| I love Beyond Good and Evil and realised that there just haven't been many cosplays (or at least good ones) of Jade, so I want to give it a go. I'd love it if I could get a Pay'j but it'll be incredibly difficult to do unless someone's short, large and a master at prosthetic pig helmets. I've started research and am planning how to do the costume. Finding thick dark green fabrics might be tricky and I want to make the ends of the staff glow like in the game. I plan to have this done in time for Minami, but I want to get it complete before the end of February because of plans for my other cosplay (which is going to be a surprise) I've already found a wig: http://www.wonderlandwigs.co.uk/product/black-wigs/porzia-short-black-spiky-layered-flicked-ladies-wi.ashx UPDATE: I've decided to improve this costume and re-wear it at the London MCM Expo 2012 and also enter it into the masquerade. I want to get this costume perfect! | |

Re-doing Jade (Posted 21st April 2012) There were a lot of things wrong with my Jade cosplay and I really want to improve on it. I've decided to enter it into the London MCM Expo Masquerade on the Sunday in May. Before then I need to improve the belt (including making a back holder for the staff), a staff that lights up (determined to make it light up), and improve the trousers and tidy up the jacket. I began improving some of the stuff today but have run into a wall already. The pattern on the side of the trousers was pretty poorly done as it was rush job at 1am the day before Minami. So I decided to make a new pattern and sew it on, but the one I've made don't cover all the paint -_- And I can't get the acrylic off without ruining the fabric. I know I'm probably being really anal about the details, but like my Horo coslay, I want the work I create to be perfect. If it's not, then I need to improve it and wear it again. Which is great because I like wearing my costumes more than once and it's a good excuse to do so. Also, because Jade was a rush job before I didn't take ANY progress pics. Not good for a competition. So I'll take progress pics this time of my improvements and put them online :) |

Such a good Jade, you looked fantastic and that wig really suits you.
Can't believe I didn't recognise you XD
So much win!
can't believe it took me so long to realise who you were cosplaying XD I'm such a div some times, this was awesome, kinda hoping theres some more do-able characters in the next one :)
Absolutely fantastic! This is definitely an underappreciated game so it's a pleasure to see it brought to life.
Best Jade evar :P
Still.. needs more glowing stick thing. Guess you'll JUST HAVE TO WEAR IT AGAIN!
Your wig and jacket are awesome! If you don't mind me asking, how did you go about styling the wig and making the jacket? I cosplay Jade as well, & it's interesting that we both want a working dai-jo 8D Really hope I'm around to see you masqerade this on the Sun of Expo!!
