Description Almost done now! Side view Blaziken, with the mask fully furred. In case you haven't noticed by now, it is in fact a shiny! It's not easy to tell from the pictures, but I did use a slightly metallic paint mixed with the red paint, so it glitters faintly. I wish the finish were more matte and less glossy, you might be able to detect the sparkles.

There seems to be too many of the larger feathers near the base there. I was thinking I should remove every other one until it no longer looks so crowded, what do you guys think? Leave your thoughts in the comments section belooooowwwwwww! (Please.)

Not on the internet that I know of. I went out in the full suit on Halloween, but only, like, two people even recognized it as a Pokemon. XD

And I don't have a good camera yet. (But someone leaked I'm getting one for Christmas, so expect better pictures sometime in January!)

I'm glad someone else feels the same with the feathers.
Thank you so much for commenting!
I'm so happy that so many people are interested in this sculpture!
But there is still much to be done. Back to work!

I do suggest a Pokemon with a human shape, like Blaziken is!

How about Zoroark?

Yes! I was thinking of doing Zoroark myself. I'm not sure how to go about his mane, but it'd be as easy as a werewolf costume.

Well i'm still quite a beginner at costumes, and im still searching for a job so i dont exactly have a lot of money lol

But if I DO do this, do you have any tips or do you know any good sites that could show like a tutorial on how to make stuff like this?

Oh yes, there's a whole BUNCH of how to's and places to get materials. I suggest doing at least 50 hours of research before starting. Here's a few links to get you started, and this is only the tip of the iceberg.

[link] <-- Set of basic tutorials

[link] <-- Good resource for tutorials & materials, but it hasn't been updated in a looooong time, so there are broken links.

[link] <-- this is Mama Q, aka Qarrezel, she's a pro at this

[link] <-- This is an essential, and must be one of the first things you do. And don't go buy cheepo duct tape to do it, get some real, strong duct tape. (even though it costs a bit more) You will thank yourself.

And of course reference images! This is the best Zoroark costume I've seen to date, if you're sticking with that one.

[link] <-- Zoroark and Ameterasu

[link] <-- Zoroark and a Pokemon trainer

Bonus link: [link] Zoroark himself!
