Jue
The Final Flight of the Osiris
The Animatrix

time completed: End of August 2003
hours spent: 8
worn at: Dragoncon 2003, "Matrix Reloaded" at the FOX

Why I chose to make this costume:
As an enthusiastic Matrix-fan since the first movie, I've been waiting for the chance to make a costume from the story, not only for my own pleasure but also to join my friends in a group. When I saw the Animatrix, Jue's character spoke to me immediately.

How I made this costume:
I altered a jacket and made the rest of the vinyl outfit in a couple of days to wear it in time for a movie showing. I first thought of using leather but the contrast of bright red PVC and black leather looks more striking. The gloves and boots are bought.

My thoughts on this costume:
Nothing except that it's always fun to pose in this outfit.
