Groudon Costume- Work In Progress

Updates and the construction process of my Groudon Pokémon costume.
This is definitely the most sophisticated body sculpting and foam padding I've done on a creature suit to date. Not to mention most expensive and time consuming. It will be covered in a soft velour knit fabric and will debut at A-kon 22 in Dallas, TX as well as being entered into the hallway costume contest.
Features:Custom made LED eyes, hindged moving jaw, foam based extreme body padding.
This costume is created for a legendary Pokemon cosplay group to be attending A-kon 22, Nan Desu Kan, and Animeland Wasabi. Other participants: Rayquaza built and performed by Starmuttani, Groundon built by CanineHybrid and performed by Rektheartist, and Kyogre built by DragaLegna03 and CanineHybrid and performed by Koosh-ball.

UGH GROUDON IS MY FAVORITE LEGENDARY OF ALL TIME, AND YOU'RE EPIC. I'm planning on making a Primal Groudon cosplay sometime, and thinking of following your design! You're SERIOUSLY epic to make this full thing, and I'm hoping I can make it as good as yours!!
