Dante
Character:
Dante
Version: Game
Series: Devil May Cry 3
When Completed: Feb. 2007
Reason: Devil May Cry is one of my favorite series and I always wanted to do Dante However, I felt that I couldn't personally cosplay
him and do him justice, so after much conviencing and food bribes, I got
my very close friend to agree to wear the costume for Wondercon
07. I was super happy that he agreed, so I made him his costume free of
charge to live out my Dante cosplay fantasy.
Worn to:
Wondercon 07
Tales of Anime 07
Awards:
Centruy Guild for best display of Fantasy Art @ Wondercon
07
Best Group Costume @ Tales of Anime 07
Best use of Angel and Demon theme @ Tales of Anime 07

Construction
Notes: This was my first attempt at many many new things! First
first time making something for someone other then myself, making male
clothes, working with vinyl and resin casting. I'm surprised that I made
this whole thing (along with my Lady) in little
over a month. The coat was by far the hardest part of this costume. Trying
to sew through many layers of upholstery grade vinyl isn't easy, and in
the end the coat weighs nearly 10lbs!! Dang! The pants weren't too much
of a pain to make but the material itself is hard to work with. In the
end the pants didn't hold up after wearing them all day (they got torn
in serval places) and I will hopefully remake them. Gloves and shoes were
purchased and were altered. Guns are airsofts, painted to look like Ebony
and Ivory. Sword was made the same way as my Sophitia sword and I think
it turned out fairly well. Amulet was made with clear casting resin and
sculpty. If you are interested in getting an amulet for your Dante/Vergil
cosplay, please e-mail and we'll be able to work something out.
