Oerba Yun Fang - Final Fantasy XIII / 13
 |
| ||||||
Information
| "Fang is a mysterious woman who is working with the Sanctum military despite bearing the mark of the detested l'Cie. Strong-minded and disinclined to mince words, she has the demeanor of someone wholly unconcerned by life's trivialities." I've completely fallen head over heels in love with Fang, even before I started playing the game. She's pretty much everything I aspire to be, and I particularly love the relationship between her and Vanille. ------------ So technically this costume is complete, but after London Expo there are many things that I want to redo for Manchester Expo/Photoshoots etc. I need to completely redo the belt buckles (bits of them came off), do the metally bits for her boots, make the woven belt and figure out how to get my sari to fall properly (it was pissing me off at expo). |

Bladed Lance (Posted 12th March 2012) Okay, so far I've cut out the base of the blades, painted them black; procured myself a pvc pipe and sawed it into 3; and started sculpting various parts of the lance. I've run out of sculpey though and I've got more materials coming my way soon so this is about as much as I can do for now. |
 |
Boot update (Posted 17th July 2011) EXTREME BLUR. Aha, not much has been altered except the metal part around the top (I don't even know what it is...) this baffled me for a while (at expo it was just a silver piece of pleather) but I knew that it was meant to be reflective, metallic silver rectangles. I tried looking for some kind of ribbon that had those kind of rectangles on it, but I couldn't find anything. I settled on buying a few sheets of sticky-back metallic paper, which worked like a charm! I cut out pieces onto bits of pleather and then glued them onto the boots. Not the best job ever, but it's better than what I had before :) |
 |
Sari V.2 (Posted 19th June 2011) Okay so after fiddling around with my sari for a bit I've made it fold SO MUCH BETTER. It's probably not a massive difference but for me it's hella more accurate than how it was at expo, everything is in the right place now :) Please excuse my face for sheer derpitude. 8D |
|
Updates (Posted 13th June 2011) Well expo's over and although I enjoyed myself SO much I wasn't particularly happy with my costume...several things were really inaccurate and are bugging the crap out of me so I have to remake them. That's all for now... |
 |
Extensions! (Posted 16th May 2011) Seeing as my hair isn't quite long enough yet (damn you, hair! D:) I've invested in some lovely extensions, which I've actually started wearing normally aha. Think they look pretty snappy! |
 |
Sari progress (Posted 12th May 2011) I've managed to comandeer one of the sewing machines at school during my lunch break, so rather than hand sewing the sari like the rest, I'm doing this on the machine (oh god, could you imagine how long it would take?!) The bottom sections done, and i was just trying on the top section to see how well it folds and whatnot :) |
 |
Top (Posted 9th May 2011) Thought I would post a shot of the back aswell :) I'm not sure if I like it, it looks...off to me :/ |
|
Booty wooty (Posted 8th May 2011) Oh god, ALL OF MY LIFE. This boot was a pain, and I still have another one to do! I love how it looks, and for my first try at making boot, not too shabby! |
 |
Boot progress (Posted 3rd May 2011) So i've started to make some progress on the boots, sewing the belt loops and such. It's a painful task, but until my base shoes arrive this is what I need to prepare! :P |
 |
Hair progress! (Posted 17th April 2011) Had a quick go at styling my hair - still not long enough, but not too shabby! P.S please excuse my strawberry nails, lmao. |
 |
Fabric + sari trim (Posted 25th March 2011) RIGHT, scrap that last journal about the fabric aha. At the very last minute I found a much better colour! Cheaper as well! :D |
 |
I get my Fang make-up owwwnnn (Posted 13th March 2011) It's sunday, I bought some fake tan mousse that I'm thinking of using for Fang in May, and I'm sooo bored. |
 |
Sari fabric (Posted 11th March 2011) After ordering 46291900 fabric samples for different shades of blue, this is the only one that seems most accurate. It's a lovely shade, I just hope it looks alright :) |
 |
Fur! (Posted 3rd March 2011) My lovely fur arrived today <3 it's so lovely and soft, I'm so tempted to use it as a pillow... |
 |
Jewellery bits! (Posted 22nd February 2011) I had intended on actually buying an amethyst crystal, but after ages of searching on etsy/ebay etc trying to find a suitable match, I gave up and just decided to make some out of purple jewellery clay P: |
 |
Armband + body progress (Posted 13th February 2011) So, I made the little woven armband thing out of spare material I already had - win! I'm still wondering how I'm going to properly fasten it though (it's currently stuck together with selotape P:) |
 |
It's like watching hair grow (Posted 31st January 2011) Well, this is mah hurr. And me trying to look Fangy. |
 |
SQUEENIX Y U DO DIS (Posted 23rd January 2011) ... |
 |
Pendant uno (Posted 16th January 2011) Made the...pendant(? I'm not really sure what it is...) today, using ivory jewellery clay and then a coat of clear nail varnish after I baked it to give it an extra bit of fabulous shine. |
 |
Sari mock-up (Posted 11th January 2011) I'm super keen to get started on this, but before I do anything with the sari I wanna make sure I get the right measurements. The fabric I want is sehr expensive so I don't wanna buy a crap load and then discover I have too much/little. |
