If you want something that isn't too "perfect" looking, you can try just going to a party supply store and getting a halloween mask witht he right shape, and then painting it.

Otherwise, you can try making a hood from a stretch white material, then make the ears and muzzle from padding, and using a netting type of material for the eyes that you can put wither rhinestones or paint over for the proper colors. Paint on some spots, and you're good to go!

If you want something a little more detailed or perhaps more sophisticated, you can email me and I'll do my best to help you out. {egyptianvodka -at- gmail . com}

A group of friends and I are planning a Tekken cosplay ourselves! Keep in touch about your costume and maybe we'll see you there!

Isabella "Ivy" Valentine from Soul Calibur 2 or 3. She's such a fantastic character, but I really want to do her "skimpier" outfits...and I really don't have the boobs to pull it off. *sigh* Maybe once I figure that one out, you'll see me prancing around. ^^

A good place to check is definitely cosplay.com. You do have to be very careful, there's a lot of scams out there, and several places that aren't scams are EXTREAMLY over-priced. A friend of mine once paid $300.00 for a Sailor Moon costume that was out of the wrong material, didn't fit her at all, and fell apart one day into the con.

What costume are you looking to do? Is it an original peice? Maybe I can help point you in the right direction.

I just replied to your other topic reguarding armor making. I've seen the character, and would be more than happy to help you if you could be a *little* more specific on what you need help with.

You want an outline? Of what? Steps to go about construction, where to get materials, how to make it look the way you want...etc...?

If you need help, it's a better idea to email me, I'm not here a whole lot. {egyptianvodka -at- gmail . com}

I'm making armor this year. Not...traditional armon persay, but armor none the less. Devil Jin from Tekken 5 has gauntlets and shin guards (if doing the customized version) and I'll be making them from fiberglass and liquid latex.

Essentially, the fiberglass provides a sturdy base for the armor, and the latex gives it a more finished and real-looking feel. I've made armor for YEARS, including at rennaisance faires, so if you need any help with steel work (or anything in general) feel free to email me. {egyptianvodka -at- gmail . com}

Yep. Definitely doing a Tekken 5 group. We have a Devil Jin (my darling boyfriend), an Asuka Kazama (yours truly), and possibly a Christie Montiero. (Played by the lovely Purity Alighieri.)

Should be a LOT of fun. I haven't seen many Tekken cosplays out there, not to mention many Devil Jin's. Only seen like...2. And they were crappy. lol

My friends and I have been toying with the idea of a Tekken 5 cosplay group...possibly a Hellsing (OVA style) cosplay...we're not 100% sure yet. But more than likely one of those two. *nodnods*
