My Lucario Cosplay, Start to Finish

This is my fist attempt at making a mascot-style costume, and here it is! My Lucario costume is made with blue arctic fleece, yellow faux fur and black and white vinyl.

Half of it is machine-sewn, and the vinyl parts are hand-sewn. There's also quite a bit of foam and stuffing in it to give it a better shape. The head is foam-based (for optimal discomfort and sweating, as I have now learned) and has a movable jaw, which right now is my only means of ventilation. I'll try to fix that later. ^^'

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

@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 ^^'

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.

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

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 ^_*

@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
