This costume took up about 9 days of my life making it.

Mod Edit: Nice, but please learn the value of thumbnails.

Thanks mods! I was getting the links again, you beat me too it. Cheers!

i think you need to learn about optimization...
did you actually look at the filesizes after they were done?

that looks like way too much effort
I preferred to go for the minimalist approach for my robot compo entry.

fucking awesome job though

*poke*COMPO IT!

Optimize or linky plees.

Edit: *regains mannirs* sorry to be a dick but there's been a spate of huge pics on the board recently.
No-one seems to care about filesizes any more, but there are still plenty of dial-uppers who come here.

sorry pal
i haven't been on here for a fortnight, this costume has drained my life. And I'm weeks behind with dissitation work too. I've lost the links
(Gen Graie Wherever you are, whatever you do,LOOK AROUND YOU, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 17:02, archived)

No problem
it's my pet peeve at the moment and I need to get over it. Your costume is great and I'm very happy to see it :)

haha - mofaha refluffs, and the world begins to turn on its axis once again. :)

Photos are much smaller as JPGs rather than GIFs.
At this size you're likely to use up your ImageShack badwidth very quickly indeed!

Top work though, no less.
( Kamikaze Stoat, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 16:57, archived)

that's fucking ace!
1.5mb in a single post though, you might want to link a few of those ;)

That's very good.
But make it a link.

9 days well spent.

Very nicely done
do you turn into a car after doing a gay dance routine?
( maiden mixing metaphors since 1624, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 17:00, archived)

pffft!
that gives me an idea for my next proj.. oh wait. bugger.
(insy official camel tamer, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 17:07, archived)

negative
the gay dance tires me out too much to do anything after

flickr is good at photos.
but WOO!
( MrA, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 17:10, archived)

that's an absolutely awesome costume!

(piffpuffpickle, Sun 30 Oct 2005, 17:11, archived)

That (your costume) is effin' (fucking) brilliant!
A compo (competition) winner fo' sho' (for sure).

Well done!
Your costume pees all over my effort! Heh-heh. As one cardboard crafter to another, I very much appreciate the blood, sweat, tears and glue of such a creation. Next year I'm wearing a white sheet with two holes cut out, mind . . .

paint myself green and screw two bolts into my neck
