Guess who I'm doing this year? I'll give you three hints: 1. Yar har har and a bottle o' rum 2. Who needs parents anyways? 3. Not invited to Smash on account of being too big

...If you guess Mother Brain, no! It's Ridley. I'm being Ridley.

Here are some schematics that I drew up a while back in preparation for his actual construction. This costume will be done (hopefully) by Anime North 2015, which will be May of next year. Currently I am making the basic form of the head, so I've yet to create anything substantial. So for now, schematics! Maybe tonight I'll upload a video of the dummy version of the head I made a few weeks ago.

It's officially started!

Am I going to Con Bravo? The answer is an overarching HELL  YES!

The crafting of this cosplay, Little Mac from Super Smash Bros 4 (and Punch Out), will be a bit different than most. Instead of building a new body, or an extension of my body, my canvas will be: my body. That shall be my goal, my piece to work on. I will try to achieve as much physical prowess as possible by July 18th, the date of the con. So, approximately one month.

As some may or may not know, I am an FTM, meaning a transgender man. As such, this will be my first venture exposing my new body in a long while. I am pre- top surgery so this is an even bigger goal for me. Lil Mac, here I come.

Hope to see some of you there!
