Project Geno
I've officially decided that my next cosplay project is going to be an amazingly forgotten character from a video game that was one of the best games of its time, nearly 15 years ago. The game: Super Mario RPG.

Rossiu's collar is kicking my ass
For my Rossiu costume, I had ~6 yards of spare fabric laying around. I tried making it and when I put the cuts in the front for the underlaying gray, it just didn't look right.
