First worn: Ani-Magic 2002
Soul Calibur was a really great game! I liked the first one better than any of its successors. It looked really good for a 3D game and had very nice character designs. Seung Mina is cute, has a naginata, and is associated with Hwang, who is my other favorite character… but the design involved multiple colors of brocade which were a pain to hunt down. It was very rewarding seeing it all come together though, after all the searching. The naginata was fun to build (again using wood, illustration board, styrofoam, and paper clay). I never did finish all the details though… there are patterns everywhere on this costume!
