My Badtzumaru costume gets messed up...it'd suck so bad. :(.

Ok, I"m curious, how many people are wearing a white shirt, jacket, tie, and a fedora with pumas? That was going to be my outift but it seems as a lot of people are doing so...

This might cause me change my outfit...maybe a cape will be awesome with a cane.

Oh man, when I first read the title of this thread I was like," WTH, is he asking what I think he's asking?"

Apart from that, today I turned 22 and I'll still be attending the CON as long as I'm interested in anime. Plus I'll be living in the city soon after the CON. So I'm real excited!!!

Hotel-50
Food-50-80
Dealers Room- 100-300
Fun stuff- ?
I guess it'd be around 600...probably 200 less then that.

Maybe my Badtzu-Maru suit with a black Suit. :D

NICE! It wont be uber hot and hard to move! *jumps with joy*

Nice, thanks a bunch. :D

Well I think I'm going to make a few other items I will be able to put on the costume.

I've been going to the fabric store for like two weeks just looking for fabric and online too. I'm going to order it online because it is so much cheaper. I've thought about every detail carefuly. :)

What about a Badtz-Maru costume with a coat? :P

Well the choices have been made on what material to use and I've placed some order. I'm going to be using moleskin for the body and head of the suit. Jersey knit for the stomach cause it has the fury effect. Wonderflex for the eyes since it can basically be molded and painted the way I want. Wire for the heads shape, and some foam for the paddig inside the head. A re-shapened foam block for the beak.

I'm thinking of also making a suit for the costume for the black and white ball, what do you all think?

Well let me know how it all sounds to you. :) I"ll probably post some pics once i get this costume rolling. Wish me luck!!

I was wondering if anyone new about a way of changing the name of the attendee on the badge to be able to attend Fanime? My friend paid his badge off and is not going to attend the convention after all, I was wondering if it is possible to change the name on the badge?

I was thinking of using fur for the body and lining the inside so i could stuff it with cotton to give it the contour shape and squishyness. I also thought about using felt for the eyes. The head would be the hardest part and chicken wire sounds easy as the base for the head. If you have any more ideas send them this way, or any good places to buy cheap fabrics.

I want to make a Badz-Maru cosplay costume for Fanime this year. Id like for anyone to give me some tips on what type of fabric to use for the body and how to make the head. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
