Seriously, I was like opening this page thinking, oh greaat, fanart/costume work, I think my vids need their own sticky or something... and then um... wow.

This shows creativity, countless hours of work, and I think you said a small fortune. I spent a small fortune on first a computer and then the software to do machinima, and you spent a small fortune on beads, cloth and shells. In the end I really can't say what was better time/money spent, seriously.

I'm honored to have my videos next to stuff like this, and we seriously need to have more people on Guru that appreciate the fanart, or maybe just more people on Guru altogether :P. Bravo! Want to see more!

very nice costume. Its to bad that no one has appreciated the actual photographer. That's a real shame.

But, keep up the good work.

Oh, no worries ^.^
I've posted this a few other places (such as dA) and I mostly get comments on how good the photographer is! She's very happy for all kinds of constructive crit, and in forums related more to arts than the game, she's received a lot of positive feedback and is very happy for it.

Neat costume you made there Tzu. Part of me would love to see the reaction if you went wandering around the mall or grocery store with something like that on.

Thanks Darth

Winterclaw; It was great fun going to the London MCM Expo as a Ritualist XD
The expression on people's faces (even if they should be used to weird cosplays by now) was something like this: <5% reckognized it, 30% stared without commenting, 20% commented on good work but had no idea what i was trying to look like, and the rest looked sort of scared.... >.>

Wow you did a good job, making that cosume and modelling it :-)

you have good detail, which a lot of people tend to leave out, must of been hard work ^_^

I planned to make an elementalist costume for fun (to look like my ele) but i need to save up the money for materials xDD

Can't wait to see your next creation :-)

when you do go for dwayna, use a good grease paint, I like mehron, it doesn't cake bad at all. After you apply it, use baby powder, and then mist some water on to set it.

I'm not sure if your suggestion is actually serious, but in any case; I use snazaroo body paint for these things. Easy to apply and very durable.
If you're talking about painting the armour-bits, I've allready got that one sorted as well.

Hollow Gein: 40k much? ;P

A Leprechaun: yes, I'm currently working on a Battle Sister costume, keep track of the progress at my dA.

thanks everyone!

VERY VERY durable and wont rub off on anything else but takes a while to get it off again

PS: give us some nice pictures when it's done!

I don't think this is the right forum to post pictures of a Battle Sister cos, but I can bump this thread with a link to my pictures at dA when I'm done.

valeria; thanks, but considering how much bodypaint I'd be using for a dwayna costume, I don't think something that doesn't easily come off is a good idea. But thanks for the tip See, even after vigorous soaping I still had a "slight tan" for a few days after wearing the ritualist cos, and snazaroo is supposed to come off super-easy. Even body paint does tend to stick is you use a lot of it, no matter what brand it is.

Wow!! oO Never knew that it's possible to design such a good looking RL replica of ritualist's costumes.. I'm jealous, and that costume gets my blessing, no matter what. =) How long did it take to do such an awesomeness? "Few" hours. x)

And the photographer gets props too. /cheer

It took quite some time. It prolly would only have taken a day or two if I bought all the beads and decoration, but since I'm a perfectionist to boot I "had to" mould, bake and paint every single detail, so it ended up taking a few months in the end... :P
