Enira banshee queen Lineage 2 cosplay process

I made this video with all the pics I took while I was making this cosplay for the Expomanga Madrid 2011 event.
Character: Enira banshee queen from the game Lineage 2. She's a raid boss.

I'm sorry I didn't took pictures of everything this costume has, this is my very first video while constructing a cosplay. I made it from scratch, made my own patterns and sewed, cut, glued and painted it, I did my best with this. My brother helped me a lot with the "bone" parts as I couldn't do it alone.
During the skit I had a lot of problems to move, the costume is very heavy and I broke the hoopkirt (it's wire) so the dress looks different before the skit and after it because of that reason.

This costume took a month and a half to make, and I didn't sleep the night before the convention to finish it on time.
This is the hardest cosplay I've ever made and it consumed myself, I was very tired during the convention and I had to take it off just after the skit, therefore, I don't have many good pictures of the whole thing. I'm planning to do a photoshoot just for this with my cosplay partner Luna selenium who was cosplaying Divine Healer from the same game.
I also made a video of the blue hanging parts on the skirt, you can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACghqGA-Uag

We won third place at Expomanga Madrid 2011, you can see our skit here: http://www.youtube.com/user/arpiainfernal#p/u/7/qmFspAs0Huo

I hope this can be useful to any of you who want to do this costume or something similar.

[VirChanPuu]

@hinatacard Es goma eva o también se llama foam, endurecida con cola y pintada con acrílicos, hay por ahí en internet un tutorial muy bueno de armaduras élficas que viene muy bien para estas cosas ^^

Espectacular, realmente espectacular. Tenía un par de preguntas >< Las planchas blancas que utilizas son forex o goma eva? Y las partes duras del cancan, ¿de qué estan hechas?

Además, he de alabar la preciosa banda sonora. Es impresionante.

@bLanCa231993 son goma eva, el cancán empecé a hacerlo con varilla de cancan pero era muy cara y no tenía dinero, así que lo reformé con alambre.

I must say, it is a good idea to make a video of your taken photos! :-)

For the upcoming cosplays, maybe I should do it as well?

Thanks for the info.
