Dragon Ball Z - Female Saiyan Armour

Hey guys,

I thought I would share with you my Saiyan armour cosplay that I made for a floor costume for one of my local conventions. This was inspired by Vegeta’s armour, I’m calling it Vegeta inspired armour because well he is a male and I have made it to fit a female without trying to take away from the design too much. I made this based on the fact I love Dragonball Z and have watched it since when I was in school. As I built this to be a fun costume to wear and not for competition I had to keep reminding myself to get to caught up on any mistakes and making it perfect at the expense of time.

Anyway here are a few progress pics I have taken off my cosplay facebook page as I thought people on here might like to see J

Everything here was created by hand with my own hand drawn templates, made and worn by myself.

I’d like to thank the photographers that took the convention photos, muchly appreciated seeing these and the result of my work.




Hand drawn on paper and taped onto my mannequin..

Started using my base materials (3mm foam, impact foam, wonderflex)

Nice work !
With all these animes popping up everywhere with super-complex plots and philosophical excesses, good ol' Dragonball isn't famous anymore it seems.

Very nice paintjob on the armor, looks like right out of the series. I never liked Vegeta's first suit because of the long shoulder pieces but with the alterations you've made it kinda fits the overall look. Well done

Yea I've only watched a handful of different animes I have to admit! Love Dragonball, it just sucks you in so much even though you know what will happen haha.

Thanks very much for the comments, yea I noticed he didn't wear it too much, I did like the other standard chestpiece he wears but I figured that would be less fun than this one, thank you!



Great work! nice to see another Ozzy on here

Thanks! I originally come from Tas too, Launie area though.


Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

Thank you!
 
You really know how to rock that armor. Nice! I think your hair in the first pic (precolored) is a perfect fit with the armor.
 
Very awesome.
my favorite thing about this are the detail lines you added to the armor that make it like you jumped out of the cartoon :)

Thanks so much!
It's always nice when people pick up on little things that help make the costume. I really wanted to keep the cartoon vibe alive in this costume rather than trying to make it a serious "real life" costume :)



Very awesome! Hope you grabbed tickets for the Battle of the Gods showing this week!

Thank you! Mm I did not, perhaps it is not in my state?


So freaken cool :)

Thank you :)
