Why Battle Damaged Kuja?
I'd been wanting to do a battle damaged version of a character for a while, and I thought Kuja would be the perfect chance to try it.
I used the same pattern for the Dissidia version I made in 2012, but different fabric so it sits a bit differently. The jacket, boot legs, and "underwear" are made of a polyester stretch. I need to add more dirt to that.
The sleeves and skirt are made of a stretch fabric that I bought at Value Village for $8. It worked great for what I wanted! And it didn't matter that there were dirt spots, considering what happened to my sleeves and skirt.
Armour is two layers of craft foam hot glued and duck taped to a pair of heels. The damage effects were done using my nails, a pair of scissors, and sticks.
I just re-used my wig from the year before, and my golden shirt. I plan to make a new one for Dissidia, so I don't mind giving this shirt to battle damaged.
New feather - as I didn't want to shred the old.
