I am going to be Odion Ishtar, a character from the Yu-gi-oh series. He's the adopted brother of the main "villain" of the series (those who has watched it know why I italicized villain), and sort of his servant. Those of you who wish to know more about him can look him up.
Anyways, part of the reasons I chose this was because of a suggestion from my cousin (yes, Rine). She's obsessed with Marik, Odion's brother, and wanted me to try this out. When Mike was asked about the price, I was surprised to hear that it would only cost about 50-75 for material costs. I have seen costume prices for most outfits...that's INCREDIBLY cheap. So upon looking into his character further, I thought it would be interesting, so now I am going to be Odion Ishtar.
Now, I am going to say that with this costume, I plan on going almost completely all out...meaning yes, if everything happens as I hope it will, I WILL be bald for a time. The darker skin is something I will attempt, but can't promise. The words on the face should be easy with a little help, and Mike tells me he can get me a ponytail somehow...I'm excited about this personally.
Also, there's something I want to do. As some of you know, and I just mentioned this earlier, my friend Mike is making this costume (with the help of a buddy, I believe). And believe me, he's good.
Anyways, the reason I am mentioning this is that he wants to start a business doing costumes. He needs the money, and I believe he is perfectly capable of running his own business. The only issue is that while he has done some of his own costumes, he hasn't exactly made a ton for other people yet...in other words, he doesn't have much to show off yet. That's where I would like to ask help from you guys. If you're interested in getting a costume, make sure to come to me, and I'll hook him up with you.
Well, that's all for now. I'm ALMOST caught up on Spanish now, so by next week I should be back on like normal. I hope you guys have a great day!
