My Zant cosplay from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was built during the spring of 2015. The costume was 100% handmade, and I made all of the patterns for both the cloth and armor aspects of the costume. A friend painted the graphics on the fabric, but I handled the rest of the planning, sewing, construction, painting, and finishing of the project. This was built while I was finishing up my art degree, which is not a combination I would recommend others try for themselves.
