Major Motoko Kusanagi, from Ghost in the Shell. My fifth Major cosplay, this one is from the First Assault game. I loved this design the second I saw it, before the game was even released, and started planning it. The Major means so much to me, and this was such a well designed take on her Section 9 tactical gear.

The base fabric is a heavyweight spandex, which I airbrushed the hexagon pattern on before constructing it together. For the black parts, I used pleathers in several different shades and sheens of black, because I wanted the black-on-black cuts to show the details and shapes throughout the design. There are two wigs shown in this gallery, the first is a little too saturated purple for my liking so I remade the wig before wearing her to Momocon in Atlanta, Ga!
