CutestLilHero

Thank you to everyone (except that one guy lol) for the compliments! I'm still bouncing around and can't believe I won!

All of the costumes I've seen are so great, and I love it that I'm a part of some seriously spectacular costumers. Now we just need to get everyone together and throw down a boombox.

Everything on my costume (except the leg warmers which was my inspiration) is custom. Everything was sewn, dyed, painted and altered to look as much like CutestLilHero as possible.

The utility belt and panda were made using sketches I did from screen shots. There were tons of printed out screen shots from every possible angle all over the dining room table where I was working.

The wings took the longest to do (about 5 days) because I reshaped them, covered them in tissue paper and then painted them to look like the CoH wings (there is 6 of them altogether). I wish they hadn't been so heavy and looked more like my screen shot, but then again I also wish they were real wings, but that ain't gonna happen. *heh* I cut my bangs and redid my eyebrows (I had to shave off half of them and redraw them on!) the same day as the photos.

It was about 40 degrees out when we took the photos and even though I look pretty covered, there's not a whole lot of warmth in that outfit...lol. Also, a lot of people kept stopping to watch because I guess it's not often to see heroes walking down the sidewalk with a camera and a tripod.

Yup, things are pretty backed up here in Community Command Central. Our apologies but we don't anticipate we'll have announcements and emails out until next week at the earliest.

Yay! Thank you!

I know things have been crazy for you guys - we just wanted to make sure you remembered about us.

Thanks again!

~Cutest (looking forward to seeing all the costumes)

You'll freaking find out when you find out. Losers, winners, whoever. Sorry if that's bugging the crap out of you 2 or 3 people - but it's certainly not bothering me.

*mrow!*

There are quite a few more than just 2 or 3, but not all of us are posting about it (the page views for this thread should be a good clue). And AFAIK, the rednames haven't been answering PMs about it for a while. It's more courtesy at this point, I think, than 'presents and cash'. Standard good business practices and all that.

That took me less than 10 seconds to do.





Hey, Hellgeist, can I get a large popcorn and a soda with my ticket?
