Happy birthday, Sonic the Hedgehog! Even when i don’t really care much about his games, he is part of my childhood with Mario and Crash.

these arent my pictures, but this was my Zapdos cosplay originally* @ San Japan Sinister 6!!~ (*plus a ton of other cons)

(edit: ill add more photos if i can find any :3)

How I did the stuff: Everything but my shoes and gloves, where crafted by hand or otherwise altered (i bought some pants and a shirt but cut them and glued things and yeah :P )).

The costume itself took about half a month, its mostly felt, sewing, hot glue and and a bunch of imagination :D

The wings are made out of foam board and poster board. Each feathers is glued/sewn to a metal wire, which either was attached to an alligator clip, and then to a long elastic band, OR was bent in curved, so that it would “hook” around a bolt. The bolt was attached to my gloves, and the elastic band was attached to the bolt. The opposite end of the elastic was sewn to a harness. I sewed a fishing wire to the first feather on each wing, through each primary feather (heavy duty sewing instead of thread). The feathers would then pivot on the bolt when i pulled the first feather.

Also: It took around a month and a half to make and it took 3 spray paint cans to paint the wings. They weren’t very heavy, just difficult to hold poses for longer periods for pictures xD

I think its mostly its just blood, sweat and tears (literally), dedication, imagination, and a little inspiration from friends and family! <3

Anyways, it was really really fun at San Japan! And its an amazing feel to have so many people want to take your picture. and all the compliments too! ;;u;;

so Thanks you guys~ >////<
