Has anyone else noticed a lot of sex appeal in this game? Nothing wrong with that, though.

Yeah...I saw an ad for Lineage II. Really made me want to play it

While it may not be an overwhelming amount, the female concepts are a bit...pronounced. Not to be sexist or anything. It seems to me lots of skin on females is becoming the stereotype just like how most video game males are really muscular. What is the strategic value of showing that much skin for a female warrior wearing plate armor? Distract the enemy with your sexiness?

By the way, if you can pull off the outfit, you've won my undying love and affection.

I once used a Kosh (babylon 5) costume at a convention and that was too funny. I didn't see a thing and was lile bumping into other ppl. The best was when i bumped into a Darth Vader and knocked him over ^^. me a 5,7 guy running a 6,4 guy over just rules (the Kosh costume was kinda heavy ).
Shame that i got no pics.

And yes so far your progress looks good.

Speaking of photos, it seems to me like Cosplayers would really need access to good photpgraphic services while at cons... they put SO much work into their outfits, but usually when i see photos they are really blurry or dark (obviously just a snapshot). Does anyone ever set up good photographic equipment at these Cosplay cons? I'd consider bringing up my digital rig to a con and shooting really high-end portraits if people had need of the service...

Now days since most people have digi cams more pics are turing out better.
