Sheik: Ninety Eight Per-Cent

[Sheik - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Super Smash Bros]

Uploaded because apparently I can't help myself.

Incomplete costume is at the moment just barely incomplete, because I'm a lazy ass who won't put some white paint into three triangles and make some shoulder pads.

Worn for Melbourne Armageddon 2011, and will be finished in time for a LoZ photoshoot in early December.

Photo taken by Trung Do, during one of my five-minute breaks on Saturday~

The most painful piece of this costume to make was the goddamn funny hat. > The base was easy enough, but sewing strips around it to make it appear wrapped was driving me nuts.

also good Lord do you want some more bandages in your design Sheik. Because I'm sure that if you tried a little harder, you could find some empty space somewhere to put a few more.

...And I lied about the most painful part being the hat, because I just remembered threading the leather cord. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I have to lace the goddamn breast and abdomen-plate EVERY SINGLE TIME s-sob

(Despite how long it takes to put on and take off [I could not use the bathroom for the entire convention, due to the fact that it takes me ten minutes to strip off enough to be able to pee, and then fifteen minutes to put everything back on], this costume is stupidly comfortable. It's bloody ace.)
