Fox Flight Suit Cosplay

[FoxMcCloud]

Being part of the Air Force Auxiliary, I got myself a Flight suit, that I am now working on to be the alpha stage of my Fox Costume, my idea is to use these following reference photos.

"Attached below the post"

I am picking up some fabric from a local crafts store today, and I am going to do the Red lining on the pants, arms, and the chest. After that I am going to design a Star fox Militaryish Patch and have someone make it for me. Then having a custom pilot patch, where the name goes to say something like this

I am going to design my own custom, starfox wings........ill post that up here to, later......The other patch, i'll put up once i get around to making it in photoshop

I have a long list of hurdles to overcome:

[list type=decimal]Flight suit ---> medium

[list type=decimal]Patches  ---> easy

[list type=decimal] The only problem is getting the other stuff, the boots, im just going to use my regular combat boots I have.

I am going to have a long time ahead of me, plus with college, and other stuff...... I might go to a convention, depending if I can raise the money for tickets, and plane. Plus if my grandparent found out about this project, im dead!! (I live with my grandparents before I'm going to college Long story, lets just say, mom and dad probs..............)

Anyways, ill post photos of my progress as I get there. Anyways, i would like people to please criticize, throw some ideas, and even assistance to where i can get stuff

Thanks

AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see how this turns out! :P

[Asper Sarnoff]

I'm really looking foreward to seeing how this turns out. Who knows, might be inspired enough to give SF cosplaying a try myself.

Best of luck, and keep us posted.

[FoxMcCloud]

I will try my best :D

[Sabre]

Assault costume?

negative much? jk lol

The only reason why i am is because I like the Flight Suit, and he looks pretty bada$$, but yeah Robert, you should make a classic one that would be sweet!

Anyways the only problem with classic fox, is the headpiece, personally i don't like it. but hey, some do

The boots, i really don't want to do, because i know they are going to be he!!, but i can at least try :)

I always thought that his headpiece looked like the Laser Scope for the NES.

I don't make costumes. And Assault Fox is ugly, looks plasticy and fake, and has damn Christmas colors.

That's just your opinion. :P

[Robert Monroe]

That's just your opinion.

And anyone with any comprehension of character design.

Seriously, its the things art classes teach against.

I'd make one

oh yeah, huh? that would be a perfect addition to the costume!

Yes they might prove a real bugger. I saw a picture of someone who made the Brawl boots out of some rubber boots with tacked on plastic armor, and it didn't look that good to be honest. Steer away from that option.

I think your best bet would be some kind of motorcycle cross boots. Something like these for example.

The downside with that, is that they tend to be quite on the expensive side. Since you won't be wearing them that often, you might be able to find some cheaper, used ones on Ebay or elsewhere around the internet.

Maybe you're right. But, there is something called respecting other peoples preferences and opinions. If FoxMcCloud says he wants to give Assault Fox a shot, then I think it's immature and nasty of you to come in and say that his project is going to be worse of because he picked that excact version of Fox.

[FoxMcCloud]

Ok..... Well I got the supplies, and the markings made, the only next step is to cut and sew, Unfortunately I have no sewing machine, and must do this by hand. So its gonna be a while, also below is the custom made Starfox Team Patch, i know its not the best, but I need some good ideas cuz I know I can do a better one, I just need to have my "artist revelation"

Please comment, make it constructive. Please and thank you kind people

[CrypticQuery]

:shock: THIS............IS...............AWESOME! :D

I was aiming more for constructive criticism. A well made Fox costume deserves to look better than something that looks like a Kindergardener colored in a "My First Starfox Coloring Book".

The again, maybe he can make it work. But I doubt it.

Now that's more than okay. But one can't expect anyone to believe that's what you meant when you posted like you did in your first couple of posts. Think it trough a little better next time. Neither you or anyone else have anything to gain from people finding what you say offensive and believing that you're an ass.

Okay, I have some suggestions in regard to the badge. First of, I think it would be better without the Great Fox, and just the Arwing. On a second note, I'd advice the Arwing, and the Great Fox if you want it in, to be more like a silhouette than a fully blown image like this. Let it be just the shape of the hull, the wings, the G-diffusers and the canopy, perhaps made to look like it's been embodied with golden thread, like one can find in many military insignias.

Also, might consider finding a spot for the Starfox logo somewhere on the suit. Not necessarily on this exact patch, but it's a definite must.

Hope that helped.

You were aiming for Constructive Criticism? I am sorry, but that was not constructive whatsoever.

That more than helped!! This was exactly what i needed this is the Criticism I'm looking for, not Negative Nancy..... 

I redid the name patch to have the Starfox Team Logo, I am working on the idea that you have given me Asper, and lets just say, Im gonna do it, but the render of the Arwing that I want to use, photo-shop is being a ****** and not letting me work on it that well, the magic wand tool, that aids in the making of silloutes is not working......

So its gonna be a while :

Name Patch:
