I started off today with what I thought was the easiest part of the cosplays - the belt buckles. We decided to use the Mystic, Instinct, and Valor symbols from Pokémon Go so that it's more obvious what Pokémon we represent.
I started with Zapdos (Instinct) because it looked like the easiest to me. It's angular with all straight edges. I started by printing out the symbol, then used scissors to cut out the large basic shape - a sort-of triangle. I traced this onto 0.8 cm (5/16 in) EVA foam. I then cut it out with a box cutter. With my rotary tool, I beveled the edges before using my heat gun to smooth the edges out.
I may go ahead and do Articuno tonight, as well, and if I'm feeling ambitious, Moltres. If I can do that, then tomorrow I can get them painted and then BOOM, they're done! I'll be sure to try and update everything as I work! Stay tuned!
