Cosplay

Description

I cosplayed as Matt from volume 1 and had a volume 2 costume in progress. I felt obligated to go 3 for 3 and have one of Matt's outfits from each volume. 99% of people won't recognize it as a costume (so I don't get recognized much) Also, the letters are spaced apart a bit too much...but people aren't likely to notice unless they compare it side-by-side to the manga.

Construction Notes

After complaining to Svetlana that she was going crazy with the zippers and belts on Matt's outfits, she assured me that his outfit in volume 3 of Dramacon would be much easier for me to cosplay. When I bought volume 3, I found out what she meant...he wore T-shirts. He's only in costume for a couple pages and there's never a clear view of that costume. Since I had already done volumes 1 and 2, I had to complete the trilogy and made my own shirt from volume 3. Matt also wears a shirt that says, "Your village called. Their cosplayer is missing." I preferred this one. I masked out each of the letters on a black shirt and sprayed on white fabric paint. It took two coats.
