This is my amazing Midna Costume! I won Best of Saturday at Otakon 2010! This was my first really big win. I worked on this costume off and on for 3 years. I made three different versions of the bodysuit before I was even remotely satisfied. I'm wearing a home-made fat suit under the bodysuit to give me those big Midna hips, so sorry, my butt is not real! I painted resist onto a white cotton lycra blend, and then painted a thickened dye onto it. The runes are a glow-in-the-dark silkscreen paint with pearlized pigments to give a shimmer. The helm is made of a foam that is similar to a stiffer upholstery foam. Unfortunately, I'm not sure what it is exactly, as i bought it off a guy on craigslist XD. The wig is a hand dyed yellow Femme Fatal wig from Amphegory with a giant mass of extension on top of a form made from quiting batting. The helm is only 4lbs, so it's not too bad. It's also very well balanced with the hair and horns being opposite. All the runes are actually carved into the foam. It's coated with several layers of stone spray paint. I've glued a white and a black piece of leather to my soles, and I'm wearing a red scalar lens in my exposed eye.

Before I left Utah, I knew I had to do a photoshoot at the Castle behind the mental hospital! So a few weeks before I left, I got my friends Elrowiel and The Lorax and we went and took pictures for a few hours.
