I must admit that I do not know anything about Pokémon, but I was asked to design and fabricate costumes based on characters from the global phenomenon. I started out by watching many hours of Pokémon anime and reading specifically about Flareon and Glaceon non stop.   I also asked every one of my friends that has ever played Pokémon Go about these two Pokémon. For every project that I take on, I will do a lot of research in order to get to know the character and to be sure that I have the design right. These Glaceon and Flareon costumes are based on my original designs and I am very happy that Pokémon fans I encuntered recognized the characters.

     For these two costumes I used Black Worbla and polymorph plastics.  For the detail work, I used paint. Flareon was all hand painted and Glaceon was a mix of spray paint and hand paint. Instead of doing tails for Glaceon and Flareon, I turned the tails into skirts which worked out great.
