Lightbulb IDW Dark Leo Cosplay

Alright, let me start this off by saying this is the first cosplay I have ever made, so try to be gentle. Also, I am not making the turtle part of it; that is just too hard. I'm just going for the outfit.

Here is a reference:


Here is my progress so far:

Looking good up to this point; I think a Dark Leo outfit is a great cosplay idea. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

The desert scarf should be fairly easy to make (I don't know if that's what they're actually named, that's just what I call them); I have a similar-ish black one at home (see pics below). If you use something with thick-ish material (like velveteen or corduroy), it should stand up fairly well on its own without any support.





Hope that helps some!

I actually already made it. I just didn't photograph it because it's so plain. Yours looks so much better than mine!

Hah, I couldn't possibly take any credit for that as I bought mine off Etsy.

It looks great nonetheless. I think I could make it, but I already made that part and I am not invested enough to remake.

And I can't judge. I am buying the mask and the claw.

Of course not!

Ha, yes, obviously. I already own a pair of black leather pants that I will be wearing.

Uuuuuuugh. This looks so much better on my floor than it does on my body.

No way, that looks really good. Don't you go bodyshaming yourself, dude.

I'm really eager to see how this turns out. It's fun to see everything being pieced together gradually. ^_^
