Hmmm... I'm deciding... I'm deciding... I'm debating whether I want to go as either:
(Pit as he appears in
Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
or
(Palutena as she appears in
Super Smash Bros. Brawl).
I'm sort of leaning towards Pit, though. I'm already trying to plan out the wings and etc. (Work will not start officially until I get my copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, though, since I'd like a clearer look at Pit's in-game wings) I will be completely redoing the entire costume, from the wings to the bow, fixing any and all of the flaws my 2007's costume had (stupid greaves need to be fixed; they kept falling down and sometimes coming undone while I was walking around at the convention last time). I'm also trying to work on (gasp! Dun-dun-dun!) the hairdo, which as you can see looks very complicated... My hair color's pretty close, and it's definitely long enough to be cut and stylized, but it'll still be difficult...
Now Palutena (or Parthena, as I like to call her; that name sounds so much more cooler!) on the other hand... her outfit looks totally awesome and goddess-like, and with
her hair I'd probably only need hair extensions and somehow dye it a non-permanent green. On the downside, her outfit doesn't look real easy to make (but then, Pit's doesn't look any easier, either), and I don't know where or what I'm going to do about that Mirror Shield and scepter... Oh, and I think I'd probably look funny if I was walking down the hallways as the Goddess of Light of Angeland, since people would probably be coming up and asking me, "Palutena, where's Pit, your bodyguard?"
If I can find some friends, one who could dress as Pit for this year's Kumoricon, then I'll consider cosplaying as Palutena. But I dunno, I like Pit way more then Palutena, so I think I'll go as Pit again regardless of whether I can find a partner to go with or not...
