Why Bakugo's Hero Suit??
Bakugou has been my favorite since a few episodes in, when the reveal came for his Hero outfit I was so happy and excited with how it looked. More and more I wanted to make it, but as time went on I wanted something a bit more me, that I could put my spin on. Eventually, I settled on a design of my own, with the same cut style I love in my Bunny suits, and a hairstyle I have adored since I saw it in the artwork.
How I made this Cosplay:
Nearly a year was spent on my Gauntlets alone, I had started them when we moved into our new home and didn't finish them until the next August. Once the bases were finished I primed them with plastidip, then sprayed a base layer of Hunter Green. The green base was then taped off and I sprayed on a few layers of silver to finish off my base. Finally came the best part, using my airbrush and some paper towel I was able to do a pretty fun weathering job.
Moving onto the suit, I used a basic leotard pattern and sized it down to myself. Getting the "X" on the front and back was the most challenging part, starting at the bottom front I pulled a length of ribbon across my chest and pinned it down in multiple areas to keep everything smooth. Once stitched down it laid rather flat. Doing the same along the back with the help of a mirror took much more contorting and flexibility to pin everything down without pinning myself in the process.
The mask and accessories were the most fun to make, they were simple designs easy to throw together in an afternoon. The shoes in particular were an old pair I've owned for years and just haven't the heart to get rid of, they've been stitched and glued back together countless times, but fit perfectly for this Cosplay. With a bit of orange paint from Angelus used with my airbrush, they looked smooth and almost like new.
Ending Thoughts
If I were to go back and remake this cosplay I'd likely do one small thing differently, not sew the Orange "X" on after the zipper, that small hiccup gave me such a headache!!
