YaoiCon Cosplay - Aridos
Jumping in on the pokemon cosplay train! One of my cosplays for YaoiCon (aside form the super one one I'm looking forward to) is going to be the spider-type pokemon, Aridos. Originally, I was going to base what I'm making off of this:
But I'm not too fond of the whole shorts deal going on. Then after lots and lots of looking, I thought that trying to find yellow boots was impossible. So I ended up redesigning it a bit. One, to fit my figure, two, to appeal more to my tastes, and three, to make it less complicated for myself. I also tried playing the other bits of the pokemon into the costume more than in the drawing above, like adding the horn and pincers and the little stinger. Below is my redesign that I'll be pulling off :
So yeah. Should be lots of fun. XD Erick's making my...arm/wing things and the rest shouldn't be too tricky. Just figuring out the proper measurements of the spats, I think. But should be a blast. Will be my first cosplay with shiny pleather which should be....interesting.
