The Best Goddamn Cosplay Ever

Throbbing Mob · 03-15-2009, 10:52 PM

Not even kidding.

The cosplayer is a Brazilian girl who goes by the nickname Yuki. Metroid Database did an interview with her. Apparently she's done quite well for herself in the cosplay community, and travelled as far as Tokyo because of her talent.

There are more pics up at Metroid Database and her Devart site.

Interview at MD is here:

The Metroid Database :: Welcome!

And here's her personal Deviant Art site:

This is the most interesting excerpt from the interview, IMO:

Quote:

MDb: Please describe the process and materials involved in the creation of the Varia Suit.
I used various materials and processes. The arms, hand, legs and body were made with sheets of EVA(editor's note: ethylene vinyl acetate). My friend Lucas and I shaped it by hand, using EVA in 3 different thicknesses. The Hand Blaster was all done by me, also in EVA. All finishes and details in low relief, I did with the Dremel. The helmet and shoulders were made in fiber glass by me and my dad. It was modeled using a motorcycle helmet and two polystyrene balls as bases. The details were carved in polystyrene and polyurethane. The painting was done with automotive paint. Electric part was done with 73 high bright LEDs: 30 green LEDs in the shoulders, 26 green LEDs on the Body and 17 red and orange LEDs on Hand Blaster, powered by 8 AA Batteries and a 3v one. We also used neon green acrylic on the suit and neon orange acrylic on the Hand Blaster.

Awesome.

Reminds me of how, some day, I wish to work on developing powered armor. You know, as a computer scientist. Design me some real world Metal Men!

Stanley the Bugman · 03-16-2009, 04:52 PM

Wow, that's pretty rediculous.

She can use my balls as her bases.

I like it when cosplayers play characters which fit their body type.

I love it when cosplayers' body type is "hot".

ZeldaGirl · 06-10-2009, 10:10 PM

Funnily enough, she was just featured in the most recent NintendoPower. For being awesome.

You do realise the process involves boiling-hot lacquer and carving knives, right?

Throbbing Mob · 06-11-2009, 07:16 AM

We're talking about Kev, here, and he loves being a brit. You can't tell me that's not at least a little bit masochistic.

t3hDarkness · 06-11-2009, 01:19 PM

I'm pretty sure we haven't mentioned Kev here at all, actually.

Why is it that people from Brazil are all mind-blowingly awesome?
