"This is a costume I've worked on on-and-off since 2004. I'd hit a problem and decide to take a looong break... then come back to it like 6 months later. It's not even that hard a costume... I just for whatever reason didn't have that much fun making it, and I guess it's just something I didn't want to stress about. :> I'm not even sure I'm that pleased with it in the end... but we'll see what I end up doing with it..."
