Thank you! It's definitely the costume I am most proud of out of all my costume designs to date. :)

GL in the contest! Here's a little something

I might add some details and corrections later, this was done pretty quickly

I wish I could draw that well. It's hard for me to convey the outfits I am trying with my limited skill level.

No your drawing is great and I totally get what you're going for. Most of fav costumes in these contests are not drawn by the most experienced artists - they're just simple and fun. I think these are qualities the artists at TN also appreciate, hence why they might not do a popular vote this time (favors technical skill too highly)

Figured I'd share an update on my fisherman Bass.

I still feel like it's a little too plain, but I'm not really sure what else I'd do to make a generic fishing outfit look more visually interesting.

I did want an opinion on something though. I made the fish on the back look more like a Bass (for obvious reasons), but I'm wondering if I should keep the splash effect from the original sketch, or ditch that and put his name under it? Or maybe go a step further and put "Bass Fishing" and make it actually look like a logo? That last one might be too time consuming though...

This is what I expected Honoka too look like before her reveal. I got pirate vibes from the teaser for some reason.

I wanted to try a very very different costume ^^ so here is my evil nurseman from doatec :)
These designs are exceptional. I'm not fond of pirates but Honoka's design pretty much hit spot on what I thought she was going to look like when we saw that first bit of her.

As for Ein...

This is the only design for him I see but never the less it's the best thing I've ever seen for him and likely will be what they pick.

As for my own idea, I'm unable to draw... but I may as well tell what it was. It would have been a vampire hunter black battlesuit with a trenchcoat and shades. A gun belt, maybe some knives on the front, kinda like blade or the vampires from underworld. Would probably look very similar to his DOA3 C1 but with some enhancements.

With a few alterations of course but you get the general idea. No swords though, those are for Hayate.

Maybe have him wearing a fishing hook with lure on his back like a katana sword.

I considered mounting a small fishing rod to his back like the weapons other character have, but then it would partially cover up the fish picture. I suppose that's not a big deal though. I'll give it a shot and see how it turns out.

I imagine the face mask would be removed if TN picked this thoughs cool as Ein looks with Hayate's masks that's also the problem.

ES seems to like the asymetrical sleeve thing, personally I'd have both sleeves rolled up but that's me.
