Body shape help with cosplay suit?

[Lauren Moore]

Hello there, gremlins! I'm going to be working on a Storm King cosplay suit for next year's Bronycon, and I have a few questions that I could use some advice for

For the chest, I’d suggest initially carving the chest muscles to be more angular or square, and then gently rounding out the edges (the overall square-ish shape helps prevent a feminine look, as a feminine form generally is more curvy and rounded than a masculine one). For the waist, I’d suggest shaving down the fur to be pretty short, and then wrapping the costume pieces a little tightly (but not too tightly, it should still be somewhat comfortable). I would suggest using long pile fur on the legs and somewhat thin padding, because long pile fur tends to add a little bulk. You should look up Sparkys “Slim Digitigrade Leg” tutorial on YouTube; it would very likely help you a lot for both the chest and the leg muscles! I’m not sure how to do the hair though; maybe try looking at other costumes that have hair and see which one would suit your design best. ^.^
