Squirtle - Pokemon
Squirtle was one of the first generation Pokemon in the Pocket Monsters game.
In the animated series, Ash, Brock, and Misty encounter a gang of five Squirtle known as the Squirtle Squad in his debut episode "Here Comes the Squirtle Squad!". I accidentally watched that episode this week, totally by coincidence, and promptly decided that I needed to pump out this costume.
Also, with PokemonGO dominating the world right now, doing another Pokemon costume seemed like a good idea. I already had the shell, so the rest of it was fast and easy. The shell is made of foam and worbla. It's perfectly hollow and light weight.
The dress took about 1 day to make. I was very motivated. I started on a Thursday night and finished it Friday. There is a WIP picture in the workshop. I made it all from scratch.
I have also done a Togepi, and Shaymin.
I think this costume is super cute. I got a few compliments about how well it fit. The shell design on the front of the dress is made from ribbon. I think it's got a vintage vibe. Unfortunately, there's no good way to simultaneously photograph a costume from the front and back. So it's hard to show the details.
The most time consuming part was the shell, but it's mostly because of the painting. The dress itself was pretty fast. I'm proud myself.
Costume consists of: blue and yellow dress, wig, headband, turtle shell, some jewelry, sunglasses.
Pictures were taken at a NorCal gathering in July 2016. Photos by Toshi, MLM, Corpus, KellyDun, and others.
