It wouldn’t be complete without my twinnie, with whom I’ve been matching for years:

Theme:
With May comes MapleStory's anniversary!
The overall scheme celebrates the game’s iconic red maple leaf in both the shape of the hat, as well as the more subtle wings. Together, they contrast the rounder centerpiece: MapleStory’s classic monster, the Ribbon Pig. This monster’s chubbiness is further captured in the Sparkling Face used, which has similar chubby cheeks in most facial expressions.
It wouldn’t be a party without some cake, so I chose the Soft Chocolate Fondue Scepter with its tasty decors that are reminiscent of cake pops. I also used a chocolate-colored hair to tie the look together. To wrap it all up, the gloves mimic the ribbon embellishments of a real birthday present.
Thank you for the memories; now, here is our gift to you.
Theme:
This outfit was created to commemorate completing my AbsoLab spear. I've always been a sucker for pretty poking sticks, so when AbsoLabs were released, I just knew I had to make this beauty my new main weapon. It took a while to actually acquire the bloody thing, then just as long to make it usable, but I must say that it was well worth the wait. Seeing as this contest made a return the very same month, I decided, "Why not? Let's celebrate the occasion!"
Anyway, enough backstory, let's get to the real point. And an important point it is, because I designed this look to emphasize the pointiness that defines a good spear. From the label to the ears, the general idea is to flare out in all directions. Besides their inherent pointy factor, the wings were equipped to give the illusion of a pike at the tail end of the spear. On top of it all, I threw in silver hair and a yokai face to paint a pseudo nine-tailed fox impression.
It seems this year we're having Halloween in April. I've got my costume, do you have yours?
