This piece is very well laid out! I'll try my best to critique it well.

A cosplay is marked by three very important features: The costumes, the wigs, and the props. The costumes were well done. Kurama's costume looks authentic to canon, and actually lokos like something someone would wear (some costumes are just plain ridiculous). Yoko's costume really can't be seen because he's standing behind Kurama, but fromwhat I can see, it's rather simple in design. If it were me, I might have added a wee bit more detail to the costume, just to give it a 'yoko' feel. But then again, his costume never really had alot of detail in the series. The wigs are also well done. Kurama's wig is SPOT ON. I'm so happy with it. Some wigs are just frizzled and nasty, this one actually looks like hair. How exciting! Yoko's on the other hand needs a bit of work around the ears. The actual hair itself is okay, but the ears don't look very 'real'. I know that to have real ears is just out of the question, and it's so hard making them look authentic for a picture, but I can see that these are just pieces of felt and fluff (or at least, their insides are). If I were you, I'd take a visit over to a party store or halloween store in your area (online is great too) and try to find cat ears. White cat ears to be exact. There are some really coold designs that would look 110 times better than these... Now, as for the props....

First of all, the eyes are missing. Contact lenses are at times, rather expensive (what with shipping, etc), but if you keep them in good condition they can last a long time. Yoko and Kurama both are supposed to have very striking eyes with very hot colors... sometimes lenses don't cut it. For that, turn to photoshop! And even if you don't have photoshop, go to picnik.com and edit your photo there. I would have definetly done that, had I been you. The plant entwined around Yoko's arm looks very realistic (probably because it IS real) and for that I applaude you. Smart smart move! Some people like to buy fake plants,which drives me nutts. It's wasted money, just go pluck something out of the backyard! I would have put fake nails on Yoko just for effect, but that's just me. The vision in this piece was well put. You took your time with the pose, and got them looking just right. The originality sadley isn't there because so many people have done this pairing, in this way. It's not you, it's just everyone has done it (though this is an exceptional piece in quality). Your technique was excellent! You really went the extra mile, making your final impact rather high in my regards. I think you did a very good job. Well done! Bravo!
