@Mr_Persona I've tried taping and it wasn't faster, given that I have years of practice doing this. It was only helpful once when I painted a Pac-Man maze mural for an NJ game store because of the long lines on the maze. It's also not perfectly clean and requires touch ups unless you take the time to seal it. (Sealer and tape end up costing extra money...) In any case, my painting is tight enough that the average person in real life thinks that the painted ones are printed. Out of the four in this article, (Chozo, Error, Minecraft Steve, Samus, Silver/Red Space Pirate, Spider-Man, Stormtrooper, Yoshi) six of those are painted and three are printed. Can you tell the difference at the distance of the photographer?
@ChromaticDracula There's a video of my Stormtrooper up there. And if you want to see more, the links to my social media pages are in the article. Or here > https://linktr.ee/dan_cattell_art
@Mr_Persona Actually, I don't do taping on my costumes. You can watch some of my time lapse videos to see me free-hand it. The planning and math of it can actually be kind of deceptively tricky though.
@BigJoeCool Hey! I'm the Space Pirate artist! You actually saw my good friend and collaborator, Gioia, in her Metroid Zero Mission Chozo Statue! I did my Chozo back in 2010 and she's come up with two of her own versions since then.
Hey, Nintendo Life! That's me! This is my fifth pixel costume and I've been doing them since 2010. You can check out my work at @dan_cattell_art (Instagram) and Dan Cattell Art (Facebook)! I also run a Facebook group called Metroid Cosplay.
If you want to see the costume from the front, Charles Martinet just posted a video on Instagram.

@FX102A Hey! I wasn't involved with the article, but I have done 8-bit costuming before!
Re: This Metroid Space Pirate Cosplay Takes a Different, Retro Approach
@Monkey_Balls Lol, I'm going to quote you when I post about my costume to the Metroid Cosplay group.
Re: This Metroid Space Pirate Cosplay Takes a Different, Retro Approach
@Ooyah Thank you so much!
Re: This Metroid Space Pirate Cosplay Takes a Different, Retro Approach
@nesrocks Yeah, this Space Pirate is my fifth pixel costume. My first three were from Super Metroid, as well.

Re: This Metroid Space Pirate Cosplay Takes a Different, Retro Approach
@Gold_Ranger Hey! I'm the artist who did the Space Pirate! That Link was by OrngeJuice for a 2011 Halloween party. He was inspired by my first two pixel costumes, Chozo and Samus. https://orngejuice.deviantart.com/art/Zelda-II-Adventure-of-Link-266511691
