Riku - Data Surfer

Wow, surprise! Space Paranoids Riku!
There's just one pic of this costume here on DA ( [link] ) and I always wanted to show you more, but I just had one little shooting with it and I never had the right location. And there's no good pic without a good location. As you might imagine, it's terribly hard to find an at least decent background for the Tron world.

The pattern on the front appears to be broken. That's due to a rising chest part which you can't see here.

The costume was hell to make. I had help from *Evil-Uke-Sora, but most of her and my Tron costumes were my doing. The blue parts glow in the dark and there are lights in the rear parts of the helmet. We made the outfits in spring 2006, when almost no one already knew KHII and Sora's forms. So it's no wonder that not many people recognized it at a convention we wore it for XD That surely may be different now. I hope I can present you a shooting in a not-so-far future, it was just too much work to rot in the closet.

*Evil-Uke-Sora is recovering slowly, but she's awfully in pain and I'm sure it will take a while until she's fully herself again. I was looking forward to my birthday a lot, but now I don't think it will be half as cool as it could be, but sometimes life has to fuck you, it seems.
My nerves have come down to nothing somewhere between yesterday and this morning, the last weeks were just too much. I don't have any more strength left, I just feel like shit, but university doesn't wait, a new musical has to be done, I'm awfully stressed by some personal things, I'm still trying to get a traineeship and I have to take care of my dear, she's more important now. Her parents are here, too, and I don't have a lot time for myself. I really need something good now, I really do. There was not a single easy thing since the accident. At the moment, I'm feeling like an empty bottle, but I have to go on with things.
It sucks. I had to get that out of my system.
