An interesting little costume problem.

[Gizensha]

While I was at the convention (see airport), I started sketching out some things to help me come up with ideas of how to do a Gizensha costume. While it seems unlikely right now that the con I go to that I intend to hall costume just now I'll be wearing it (well, currently planned to go to an anime convention in 05, going with a friend who is intent of doing a Nall costume so I kinda got ropped into doing an Alex costume. Should be interesting), if this thing is ever to get done as I want it (fox form rather than human form), I'm probably going to need some suggestions of where I'm going wrong.<br><br>...Aside the obvious of overthinking things. I always do that. Kills many a project. So, what I have so far is...<br><br><a href='http://img32.photobucket.com/albums/v96 ... oncept.jpg' target='_blank'>Gizensha Costume Concept Work</a> <-- there.<br><br>Even if you don't think you can help me think this thing through, take a look. I tried to make it at least somewhat entertaining to look at. And yes, some of those annotations are for my benefit. Think I'd had 500ml of 300mg per litre caffine that night, and I have no clue what time it was in am at the time. Didn't sleep that night actually. Which is bad considering it was last night and it doesn't seem like I'll be getting an especially early night tonight either.

What does Gizensha look like in the first place?

A mental image exists but I've never actually got anything down on paper, well other than a description. Lets see if I can find it.<br><br>---<br><br>Vague Description - The form you will most often find him in is that of a young human male. In this form the only things setting him appart from the crowd is his green eyes and bright orange hair. No, not ginger, bright orange. The sort of shade you'd get on a red-fox's fur, only more orangy. The hair is tied back. He's about 5 foot 8, not tall by any western standards, in fact slightly shorter than most but not considerably so. He's pale skinned, and fairly skinny. In this form he never wears shoes, and if he's wearing generic clothing it will look a couple of sizes too large at best. He did once make a basic-cloth/rope system to compensate for this, however...<br><br>The next most likely form for him to be in is that of an anthro-fox. Said fox stands at about 6 foot 8, and is fairly muscular in appearal. The hair from the human form remains, as does the green eye colour. His fur is red with a white belly. The clothing that looked a couple of sizes too large on his human form will now look a couple of sizes too small. If he was wearing a shirt that didn't leave his shoulders exposed as a human, in fact, this will have probably ripped during the transformation process.<br><br>The least likely form to find him in is that of a full-fox. In this form he is indistinguishable to human eye from a normal fox. Surficive to say, non of the clothing he would be wearing in either anthro form or human form will be able to fit him at this point.<br><br>---<br><br>Might have some more stuff from the rp he was originally designed for, but that would require me searching through some irc logs which I can't be bothered to do right now. There may be some inaccuracies in that to how I'm visioning him now, of course, but that's all I've got.

I get an idea of his apperance but not much of an idea on how to help you.

Which could be why I gave up somewhere on that pic. Would be nice, though.

I say get help from people around you, a forum is pretty hard to communicate through for something like this.
