Alex Rowe

Costume: Alex Rowe - #1
Category: Anime - Last Exile
Commission Info: Personal - Made for my friend Jeremy
Details: 2005 - Jeremy wanted a costume and he liked Last Exile. I also liked Last Exile and once wanted to make this costume anyways. This was my first time making a costume for someone other than myself and so Jeremy only had to pay me for the materials. It was also my first experience with making a men's sized costume. Sadly the costume didn't come out that well, in my opinion. ^^;;
Notes:: Jeremy wore this costume for Katsucon 2005, where Range Murata (character designer for Last Exile) was one of the guests. On his way to Murata's panel, Jeremy got into the elevator and heard from behind "...Alex Rowe?" and turning around, lo and behold there was Range Murata who then asked his wife to take a photo of him with Jeremy. This made both Jeremy and me pretty damn happy. XD Alas Jeremy himself did not have a camera on him to be able to document this but we will never forget!

Pictures (all taken by me):


Alex's cape closed in order to see the pattern on both sides Full frontal view of the costume One of Alex's few poses (and Jeremy's favorite), the Pointing His other pose, the Fisting...er...that sounds just wrong
The designs on the collar and sleeves that took me forever to make You can see one of the sleeves better in this picture Side-view of costume, aka Alex-looking-at-distance pose The Pointage again but with full cape action!
