Kratos Aurion cosplay - Tales of Symphonia

For Acen this year, not only did I make myself a cosplay, but I also put one together for my friend Jake.  He was Kratos Aurion from Tales of Symphonia.  The costume (shirt, cape pants, belts) was purchased online, but I made some modifications to it as well as making all of the accessories and styling the wig.

I modified all the yellow accents by adding gold fabric paint and red rhinestones to look more like the artwork.

The wig was first dyed with ink to give it a darker red color.  Then I cut and styled the wig with hairspray and fabric glue.

I made both the sword and shield using EVA foam, a dremel, and spray paint.  This was my first time crafting any sort of weapon so I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.
