/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I love the official Pokemon mascots. I wish they had more than just Pikachu and the starters.

Melon Kuma da best. All other mascots are wimps. If I had the skills I would love to make a Melon Kuma mascot suit to cosplay in... Maybe some day.

there was a good one in a local con one or two years ago, cna't find it right now

I love the quality of this Totoro.

He's definitely the most badass! I'm impartial to Kumamon personally. He just looks so panicked lol.

>>9169207
Mentioned this in a different Pokemon thread, but these guys inspired me to do a dream cosplay of my own. Still working on it, have about two months left before the con.

I would sell my soul to get my hands on an official jibanyan mascot suit. They're so cute.

>>9169223
Wow, those look amazing!

So uhh, is this a thinly veiled fursuit thread since the last one got archived? Because I was actually happy to see it auto-sage and not get deleted and I would definitely be up for some suit crafting tips/talk.

>>9169243
I actually deleted the last one and remade this one since I used the wrong terminology. I meant to make a mascot cosplay thread in the first place, I just derped on the wording.

Feel free to talk the craft! It's still relevent to making mascot costumes and oc costumes, yeah?

I love the trend of japanese brands getting costumes of their mascots, the ones of the fairy kei brand Magical are really cute and they often model their new releases

>>9169262
Oh my goodness, she is adorable. It's like a pastel drawing come to life!

>I actually deleted the last one and remade this one since I used the wrong terminology.
We must be talking about different threads then because I meant this one that ended up surviving for days until it hit bump limit. But yeah, I think it's still relevant. >>9160240

I didn't even see that one. Yes, different threads!

okay that looks creepy

>>9169687
THANK YOU. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that. It looks ugly and terrifying to me. The only part I like is the shape of the head (that material though, eugh) and the design in the eyes is a nice concept.

Has anyone ordered one of these heads from kigurumishop? I'm wondering what the quality is like

>>9171799
just from the look of it they seem awful

>>9169687
>>9169802
It's supposed to look like their official plushies which it does (hence the material), idk what's so creepy about it.

>>9169218
10/10 would hug

>>9171847
i guess the eyes seem kinda of creepy to me...
they seem so just dead.

>>9171847
In all fairness, I can see it. People find some part of it offputting and creepy, it's probably the most heard complaint to these costumes. Personally like it, but the fabric choice is unusual and shaggier than I'd expect from a mascot, makes it a bit weird (and yes I saw that that's mimicking the official plushie).

>>9171849
Adorable, would high five, hug and take selfies with.

>>9171799
I actually got the chance to see someone wearing this irl and it looked pretty cute (It was the cat one)

Lord above these are fucking adorable

Anyone know a good place to commission just a head? i'd love to do a businessman Komasan but i've never messed with the materials

>>9174387
Etsy or Furaffinity. Many makers have their own style, so its hard to really recommend someone specifically.

bruh call it what it is

a fursuit

>>9176960
99.9% of fursuit makers will not do copyright characters. Anon have to commission an actual mascot company.

>>9178114
There's a big difference between fursuits and mascot costumes; Especially construction and style wise. So it really depends on what you're looking at.

>>9178137
Doesn't make it not a fursuit

A yiff by any other name

>>9178137
>99.9% of fursuit makers will not do copyright characters
what? I have literally never heard of that.

>>9178150
It's a copyright fear thing and pretty common.
Unless they're making them for themselves or the style desired is far enough from the series' style, a lot of makers prefer to stay away from copyrighted characters. Some will sell premades or are willing to do specific OCs/fursonas based off of copyrighted species (i.e. Pokemon), but that's about it unless you can find a maker who doesn't care, which they do exist. I know of a few but they tend to be picky.

>that ugly ass mesh right over the muzzle
Like...open the mouth and put it there or make it part of the eyes. It looks like a nasty gash on the Unicorn's face, like it got attacked by something.

>>9171849
Hooooooly cow I need this.

>>9169218
That's so amazing. Fluffyyyy

>>9169207
Kemono

The alpaca only costs something over 5000 bucks as well as a licence from Amuse, nothing uncommon for official mascots.

All of these are so cute.
I would love to make something like this and wear with j-fash or normie wear, I just think it's so cute
But of course it would be out of place anywhere but at a convention, and you'd get called a furry.
.. Or are you actually a furry if you like stuff like this? I really don't like furries and the thought of furries kinda disgusts me, but I do find these kind of mascot suits adorable...

>>9186516
Sorry, anon but kinda. They're mascot suits, sure but I'd definitely say if you were really into this kinda stuff, you're kind of a furry. a lowkey, non fetish furry, but one of us nonetheless.

>>9186527
Not the same anon but I don't think that someone is a furry until they like many aspects of the fandom or else all Disney fans would have to be furries too.

I think these heads are cute, but i'd like one that was small, only a face mask with ears at the edge of hair line, that i could hide the string under my wig. I tried to commission one one from a suit maker, but they forgot about me for months then just refunded the money.
On a related note.
I had a aspie furry with collars/chains and a week-long unwashed smell full force scream into my face that I was a furry because I own one pair of ears and a tail for a neko cosplay.
