About this Costume
- Construction Details:
-
Wig: Wig is simply an Arda Jett in Pale Blonde. I opted for that as opposed to the dark ashe blonde that I believe they recommend because I wanted a little more yellow in my costume to make it pop a bit more.
Jacket: I lucked out and found a faux leather jacket at Salvation Army. I ripped the buttons off of it and then proceeded to use Duck Tape (that's the brand) yellow strips to do the details. I initially only did this because I wanted to wear this to a launch party for Pokemon Sun/Moon, but I'm actually really impressed with how it looks, especially in pictures! For the shoulder circles, I had a hardwood floor that I started laying tape on side-by-side with some overlap so that they woulc stay together. I then traced a circle onto my connected strips and carefully peeled them off of the floor together and cut out my circle. After that, it was attached to my jacket.
Hoodie:
I used Goldenrod colored sweatshirt fleece from Joann's to make a hooded vest. The armholes and bottom is serged for a clean edge. I lined the hood with yellow polyurethane fabric which I got from Fabric.com. I initially wanted to use that for my jacket details, but one side of this fabric was more shiny than the other. The non-shiny side serves as my hood lining. I would probably instead recommend using a bright yellow sweatshirt fleece for this instead. The detail lines on the hoodie were drawn in chalk and then traced using a fabric marker in black.
Necklace:
I wanted to try out my university's 3D Printing system, so I found a model of the Team Instinct emblem on thingiverse and a buddy of mine was able to manipulate the file to be sized more appropriately. I printed it through our makerbot labs in that yellow color, sanded it down a little bit so that I didn't have any sharp edges, and then attached a ring and chain. BOOM! Necklace~
Gloves:
I was short on time so I found some lifting gloves at Five Below. I intend to actually make his gloves at some point.
Pants:
Literally black pants I owned
Shoes:
Literally black shoes I owned - Personal Thoughts:
- Had I known Spark would be such a cutie, I would have chose Team Instinct in an instant ???
