cosplays I have done. The leotard, as mentioned, was bought and cut with a craft foam tie that has wire in it to make it stand up. The ‘anti-gravity belt’ was made from the base of a simple utility belt with foam core shapes adorned with craft foam, Styrofoam, and plastic rings. It was all assembled, sealed and painted a plastic black. I also added tons of glow in the dark stickers to the right place. The costume features four LED lights. One on each hip, and one on each pigtail decoration (which was also made from plastic.) The leggings are made from stretch lycra and the gloves are made from satin, and finally the transparent petals are cut and painted from office folders. Though my favorite part is my Crypton anklet. C.G: What are your future cosplay plans? Aicosu: Currently I’m working on some Nightingale Armor from Skyrim and a Princess of the Crystal costume (as well as a matching Sanetoshi costume for the boyfriend) from Mawaru Penguindrum. After that I plan on making some Mass Effect 3 armour for female Sheperd and a Jack costume from the same video game. I have tons of other small plans in between (lots more Hatsune Miku!) and, of course, I will be making many others for commissions and for Sylar, but those are the big plans to debut this year.
