Description
Photo by Doors of Imagination PhotographyI think this is my favorite picture from the whole convention.
All real leather armor, spandex chainmail print, woodcrafted Lyre and knife, pvc pipe bow covered in EVA and Craft foam (this baby flexes all pretty on stage!), completed styled wig (I tore it apart a fe times), and real pewter and aluminum fixings that I forged myself. From the shoes to the wig, I hand made pretty much everything. The shoes are just heavily modified athletic shoes. I have full motion and can do just about any move Sheik can do... so long as I practice haha! The only things I do not have are red contacts and the needles for her needle storm attack. I am still working on those.
This cosplay has been a major love/hate relationship, haha!
Oh! And the bow glows in the dark! The rest of the cosplay will as soon as I finish adding the paint on.
Here are the prog pics of some of the items

Can I buy that from u for a cheap price? I love the idea of cosplay and it would be awesome to wear out at the mini conventions at the park by my house. Also it would be the best video game costume for Halloween ever. Pretty Please. No one in my family can make something like this and I have been searching for a good cosplay outfit and costume for a while but nothing is as good as this. This beats ALL!

This is probably the cutest comment I have seen all day. 
Thank you for the compliments, but I am not wanting to part with this cosplay just yet. I am also closed on custom commissions until after October/November at this time. I am always willing to give advice and point out tutorials if you would like to try making cosplay. The internet and cosplay community is so full of tutorials and helpful people that beginners in the craft have it so much better than I began in 2008. There are so many great resources and tutorials out now. Let me know if I can help in any way. I enjoy giving ideas to budding cosplayers.
Thank you again for the compliments. You are too nice!

Awwwwww. You are very welcome, and I would just like to say that not much people in my family can do or make this. Not even half of this. They can sew but that is about it. Also if your going to sell it at anytime, could u let me know because I am willing to buy it from you whenever. Also if you are going to, what do you think the price would be? And how tall are you because I think that it would make a difference on the way it fits. Also I am 5'5 and I wear double 0 pants.

I started cosplaying years ago and knew nothing about how to sew and with practice, I got this far. It only takes effort and patience... lots of patience, haha! Thank you again for the kind words. Sadly, I do not wish to sell Sheik but if I ever did, she would be for a hefty price. The amount of work that was put into her and the use of real leather armor unfortunately would bring the price up. LOL, I believe one of my professional prop making friends priced her at $2500, which was very nice of them. I tend to undersell myself. The real cost of my Sheik cosplay is priceless. She was the cosplay that really helped me make a name for myself.
It is very funny because we are both the same height and about the same pant size! LOL!!
Thank you again for asking and I really loved your comments. You are very nice

Thank you, and I understand where you're coming from. thank you for reponding and for being so kind. And yes that is quite expensive, but it was really hard to make it sounds like. I hope you enjoy what you playing as her and always have fun.
