It took 84 years, but The Sights of Katsucon 2019 is finally here! I was supposed to have worked on this immediately after the con, but other things got in the way. And what better opportunity to post this on the one year anniversary of attending my first Katsucon!

The tutorial, or rather a walkthrough, is of the famous Katana held by the Legendary Guardian, Auron, from Final Fantasy X. This could be an entry in the #ThrowbackThursday series of posts, but it has not been published until today, and on a Friday. This was originally written in 2011, a year after I finished a cosplay project that was several years in the making back then, after completing the game in late 2003. Though I finished the costume literally 48 hours before MTAC in 2010 (the year which is known to many attendees as SwiMTAC), I had little time left to work on the prop beforehand. I needed at least two weeks to make it. In the end, it only took a week and a half to finish it, and two days of cutting it between letting the Liquid Nails dry between the dowel.

The struggle is real. As I write this, at 4:30 AM, I realize that I am not going to be finished with a version of a cosplay for a character…
I stumbled upon a tutorial on Tumblr not too long ago on how to make a binder, which is useful to have if you're a female and like to "crossplay"…
I had a great time at MTAC last month! It was the first time attending MTAC in two years, the last one being MTAC Omega in 2012. I plan on…
