It's good to see you again.

I like that award, "Most faithful recreation." Man, you're too good atht his stuff, winning awards each year at multiple conventionts. I usually only think of the most complicated looking costumes to be winners (and they usually are), but when you create everything from scratch, a costume like this that has finer, less noticeable details, and a character that probably few people would recognize, you still win over the judges and crowd. From the book close ups, that image looks almost perfectly symmetrical. Did you make the chains, too?
