The characters from my comic, FFC: [link]
dressed as the characters from Zoe's comic, Earthbound: [link]

Ry as Azriel - [link]
Katyn as Tephras - [link]
Chaerius as Arrik - [link]

The idea was to have the characters actually DRESSED as the other characters rather than just make them the same. So you really needed to see the costume-ness of it :D

For Ry, he's wearing costume pants, boots, and cloak. The wings and half his hair have been dyed white (but it's cheap dye, so the red shows through a bit :D) The skeleton hand is a glove. The skeleton ribs and human chest are a shirt (because I imagine that's easier than just trying to do half) which I imagine has the costume shirt underneath and the prop bracers over top of that. A skull mask was cut in half and tied to his head with black make-up around his eye. A prop scythe in his hands. (I've never drawn him with his hair down...it'd have to be longer than that, but you'll just have to pretend for this pic :XD:)

With Katyn, the clothes are straightforward with plastic ear-tips and horns on a headband. The tail is attached around her waist and the wings are attached UNDER the coat (which is cut in the back, they'd be too heavy to attach directly to the coat) WHOO! Cross-play!

For Chaerius, his fur is dyed the green and tan (the same cheap dye the Ry used, but the black doesn't show through as well as the red, but if you look, you can see it) Green fluff tied around his tail and goggles with horns attached on his head. You can't see it because he's behind Katyn, but he's also wearing a little kitty leather jacket . :D Those purple eyes look FABULOUS against the green :XD:

The coloring's a little choppy, but that was intentional, I'm playing with trying to get a more painterly look. I haven't arrived there yet, but I like the results. Sadly, though, since I'm not there yet, it just looks sloppy. Forgive me? ^^;

It was kinda fun planning a character cosplay. I may have to do this again next year! (you always see characters as other characters, but this was fun to plan actual COSTUMES - "how would it all really work?" :D)

Hehehe I LOVE IT!
Zoe is a smiling Zoe. I wish I had done something for you, but I've been so busy going WHY IS VISTA NOW NOT RUNNING ANY OF MY PROGRAMMES!??!?! ARRRRGHHHH! That art has been the last thing on my mind really, but I may come up with something for Xmas LOL.
I think Ry as Azzie is amazing LOL. I was hoping to start getting back to drawing the new EB, and so far have got the next page done and the first page inked and scanned, but so need to get that coloured hehe. Talking of which, I love your colourings! They look fab! Hehehe, Tephras!!! We all loves him!! I am sure he'd be pleased the cute girl was wanting to dress up as him.
THANKS LOADS!
You's made my Halloween! *hugs*

You seemed like you needed a pick-me-up lately, so I thought it'd be a fun idea. :D

It's been done for a couple of weeks, actually, but I intentionally held onto it for today so that you wouldn't have time to do a gift in return. :evillaugh: Not because I dislike Zoe gifts AT ALL, but because I wanted to cheer you up, not make you feel like you needed to do more work. :D

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It was wicked fun to draw! Yay Tephras! (Is my bias showing? :XD:)

That's too good! It makes me smile. I love that their costumes are homemade style, too good! I wish I could have done something for Halloween, but I was too busy doing things for Halloween! Still, great picture! I love this!

I usually don't do anything for Halloween, to be honest, this is only the second one I've ever done. It's just one of those things where I felt inspired and had to go with it!

...course it meant putting aside working on ACTUAL costumes for a bit ^^;

Green is my favorite color, so I totally agree. There was part of me that wanted to do another picture so that his full costume could be seen, but I really liked these poses so I kept it. :D

...the purple eyes clash somthing fierce though :XD:

Great job! The coloring is awesome! And I really admire how you drew the pants. I know that sounds odd, but pants can be tricky w/ all those folds, so I generally notice when they're done really well. =D
Lol, it's probably going to take Chaeriues forever to get all of that dye out of his fur. XD

Don't look at me in that tone of voice!
