A month before Anime Expo 2015 we decided to make Pokemon costumes! Specifically Charizard’s Mega evolutions, X and Y. We used a hollow foam body technique because we wanted the costumes to really convey creature proportions yet stay as light as possible. We first started out with looking at a bunch of Charizard concept art, screenshots, etc. and began mapping out how to put a person somewhere in there.
first off that anish kapoor portrait made me laugh for the first time in two days (i'm super sick and gross feeling) but also i have a question for you. i've noticed that you and a lot of other artists always put down a base color that's a lot darker than the true color of an object. what's the benefit of doing that?
Because I’m a Sherlock AU addict and have too much free time on my hands, I decided to start turning my dumb anthro siamese catlock into a fursuit partial. Don’t worry, I’m not too crazy, and have other costume ideas and events for this kitty as well.
I originally wasn’t going to publish progress, but there are so many materials I’ve been having sour luck finding in-store.
I figured that I would put up a photoset of the progress of my Dragon Loki instead of letting the WIP photos float around my computer for all of eternity. I would have included a page of the original design sketches, but most of them are either lost among ten foot stacks of other sketches in my room, or not worth the effort it takes to put them up.
1. Design sketches, material decisions, color picking, etc (this specific picture was arranged so that I could show people what I was planning to work on. I loosely used the image in the middle of it when I was looking for materials) 2. Shaping of upholstery foam base and glove base. 3. (My personal favorite stage and photo) Addition of tail and horns; posing with suit on to see how everything works together in terms of shape and overall look. 4. Everything finished except for detailing and cleaning up (Eyes, dreadlocks, reinforcement of the teeth, and scales are not yet complete). Getting to this stage involved tons of pattern-creating, improvisation, sewing, and copious amounts of hot glue. 5. Complete!
