Description I'll give you the full story on this one.

I tend to pull all nighters, accidently if not willinging, during the summer. Late at night I tend to get bursts of creative inspiration and I go insane with painting, drawing and creating costumes. Now I was itching to make a costume, and I'd already painted Plato and drawn Electra/Jem. And then it occured to me: I could turn my halfass Quaxo into an awesome Tugger!

Yeah... well, the mane is funny colour wise as I literally had a bag of misc and random fluffs that were left over from previous costumes, and I stuck them all on there for the mane. Needless to say the colours weren't to bad; at least they weren't red xD aha.

The gold paint was actually some random fabric paints my bros dads girlfriend gave me. (Yeah, she's weird) But the paint worked well and it gave it the right look. The black paint for the spots was Tulips Slick black, and the black for the rest of the uni was Jaquards watered down. (that had been done awhile ago though).

As you probably noticed the tail is actually my Demeter tail but hey; it worked and I really didn't feel like making an entire new tail. Well, I was totally up for that I just don't have anymore gold/yellow yarn left. Hmph.

The wig is just my basic brown with that I use for most make ups. I tried to stlye it to look good for Tugger for the meantime, but I ended up giving him an emo-flip-wanna-be look XD lmao It was alright though, I don't think it looks/ed so bad.

Belt is just a random black belt I had in my closet. Actually belongs to my mum, as do the boots I'm wearing. Gloves are just mittens I cut the fingers off of, and the collar is just my basic studded collar I made from dollerama braclet thingys.

Make up is iffy, and very unoriginal and undetailed. This bothers me but I can't be bothered to redo it because I'm getting rather sleepy as I stayed up all night, as you know. So this is my new costume, let me know what you think. You're opinion is important as I'd like to know how I did.

Keep in mind this costume has gone from Demeter (coloured with Marker) painted over in more vibrant colours to make another Demeter, paint AGAIN to fix my previous Demeter (yes I kept modifying her), painted over to make Quaxo, and now it's Tugger. This unitards has been through a lot poor thing.

Love the costume! Also, quick question. How did you make the mane? Just hot glue fluffies onto the unitard or did you use a base of something that can be taken off the unitard? I'm still trying to decide if I should make my pure black unitard into a Quaxo costume or make it into Tugger.... Sigh... After my train wreck of Bombalurina, I may lean closer to Tugger since I don't want to do alot of white details with a whiteout marker/ white fabric pen....

I hot glued fluffies onto a separate shirt and wore it over the unitard.

I totally understand what you mean about creative bursts! Inspiration is not a faucet you can turn on and off, it comesand goes, and when it's going, well, who are we not to follow? I do my best at night! You and the costume look totally fabulous and I love you posing with the cat and the hat!
