Aaaand another Dave Strider cosplay picture.
And the dream version again, yup.
Sadly we did not find a purple gate to fit Derse so the title is a lie and I'm more knock-knock-knocking on Prospit's door.

(The sword does not look as shitty anymore, sweatshirt's collar ain't that off anymore and I will hopefully wear it again some day!)

The wig was styled by :iconmaryru: <3
Picture was taken by the awesome Trish!

I love the wig you have here for Dave although I feel as if that it needs to have more gel at the back. Your expression is great, a poker-face like a true Strider.

Your shades I feel that it needs to be more on the darker side though but since you are getting the feel that you are in "Derse" then I guess it's okay.

Your broken sword is generally good but I think it needs to be bigger and the details on the handle needs to be more prominent (although maybe its the lighting's fault why it's not.) I'm not sure if you have this in your country but rubber sheets would be good material to use your sword with.

I love the materials you used for the costume. Velvet tends to be really shiny but here it just works perfectly. I can really tell this velvet isn't the cheap kind. I'm having a bit of an issue though with what you used as the Crescent moon. Perhaps something less floppier?

For the camera angling, I can't really say much as I'm not a professional when it comes to photography. But I think this shot would have been more dynamic if it was shot from the ground level to see your whole body. It would give a much more "Dream-like" effect.

All in all, I think this is a very good cosplay of the Derse Dreamer Dave. I rarely see good cosplays of that outfit.
What do you think?

Very nice crafting of this outfit, my friend :3 I really like how you used a.... very... crap whats the word... fuzzy? Vinyl? (am I even awake enough yet to even remember what that is? lol) anyways I like how you used a very soft, shiny , fuzzy fabric for the sleeves and pants in a combo with the really shiny, thin looking chest part of the shirt. It really looks like they are pajamas and that is pretty awesome :3

Great work! :3

Hi aby

When one protects others that may hate them, or one is able to show emotion other than hate, then one already has become human, regardless of their biology. True humanity is in the heart, not the blood.

I stalk through the night, completely unheard.
I know your distress, I know you're alone.
I follow you home, and put you to sleep.
You wake up and see, I've stolen your feet.
