It's face has a close likeness to the reference picture too, best chocobo I've seen! =)

All of my love and respect! <3

<3 so proud of all your hard work

Amazing!

This is amazing. I love you as Zack and the Chocobo is outstanding! You totally deserved your place and you did us all proud!

Awwww CUTE!! You look awesome! And what a brill idea to make a chocobo costume like that :D *two BIG peace signs :P*

You never ever fail to amaze me of your construction and mechanical skills! *_* The puppet chocobo is so unique that I'm surprised u didn't get an award! D: Nevertheless not only do you make an amazing Zack but you have made the UK cosplayers proud! xx

Wow, the Chocobo is fantastic - it looks so lifelike O_O. The Zack costume is really good too :) Very impressive costume

That's incredible! The chocobo face is so cute, you really got the details perfect. Hope you'll bring it out again to a UK event too :)

this is just...... amazing! Astounding work yet again hun!

Still love how perfectly in proportion the chocobo is. Fantastic detailing, you looked great on stage!

Thanks guys. I had such a brilliant time in Paris. I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity. Everyone I met was lovely and I'm inspired to keep working on cosplay. There's still so much to learn. Thank you again for all your support.

HOLY SHIT. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
this. this.... is just amazing.
I WANT ONE ;-;
Nomes, you are well and truly talented, keep sharing your awesome gift <3 this has made my life a little more complete <3

Oh wow! This is fantastic! The proportions and details are perfect.

oh my god!!!! <3 Amazing work!

Oh my gosh, this is so impressive! *_*
Well done for all your hard work!

That looks brilliant Nomy. Amazing!! I want to ride it. I want! I want! I want :3

<3 This is so cute.

Gah! So awesome! Featherrrrrrrs~

Good grief, how many feathers are on that thing?! I don't think I've seen a fully feathered chocobo before, most people use fur - your willingness to go the extra mile for accuracy is inspiring :)

oh man this is amazingggg~ <3

I saw a picture of this on Facebook and thought it was amazing!! I didn't realise it was you. This is so AWESOME!!

^_^ Thanks everyone. Hearing from you all makes the time and effort that much more worth it.

Odangochan: erm... a few thousand feathers? I purchased about 17,000 feathers as I ended up having to buy them in bulk (unreliable supplier). I probably have enough left to make another Chocobo XD

You could make a herd of Chocobos with that many feathers! So worth it though, it looks amazing :D

Wow! Just wow! I mean it looks like the real thing! Just wow! Well done!

This is just radical!

Absolutely fantastic!!!

AMAZING! wish i could ride it.

Wow! Eurocosplay! Eurocosplay! Enter it into Eurocosplay! :D

Thats beautiful and amazingly cute at the same time. Those feathers must have taken forever, its the most realistic one I've seen.

Thank you all for the lovely comments.

Ranmasyaoran: XD Thank you so much for thinking this worthy of EC. Maybe one day. This cosplay has already been used in a european coslay comp though and even though it didn't win and there are no rules against it I would feel iffy entering the same outfit into a second european competition

Larxene: Many feathers and many contact adhesive fumes. It's taken a long time to get rid of the bits of feather fluff from around the house.

i love this hun it's so cute and such a good idea :D

Good grief - just stunning!

Amazing work! Looks like you've been pulled right out of the game!

OMG! I love this. Fantastic work.

LOVE IT!
So wonderfully made!
