One Piece Crocodile Cosplay 1

A couple of months late, but it was about time I submitted *something* to my gallery again. Behold - Sir Crocodile a.k.a. Mr. 0, one of the coolest villains in by far the coolest animated show ever, One Piece. Worn at Manifest 2007.

This is the pinnacle of my cosplay accomplishments thus far. And considering I've only made two costumes, I'd say I'm off to a decent start.

It's not the first time I'd worn it too, but when I first wore the costume it was kind of a disaster. I'll explain later if I ever submit my "comparison pic". The cloak was originally commissioned, as was the vest, but both were heavily altered for my second Crocodile-ing. The hook took about a month to make all up, though it's closer to three months if you count all the time waiting for papier maché to dry.
Since Manifest is a smoke-free event, and I wasn't about to take up smoking for the sake of a costume, the cigar was also made of paper wrapped around an old broken pencil.
Hair dye and gel, eyeliner for the scar, light facepaint crayon for slightly paler skin.

EDIT~ I forgot to mention! This pose is Mr. 0's famous Ground Sekko attack in which he turns the Alubarna castle garden into sand. If anyone wants to edit it to look like the grass is drying/dying around me and/or add sandy effects to the picture, you're more than welcome. Just let me know first.

Check out my Scraps gallery for my second picture, the comparison between the old and new versions of my costume.
