You are looking at a cosplay that was eight months in the making. Eight months that were totally worth it. You are looking at cosplayer NealBomBad’s Cecil Harvey from Final Fantasy IV. You are looking at greatness.
NealBomBad created Cecil Harvey’s Dark Knight version using 3D modelling software and then printed the armour on his 3D printer. The total print time took 500 hours.
Then, the cosplayer coated, sanded, primed, painted and clearcoated the parts. NealBomBad told GameInformer, “The most difficult part was figuring out how to attach all the armour to themselves and to the body suit.”
The most difficult part for me is thinking of something to say other than “wow”.
Wow. Just. Wow.

Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 11:07 AMThe sheer volume of badassery in this suit has damaged my equipment. It’s literally off the scale. I need to recalibrate everything!

I also was wondering why he was carrying the Eye of Thundara in his sword :P
