This costume debuted at Hypericon 2008. It won best in show in their Masquerade.
Inspired by the game, (which I only played for a couple of days before I got very bored of the repetition of climb on the roof, jump, kill someone... but that's another story), we didn't get into much of the detail of the weapons, but focused just on the basic components.
Basic Costume:
These are the components that Laura made for me. Hood and over tunic are made of linen, and the sash is made of a red linen to match. It has a good feel to it, it drapes right and has enough weight to not look cheap, but still is not stiff so it flows correctly.

Our Deluxe version, which includes the waist belt and the shoulder harness.

My full version, with leather bracers. All leatherwork was made by me.
|

The bracers are a base leather, and for the decorative left bracer I used foam and painted it with acrylic.

The leather glove was actually a work glove that I redyed and sewed to make it fit a little tighter. |
One of the problems making a costume from a video game is that real fabric moves so much differently than the stuff in the games.
