PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK NEEDS FIXING

this is the 2 person costume version of my midna and wolf cosplay.

it still needs some work as midna's head is a bit big and too far forwars. i need to fix that as my sis has to hold her head just right or midna looks like a freaky gimp.

in this shot our legs are too close so it looks a bit odd (that is why we do photo shoots and run around in front of a video camera, doing so helps us know what to do/not to do. we now know we need to try and keep the body material tight between us)

it was so damn hard to try and make link's head/neck blend with the body and as a result his mane/hair on his head is overexagerated (this part is detachable from the costume and my body is inside the neck with ooccoo on my head to help hide it, i can tuck my face in when needed to fully hide it). i don;t think i can change that much aside from moving the wolf's back higer up. i dunno, what do you think?

midna's body is a smidge short and the arms a bit long/thick compared to how it is in the game but there is not much i can do to fix that (it has to be my sisters real arms...) the midna body was HARD to make and required alot of adjustments and re-painting.

i do plan to make the feet look better at least in the front by making the toes shorter and thus less flat-footed looking.

i don;t have much time left before the first costume contest this will be in, in late april.

please critizise this! i need both nice and harsh opinions here! the only way i can make this better is if you guys critique this!!!

PLEASE LEAVE ME COMMENTS ON WHETHER OR NOT:
you think it looks fine as-is
it looks odd as-is
what can be fixed
what looks fine
what looks really bad
what is "okay" (looks bad but your willing to ignore it as you know it must have been hard to make it look as good as it is)
just be nit-picky here, hopefully i can get some advise from real cosplay judges (if you are one, please tell me in the comment)

i appreshiate any comments i get, this will be my last costume and i want to make it perfect. i have promised my mom i'd make no more costumes, what i will do is make my old ones better as i really want to revive the old ryo-oki and ken-oki costumes (which need ALOT of help...)

hmm...well the wolf part looks perfect but the body could be a tiny bit longer and put the chain on the opposite front paw. And make Midna's head and body smaller. Also make Midna less plump. Too much plump can lose appeal when it comes to cuteness. Also her mask is on wrong.

If someone ran around a nudist colony fully clothed, would that be considered streaking?

i did this according to the gamecube version since it was the original version (and the version i have played) the game was made to fit the wii at the last minute and they decided to flip everything around cause link is left handed and most people are right handed. the game was already made and re-programming link to be right handed was too much work so they just mirror imaged the game, so in the wii version midna's other eye is covered and the shackle is on links other paw.

i am working on making midna's head smaller, i made the face smaller and angled the chin inward and i clipped a bit off the helm as it was rather awkward to wear and i lowered the ponytail and made it less wobbly (its on a spring so it moves when we move) as it was too mobile and caused the mask to tip around too much. and i plan to make the tummy a bit smaller as she has like no waist here.
as for making the wolfs body longer i wish i could, i don;t have any more fur and even so at this point it cannot get that done in time for the contest as i would have to re-paint the whole wolf to make the new material match

ONE DAY I will sprout wings and fly to somewhere and probably come back because I was too scared, but oh well.

awesome costume! i have to say, the Ooccoo head part was genius. sure beats squishing into Wolf Link's head!
it's really hard to make things accurate *and* wearable. the paws need to be big enough to fit your feet in (unless you walk around on your toes, which i DO NOT recommend in such an elaborate costume!) my only advice is to lengthen the body of Wolf Link.
keep up the great work!

Great work, but nest time for the Oocca, have a bald guy in the front and just put make-up on his face and a nest around his neck lol.

I do have to nit-pick though, it's spelled Oocca not ooccoo. I'm sorry for my Nintendo nerdyness.

BRAVO! Seriously. *looked at other pics* didn't you guys take the best cosplay back in 2005 (or was it 2006? Oh geez) at the SF CBF? Or at least, I think you did. ROFL you guys rawk.
~Ranpitsu:iconRanpitsu: Jun 26, 2007, 6:35:27 PM Mood: Joy
It does look odd but I'm really sorry since I don't know how to crit it! Once you finish it, it'll so OWN. Good luck :3

Only crit I can give is I think you should have made it a single person costume. Just be in the wolf the whole time. Have a Midna dummy on the back. That way the mane wouldn't be huge like that.
The front paws are too big. The back paws are bigger than the front. Not the same size.

My gosh, that looks amazing! And you even have Ooccoo! I really like this design, and the materials look great. It's very original!

Midna's body looks a bit funny, but it probably cannot be avoided, since someone's body has to fit in there.
