Final Fantasy X: Kimahri Ronso

My third fursuit costume, and the most darn intricate thing I have ever made! Started in August 2006, first phase of construction finished in late January 2007, just in time for Anime Los Angeles 7. All in all, about six months.

I worked really hard on him (everything is hand-done on this outfit [with the exception of the sewing of the tribal flap, which has handpainted geometric designs], the jaw moves, there is sharpie detailing on the face, those are my first-ever wings... First time for a lot of things on this outfit!).

If you're curious, and/or would like to know what exactly the Costume-Con 26 Persistence of Stitchery Award from ALA07 is, it's what the masq directors [chairs of CC-26] gave out to the masquerade costumer they thought was the "fresh face" they would like to see attend CC-26 in 2008. Nonetheless to say, I was really shocked *blinks* o_o; And nonetheless to say, incredibly honored.

But yes, that's "Blankie" (his code name during construction).

I need to add a few little things, but I am definitely proud of it.
