Ohoooh AWESOME! 
Please tell me how you styled that wig, I'm doing a cosplay next month and have a very chunky-spikes look to achieve.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks!!! For the wig, I have a construction tutorial on how I did the spikes. Its kinda unorthodox, but it worked out best for my cheapness and impatience lolol. Here's the link -> [link]
I wrote it specifically for a Goku wig, but it could be applied to all big-spike wigs!

No problem! ^^ Ohh wow, it looks like a lot of hard work! 
Thanks for the tutorial, I might just have to try that!

Silly question, but where did you buy the ears? Or did you make that yourself too! Awesome job, the best DBZ cosplay I've seen, which'll be even better after all the other additions you plan! [link]

OMG I love this!!
What did you use for the armpads?? I always thought if I was going to cosplay as Piccolo I'd use highschool football gear under the cloak.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Somebody willing to cosplay Piccolo?? @_@!!! I love you.
For the armpads, it is actually just EazyFelt, which is a stiffened felt, that is sturdy and bendable. I got it from a Michael's craft store.
I cut 2 seperate shoulder gaurds and sewed thin elastic to attach them in the back, and for underneath each arm. I then covered them with my white fabric and sewed the cape piece to them. The ruffles around my neck is an indian scarf that I just wrap around and pin into place.
The cape is very light and comfortable!! I can also take it off without having to pull it over my head. I might make a tutorial on how I made the cape and other parts of this cosplay later, so I will edit the description with a link ^^!!!!

Hahaha Hell YEAH Piccolo.
I mean, he WAS the best bad guy in the series. Stupid Vegeta with his whole "you're better than me Kakarot" crap. I mean, come ON! so what if Goku could go super sayian 3 and Vegeta couldn't. SO? Goku had NO Sayian pride. I mean NONE.
And besides, Buu was a crap saga anyway. Piccolo coulda taken Buu. He just didn't WANT to. And Gohan was the RIGHTFUL HEIR TO THE THRONE!!! (of main character)
Stupid Akira Toryama for bowing to pressure from his publishers to change the ending. (and I apologize to the great Akira Toryama for having such harsh words. You are a god, sir. A man amongst men)
Namekian FEVAH!

I know I love Piccolo!! I don't see why Vegeta's so popular. Gohan definitely is the shiznit man... He is more powerful that SSJ3!! Even though a lot of crazy stuff happened in DBZ and Piccolo became more background I wouln't change anything... I just wish more people would actually do GOOD DBZ cosplay!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha. Well, one of these days I'll cosplay the Piccolo . . . I also want to try cosplaying Yamcha from Dragonball, a Saiyan with the battle armor (maybe nappa? but then I'd have to shave my head!) and at one point in time I think I'd like to try a Master Roshi.
If there's ANY one of them I'm most identified with . . . it's the Master Roshi. ONE of these days I'll be super old, but still always hitting on young 17 or 18 year old women. HAHAHAHA
*sighs*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooh $_$! Any of those potential cosplays would be GOLD. You hardly see Yamcha or even Master Roshi! LOL From your icon you could probably do anyone you wanted to!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha, thank you (I think??) lol
I was always a fan of Yamcha in the DB series, and rooted for either him or for Master Roshi to win the Budokai Tenkaichi.
And if I shaved, bent over a lot, wore the traditional kung fu training gi with the HUGE turtle shell on my back, as well as shades . . . yeah, I could be a Master Roshi. HAHA.
btw . . . I'd love to see you cosplay as Chi Chi some time. You'd do a FANTASTIC job. You've got both the vision of beauty and of power that she has. Not EVERYONE can pull off a chi chi. You have to have beauty, for sure. A very sexy and strong face.
But you also have to have that sort of force behind it, that strength that comes with being a martial artist. You could TOTALLY do it.

Yamcha was totally da man in DB series, I wish he'd won the bodukai too!!
ChiChi!! I totally love her. Actually my SISTER has cosplayed ChiChi a couple years ago, I went as Videl. BAD PHOTO-> [link]
I definitely wanna do as many characters as possible in the future though ^^, and redo old stuff
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Yamcha was one of my all time favorites. To tell you the truth . . . I think I really enjoyed reading DB more than DBZ. NOT that I didn't like Dragonball Z. I was a 16 year old boy when it was playing for the first time on TV in Saint Louis.
HOWEVER . . .
as I've gotten older, I've learned to appreciate DB more and like DBZ a liiiiiittle bit less. I can only assume it's the whole storytelling style that Akira changed from DB to DBZ.
And of COURSE I think you're pretty. hahahaha silly rabbit, trix are for kids.

You made them yourself? Wow! Nice
I could use a pair of these shoes!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

The costume is insanley good but theres a few things too fix if you want it perfict. #1 your eyebrows. #2 get green contacts. #3 gohan didnt wear socks lol. But great job, i wish i had that!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know! It was 3AM so I didn't feel like painting my eyebrows. I've been searchin around for good opaque aquamarine contacts... and uh... as for the socks... my feet were cold lolol. Thanks!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
XD hmm I want the costume...err clothes...especially the shoes..yes yes...tell me where you got them!!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
heheheh! Piccolo-san daisuki! I didn't buy any of this stuff, I made it all myself!! The shoes I handstitched. They're made out of some old slippers and some kinda tent canvas fabric I found!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok really... you are going to make some of those for me and I am going to pay you. O_O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
are you serious?? lol ..hehehe I will see if I have any of that orange canvas left.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
argh! I'm sorry, some of my sewing stuff is at my university res, and some is back home. That orange fabric is back home >_<;; I'll be going home in 2 weeks though, so I will see!! ^^!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well either way I suppose I would have to measure you my feet by inches, lenght and width...hell I don't know! I've never done this! Xxxxx I'm SO EXCITED AHHH!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah!! You will be my very first commision too. XD... I usually make cosplay shoes a size bigger than the normal foot because otherwise they hurt after walking 3 consequetive days in them. I use as a base a slipper with a sturdy sole and then build the shoe around that. I made mine so I could just pull them on without any fastenings!
For your measurements I don't want to make ANY mistake cause I'm anal like that... so in centimeters (hehe 
- tell me your shoe size
- measure from big toe to heel
- widest part of your foot
*most important (exact centimeters)
- around your ankle
- from top of ankle straight down to the bottom of your foot (the curvy top of the shoe will be just above your ankle)
As long as I get your shoe size I will go one higher so it should fit and be comfortable, and the bigger size won't be noticible!!
For now I can't really say how much money I would commission these for... I'm pretty cheap myself, so definitely nothing outrageous. Also, I really don't know for sure when I can get the materials and make them just yet, so why don't ya just gimme your measures and let me make the things and then we can work out a reasonable price if they look good or not????
....I REALLY hope nobody touched that orange fabric at home >_👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha I won't be wearing them either way! Well might try them on when fiance isn't looking >> <.👍: 0 ⏩: 0

I must say, your abilities at making costumes are incredible. Do you plan to perhaps make a small business out of it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow thank you!! I'm not sure about a small business, but in the future I might definitely take commissions. ^^!

Same here, I always did enjoy using his freeze attacks. Mind you, Scorpion is pretty great in his own right. Is it only anime costumes you do?
