/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

On the subject of Kamui Senketsu:

I'm thinking with this outfit it'd be nice to try to make the top half look like more like armor, esp. in the parts covering the tits. I don't think having awkwardly cut vinyl looks all that good in the cosplays I've seen. It'd take more effort in that you'd have to make a cast of your exact upper body to shape it right, but I think it'd look better and more 'armor-like' in the long run.

In the official reference images there's clearly a line that separates the chest armor from the undersuit and you can see it more easily in the back image (which I feel like most people ignore anyway). This leads me to think that the top half of the kamui is in three or so layers, the undersuit, the 'sailor collar' part that includes the bits covering the tits, and the 'wing' pieces.

Is this sound reasoning?

Sorry for the pixely image, I couldn't find a higher def image to point out what I mean.
