Noctis
Noctis is a character from Final Fantasy XV made by Square Enix, he was someone I was asked to cosplay ever since the first trailer because people thought I looked like him. Fun fact, I made the cosplay cause someone said I couldn't sooo there is that ahaha.
The Process
I made Noctis from thrifting and heavily altering clothing! I got the base jacket from goodwill and added ALL the details and alterations to it to make it look more accurate (you can see how it looked originally below). I believe I got the boots from ebay and I sprayed the bottoms red with some floral spray. The shirt I already had fabric painted on the skulls by hand and the wig I actually hand dyed myself cause I wanted the color to be closer than others I had seen around (compared to a new arda wig below)!
The Memories
I wore Noctis to A-Fest and I think that was it! He was always someone fun to wear and I am happy the time I had with it, I did end up selling it though! Maybe one day I will cosplay him again but I would probably buy the cosplay from a store seeing how mass produced his cosplay his now ahaha. This cosplay got passed around a few times between my friends, I believe Carl, Mica and Andrew wore it!
