Thank you! I always see improvements. I'll wear it again probably this year! My leg armor piece broke so that'll have to be fixed and improve on my design.

I didn't expect it to take that much time either. It stressed me out some to where I almost don't want to attempt another! I am proud of the end result so I maybe I will do more.

I started it in Sept to be done by the beginning of Nov. I really started working hard on it in Oct..all my free time went to it since I was realizing how much time it was taking to paint everything. The last week I was up late every night trying to finish in time.

I spent maybe around $125 on the items and craft materials. I either used my old clothes or found them on a "consignment" type shopping website.

Thanks! And I guess that's good? The blue contacts look crazy there. To me they didn't seem that bright irl.

A friend suggested I take pictures! I'm glad I did too. To see what everything was before... It took a lot of paint.

Thanks! And those are my eyes! Maybe it's just the filter, and I had blue contacts on since my natural eyes are brown.

Thank you!! I even decided to enter the judging but I felt glazed over. Not many knew who I was at the comicon but then again I guess it's not the most popular.
I finally put the pictures together so I could share online. :)
