- Title: Genie

Description:
In Islam and pre-Islamic Arabian folklore, a genie (aka jinn, and djinn) is a supernatural creature which possesses free will, and are known for leading humans astray. Genies are known for wearing for crowns, and other valuables including gold and silver. Other genie traits, which are most notable due to pop-culture, include coming from a lamp, granting wishes, etc; which this is a cosplay of.
The fabulous reference art is done by my close friend,

- Congrads on winning 3rd place and for all of those who say this belongs in the original arena get a clue. Now, if she was trying to make up her own genie then I could agree but clearly this shows a genie depicted in an Islamic Arabian view regardless whether or not it was done by her friend. So shut the hell up about it and congradulate her instead of being haters... Again kudos to the artist biggrin

- I would assumed that even though genie is a vague generalization, I would have thought it would belong in the cosplay since genies weren't my original idea. But what ever, what's done is done, and I'm get quiet tired of people bashing me over a simple mistakes; just move on, no matter how much you b***h, I'm still going to be ranked three in the cosplay arena.

- the reason why the arenas were separated in the first place was because originals and cosplays are judged differently. Originals are judged based on the artistic and aesthetic rendering of an avatar, while cosplays are judged based on the closeness and originality in matching the specific character cosplayed using the items Gaia has provided.

- While it's an excellent avatar, it really should have gone in the original arena. Not just because it's not a cosplay but it really would have made me feel better about the quality of the winners. You would have done the Original justice. ;-; @razorlines- even if they didn't come up with the idea of genies, it doesn't belong here because she's not dressing up as a specific character. It doesn't have to be anime, it just has to be a specific character.
