Hey all!
About to start building a cosplay based on Jack's appearance in ME3, a character (and design) I absolutely love. Due to my inherent male-ness, I'll be genderbending her and, hopefully, achieving something like a mix of Subject Zero and Vaas from Far Cry 3. I've got about 3 months to work on this project between work and school before the first con of the season, which should be a decent amount of time. If you aren't familiar with Jack, here's a couple quick reference pics:
The biggest changes will be in the top and the pants: the strapping will be replaced with a "wife-beater" tank (potentially cropped to just above the navel to keep with Jack's sex appeal?) and the pants will be missing the large, skin-showing gaps at her hip. Because of the slightly increased coverage, the tattoos should be much more manageable as well. Also notable is that my butt is not nearly so nice as hers.
First on the docket will be the jacket, which it looks like I'll be scratch-building. As this is only my third big cosplay and I've never worked in leather before, I'll probably stick with faux leather or the cheaper acrylic-paints-on-heavy-cotton tactic. Not sure if the arm detailing above and below the elbow is just a striped fabric or a "bunched" leather. Any advice would be more than welcome!
