Now that the contest is over, I shall give a more in-depth comment of my thoughts on your piece

First off, this one creeps me out! That's not a bad thing of course But eek that kite is scary! I've never seen the movie so I guess I really can't appreciate it for whatever it is But alas, it's definitely set the scene up for something spooky and wrought with mystery. I mean...why in the world would Zex want to grab and hold onto such a creepy thing! Oh wait...cause it's Zex that's why

It's amusing how the 4 have become the tail to this freaky kite, and all their expressions (from what I can see behind the masks), tells that something good can't possibly be happening. Star looks a bit zombie-ish though, and for the life of me I can't figure out what Misty and Glide are (Misty's bang is missing too, but maybe that was intentional for the costume?). Either way, it's a very unique scenario, and a very spooky one at that! Keep up the good work Loa!

In the story the kids build the kite out of old circus posters they find on the side of an old house, and when it wont fly straight because it has no tail they end up becoming the tail!

Ya I was based off the costumes in the movie, I think Misty is a witch and Glide is a gargoyle, though until they say it in the film you can't tell ether. Also the white hair on the back is a wig, I was going to add her bang but there was nowhere for it to poke though so it's just pulled back and tucked under her mask. You should look it up and see if it's on you tube! It's worth a watch!

Also the costumes are a bit modified from the original as the image I was basing it off of wasn't very good quality. But ya glad you like it! ^^

Old posters from a Circus, but when they rip them off they move and warp.
