Beautiful work, nice and clean, no edges lifting from poor gluing and no over spray from any airbrushing or spray painting. Good color scheme and technique.
both costumes look to be made out of foam, looks like 1" thick EVA foam in some spots, and possibly craft foam in others, some issues seem to be showing with the raised flairs on the leg armor in the round bends where you can see bunching up of the material due to flexing. the edges of Ysera's greaves show the typical signs of being foam, showing the inside unsealed look you get when you cut it with a knife.
the painting on both costumes is great, nice smooth surfaces with no blotching or strange looking dark/light spots that are not supposed to be there, the patterned texture is very good, symmetrical, and neat. Both headpieces have fantastic detail, the horns have a very realistic look to them as well.
For her body paint it shows that her choker is rubbing as well as her chest armor, no complains, its just something to watch for in a photo shoot, maybe touch up after initial photography is finished.
Over all both costumes are excellent pieces and match the characters that they are based off of very well.
the only real Cons I have about them is to watch for wrinkling of the material and to seal the edges before painting with either a PVC glue compound or us a hot knife when cutting.

Alexstrasza cosplay is made with Worbla and weared only one time.
Ysera cosplay was weared more of ten times... that's why you can see bunching up of the material due to flexing.
