[UzumakiNah]

Hello Lanma-san. i need your help :( i´m making my lucario cosplay, but i have a problem, i ´don´t know how make lucario´s tail. could you help me please. How did you do the tail? i realy like it.

thank you, and sorry, my english is so bad XD

[SushiNinja99]

You should have used the furry paws and put the spikes on it! I have those paws and that's what I am going to do for my cosplay in May 2012 LondonExpo ^_*

[JaysPlace20]

Very nice. The face was a little off and the head were a little thin, but considering it was home made that's very impressive. I know you did this a couple years ago, but is there any way you can get the tail to stick up like it does with the actual character? The way it's dragging on the ground here it looks like you might accidentally step on it

[lanmanamel]

@JaysPlace20 Yep, when I fixed it up for my local convention I used fishing wire. It's nearly invisible and pretty strong. The tail stopped dragging on the ground but instead of sticking straight outward it curled up to my side. It was the best solution I could think of at the time though ^^'

[JaysPlace20]

@lanmanamel Whatever works. I actually just realized I made a typo with my original post. I meant to say the HIPS were a little thin, not the HEAD. He does tend to have large rounded hips lol

[mrvoice2000]

Is there like any more detailed instructions on some website or something, because i'd really like to know

[KingArmorKing]

just curious how much did all the materials cost and how long did it take you to make it? (if you can remember anyway) Just wondering so cause i plan to make my own lucario suit

[cratormoon10]

That costume is totally AWESOME!

(Without the fur or anything, the head looked like a duck with a spartan helmet.)

[NemesiswillNIL8U]

You work out?

[TheLemonadeJellyfish]

This is really good. I was wondering how you stuck the foam together and stuck them to the shoes because I'm using a similar method for a chocobo costume. It would be a great help for your advice =]

[goodkid457]

really paid off didn`t it?

[waterxgirl]

This fucking awesome!!!!

[YABUKIbeta479]

3 people are jealious that u made a great costume!!

[SantaFishes101]

THATS YOUR FIRST COSTUME!!!?? :D

[lanmanamel]

@SantaFishes101 Haha no, but it's my first mascot-style costume! ^u^

[mkt778]

It needs more bones in various places, the entire thing needs to be shrunk. Making furry suits are hard, you first need to make a wooden or plastic skeleton that fits you. Then add various joints and rotating places (arms knees hips). The feet you made are too fat. To sum that up, make it tighter...

[TheEliteNerd]

I would make a blaziken costume if i knew how.......i would run around the streets with it on............i would make one if i could. know how?

[huntercole1]

Must Make One For My Cosplay

[lemonkylieworks]

muy pequeña la cabeza :C

[animestar102]

Awsomeness!!!!!!

[jheballard]

Awesome u really made that

[PokeNarutard]

You kinda need 2 make the bottom jaw more longer

[migle235]

furry

[lanmanamel]

@migle235 Just because I made a mascot-style costume, it doesn't make me a furry. I don't go yiffing around or wearing cat/dog/whatever ears and drawing anthro creatures doing it.

Would you call the people wearing the mascot costumes in Disneyland furries too? Just because they're wearing animal suits? Seriously. I'm into general cosplay, not creepy fetishes. ¬_¬

[migle235]

Actually, those furries wearing furry costumes in disneyland are furries. They are the only people who would want to get paid for wearing a furry suit.

[kakurady]

Actually, most furries don't wear fursuits and don't yiff anything that moves.

I agree that Disneyland cast members are most likely -not- furries.

Also, nice TalesWeaver music at 1:09. And it's funny for some reason to see you do the taunts at the end.

[KyoushuAbunai]

Umm...furry is not mostly about screwing each other in a fursuit... I have no idea what you've been seeing, but i have never seen an orgy at any of the furcons.

[lanmanamel]

@KyoushuAbunai Since it's apparent that youtube ate my reply to kakurady, I'll apologize again for the outburst. I take offense to what migle said, and I know he/she was trying to be insulting on purpose.

No matter what the true definition of "furry" is, I'm not one just because I made this costume and wore it on Halloween. Some people like being called a furry, and others see it as insulting. I take it as the latter.

[KyoushuAbunai]

well, you still called it a creepy fetish...have you seen the shit on the internet? Guro, Plushiphilia, Pedophilia, Zoophilia, Necrophilia, PYROPHILIA!

There are plenty worse fetishes than furry

[lanmanamel]

@KyoushuAbunai I'm running under the assumption that migle thinks of the term as a creepy fetish that only involves what I described before.

I have friends who are "furries", as in people who have fursonas and wear these costumes to furcons and such. I DON'T think they are disgusting people. What Migle meant when he called me a furry was something different, more serious, and hurtful.

[KyoushuAbunai]

ah, i understand now.

[amethystducky]

@migle235

Furry means someone who likes anthro animals. She likes pokemon but not anthros.

[migle235]

Furry means someone who wants to be or thinks they'are an aminal. Weather it be a cat, whorse or wale.

[amethystducky]

@migle235

No it doesn't. Thats a Therianthrope. Furry is just an offset of Scifi for more Anthro-characters.

[migle235]

Actually furie means someone who likes penises in theyr'e but.

[amethystducky]

No Furie is a artist from San Francisco but I guess some of his work can be considered furry. He's the man behind the Feels Good Man Frog.

[Dragonanimefox]

The tail suppose to be shorter. Not that long

[aura984]

that face is scary XD

[ChaoticVirusV14]

Lol nice i wish i still lived near da great lakes =C

[lucariokiddo]

if i knew how i'd be making 1! i'd be the star at parties!

[Bakugan924]

hehe! like like it! :D

[Silversparta]

I would definitely but one if you made it for sale. My boyfriend would hate me lol. I love pokemon that much tho xD

[Silversparta]

OH my god this is greatt :] You have great skill and an amazing way to use it lol. Love that.

[lanmanamel]

Thank you! Glad you like it. ^^

[AnthonyL35]

dude you made my favorite pokemon costume i wish i had that costume

[lanmanamel]

Well if ever I sold it, you would have to be my size to wear it. XD

[AnthonyL35]

i know

[Walawalacookie]

This is bloody amazing! I wish that I were as multitalented as you are.

[RASMProductions]

Effing amazing, did you make that by urself?

[lanmanamel]

Yep. Unfortunately, I don't have anyone nearby who can make their own cosplay outfits with me. :(

[BoraTheMapler]

EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC WIN!!!!!

[lanmanamel]

Thanks!

[BoraTheMapler]

ITS TRUE

[xxxMaxi]

*point*

YOU USED A PATTERN?! !GASP!

It looks EPIC :D

-Billy Bob

[lanmanamel]

Nope, no pattern. I just made it. That's how I roll. ^^

[xxxMaxi]

There was a shoe/foot pattern on the fabric! :D You drew it before cutting it out.

[lanmanamel]

Oh, well yeah. I have to make my own patterns though. I don't go out and get any pre-made ones or anything. ^^'

[xxxMaxi]

I know that much. xD

Are you only doing Lucario this year at AN? Or are you going to join with Meagan and I in epic costume making before that? o:

[lanmanamel]

Oh crap, it's YOU! Sorry, didn't recognize the username for a sec there. XD And I wouldn't mind doing another costume. In fact, I'm kind of craving either some Dissidia cosplays or Megaman ZX Advent ones. I'm not sure if the latter is your cup of tea though. O.O'

[xxxMaxi]

Haha, I signed it billy bob, thinking you'd get it :P

Ooh, then there needs to be epic making! :D I have no idea on the specific of what that is BUT WE CAN DO IT!

[dragonlover814]

awesome :D

[PresidentLucario]

Is this for halloween or something?

[lanmanamel]

It's for that, and the next Anime North convention in May.
