My Kite (.Hack//Link version) and Haseo (2nd Form) Cosplay from Acen 2026 (And a few older ones from last year.)
Hey everyone! This is my first time using reddit and I saw my cosplay of Haseo 2nd form when I was lurking around the .Hack subreddit. So I figured I post some various pics of cosplaying as both him and the .Hack//Link version of Kite as an introduction for myself. The Kite outfit was made from scratch that took several months to get the sewing, body size fit, and some of the accessories set with the help of my friend on getting it all up and running. Unfortunately, the hat could have been done better since the symbol and emblem is literally on top of it, but for a first attempt I'm really happy on how it came out. Sadly, I didn't get the chance to make the daggers so I had to use some random ones to match random in-game weapon shapes lol
The Broad-Legged sword for Haseo took nearly six months back and forth working on it with the help of a friend guiding me on 3D printing the parts while I work on sanding, assembling, painting and trying to get this bad boy to the convention safely. I'm not gonna lie, it almost broke me on attempting such a project along with making it about six feet tall to match the ratio from referencing the image many times. Thankfully, the outfit wasn't too hard besides keeping the bracers on without falling down and a couple of leg belts not holding on tightly. Luckily, emergency patches and pins fixed that issue.
Sorry if I don't have any professional style pictures or really good ones, but I really enjoy cosplaying from one of my favorite series of all time. I was really happy to talk to so many people about .Hack during my time at Acen and hope to keep the spark strong with more upcoming soon.
