Glow in the dark NiGHTS!

The purple parts of the costume were made out of fabric liner. To the unaware, it's not real fabric; liner is much more sheer and hard to work with. But, it was cheap, came it the right colour, and had a "silky" look, so I braved the easily shredded fabric and made the costume. The vest has a pink fabric with little flecks of red glitter, so the whole outfit is very sparkly and fun. The cuffs and buttons were made out of craft foam, and the neck piece is foam cut in an "O" shape witha little slit to make it bend around my neck.
The hat was a nightmare to make, pun not intended. The horns were made using actual Sega art of the side of NiGHTS' head as a pattern, and the loops are a dark purple ribbon. It was too heavy, no matter what i tried, so There's a cap that I'm wearing, and on top of that is another cap with the horns. When it falls back, the neck piece hold it in position, and the two caps blend together. Happy accidents can be wonderful.
The check gem was made of translucent red plactic, lined with tin foil, and made to light up. The wire ran down my sleeve and into my hand, where I had a little red button that turns it on and off. It was the hit of the night, and makes a much more entertaining flashlight.
Surprisingly, the giant purple pants survived a night of trick-or-treating. The liner was a bit frayed, but not overly so.
(Ignore the weird face. I look like a deformed baby. )
A detail shot of the back. To bad it's hard to see the glitter in the fabric.
NiGHTS on fire, or "fun with shutter speed"!
NiGHTS rocks. Get it?
I hope you've enjoyed looking at my costume as much as I did making and, more importantly, wearing it. There's nothing more fun the pretending to be NiGHTS, even for one night.
Pleasant dreams!

NiGHTS IS AN ALIEN.
Thank you! It was a case "let's go in this random store and look for a mask! And lo and behold, there it was. In fact, I think that clay gem has glitter too. Shiny NiGHTS is shiny....Me too. >.> XD Very, very nice work however! I am <3ing that mask.
Thank you!Classy stuffs!
I'm glad you like it! I was litterally finishing it as I walked out the door, so no one saw the final product until Halloween night. After ducking to get into a room with the giant hat, my friends all just stared for a while. Recations are the best part of costume making.You're not the only one... X_x
Anyway, the whole cosplay is just awesome! And I love how you went and made the red gem light up!
We'll all use NiGHTS as a lamp. xDI didn't picture a green glow, but I thought of him just glowing in his normal colors. Awesome job, Noctourne. And yes, I love the glowing crystal job you did there. *O_O* It's shiny~ That's the first time I've ever seen that in a NiGHTS costume. It should be done more often.
It would be nest if, in a NiGHTS game, the gem glowed in dark areas. It could be like the lamp in Twilight Princess...
Thanks, Dexmatic.woah noxatrocious, you really got a good costume going on here!
Fun Fact: The mask covers the point of the hat, which was actually stuck to my head with a glue dot. Gravity can be pretty annoying, sometimes.

I tried using regular stuffing, but the thing weighed a ton (go figure. ), so I just lightly balled up some newspaper and put it in.You're very much welcome~! It's stuffed with newspaper and cotton? Genius~ :'D

Thank you, too, Viper. In the the last nighttime picture, you can see the button clearly. It became nicknamed the "doomsday button" that would nuke the world.
This just in! Alien flagbabes invade Earth!

Thak you so much!Those are such beautiful cosplay pictures!
I wore this costume to an anime con, and a lot of people mentioned their love of NiGHTS- I even got a "Great Cosplay" award! The best part, though, was when four little girls and their mum walked by. One said, "It's NiGHTS!" and they came over. We posed for pictures, I did my best Julissa impression, and they talked about how they draw NiGHTS all the time. They asked the gender question, and I explained that NiGHTS could be what ever you want NiGHTS to be, because it's your dream. They were so cute!
