Comments:
I have been wanting to re-make
this costume for quite some time now. She is one
of my absolute favorite characters dispite her
skimpy appearance. In the first game she wanted
to be a movie star, and in following darkstalkers/vampire
savior/night warrior games, she took care of children
and disquised herself as a nun because she thought
her appearance would scare people and they would
call her a freak and what not. I've been a long
time fan of the game, and I remember playing it
a lot in the old arcade in Northgate mall (which
is no longer there) along with Marvel vs Capcom
2. Felicia and Q-bee where always my choice characters,
and I sitll play them today. I always loved her
up-beat, perky personality. I took a few artistic
liberites in making this costume more modest.
There was no way I was going to glue strips of
fur to my body. D:
Since Felicia wanted to become
a movie star, I wanted to add a few glittery hints
to the costme. The claws are made from red fimo
with red glitter in it, and pink insides of the
ears are made with pink glitter stiff felt. It
doesn't show up well in photos though, but I like
it rather much. I'm using 3 different types of
fur for this costume. Short - for the paws/feet/body
fur, Medium - for the collar, and Long for the
tufts of fur on her wrists, feet, and ears.
The wig came pre-styled off of
eBay from reflections23. It was a drag queen wig
actually, and they sell them in lots of different
colors and styles. My friend Micha had bought
it for a late birthday present for me. Thanks
Micha!!! <3 I simply added the light blue extensions.
