ACen 2014 (1) - Dark Magician Pair

It took me about 5 months (though sort of intermittent at times) of work, but I finally have an official cosplay to call my own; the very seldom seen, Dark Flare Knight.  As far as I know, no one else has this cosplay as I found no cosplay references to go by when making it myself, and had to guess at a lot of it.  At the time when I made the outfit, it still needed some work, but it was good enough for my first 3-day weekend of Anime Central this past May.
What I like about Dark Flare Knight, is that he is still considered a form of "Dark Magician," however, he is much more unique in that he was only seen once (and for less than 5 minutes at that) during the entire series of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.  To be specific, he only appeared in Season 3 - Episode 16 - Merger of the Big 5 (Part 3).
Nevertheless, of all the photos that were taken, this was one of the few that was taken with Ciara's (toxsickk) phone-camera that showed both of us in our cosplays, without losing full-bodied details.  Ciara's DMG cosplay has even more perfection since C+A+D with the addition of more resin-made gems and any necessary adjustments overall; it's really quite accurate. ^^
I hope you all like.
