Description
Baron Humbert Von Gikkengen. His main outfit from the Ghibli film The Cat Returns. The head was fully created by me using foam, a balaclava and fur, the eyes are made of plastic bowls painted, I see through the 'tear ducts' of this head rather than through the eyes. The pics are of the nearly completed outfit. I have the Tuxedo Jacket but it is not on in the main pic here. Trousers, shirt, gloves, tie, hat and tuxedo jacket were purchased separately as it was cheaper to buy these things than make them from scratch.

I will be wearing Baron @ Ayacon in August, but i may also be wearing him to japanday @ liverpool too as he is my fave anime cosplay! He is going to get plenty of wear this year as I have also prepared his blue / ballroom outfit.
