{{attachment:dehr-eliza.jpg|Eliza Cassan|align="right"}} = Eliza Cassan - Deus Ex: Human Revolution = I absolutely loved playing DXHR and Eliza was a standout character. Really all of them are, but Eliza is just stunning. Maybe I'll have this ready in time for Supanova 2013. <> == Why? == * Beautiful, rich and famous, Eliza Cassan is the star news anchor for Picus TV, and a global celebrity * She's with the pro-augmentation/transhumanism faction, so she gets snazzy cyber-renaissance outfits * Who are we kidding, it's sexy as all hell * She's obviously very feminine, but her appearance is a bit androgynous, which works for me == References == There was a book of official design materials released. * Attached to this thread: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/22645864/ Eidos official discussion, really cool! * http://community.eidosmontreal.com/blogs/Designing-Women * http://cdn.eidosinteractive.com/mtl/marketing/Community/Cosplay/Eliza_1 * This shows off some really important fine details that help make the costume understandable * http://cdn.eidosinteractive.com/mtl/marketing/Community/Cosplay/Eliza_2 General description, other images, etc: * http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Eliza_Cassan * http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-19/dehr-eliza.html * http://www.creativeuncut.com/art_deus-ex-human-revolution_c.html * http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-19/dehr-eliza-cassan.html * http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-19/dehr-malik-and-helicopter.html There's a cosplayer who's done it, and there's a good number of photos, yay: * A howto writeup, this will go a loooong way to help get it done * http://prukoginojutsu.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/eliza-cassan-deus-ex-human-revolution.html * http://prukoginojutsu.blogspot.com.au/2011/09/eliza-cassan-deus-ex-human-revolution_14.html * http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/046/4/f/eliza_cassan_vi_by_nebulaluben-d4pum90.jpg * http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lrmbfj6wAp1qer56zo1_500.jpg * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPBBTH6_Sy4 * http://nebulaluben.deviantart.com/art/It-s-not-the-end-of-the-world-258645379 * http://nebulaluben.deviantart.com/art/Eliza-259165286 * http://nebulaluben.deviantart.com/art/Eliza-Cassan-IV-285283300 * http://www.desura.com/groups/deus-ex-fan-group/images/eliza-cassan1 == Components == * Boots * Outer leggings of a sort * Leggings * Dress * Choker * Coat * Scarf thing * Pink/purple nails * Hair adornment thing at the front with beads(?) * Black rose hair adornment thing * Green contacts * Etc... == Making == === Boots === Wittner might have something suitable, they're ankle-height tall stiletto-heeled boots with a platform. In the current line up: * [[http://www.wittner.com.au/shoes/boots/hire-black-leather.html| Hire]] * [[http://www.wittner.com.au/shoes/boots/action-black.html| Action]] Neither are cheap, but they're options. === Outer leggings === Looks like black denim or some sort of heavy, textured cotton. All wrappy and stuff. Go looking for material. === Leggings === Dark brown colour with a baroque patterning on them. Look around online. Something like this: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=6125501148 === Dress === Short black one-piece with patterned panels. * Pattern panels are darker than the tights, also baroque pattern, slightly smaller scale * Some sheen on the material, could be thin like a satin chemise or thicker like spandex. Should be a bit stretchy * Plunging rounded-V neckline, with lacey frilly bits over the boobs * Unclear how the sides, back or shoulders look * Appears to be slit up the sides, not sure how high === Choker === Probably black satin, about 4cm high, lacey frill on upper edge. === Coat === Complex as fuck. * All black shell * Very high ruff collar/lapel thing * Purple inside the collar, concertina'd * Thinking a mix of pleather for most of it, with some satin for the more detailed bits === Scarf thing === Little detail, dark, baroque pattern. Hangs over neck like a towel. === Pink/purple nails === As described. Same colour as inside of collar. === Hair adornment thing at the front with beads(?) === Probably want to clip it into the hair, will have to look around. DIY? Maybe visit the bead/stone shop in the rocks. === Black rose hair adornment thing === Shiny satin or something, probably simple enough to make a long strip and make a crinkly spiral shape. Glue into place so it holds shape, attach to hairclip. === Green contacts === As described.
