Tina DOA5U Costume Contest Entry (with LINK)

Description

This is my entry for the Team Ninja Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate Costume Contest.

I selected Tina Armstrong for this for 2 major reasons; she is favourite character and has been for the last 12 years since DOA2, and as some of you may already know, I have some experience designing wrestling gear, so this just fit perfectly.

The design is a Luchador Hunter. The idea being that Tina was a Heel (wrestling bad-guy) during her early years touring the international circuit. I love the look of female Japanese gear. I selected purple as the primary colour as Tina's other costumes are mainly red and blue, and I wanted to do something new.

The outfits over all theme is Duality. Even though she is consumed with "hunting" luchadors and removing their masks, her outfit itself if a contradiction. Each side from her head, trunk, arms and legs is not symmetrical and don't match. I chose this specifically to push the idea that she is a villain, so outwardly focused on her goal, that she can't see what she herself has become.

Tina Armstrong and the Dead or Alive series belong to Team Ninja.

Maybe she'll have this costume for Dead or Alive 5 Last Round.
