12th October 2013: Progress Entry #4 The boots are just about done, just a couple of tiny adjustments ^_^. I wish I'd had a little more time, but nevertheless I'm happy with how they turned out :)

21st September 2013: Progress Entry #3 Getting there ^_^ The boots are nearly complete, just the upper armour on the right boot to finish, as well as a couple of touch ups and small adjustments. The capelet is complete; the arm and leg sleeves are just about complete too :)

I decided to not use the dyed wool, instead I chose a slightly darker wool fabric. The reason behind this was, when putting each colour up against the tunic and armour, the lighter colour, even though more accurate to the character, clashed, whereas the darker colour worked better :)

Hopefully, the vast majority of the costume will be done by the end of the month ^_^

31st July 2013: Progress Entry #2 Since the last progress entry, I've managed to find a way of getting the colour as accurate as I can on the wool, which is great ^_^ This will be done after the armour is completed. I've also managed to cut and paint all of the leather belting, as well as paint the belt buckles :)

For the armour, I've just about finished a vambrace (left), but I would say it's still a little work in progress :)

27th June 2013: Progress Entry #1 So far, the costume is going well ^_^ The tunic and fabric part of the boot covers are pretty much done, just a couple of adjustments to make; colour testing on the belts and buckles has gone well too :) The only issue I have at the moment is trying to dye the wool fabric the right colour, but it seems to be getting there, albeit a little slowly :)

6th June 2013: Here we go again ^_^ For my second costume, I had new ideas each day on what I wanted to do ^_^ Originally, I was planning on cosplaying Rokusho from Medabots, but after research and a bit of testing, found that I wouldn't yet be able to do it, but sometime in the future. Then I looked round and saw the Demon Diary series on my bookshelf ^_^. I had a couple of ideas in mind for cosplays other than Rokusho when I was researching, but never thought of cosplaying Erutis. I'm happy I did :)

At the moment, I'm looking at fabrics and buying swatches, as well as purchasing the fabric for the tunic. Looking forward to that arriving so I can get started :)

This is only my second attempt at making a costume, so if anybody has any tips or tricks, they would be kindly appreciated :)
