Hi! I added your amazing art to my favorites awhile ago but forgot to comment on it. I know artists love comments and my club :devGood-inention: is encouraging people to comment more often [link] so I think i'll leave you some feedback. ^^
This is a great cosplay.
You look female but are still androgenous enough to look somewhat like a young male, which is very important to Shiek's character, since she is not supposed to appear very feminine. The wig looks like it is good quality too. I think the hair looks a little different than what I remember in the game but it still looks fairly realistic and accurate. Probably the best part of this whole cosplay is the poncho. ( I don't know what to call it. Cowl, maybe?) It is the best one I've seen. You picked the right light blue color and the little details such as the torn edges look very nice. Also, if you painted the eye yourself it looks very neat and smooth. If there is one suggestion I can give you, it's that Sheik has a very masculine upper build that you don't really seem to have. Maybe it's possible to wear light shoulder pads or padding in the chest to give that appearence. I'm not sure but it may be worth looking into. Right now you look slightly more feminine than the real shiek, but I'm sure male fans will probably find that more attractive and sexy which could very well be your intention.

Thank you very much! I do appreciate the critique.
I do my best with whatever wigs I have at the time ^^ and I'm very happy with how the poncho thing turned out. I spent a long time hand drawing the design and trying to make sure the paint edges were clean. I wanted the sides of it to look torn but not completely destroyed and fraying.
I guess it is personal preference that I view sheik as female. I like the androgynous of her, but things get complicated with padding when I've already fit the body suit to my own measurements. While less accurate it is more visually appealing. From a convention and photoshoot point of view it was difficult enough for me to get into the costume as it is without worrying about padding xD
Thank you again!

I was just talking about Legend of Zelda games in general xD

Oh, lol yeah I like them in that, but outside of it, Ocarina of Time was pretty good. It's just the way that all three characters were introduced into the game.

I really love the pose here, though I do have a question for you. Do you have padding underneith your feet? Cause it would look like your feet would be sore from walking around on rocks......unless your used to it.

Thank you
I don't have anything underneath my feet in pictures, but if I'm walking around at a con or outside of pictures I wear navy blue water shoes that I painted to match my costume.
