/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Anyone have any suggestions for a Raticate gijinka? preferably for a male, but little artwork of either gender seem to exist.

Was thinking something like OP's pic, brown hoodie with the ears and possibly whiskers attached. zipped up or zipless and baggy to better capture the sort of round/pear shape Raticate and real rodents have. maybe a pink belt to show the tail

Was thinking about making two rat teeth shaped daggers out of foam, to represent Hyper and Super Fang respectively. Maybe give the costume a more menacing look given his reputation as an evil / Team Rocket Pokemon.

Been pondering how i could go about doing a Raticate Gijinka

I was thinking of pursuing the 'Dirty Rat' angle and modeling it upon a typical rogue/troublemaker stereotype, having some kind of hoodie up to incorporate the ears and tuft of brown fur on it's head, plus a scruffy tan wig and general baggy jeans/clothing to represent it's wide mass, plus me being quite a big guy

I'm liking the idea of having a pair of pearl white curved daggers to represent the rat's teeth (Hyper and Super Fang respectively) and then the tail could just be a tail, or some kind of belt around the waist

Kind of feel I'm taking it in to violent of a direction for Pokemon cosplay though. Any ideas?
