This costume is much more simple than my previous costumes. Mostly because, well, I just made a baneling costume for Blizzcon and now I only have a few days to finish this before the Oct 26th deadline. I'm rather in a rush (yet again), so you'll have to excuse how brief this is thus far.
Anyway, my second most played character in League of Legends (after Nidalee, of course) is Talon! I'm particularly fond of his Renegade skin, so I decided that will be my costume!
First, after researching, I sketched out a quick concept (yes, it looks pretty much like the male version):
![[image loading]](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-sjgksPJmpsA/TpSmGwAzhlI/AAAAAAAABh4/Xd8qpc94C1g/s720/2011-10-11%2B13.22.54.jpg)
Then I went to Value Village in search for a purple sweatshirt, then the fabric store to get some trim and material for the cloak.
I laid them out and they looked fairly close to Talon's actual colors:

I sewed them on and some trim for the bottom:

I also added a HUGE zipper. Couldn't find a silver one, so I went with black.
I cut out his cloak bits in foam and trimmed the blue fabric. I also made black casings for the blades and the little black bit for his upper cloak blades:

I tried on the jacket with my bandanna and it looks pretty good!

Now I just have to cut the blades and armor and paint them and the cloak.
@.@
Should really only take 3-8 hours, but idk when I'm going to have the time. SO MUCH HW, GAHH...
>.>
I'm supposed to have Cho'Gath as my third character (I'm solo top on my team), but I really don't think I could pull off that costume.
~*UPDATE*~
So with a little bit of spray paint...

...and some foam cutting and gluing...

...I FINISHED!

Always a pleasure to read your blogs! I really like all the costumes you are able to make, it always makes me want to make one too! (especially with Halloween coming up)

There are too many bumps?
@.@
I'm not even sure how I'd approach that. Maybe a ton of upholstry foam? I could do the uber fancy expanding foam and carving, but that would be really expensive. Plus, I don't want to try to make those arms sturdy, they would be soooo heavy, which means I'd need to wear a vest and then I'd have to plan the rest of my costume around that!
|
Why not just get a tophat, monocle, and tuxedo, and say you are gentlemen chogath?
|
I have to ask, what do you do with all your old costumes? Do you ever wear them again?
For some reason I can't help but think that this is what you actually do with them.

Ooo... I should do that. I have a delightful top hat I... acquired from an ex.

Hahaha, something like that.
I wear most of them when the opportunity presents itself. Like I wore my Haruko outfit to the AFK Tavern's super hero night (it's a bit of a stretch, but it worked). I wear my Aries costume to music festivals/raves often. I've worn my Faris (FFV) costume to multiple conventions. And I plan on wearing my Nidalee costume for Halloween!

EPIC! I made an Amumu costume as I'm a tanker. (almost prom king skin remake) I ended up ditching the sash as it just seemed weird but the rest turned out well.
I wish I had the confidence to post pictures as well.
|
Awesome costume as always!
I would like to request a guide on how to make costumes.

Can you link me that?
Also, I wish more people would think he's terrible, it annoys me when he gets banned in ranked.
However, I've also found the best way to get out of ELO hell for me is to play Taric... he's such an OP mofo.
Don't think I'll be doing a Taric costume, though.

I like how your costume comes complete with a Maxi-pad.

OMG, Rekrul, you just made me die laughing. XD
Cool costume, though. :p

Well he is at least a little feminine....

With a pre-soaked blood stain to boot.

So what type of women does it for you Susie? I always had you pegged as liking the more curvaceous/busty type.

Pretty much. If you cover up the left side and just look at the reply-to-views ratio in the blog section, you can pretty much tell which ones are Riku posts.

Looks great, and the costume looks good too.

do we need to have a LoL account to vote?

Why wouldn't they allow your nid outfit?

Alright, thank you Rekrul. I was worried I was the only one who thought this the second I saw that picture.
Dang you can always count on Rek.

That's the whole point of her blogs/costumes in general.
Some people love cosplay, others like eyes and cameras pointed at them (whether it be because they expose a lot of skin or because their costume is actually good).

Am I the only one that looks at every one of Riku's costume blogs just to see her stomach?

Nice costume! Too bad he got nerfed.
A Cho'Gath costume would be extremely difficult, but extremely awesome.

Yes, though, if you are really motivated to vote for me, signing up for one takes about 30 seconds.

It was "previously seen at an event." They only allowed new costumes.

Yeah, I feel those nerfs...
I'll consider doing Cho, though I was thinking Redeemed Riven next.

That is the Riven skin with the green hood, right?

Redeemed Riven would be pretty awesome. Also, as always, nice work. :>

I wish I had the motivation to do something like this, but alas i'm a lazy bastard.
