Title: Anyone see that MUDKIP Pokemon Cosplayer?
Post by: SarKastiQ1773 on May 30, 2007, 08:07:58 PM
I really want a full blown cosplay mascot outfit like that one mudkip.

I want either a mudkip or any other pokemon mascot outfit or even better yet a Kon mascot outfit lol.

Anyone know where i can get one?

Heh, that Mudkip was me.
As for the costume, I made it. My father helped with the head (It was wire frame and needed to be sautered(sp)) and I used an old costume pattern for the body.

I'm glad you liked it though.

There are various tutorials around the web that could probably help you, or you could probably commission a fursuiter to make you one.

How much did it cost you overall

@ everyone: :D Thanks for all the compliments, it's really made my day.

@SarKastiQ1773: Well, it depends on how you're going to make it, and the quality of the fabric you use, and how well you can actually estimate how much of each fabric you'll need. Also, you need to figure out if you're going to make a wire-frame head, or one out of foam.

I'd prefer wire-frame.
It's more reliable than foam, but if you get glomped you could get face-pwnd.

...if you use foam and you get glomped, well... you lose your mudkip.

Actually, the comment about glomping was a major problem for me, because I almost got knocked down when multiple people ran up from behind me and glomped me with no warning. x_X I thought I was going to fall and break my nose or teeth. So, major suggestion to anyone thinking of trying to pull off a costume like this... have a dedicated friend to be a "handler" of sorts, basically, to help out with vision if it's crowded, and to stop people who look like they're going to attempt a glomp.

Hugs are gooood.... glomps are baaaaad.

Yes indeed. Much more room for circulation, and I have a feeling it was easier for a first attempt than foam would have been.
