Re: Random: This Guy Makes Incredible, Wearable 16-Bit Cosplay

@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?

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.
