Hmmm, I'd say that female character is not less scantily clad, just that her ever increasing breasts have stretched the fabric rendering it incapable of complete coverage.
Oh, and I think it's funny that people would react all shocked that an Alexstraza costume would be slightly revealing... if it isn't you kinda did it wrong.
Hey man, not everyone knows who Alexstraza is. Hell, I only knew the character by name since I never got into WoW and the image of her I had in my head was not scantily clad.
However, to anyone who thought the pictures too revealing, let this be a lesson to you: RESEARCH!

If you don't know who Alexstraza is, you may not even realize it's a female.
Plus, not a whole lot of characters, I guess, but the point still stands.
I always found females in the nerd culture a hilarious phenomenon. Obviously they aren't as common as males in said culture but I find the reaction men have to "nerdy" women is just about the most amusing thing ever.
Over 5 years of playing WoW from beta to just after Ulduar came out(and was subsequently lolcleared in 18 fucking hours after release) I probably ran into 8 different women that raided with our core group and the reactions would almost always be divided into two groups.
The groupies, who would suck up and do ANYTHING to get female attention.
The assholes, who would all but crucify anything the girl did that drew attention to herself, regardless if it was just something someone would do if they fit it or not in an effort not to appear a groupie.
In the end they all universally wanted to be treated like well...another human being.
Regardless Alexstrasza is a hard costume to do properly and I commend the effort you put into making the outfit. Decent cosplay is hard to find, especially in America and you didn't do a bad job at all. Fun fact about the scantily "cladness" of the costume...Alexstrasza in the Wrath Beta was much more covered...and looked like a blood elf warlock.
When guys give cosplay/gamer girls or the like shit, it's because they're salty they can't tap said cosplay/gamer girls and that they themselves can't get attention. And guys who deny this are literally fooling themselves. Amazing, I know.

We all have ego's, and we all like them stroked. Anybody trying to insult you by calling you an attention whore is just jealous that they're so much less successful at it.
And possibly jealous that they can't look like that in that costume.
There's no shame in combining your hobbies in a way that makes you feel good about yourself, there's tons of shame in trying to make other people feel bad about themselves because you do.
So ignore the whiners.

Haha, thanks for your support. :/ While I appreciate the comments and discussions, one of the main reasons I have this as a public blog and not a private journal is to give me extra motivation to keep writing! Nothing like getting angry PMs to guilt me into keeping up my promise!
On that note you are falling way behind on the daily blog goal...
That is very true, but I get up for work at 4:15am and get home from work around 6pm, which leaves me beyond exhausted and generally brain dead.

Well, I can't believe anyone would be surprised by the photos at the end of my blog, since the ENTIRE BLOG is about how to make that outfit. It's not like I was hiding what the outfit was to suddenly surprise people at the end. I believe it's pretty clear how much coverage the costume is going to have, especially the chest piece and bottoms.

The best thing I ever found was my guild. They don't give a shit if you're male or female, and they'll treat everyone almost exactly the same. Truthfully, I generally avoid telling people my gender on WoW, because I hate being treated awkwardly when someone can't deal with there being boobs on the other side of the internet.
I vaguely remember masturbating to the blizzcon costume contest, making it the second time I've ever gotten aroused from a blizzard event (first being the female dwarf dance).

Avi-Love tells it like it is.
Cool Costume. Can't wait to see what you do at Blizzcon 2011. You should go Starcraft this time!

hey don't bash ulduar! it was the best instance in wrath (hard modes ofc) D:
Oh. I actually read this wrong but when I quoted you I saw my mistake. I thought you said it was the best instance since release. Dunno where I pull that out of.
However, I'll post it anyways, Kara was totally the coolest instance ever. Only place in the entire game that I unmute the sound+music.

I understand you like attention from nerds but there are other sites to post your goodies. We need more girls like NeverGG and less strippers.
To be honest, I agree with this guy. You say that that girls wear more revealing bathing suits all the time, but I don't think that's true. Tops, yes, but not bottoms. Maybe the problem was the material and the fit. I imagine it was hard to keep it from slipping.
I give you props for the creativity of fashioning a costume like this, but you should have given yourself more room for error on the bottom half.
