[Trinity Blood] The Baron of Luxor

Originally I didn't wanna upload Radu onto DA because I thought it wasn't good enough as I made this not even a year after I started cosplaying, wayyy back in 2006. But if the copycats thought that it was good enough... mrf...

Version 1.0 of this cosplay was made before I even knew much about sewing, each piece of the stretchy velvet (the dark blue) was sewned onto lining before I hand sewed them together to make the base jacket, then I went wild with the gems and trims and whatnot.

Because of the inconsistent nature of the illustration, the design on Radu was basically my own take on it, the parts (such as the back and other angles of the hat) that were never shown, I took some creative license with. Also there are other parts that I failed to make accurate due to my limited sewing ability back then (the puffy part of the sleeves)... among others. THEREFORE, THIS COSPLAY IS NOT ACCURATE, so please stop copying it. Unless you like to be inaccurate, idk, it's your fetish. I just feel like I did all the work in staring at the illustration for days and weeks on end while others just took the design I worked hard on (but inaccurate) and copied it down to the trims orz

I know people would go 'You should feel honored to be copied!' but not by such unimaginative people X.x I mean, come on, if you are going to copy, at least IMPROVE on my messy design! Bind! Do some GLORIOUS make-up! Or you know... just come up with your own design, isn't cosplay about the expression of your own ideas?
