I was going to save this for after Anime Overload on Saturday, but I just could not resist sharing!
We did a test run of Gareth’s Eridan Ampora costume and it came out perfectly. Really, it’s much better than I could have dreamed and he is SO very happy! I can’t wait to see him in character on Saturday among other Homestuck fans!
We didn’t glue the ears on (saving that for Saturday!), but they stayed on pretty well by themselves. Gareth did most of the makeup himself.

Very handsome! Kids get into this stuff don’t they? My sons name is Gareth, born in England and named after Gareth Edwards who was a famous Rugby player. He was supposed to be a girl so it was a last minute choice.
My whole family is a little bit geeky about this kind of thing, it’s something fun we do together!
My Gareth is named after Sir Gareth, Knight of the Round Table. We’ve only met one other Gareth, and his dad is from England. It’s a quite unusual name in Texas!
cool!
Thanks!
My daughter really likes Anime I will have to show her the costume you made for your son. It looks great!
Thanks! He’s really excited to wear it to the event tomorrow!
Outstanding! Excellent costume! I’ve been following along so I know how much work this took! Kudos for Super Mom!
Thank you! It was a fun project, especially since he was so involved. We’ll call him Project Coordinator! 😀
PS ~ for those who haven’t been following ~ check out the EARS!
Jennifer may need to take a close up pic of those little masterpieces!
I promise I will, once they’re stuck on with spirit gum!
Jennifer, you are amazing!
Thank you! This kind of thing is always so much fun for me!
Oh you made the costume? Wow! It was really really awesome. I saw him there. uvu He was a brilliant Eridan!! Tell him the grimdark!rose says hi. :)) Also there’s a couple of pictures of him up on Tumblr, tagged under anime overload.
Yep, I did, though he and his sister (she was Kagome) helped a lot, too. He remembers you and says hi!
