Character: Hao Asukura
Anime: Shaman King

Introduction: I've only seen 14 episodes of Shaman King so far, yet, even though he hasn't made his appearance yet, Hao is my favorite character. Why? His voice actress is Minami Takayama, the same VA of Dilandau. When my friend stated sending me a bunch of pictures of him, I became very tempted to make the costume. It will cost a bundle and will take a lot of work, but GOD I love it! I'll get to be extra crafty with this costume. I'll probably end up spending more time on the craft stuff than the actual sewing. The sewing is easy, but the crafting won't, which will make this costume interesting!

Plans: Chances of making this costume? Mighty high! I perfer to crosscosplay rahter than just cosplay, and Hao is too cool to pass up! The costume itself won't cost too much, but I'm afraid of how much that long brown wig will cost me! $50? Probably. Ouch. Also, I'll have to take on a bundle of fabric painting on all the straps on the pants... Bah. This costume won't be nearly As 3D as shown in the series and in fanarts, that's just impossible. The circles (that make everything look like lego) will take the form of buttons. Whee! XD And like I said before, sewing the costume won't take nearly as much time as all the crafty work I'll be tackling. The straps, belt, gloves, shoes, earrings, etc. It'll all demand a lot of time and work, but I'm willing to give it just that! Bwaa!
