Let's hear it for hand-stitching...

Here's those cosplay progress photos. I've still got some fair amount of work to do, but it's looking pretty good, at any rate =)

Hey! Listen! Styrofoam ball painted with glitter paint, and tracing-paper wings. ;)
With the flash on, for extra shiny effect!
It's a bit droopy, buuuuut we'll manage... eventually...
Now for my stuff. I did use paint and it did stiffen like you guys said it would, but it's not entirely disasterous and while the painted parts are not quite as form-fitting as I'd like, well, it doesn't look too bad.
The drape thingy. I'm gonna paint this tonight. It looks quite good when worn and is currently my favorite component =)

I'm also working on the wrist and head bandages, which are functional but not fully complete yet. I'll post more photos 'round Halloween time; I've got a whole 'nother month...

I'd totally lend you an Epona

Hee, cute! But it's okay, I dunno about simhuman but I'm sure I'd totally fall off if I can even get on in the first place. ^^;;

have you got the bandages and stuff too?

The chest bandages are easy, it's just one long strip so I've done that. The finger bandages, I'm not sure, I might just cut the fingers off some rubber gloves and stuff. They're not top priority right now. Halloween is mostly a "beta run" and I'll fine-tune the nitpicky details when I prepare for a con. =)

And you need smoke bombs for the quick get away effect.

My brother and I have got this theory that when Sheik throws down a Deku Nut, Link gets stunned for like five minutes and by the time he comes to, Sheik's run away... XD
