*Parn (Artbook)*
Record of Lodoss War
Made for: Robbie
Worn at: Anime Expo 2006
Chara Info: If you don't know anything about Parn, you need to watch more anime than Naruto :P.
Why Him?: Robbie and I ADORE Lodoss. It's a gateway anime for the both of us. He's been wanting to cosplay Parn for a while, but unfortunately his main outfit's armor is a little beyond me at this point ^^;;.
The Story: This was Robbie's Christmas present in '05!
Hmm, what is there to say on this costume? Not much. I used a Revolution period pattern for the shirt and pants, and mutilated it in the process ^^;;. I learned one thing from that pattern -- a half-normal/half-elasticized waistband does NOT work very well! The cloak pattern was hand-drafted, and somewhere along the way I forgot what the collar was supposed to look like :/.
My favorite part of the costume is the shirt collar. I embroidered it with the machine at work -- it was my first personal project with the machine, and one of my first digitizing experiences period! I could definitely do a better job with it now, but I still think it looks nice!
