Congrats to Marisa, the overall winner! She's from the same city as myself, and I love her much for representing Riversidians everywhere!

Either way! Congrats!

I'm just old enough and she's just young enough looking where I can't bring myself to flip out too much on ol' Cookie Girl...but it is nice to see the old sterotype of avid gamers being overwight male shut-ins just get shattered. Bring on the attractive female shut-ins!

Congratulations to the winners!
Darn, I wish I could make one for my character... A full suit of body armor won't be easy, though. 
Wow, the winners costume is amazing! All the others are really awesome and outstanding too. Great job by everyone!
=^ ^=
Oh, almost forgot. Thank you for getting them up Cricket.

Rats! I was hoping I could pull a threepeat!
Definite congrats to all the winners though...those were some amazing costumes! The coloring alone on Marisa's costume is really incredible, and I was hoping someone would try an insect cape.
Total props to everyone who entered, too...there were some really great and fun entries! Some of my favorites:
[*]Hyper-man - Awesome match for city hall!
[*]Neuron Man - Zeus, I don't know what to say I haven't already said...awesome work!
[*]Dramatus - I just love that newspaper.
[*]Womanimals - Wow, tough costume to pull off, but the tiger stripes on the body are really cool! Points taken off for reminding me of that old "Manimal" show, though.
[*]Zand - Genius.
[*]Texstar - Shine on, you crazy diamond.
[*]Cookie Girl - The good news: I doubt you'll ever want for a team again. The bad news: No matter what their archetype says, your teammates will all be stalkers.
Congrats again to everyone!
Okay, my costume for next year: nova form Kheldian. That'll win for sure!
And thank you Cricket for taking the time to post all these!

Zeus, how did you get around with that costume? It looks like one solid hard shell. Or did you go as a statue?
Teams are the number one killer of soloists.
Okay, I'm puzzled, now that I look at the winners again... Nepharim's in-game picture looks exactly like a Carnie costume. Is it possible to make that costume in the costume creator? If it is, I'd love to know how...if it isn't, then that's clearly not her character, and that seems like shenanigans.
I mean no disrespect since her real-life costume really is amazing, but that does seem a little sketchy to me.

Congratz to all the winners. Congratz to everyone for great costumes. Congratz to Cookie Girl for being the second hottest girl that I have seen that plays CoH so far. First has to be my VG leader cause if not she will hit me.
Oy, I hate to be the doomsayer but I agree with Avonlea. Nepharim's costume is great, no question. It's not a copy of one of her characters, though. I'm really surprised that the judges let this one through. The caption on the website even acknowledges it as a Carnie costume.
I hate being a bad guy but this costume should have been disqualified. I'd be happy to be proved wrong but I don't see how that could possibly be a player villain costume.
Marisa definitely had the best overall. That power armor was a really great job.
Marisa's costume in game is killer... wish I had thought of something like that.
Her real life costume is definatly incredible. The Belt and Shoulderpads are a bit cheesily made, but the rest more than makes up for it.
Severe Kudos are in order.
Nepharim's costume is obviously a demo-edit or mod. Demo editing and modding is against the rules is it not? So why was she allowed to be a runner-up, nevermind even be accepted for judging? Her costume openly breaks the rules, and yet she was given a prize for it? And all those entries from people who didn't have to cheat are left out?
So what you're saying, judges, is it's openly ok to demo-edit or mod in your entry from any costume in the game?
It's killing season
Time to celebrate
What better way than to
Rid the world of all the walking waste ....
