HDC Cosplay used some magic and turned himself into Final Fantasy’s Black Mage. With pieces like the hat, the cloak, leather accessories, and the staff, the costume required a variety of skills to tackle. HDC Cosplay built it all from the ground up and started with a sketch (pictured below). He had to do things like make the wire frame for the hat, sculpt the hat, stamp and paint leather, and more. HDC Cosplay used LEDs to make the Black Mage’s eyes glow, as well as the crystals on the character’s staff.
You can browse a couple hundred photos showing the construction process for the Black Mage costume at Facebook.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
