yo I made this all myself (ignore the crappy makeup and wig I’m still learning)

i love this girl so much bro (people got mean on main sub)

hallo! im 15 and been cosplaying since I was about 11 and ever since then I have been completely hand making my own cosplays. I completely get sewing and all the parts of cosplay are skills that get learned over time, however I feel like my skills are good enough to win a tiny local event. i have not once won a competition for cosplay for anything. I patterned and crafted this all completely myself and everything was lined with thought and care. the competition needed atleast 80% handmade to enter and I got a bit upset at the end when a furry who had made just made a head and admitted to me that their parents made the rest for them (It also wasn’t a complete fursuit) I went home and got really upset because it feels like my work hasn’t been appreciated ever by outside sources. Anyways! Any tips on how to improve my cosplay or how to make loosing suck any less is much appreciated:)

hallo!! I’m 15 and crafting recently! any sort of direct improvements to my cosplay I could make? I completely patterned it by hand and everything is neatly lined however if people want to see more craftsmanship I will send over photos! the judges at prejudging didn’t even stand up to look at my work so I was wondering if something was glaringly obvious that made it look a bit crap? any and all help is appreciated!
