Description ...

This is why I haven't uploaded anything in ages.

Done- head, tails, feet
Need to do- body, hands.

what I like:
Those tails are about as big as its possible to get them, and still have them wearable.
The tails attatch firmly (and comfortably) to my belt via metal D-rings. They hold their curved shape quite nicely and have a good bounce and swing when I move.
For added lulz the tip of each tail contains a squeaky dog toy.
The shoes are lightwieght and comfy.
The head has a nice fit, I can see and breathe and it doesn't slip about.
Everyone I've shown this to so far has gone "OMG Tails!" so I guess its recognizably close to the character design.

Niggles!
The orange fur is waaaay to orange and its shitty quality- if you get real close you can see the backing. I guess I got what I paed for. I wan't gonna fork out top dollar for quality fur when I didn't even know if I could make this thing or not.
The white fur id better quality, but it was too long and spiky for his muzzle so I trimmed it down, not sure if I did a good job on that, but its less lulzy than when I first attatched the fur- he looked like he had a massive beard.
:bulltred: His eyes are too small for a Sonic character. Thing is, if I'd have made them much bigger, he would have been really cross-eyed. Ho-hum.
A blob of glue escaped when I attatched his nose. Its hard to see though.
The orange fur is puckering slightly in a few places on his head, this makes me ANGRY wrar!
The mouth is just a hole right now. I'm scared to add teeth, lips, and tongue though, I think it may just make him look really weird.
The shoes look like cheap crap, but I made them in one evening from stuff I had lying around so I really shouldn't whine.

WOW!!! AWSOME.... I am going to make myself a tails costume too... won't be that good, i suppose... Are you going to cosplay at SoS'11!? SURE YOU ARE!!! You have any hints for my costume? (how did you made that head!? O_______o )
The costume should be finished about SoS'12 or SoS'13 ..... asking why? i'm still going as shahra... was difficult (and expensive!!!!) enough. need to show it some more...^^

XD I'm sure if you made a Tails costume it would be better than my efforts, your Shahra costume is AMAZING!

Yes, I'm taking this costume to SOS2011, providing I can get it finished- The body is driving me nuts!

The head is made of pieces of upholstery foam stuck together and covered in fake fur! The three spikes on his forehead have wire in them so they're posable and defy gravity. I made the eyes from old shampoo bottles and the nose is oven-bake clay (Fimo, I think)

That's exciting! I'm going to be in France next June, so I'm thinking I'm going to try and get to Summer of Sonic... especially considering it's the big 20th anniversary and all.

I have a friend in England who I'd like to go with, and she said she'd go as Tikal, which I think is an interesting costume. I don't really have it in me to do the whole full-body suit, but I was thinking I could go as Bunnie... just like, pink tank top, silver leggings, cowboy hat, fake ears .

THUNDER-THUNDER In reply to lady--LA [2010-10-02 16:33:31 +0000 UTC]

It would be lovely to see you there!

And going as Bunnie sounds like a great idea too

This has taken me over 20 hours so far, so I can't just give it away. I can't really sell it either as its a copyrighted character.
