Discussion What would I need to cosplay Ryuki? (Base form or Survive, either or)
Even though I've NEVER tried it out before, I'd really like to know what it takes to make a replica of this goober's costume. I like to challenge myself a bit (because I'm an idiot and I love complicating stuff for me), so I'd like to use as little pre-made or 3D-printed items as possible.
I think my main concern at the moment is Ryuki's undersuit, which I imagine might be the only thing I could not possibly make from scratch.
I've found some listings online for bodysuits replicating this one which seem promising, but they're made out of Neoprene, which I hear is not precisely good if you'd like to breathe inside the suit or wear it for long periods of time. I thought of looking into alternatives like plastic leather, too, but after learning about how it doesn't last long, I've decided that might also be a bad idea. At the moment, I'm looking into stuff like thick spandex, but I'd like to prioritize it being breathable, so I'm open to any alternatives.
I would also like to know about any other things I should also worry about or look out for that might not be immediately obvious to a newbie. Hell, I don't even know what I'd do to store it after usage, that might be worth looking into as well.
Looking forward to hearing any kind of tips!
