She walked down the aisle at our wedding to an orchestral version of "Eyes On Me" (the iconic song from the game). Growing up she played and replayed FF8 countless times and calls it her one of her favorite games and her favorite Final Fantasy game. Story Time: To add a little background to this project, my wife is a huge Final Fantasy Fan. For some reason it was difficult to find a shot showing the right side of the helmet, so I took some artistic liberties but tried to follow the original design as closely as possible. I watched, re-watched, and re-re-watched cut-scenes on YouTube, taking screenshots to get different angles of Edea's helmet. Fortunately for us, Square Enix rendered cut-scenes to give us more details to work with. I usually use a mix of google images and Pinterest to get a good variety of image sources to fill a folder called "References."įinal Fantasy VIII (for my sanity I'm going to write it out as FF8 going forward) was originally released in 1999 for the OG PlayStation.

If you've read any of my previous Instructables, you saw this step coming. Special shout-out to Charlie ( o2.supply) for taking awesome photos of the finished product and also to red wine for helping me solve some changing problems. Shout out to my wife Katie aka Dockter Cosplay for making an amazing dress, helping with various parts of the helmet and for overall being a wonderful human being. Also remember it's healthy to take breaks and sometimes walk away from it for a few days, or a month.or longer. Have fun, take your time, read chemical warning labels, and use proper personal protective equipment. Hopefully I can help you learn from my mistakes.

I am mostly self-taught and have learned these techniques over years of trial and error or from tips from others. In the following steps I will highlight some of the methods used to work with these materials and some to avoid. This cosplay is an elaborate one and was crafted using a mix of EVA foam, Worbla, 3D printed parts, acrylic rods, tears, and more.

We finished it the night before leaving for AMKE 2020. To give you an idea of how smoothly the process went, we originally started it with the intent of having it done for AMKE (Anime Milwaukee) 2019. She refers to this as a "passion project" and a "dream cosplay" of hers, so there was absolutely no pressure going into it. For my third Instructable I'm going to be doing a write up of the process my wife and I went through to make a Sorceress Edea Kramer cosplay from Final Fantasy VIII (8).
