- Pics: A few holiday-themed pics up on Deviant Art. Here is another look at UDON’s Konami Christmas card that was mentioned a few days back, and here is a steamy Princess Peach pin-up (nothing showing) that Sigurd Hosenfeld drew. Timon Hakuna Matata has Blaze and Cream in winterwear, and even some Yuletide Cheer from the Zelda gang, courtesy of Sigurd Hosenfeld again.
Toad gets his turn with Santa, thanks to Baull04, and Hulk has some bad plans for Whoville, thanks to Tentu. And finally, instead of using someone else’s character, JigglyPuffGirl built her own Robot Master for the job.

So for Christmas I get featured in yet another stupid “bad cosplay” article. Great.
Oh, I’ve met Captain Lou Albano, in person. Nice guy!

I’m the Wario. I show up on these threads / posts a lot because they say I’m too big to do the character I’m cosplaying. But then when I do fat characters I still get criticized. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t I guess. ::shrug::

Hmm, I thought the Wario one was pretty good; I’d just recommend looking into a big fake nose. Points on the shoes would be a plus, but understandable if you can’t get that to work.
