Thank you very much! This was my first attempt with it, and I am planning to remake it. It was all built on a one piece leotard/unitard, so yeah XD I was insanely anal retentive about it, but in OoT, Sheik doesn't have anything on his top. When I do Brawl, it's gonna be insanely detailed XD I'm hoping to premiere that sometime next year.

looking forward to a kick-ass cosplay! sheik is one of my favorite Zelda characters so i gotta bother people who dress up as him...or her..

You have no idea! I'm insanely anal about LoZ, and Sheik in particular. It's kind of my life. Sheik was the very first person I EVER wanted to cosplay. I literally bled for this costume. I'm really hard on people who cosplay him, myself. I actually got verbally bitch slapped recently, because someone made a Brawl, and did ALL wrong, but the person is very, "well known", cosplayer, so people full on attacked me for saying anything. I didn't attack the person, just offered constructive critiques. Yeah, their little "fans" didn't like that...

Haha to me, Sheik is a separate character from Zelda, and is just HIMself.

Vrexie In reply to Sheik-of-Shadow [2011-09-03 00:56:25 +0000 UTC]

haha Yeah fans can really be cruel! I myself have only cosplayed once and it was simple so i always think it's pretentious of me to do so. i'm just happy you kinda get what i'm saying

That's what i think too. I just assume Zelda used her magic to change her gender as well as appearance

No worries. I know where you're coming from. I'm hard on other people who cosplay characters that mean a lot to me. I'm WAY harder on myself though.

See, I see Sheik as just him. It's not Zelda at all, but a completely different person. I have a very long theory on all this, and paper that I wrote for one of my college courses, but yeah. He's just him to me.

you wrote a paper on sheik? did you get a good mark? haha.

anywho I plan on lurking your sheik cosplays in the future!! be wary !

Sheik-of-Shadow In reply to Vrexie [2011-09-03 15:56:35 +0000 UTC]

I wrote my own back story on him, based on my own theories. And yeah, got a perfect score on it ^.^

Heh well I do have one other Sheik outfit in my gallery, which is my visual kei version of my own design.

Wanderkitsun3 [2011-09-01 09:35:07 +0000 UTC]

really nice ! you did a great job with the costume ! and the setting fits perfectly too
must be pretty hard to sew that sort of elastic fabric I guess?

Sheik-of-Shadow In reply to Wanderkitsun3 [2011-09-01 16:43:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much! Heh, it wasn't anywhere near easy XD The base of the costume was a white leotard, which was dyed the correct dark blue. Then, the light blue, which is stretch fabric, was sewn on WHILE the leotard was being stretched out to the correct size where it would fit right. The white fabric on the leotard was then hot glued on, WHILE I had the leotard on XD

I should really do a tutorial on this thing haha XD

Hahaha I checked your page out, and I LOVE The Bazinga! I actually am planning on cosplaying Sheldon with my BBT group fairly soon. Also saw you plan on cosplaying the Link...oh, the Link...we love the Link XD

ShadowAlpha13 In reply to Sheik-of-Shadow [2010-10-08 01:26:10 +0000 UTC]

Teehee. I adore Sheldon Cooper! He is my husband, I swear. I didn't even think to cosplay him either - that would be so much fun! I want to see your pictures when they're done too. Oh, yes, definitely cosplaying Link and possibly Midna (I adore her). I've wanted to cosplay Link for a long time. I want to do an Ocarina of Time version, a Majoras Mask version, a Twilight Princess version, and a Wind Waker version

...I think you'd make a good Zero Suit Samus as well. (Just a suggestion if you run out of other costume ideas lol )

L-o-Z In reply to Sheik-of-Shadow [2010-09-18 04:50:02 +0000 UTC]

lol I'm not as short as Link: that didn't stop me. I think anyone can cosplay nearly any character -- that's what is great about it. Imperfections are usually ignored (again, pointing to my Link costume... I don't have blond hair and I didn't have a sword, but people ignored those and were really friendly about the costume... even though I admit it wasn't the best or most accurate).

Sorry if I'm rambling haha

Sheik-of-Shadow In reply to L-o-Z [2010-09-20 01:38:40 +0000 UTC]

Haha don't worry about rambling. I do it too ^.^ Do you have photos up on your account of your Link cosplay? I'd love to see it, if you do. And I do plan on cosplaying from Metroid, but as a character from the new game.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

L-o-Z In reply to Sheik-of-Shadow [2010-09-20 03:12:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I have some pictures up, I believe. They're probably in a folder, 'cosplay' or something. There are only a couple up from a few years ago... I have a ton more on a hard-drive somewhere that I never got around to posting.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing your next cosplay... it's obvious that you put a lot of time and effort into your Sheik costume I'll admit, I never really played the Metroid games and my GameCube has been sitting on a shelf collecting dust... (I think the Resident Evil 4 game disc is still in there... oops.)
