During your career as a cosplayer, kig, furry or anthro kig, you are bound to get some criticism about any part of your character and/or costume. Here's a few of my thoughts on handling them.

Some of those criticisms maybe public, like on your social media feed

Others might be semi-private, like over a messenger or group chat

Others might be private, like direct messages or emails.

Some of these criticisms may be constructive, others may not be.

When getting criticism, consider first on which side of the fence the criticism is. Are they providing constructive feedback -- saying where something is not quite right, and/or suggesting how to improve it? Comments such as "the ponytail needs to be a bit higher" is GOOD feedback and should be considered as an improvement.

Or, are they providing an opinion which is not constructive feedback, such as "the costume is too short/long" or "that is freaky". These comments should be ignored. Comments by anonymous users should generally be ignored -- they are almost always trolls, anyway.

When considering improvement feedback from constructive criticisms, be aware that you cannot, and should not satisfy every comment. Some of those comments, while they may be valid, may not necessarily be correct for how you envisioned your character to turn out.

Her gloves are different colours depending on the art. Here's a couple of sample artworks from the internet. Are my gloves the correct colour? Yes and no....
