Q&A:

-Q-why is vincent wearing a ribbon?
-A- the ribbon is in memory of aeris/aerith. all the main "playable" characters have a ribbon somewhere on them or their weapon in the advent children movie.

-Q-do you have any tutorials on vincent's claw and/or boots?
-A- no tutorials at the moment but i highly suggest looking at the tutorial, featured above, that i used while creating vincent's armor.

-Q-do you have any patterns for vincent's claw?
-A- i used to have patterns for his claw but i lost them reciently when moving to a new location.

-Q-any tips when creating vincent's armor?
-A- in the featured tutorial, they call for cheese cloth to give the armor support. when wearing the craft foam armor on the feet, the armor needs more support than the cheese cloth can give. i suggest using el cheapo $1 yard fabric to help support the armor. if you have many layers of fabric and glue, like say 10ish, the armor would be more durable and is more likely to resist breaking.

-Q-is it easy walking in vincent's boots?
-A- hehe no, its like walking with swimming flippers. after i was used to the motion of his boots i was able to run/sprint in them just like how he ran in them in the original game. going up stairs is another question, its so hard going up stairs rather than going down them. i honestly have no clue how vincent ran up that set of stairs in the DoC game. typically i have to either side step or go backwards up the stairs.

-Q- are you a boy or girl?
-A- i am a girl.

-Q-did you find a pattern for the cloak/cowl/cape or did you make it up yourself?
-A- i found a pattern at my local fabric store that was similar to vincent's cloak. then i made the cloak to what the pattern suggested and edited it untill it looked like vincent's. his cape i totally made up with out a pattern. originally his cape was in the shape of a trapazoid inwhich i cut the tatters into.

-Q-what's with that yellow thing and con badges?
-A- the yellow thing was a security clearance token. con badges, i wasn't able to take them off before the photo. lets just say leather and a clawed hand makes it really difficult to remove objects from one's person.

-Q-why aren't you wearing contacts? doesn't vincent have red eyes?
-A- yes vincent does have red eyes but contacts just aren't my thing. @_____@;;;

-Q-any other tips or things to know?
-A- vincent wears shoulder pads!!! if you aline vincent's image against sephiroth's you can clearly see that vincent wears shoulder pads. even the advent children action figure of vincent gives room to shoulder pads, hense why the action figure's shoulders are pinch-able.
