Aerodactyl Costume -2008

So I finally got around to taking photographs.

Please hit download to full view!


This is the second creature costume I've created featuring one of my Pokemon characters named Nero, a young Aerodactyl who partners alongside Kaida the Charizard Pokemorph (my 2007 costume). The mask features a moving jaw and of course wings attached to my wrist so I can flap around like an idiot wherever I go :3

The costume was started on April 26, 2008 and finished up May 31, 2008 in the hotel room at A-kon 19 in Dallas, Texas. Since then I've taken it to Nan Desu Kan 2008 where I entered my first cosplay competition and it won the Craftsmanship Judge's Award! It has been a great experience creating this costume and now I'm starting on my next Pokemon costume this week for the 2009 season. Stay tuned for updates and tutorials on my Flickr gallery and YouTube account!
