#duo maxwell cosplay

[bobo-is-tha-bomb]

Putting the finishing touches to my cosplay! 😁

[kscosplaycatalog]

No. 1 - 2004

Character: Duo Maxwell Series: Gundam Wing: Battlefield of Pacifists by Tokita Kouichi

(Featuring Duo's VA, Scott McNeil.)

=========

My first "costume" was a closet cosplay of Duo Maxwell in Gundam Wing's Battlefield of Pacifists manga. Since it was in black and white, I guessed at the colors and textures and I used my real hair, which was pretty long back then. In 2005, this one girl came up to me and actually told me how shitty this costume was... Luckily I didn't care and kept going!

Everyone has to start somewhere. Even if your first costume is an off-color/off-texture nightmare! Don't be shitty to other people though! Just let people have fun and do their thing. Especially if they aren't harming anyone!

Obviously I do not wear this costume anymore, but maybe one day I will completely redo it!

Well, it was raining yesterday, so I didn't go out for the jogwalk. I did today, though! It took me until like 10:30 but I did do it!

I was also up until nearly 1am last night...reading a fanfic. A Slayers fanfic. A 60+ chapter Slayers fanfic, currently unfinished, in the year of our lord twenty twenty-three. I have no excuses. I make it a policy to almost never read unfinished fanfics, for one. I also knew exactly what I was getting into when I saw the chapter count and just shrugged and went YOLO I guess?

Okay, so it all started with Anime Weekend Atlanta announced, less than a month out from their con by the way, a whole slew of new guest announcements. The schedule is out now and it's less than two weeks to the con so I think they're done doing that now, but I digress. They announced Veronica Taylor as a guest. Well, years ago I already had the honor of meeting her and getting her to sign my VHS copy of Pokémon The First movie, so I don't necessarily need her autograph on any more Pokémon stuff. But of course she's in plenty of other things, including Slayers, which is one of my absolute favorite media franchises, period. So naturally I have to get her to sign for Amelia! And Lisa Ortiz, the voice of Lina, will be a guest at a convention I'm going to in March, so I can get her to sign, too! Fantastic!

And then, because I haven't really thought about Slayers in a long time, my brain went I should cosplay from Slayers again. I've been wanting to for a while. I cosplayed Filia (from TRY) waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, maybe I could remake her? (I do still want to do that, FYI, talk about obscure characters though am I right?) Or despite being so tall, I've always liked Lina's character design, she'd be great. I can probably pull that off before Khromakon in March, but absolutely not before AWA. But do you know who I could pull off before AWA?

Yeah, so I actually cosplayed Xelloss all the way back in high school. I never wore him to a convention, and it was a very bad cosplay. Technically, my first cosplay. (Technically, because my actual first cosplay was a very, very very bad closet cosplay of emperor Hotohori from Fushigi Yuugi the year prior, my junior year of high school. Our high school banned Halloween costumes but a gaggle of my stupid friends and I decided to see if we could get away with just wearing regular clothes but clearly being in cosplay. So I was Hotohori, a friend braided her hair and was Duo Maxwell, etc. etc.)

Anyway, my aunt made the cloak for me, and I still have it all these years later. The rest of the cosplay would be easy, because of how skilled I am now. I can 100% do this cosplay in time for AWA, and it'll be fun! He's a pretty recognizable character from a classic anime, so while I'm sure The Kids won't recognize me, I'll get at least a few people excited to find someone else that remembers Slayers. And hey, I already cosplayed one evil purple-haired anime prettyboy this year (Okada Izou) so why not two?

So anyway, I made a deal with myself. I would go to no more than three thrift stores after work one day and see if I could find a yellow turtleneck. If I could, I would proceed with the costume. If I didn't, oh well, it's not like I don't have a closet full of cosplays to wear. And wouldn't you know it, I found the turtleneck at the third Goodwill. So I ordered a wig, and now I just need to do a few minor alterations and possibly make the staff.

And so, with Xelloss Metallium now fully on my brain, I remembered that, oh yeah, Xelloss/Filia was one of the OTPs for me back in the day. One of the very first ships I got really, really invested in. And I wondered if, in the fifteen or so years since the least time I probably looked, any good new Xel/Fil fics had been written. I mean, the last time I was really invested in the ship, Evolution-R and Revolution hadn't even come out yet! A03 didn't exist yet! What was the harm of taking just a little, tiny peak at A03, right?

And that's how I ended up binge reading a 60+ Slayers fanfiction, in the year of our Lord Of Nightmares 2023. I'm not even done reading, but I've got shit to do today!

Hi yes, Gundam Wing was formative for me, and cosplaying as Duo Maxwell earlier this year was a literal dream come true. Definitely didn't grow my hair out in college with the hopes of getting it Duo length naturally... 😬

Turns out, All I really *need* to cosplay EW Duo is hair extensions...

I own the rest of his outfit naturally.

Fresh braid for my wig! Dutch Comic Con is finally happening! 🤩🤩🤩

[roesart]

Another cosplay wip but this time of a different cosplay in the works that I have. It's a rush build to make a Duo Maxwell cosplay in time for August.

I have his cassock shirt done. I didn't know what I was doing since I couldn't get an official cassock pattern so I had to fake it til ya make it kind of thing. Includes fake turtleneck to save on layers.

Ignore the orange bloomers. Those are for Freya.

A month ago, @gundamzine was released and I’m finally sharing my photos from the zine! (I’m waaaaaay behind on sharing things!) The photos were taken by my friend, Liz, at Union Station. I can point out flaws in myself/my cosplay for days, but y’all don’t need that! To everyone who supported the zine, thank you. This project was a joy.

[bleptauros]

Costesting different makeup looks for my incomplete Duo! I am debating spiking the bangs on the wig but we will see what happens, I also like the realism of them falling naturally? Cuffs and jodhpurs to go, and then we are pretty much complete!

Also can't wait to see how @deliriumsedge will look in her Heero costume!
