| Description | |
|---|---|
| I love Fang, i love her design, her attitude and so many other things. She is just so cool, and powerful what a strong woman. All the chracters from Final Fnatasy XIII are amazing, and after playing with Fang i still love her the most ^__^ She has a very Rinoa-esque look about her i think? What with the lovely blue, black vest and arm thingys? And yay for an FF girl with tattoos! :D There are a few things i would like to change about this costume, b ut i was very pleased with the outcome. This cosplay was soooo expensive due to using silk dupioni! But well worth it. In the future i would love to make her weapon! *Fang will be worn to the MCM Expo this May, cant wait to get some proper pics of her* | |

Journal

Almost there (Posted 26th May 2010) so yeah....id say ive worked my arse off pretty much all day today, i could have got this compleated so much ealier if i had worked like i have done today. All i need to do is fix my boots(parts fell off already) thats what i get for being lazy. |
|
so (Posted 20th May 2010) Boots are done finally, they arnt perfect but i dont care anymore, i just want to get it finished!!! |
|
PROGRESS!! (Posted 6th May 2010) ok so its been pretty much a month and not alots happened, tut! So im starting up again, boots are almost complete, im not 100% happy with them, but i never am with anything...(hench the fact i have remade the earrings again) Its just that damn trim thats keeping me back from finishing! The fur pelt things wont take me long to do at all, i wonder if i can construct them into a sort of money/phone/camera holder aswell hmmmm |
|
Fabric (Posted 3rd April 2010) Ok so i went for number 5. Its silk dupioni(yes very pricey!) so true to the material in the game. Just need to wait for it to arrive from the US now :) |
|
Trim (Posted 15th March 2010) Ok so ive started on the trim, finally found a paint that wont actually run through the ribbon finally, only problem is though its messy!!!! made such a mess of this but you get the idea. I will try and make the main bits you can see better, also im aware that the colour of the triangles isnt right, buuut i cant afford a different colour :( This is only llike 3 meters and its taken forever! ive put the gold next to it so you can kinda see what it will look like :) |
|
Boot (Posted 3rd March 2010) ok so one boot almost done, still looking very messy, needs tidying up painting etc etc. need to add the silver bit around the top too, so one down one to do argh! only a piture of the front because the computer mucked up the side pictures!!!! need to add toe bits too. |
|
Tattoo progress! (Posted 3rd March 2010) SO yeah heres the stencil of fangs large tattoo! possitive and negative |
|
More progress (Posted 24th February 2010) Been working on the saris trim today, cutting stencils etc, see the best way it will work, then painting with fabric paint! Stencils take forever, i will start work on the belts soon, and the tails. |
|
Progress (Posted 11th January 2010) So im waiting for my boots to arrive still >__< im so impatiant! I went out today to find some bits. I bought my ribbon etc to go no the trim of the sari, and also some fabric paint to do all the little details, i will make a stencil for them so the pattern will be the same all the way around i recon. I also found some vests i can use to make the arm bits and crop top! Going out to get my lovely sari material tomorrow hopefully, I just couldnt find what i was looking for today sadly. Jewlery is coming along well. |
|
Started (Posted 30th December 2009) Ok so i couldnt help myself, i have started. I want to take my time on this costume, so i am doing little bits at a time atm. Will post some pics of my progress soon ^____^ |

Fang looks like such an amazing character from what i've seen in the trailers, I'm really looking forward to seeing you make this one :D
She does, im in love hahaha. I cant WAIT to start it, i may do very soon. Im too excited not to start it soon >__<
ahh she looks awesome =D
and also she has bahamut as a summon woo!
you'll look great =3
hehe exatically! thats makes her even better :D
Ohhh i can't wait for you to do this cosplay ^_^
Im really excited about it! i had to start, I want to try and get it almost perfect
Wow! You really suit Oerba, facially 8Db
awww hehe thank you ^__^
If you're not doing anything Sunday of May Expo masquerade, and provided you go to expos, would you please join our FF13 group :D
We have Vanille, Hope, Lightning, Snow, Cid and Serah but no Fang yet D:
PLEASE say yes
Wow the hair and necklace are looking so perfect!!!! I can't wait to see more progress ^_~
@ street angel - Ooooo very cool! if its finished i would definatly consider :D
@ feather - hehe thanky youuu
ow the wigs looking nice, def have the right look
Awesomeness :D!!!
XXX
Great work on the wig styling so far. So is the lace 'headband' something you have attatched - as a foundation for adding the widows peak to the front hairline? Is it special stuff sold by wig sellers?
Thank you Ranma ^__^ its getting there. Well its a lace front wig so you get that natural hairline look, you cut that part away when you have it how you want it but it will help to add the widows peak with cut off hair, even though i have no idea how to :S
When you find out how to attatch the extra hair pieces pls tell me as well :D
meanwhile.. I shall google 'lace front wig' :)
Lave front wigs are awesome ^___^ and can be the ftw. I though it would be more apropriate for this sort of hairstyle hehe
Ohhhh the wig is so beautiful =]
This is looking awesome so far :)
This is amazing hun =D can't wait to see
Thanks for all the lovely comments guys ^__^
As I've already mentioned your progress is looking great! And your necklace looks fantastic ^^

Wow! Looking amazing. Loveing the jewellery.
Thank you so much for all your comments guys ^__^ just need your help please deciding on the final fabric >__<
I think number 5 looks lovely and practically perfect in the sunlight, but it seems a bit a pale in the other photo :/
I'd probably say number 1 :)
Beautiful work so far btw ^^
5 on the top row :3!
xx
Hmmm...i'd say either 1 or 5 as well, I think i prefer 5...
Either 1 or 5 :)
I'd say either 3 or 5 :)
Can't wait to see this finished!
Looking great, i personally like the look of 5
Number 5 it is then! Thank you everyone! :)
Omg boots are amazing!!
Love them boots so much! ^___^
It looks really great! I'm really impressed :D What toe thing are you after making? that little leather flap bit she has peeking out of the boot? *is probably wrong XD*
thanks everyone! about time i posted some progress! yeaah the weird flap thing, that she has some toes in, i just cant figure out how to put in on lol. Im getting so high on spray paint atm, NOT good!
the boots are amazing hun =D
oh my god, those boots. i just died from amazing.
this is going to turn out so great - and i think you're the splitting image of Fang!
The progress on this is amazing! ^^
Hmm, I can't see it properly on the pictures I've looked at, but the main CG one thats floating around online (http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-09/ff13-oerba-yun-fang.html) suggests that its actually open on one side, if you look at her left foot, you can just see her toes peeking out.
Only thing I can think of would be to get some fake leather or some left over leather from the boot and glue it to the sole of the boot and wrap it round your toe? It looks like it doesn't fully enclose her toe, just one side, so it thats the case, maybe you could stiffen some fake leather with either some watered down PVA glue or fabric stiffener (heck even some thin cardboard painted brown and stuck to the underside of the leather)to give it that curve around the toe. It almost looks like a weird toe separater to separate the big toe from the others.
Sorry, I know thats probably not much help D8
thank you member, eayh i did notice that, i was gonna try card or something, its just sticking it so it doesnt hurt my toe thats the pain. \stupid boots lol haha.
What about if you put some sort of soft felt on the inside of it to make it less coarse against your toes? :3
oooo yes felt! I have lots of that!
ok, those boots look fanbloodytastic.... well done!!
Love the belts so far! Keep it up
xxx
if you get this done in time for minami come ill push snow
Boots look great hunny =]
eeeeep more cool progress ^___^ LOVE TEH BELTS <3
xxx
Eeeek! Looking absolutely fantastic so far! The belts look great, as do the boots - They must have take you forever to do.
Glad to see the woven armband looking snazzy ^^
You inspire me to get a move on with my cosplay >.<
Utter perfection if you ask me. I'm going as lightning for london expo this may. I will look forward to seeing you there.
Wao, your Fang looks like it's gonna be amazing for sure~
Don't mind if I add you~? |D
This is coming along sooooooooo well huni! She is my favourite character and I cant wait to see her finished =) <3
I think you'll be perfect fpr this cosplay - you look 100% like Fang already and it's not even complete xD! Doing really well so far! :O I love all the accessories & the shoes!
Cant wait to see you in this! Its gonna be amazing.
wow you look epic! I'd love to get pics with you ^-^ will you be at mcm may expo?
Thanks for all the lovely comments guys!! Sorry i havent had many progress pics up lately i have lost the lead to my phone so they are stuck on there >__<
@Tasha - I most certainly will be at expo :)
This progress pictures are looking REALLY REALLY GOOD. *___* I can't wait to see this! Have you got plans on when you'll debut this costume?
F*CK ME! This is looking INCREDIBLE!!!
@Alyx - Thanky yooou! ^__^
@Pez - Thank you too, i want to wear it for the MCM at the end of the month, but i have no prop, so im holding back on that idea, as i dont want to be judged by anymone for not having one haha >__<
The boots look excellent! Geez i sooo can't wait to see this in person, you really should wear it for may! Its just so beautiful ^_^
As a fellow Fang cosplayer, I can say you WON'T be judged just because you don't have the prop! I just decided to go, and I would love to take pictures with you if you do to! ^_^ (planning it for the Sunday though!)
