RM.EXE/MMNT Warrior Cosplay How-To - Lan's Headband (UPDATE)

Saito Volnutt

I guess I've stated it some few several times that I had been working on cosplays from the Battle Network universe, and recently I've gotten back onto working on Lan, Chaud, and Higsby. (Yay, all crossplays~ XD)

Now, for a while I had considered Lan's headband done simply by making a cardboard version of the Hikari clan symbol and sliding it onto the base headband. OH, how that would've looked stupid. XD (I still have the cardboard symbol as a usable hair slide. :3)

So, after putting it off and off and EVEN MORE off, I finally got around to actually doing Lan's headband properly. And, like with a previous cosplay piece I had done for a Legends cosplay, I decided to make a tutorial about it, just in case there ended up being an influx of Battle Network/EXE cosplayers.

Once I finished taking pictures for the tutorial I posted it on >>THIS SITE<<, and it comes complete with ref image, time it should take to make it, materials needed, and a pic of me wearing it. :# (Yeah, my sewing skills aren't that grand since it was all by hand, but dangit, it holds together. X3)

So finally, I posted it here for everyone to see. Any comments? :3

UPDATED 11/05/11: I MADE THE WHOLE THING FOR HALLOWEEN. *see recent post*

Oh yeah. I think I saw this before. It's good work.

Yeah, my hand-sewing skills still need so work, but to be honest, I think I can fit in a semi-decent Lan cosplay on Wednesday since I won't really be at school. XD Hence, I shall get pics somehow!

(*just realized her logic doesn't fit together right with that info* Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. XD)

Ha. Well, the pictures should look nice.

Make that one picture, and one page summing up my feelings for it:

Fun fact: I nearly called myself 11-years-old in this. XD Daaaaaaaaaaang.

EDIT: Also, apparently this year's Halloween was my one-year anniversary of being on here. How fitting that I decided to cosplay as Lan on it. XD

Ha. That's fitting. But it is nice work. Bindings?

Saito Volnutt · Posted: Sat Nov 05, 2011 1:49 pm Post subject:

Bindings = Chest-bindings

Female crossplayers usually have to use chest-binding to get a flat-chested look for most male characters/flat-chested girls. Same with crossdressers.

Noting I really didn't use the general way of binding, it was still noticeable that I was a girl. XD

Oh... I thought it had something to do with your OOPArts. And I swear I'm not thinking up jokes for later.

Saito Volnutt · Posted: Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:21 pm Post subject:

It actually kinda does, in all honesty. They're the reason why I dread crossplaying to some degree. (I know my OOPArts are joke-worthy; I've ended up joking about them on my other cosplay pages. XD)

And thus, much fun is to be had. By me. I'm surprised someone remembered that joke. Star Force has been over for years.

Saito Volnutt · Posted: Mon Nov 07, 2011 9:45 pm Post subject:

Well dang, I'm surprised you haven't asked about what size they are. (I only recently found out about the joke. I didn't catch on at first, but I got it the second time around. XP)

Doing that joke here would be inappropriate. I'm just waiting for for an opportunity elsewhere.

Saito Volnutt · Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2011 11:20 pm Post subject:

Then I guess I can expect to see it on Yahoo or Twitter. XD

Exactly where I was planning on for it.

I thought so. I look forward to it.
