Shadow Lugia Costume Design

See the photos of my construction progress: [link]

Bwahahah! Behold the efforts of my March 2nd broadcast: the finalized Shadow Lugia costume design :>

Obviously this is the latest and greatest project that I'm pumping out for this year's annual Pokemon cosplay group: Legendary Pokemon. Unfortunately we don't have as many participants as we did last year with the Eeveelution group, but we've got some awesome costumes coming your way: Groudon of course also being done by me. Rayquaza and Kyogre are joining me as well! As secondary costumes, Toxicroak and my final Pokemon project this year, Armaldo are going to be walking around as well. Update: Deoxys and Jirachi are now canceled.

Shadow Lugia, or Dark Lugia as some call it, is the featured Pokemon of the game Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness. It's the only Pokemon that takes on a different appearance in evil shadow form... which only makes it THAT MUCH MORE BADASS! RWAR! >:U

This costume will be sporting some sweet features that you haven't seen in my costumes before. I'm going to be working with shiny fabric to match its skin in the games (not satin anymore, I've upgraded to "ultra cuddle" stretch fur that's got a shine to it). It'll have plenty of foam padding to give it a digitigrade look. The eyes will light up and be evil like that. Of course he'll have a moving jaw because what's my costumes without a moving jaw? XD

If you've got any questions, just hollar! I look forward to building him... THIS THURSDAY!

That's right, Thursday March 4th I'll be broadcasting live video of the head construction process on Ustream. Click for more info:
