But not just any rick-rack! GIENT rick-rack! ...But here's the catch: they sold every color of size-"Jumbo" rick-rack, except silver-----so I bought "Jumbo" gold and spraypainted it! XD

When it was dry, I took that spraypainted rick-rack and sewed it to a black two-way zipper such that the waves would interlock (looking like a zipper) ON TOP OF the REAL zipper, and then sewed THAT to the coat!

As you can see, it worked quite well at the top.......buuuuuuuuuuuut I got kinda lazy and didn't quite finish it as nicely at the bottom. ^_^ *cuase is gonna have to undo the whole thing when takes this coat apart to make the pattern for the final, perfected version* 0.0!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, I just cannot live with that seam around the middle!!! *dies a horrible, emotionally-painful death* x_x
