Edward Elric

Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist!

This costume is my pride and joy! This isn't even the most recent picture of it! I made everything you can see, except the pants. The boots are heavily modified combat boots, the red jacket was made from a pattern in a Japanese cosplay magazine. The black jacket is a heavily modified woman's jacket pattern. (I had to take the darts out... so hard..) I drafted up the black t-shirt so the neck would be where I wanted it. I made the gloves so they would have the signature edge that you see in the artwork, and also so they would fit my tiny hands. The clasp is made from sculpy and attached with four hat pins, and the belt is hand made from real leather that I dyed myself. I also styled the wig myself. I'm not sure if you can really see in this picture, but I have yellow custom contact as well. The suitcase I bought on ebay for a really good price. It's an actual antique. I've reinforced it so that I can stand on it. Or sit!
