Haha, no it's some kind of windchime type thing I bought for a dollar at some asian store…
-
Oh, I see it now.
I'll forever call that windchime a bra tho.
-
Nice cosplays, Bushi-kun. It sucks that Carter has to bash and flame everyone he comes across. Then, he dissapears when somone points it out.

Unless your some wild ladies man, I'll forever question your state of mind if that was a bra.
BTW if your rob made out of that fun fuzz or actual cotton… looks like fun fuz, but I think its just the pattern.

Anyway, I honestly thought it was just some guy and not an actual friend of yours, so sorry about that.

Wow, I wasn't expecting an apology from you… Usually, I take things on the internet with a grain of salt, but when the people in my actual life are belittled for things that they cannot help, it highly angers me. But since you actually have a shred of respect & decency, I accept your apology... I'm actually impressed.
-
Yaay, its looking good Bushi-kun~ And no the scruff doesn't make your face look fat…
-
I should have the robe finished later today… expect to see pics!
EDIT: I will have pics of the completed costume later on tonight... roughly 5am Central US Time... ^_\
-
Two out of three earrings completed!!! XD
now that I'm not incredibly sick, I may take some pics in the full costume today…
-
Woah, those look awesome! They don't wear like actual earrings tho, do they? They're just clip-ons right?
-
you made those? cool. you have your ears pierced for that?
glad your feeling better buddy. -
I just stayed up most of the night repainting my katana… god, I forgot how time consuming & painstaking that shizz is! My katana have been through 3 conventions, so there's considerable battle scars. Now I just have to repaint the sheath for Wadou & the swords are like brand new!
Also, the amazing pimp robe of doom is finished! Here's some pics of it, modeled by my lovely roommate Erich...

! The thing on his head was a sleeve that we fucked up… lolCompare that with the manga…
!
! -
thumbs up
Very nice. You also gonna made that head dress thing? -
ha ha.. with the head piece thing, it looks like a very strange klan member. LOL
The rob looks great Bushi!
-
the manga version doesnt strike me as beeing fuzzy to be honest, also arent the sleeves supposed to be shorter? and perhaps a bit wider? (im not saying you have done a bad job or anything. i cant cosplay for my life)
Still looks good though ^^
-

Maybe Bushi has longer arms than his roomie? Then that would work out just fine. The fuzziness of the material made me LOL'ed.
Looking good! And yeah, are you working on that orange-y head scarf thingy?
-
@Gorlom: My roommate is 5'8" & chubby… I am 6'2" & semi-slender. My arms have about a 3-4 inch reach on his. Also, try finding a zebra pattern fabric that isn't fuzzy... it's damn near impossible. Also, thanks for your real thoughts on it... ^_^
And no, I'm not going to have the orange head thing... I'm out of money and it's FREAKING JUNE IN TEXAS!!!! It's like 90-something degrees out! I'll be dying with the robe alone... also, look closely in those manga panels. Where's the orange head wrap... :shocked:
-
Damnit, Bushido, I keep telling you.
The orange headwrap is in your heart…
-
Dammit… I should have listened to you. >_<
-
Ah, the Zoro Alabasta robe. In my mind, that's got to be the most difficult to make of all One Piece cosplay pieces. And I have much respect for any cosplayer who can pull it off. So congrads to you, Bushi. That blew my mind.
-
Sweet!!! (nice work on the robe – especially the contrasting hems and edges. Your custom paint-job on the three swords rocks! -- especially the differing forges -- great attention to detail.
To be perfectly honest, I've always hated that orange head wrap, so I'm glad you're ditching it. hahah! It does however make a hot looking scarf, when draped loosely about the neck, so if you do ever give in to peer-pressure and create one, wear it THAT way instead.
Like so:

Can't wait to see the finished version where the whole outfit is put together.
Marimo power! :wub::wub::wub:
-
ooh, i like that idea.
-
mr bushido - You make a nice Zoro!!! ^___^
I agree on the head wrap. When Monty did Alabasta Zoro, all he did was make an orange scarf. With out it, it would have looked like something was missing. But yeah, he didn't bother having it as a head wrap, and at one point when we couldn't find it, we just bought orange fabric, folded it, and it looked just fine XD!
-
Hmmmmm… thought processes... gears turning...
Seta, your praise makes my day! XD
-
Ahhh the Alabasta Pimp coat, takes me back. Yeah it came out nice and I actually prefer the Fuzzy animal print as opposed to when people copy the anime where it is less of an animal print and more of a diamond print. It always looks a lot nicer with the zebra print which is what I think Oda was really going for. I am sure you will make a great Zoro and I love the earings.
-
THANK YOU, SOMEBODY HAS THE RIGHT IDEA!!!!
I was arguing with a friend of mine (she's in my cosplay group) about the fuzziness. She says that fur is a cosplay "faux pas" almost as bad as satin. I'm like "HELLO, IT'S A FUCKING ANIMAL PELT!!!!"
"But desert cloaks aren't furry & they flow freely" to which I replied "Yes, but once again, it's a ZEBRA skin, with fur attached". "But in the manga it's not furry…" DEAL WITH IT!!!
I love how it came out and am DAMN proud of it. I'm not in the know when it comes to uberleet, fashionable fabric stores... Hancock's & Joann's is all I know. This is IDENTICAL to the manga. When I make a costume, I try to make it look as close as physically possible... who cares if it's a tad fuzzy.
I APPLAUD YOU, MONTY! You get three swords up!
-
well, I would tend to think like your friend, but i haven't seen the costume in person eather. And if it looks good, it looks good. besides, your goal is not for it to be perfect, it's just to be recognised as what you are dressing up as, and having fun. So, with that point, if you want fuzzy, then go with fuzzy
-
Dude, that looks amazing Bushi-kun!
I do like that you went for the fuzzy print, I didn't think anyone would dare to use something like that for this type of costume, but you'll pull it off well!
And looking at those manga pics reminds me why I fell in love with that marimo head :wub:
-
Hell it looks better than the people who spray paint the print onto a bathrobe…yes I have seen this done.
The only suggestion I would offer and it is something I wish I had done on my coat and might still fix at some point is. You might want to think about lining the inside in black. It would look a lot nicer in pics and if you look at some of the covers where this costume is colored you can see the inside and it is black. Other than that I am sure the costume is going to look great and even without, its a small detail that I think would add a lot to you pics. I know it bugs the hell out of me when I look at my old pics.
-
That will be the new project before Anime Expo, my friend. Thanks for the tip!
-
Here's what you guys have been waiting for… A-KON PICTURES ALL UP IN YO' GRILL!!!

that Sanji in the first pic is awsome. and I laugh at that wierd look the other zoro is giving her XD
and bushi, you know what they say about big swords….....
heh heh heh. actually, that was funny too. Thank god, oda decided not to do that though.
-
Wahaha. Those are some shweet pictures. xO
-
Yessss!
:wub:Excellent work Mr. B! It all came together perfectly. I agree with Seta and madgophermm5 – without the orange scarf it wouldn't have looked quite right (even though Zoro loses the scarf just before his fight w/ Mr.1). And yeah, if you've got the time and enthusiasm to do it, you might try lining your coat in black. If you use a soft cotton for the lining, it might make your coat a little bit more comfortable so you don't overheat so quickly in it. But it looks great as it is -- lining would just be icing on the cake.
All the time you spent repainting your swords was for good cause. In these pics -- especially that last one -- they really shine, just like the lacquered sheaths of authentic katana would. Yubashiri looks especially good in that last picture (the one of you holding the enormous axe-sword-whatever it is)
Fun choreography in the pics too. Was it Neko who posed everyone? I think I remember you saying something like that in the A-kon thread ... The battle with the two Tashigis is my favorite of the posed pictures (excellent Tashigi costumes both, by the way), but the battle with the three Sanjis is a close second. And the close-up of you grabbing the shirt of one of the Sanjis is classic as well. Perfect facial expressions and body language from both of you in that one.
Hey, is that Neko there with all three Zoros?
You're not trying to get rid of her so that one of them can join the 3 Marimo(s) are you? And if you are, then I better watch my back!!!
grabs Kitetsu and looks around suspiciously
-
Gasp. Mr Bushido, turning on one of his own? Is that possible?
I smell marimoy treason.
-
!
Bushido killed Neko?
I smell treason.
And Neko is smiling before her death, like Gol D. Roger…...
-
^ lulz
Anyway nice cosplay Bushido(Sp?) also I love that third pic of Zoro and Sanji, looks so close to the original!

I took a lot of the pics, and sent them to Bushi-kun to upload… I have more, I just need to get around to posting those in the A-kon thread ^^
And I randomly yelled (since it was noisy and crowded, mind you) for them to do certain poses. I really wish there was a Mr. 1... I woulda made Bushido my little muse for a few moments and have all sorts of pics mimicking that sexy fight
But yeah, I sorta choreographed some of the pics ^^ Mainly the Zoro and Tashigi pics...

Yup, that's me ^^
Heh… they wish they could replace us T3T Though the Enis Lobby Zoro was actually pretty cool, I didn't get to know the other one... he was kinda meh anyway... HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE SWORDS WTH
-
@pirateneko:
the Enis Lobby Zoro was actually pretty cool
Yeah, that was a good costume, and I liked his Skypiea costume as well, which I think was in the A-Kon thread, not this one. He's got the right body to cosplay Zoro, and the right hair too, so that was neat – but no matter how good all the rest of that looked, one thing kept distracting me ...
Have you figured it out, too?
! His scar is backwards
-

! His scar is backwards
! YES! omg I told him too, I was like "Dude. Your scar is backwards! WTH! XD" But he said one of his friends painted it on him, and he kept telling them it was wrong and they somehow convinced him otherwise… and I also found out later that he's only seen bits and pieces of OP T3T
-
Only Bits And Pieces?!?!?! For Shame!!! >_<'
-
Imagine using Santoryu with Zabuza's sword…
-
Haha, I tried to reenact that at the con, but failed miserably.
-
your Zoro is amazing as always
-
Yes it is.
And congrads on becoming a senior member. I'd like to become one myself some day. I hear senior members get additional PM storage piece. I cannot begin to tell you how much I need that.
