I know you're new here, but do make an effort to not be entirely creepy. Right now, you're doing a bad job at it. Reel it in dude.
Yeah, sorry bout' that... I can see where this might come off threatening.:facepalm
Like I said, no disrespect intended. I'm not really perving your girlfriend as much as you may think here. I have my own "Sara Pezzini" I've been wanting to build this for, for years. Been in love with the character and story since high school.
I've followed the few WB costumes over the years and they really just haven't hit the mark. The best hit I've seen until PrincessZelda's version has been that bodypainted one, and while it has the overall shape, in my world it doesn't count.
The movie didn't even hit the mark. It had the WB itself, and the tough-chick playing Sara, but that's where it lived and died.
PZ blazed a trail here. The method was sheer genius. Effectively, much of the costume I envisioned embodies what your gf executed, in minimal time and likely a lower cost than I was anticipating. It's nowhere NEAR the method I envisioned and I love it even more for that. My reluctance has purely been centered upon not knowing 1)How it'd actually look 2) How functional 3) Would it stay on?
If you go back to my earlier posts in this thread, I've asked direct questions that relate specifically to this. I really DO wonder about the construction, and you can only hint and beg for so long. I'm not going to beg you to post a full out wiki on this, I know it's time consuming. The pic of WB from behind was purely to prompt a response that says "I didn't go that thin on the back!" or, "I opted for a full cut on the back."
Your gf is beautiful, but there are lots of beautiful women on the RPF, and that were at Dragoncon. Realistically, it is a shock that such a well portrayed WB doesn't have more photos centered on her?
There's one photo with a time stamp on it where PZ is holding up the WB and it's a full shot. I thought "My god... that's Witchblade".
I'm not expecting all her secrets to be given away. I just can confidently say that the methods I have in mind for joining the front to the back of the brief area are going to work... that the thong concept I had in mind for mine just might not work very well...
In a pervert world, hoo-ha's and booty are kind of the ringing theme, but in a cosplay environment, the acting/demeanor needs to be on point as much if not more than the costume. In WB's case, a costume with so few pieces and that is potentially THIS volatile, one bad move in a stride and our Witchblade is showing her business to a bunch of guys ALREADY snapping photos. It's a fine line, literally. :confused
Anyway, sorry to be so creepy. Not my intent. The fanaticism really isn't any different than someone worrying about whether a batman cowl has 2 or 3 inch ears... it just happens that this character is a really tricky outfit based around the female form. I would have been this forthcoming over any WB so well executed. I hope this clears things up?
But all of the photoshoots I did had several backside posing. Sadly, I've only recovered one image from the photoshoots, which I have to say is AWESOME and my favorite so far:
