DoodleBob Cosplay
ME HOY MINOY! I made this cosplay to debut at Katsucon 2019. The photos show the second iteration of the pencil prop; the original was crafted from a wrapping paper tube and needed to be replaced with a sturdier form. The new pencil uses a poster tube as the base form, with thin cardboard affixed in a cone shape to create the pencil tip. I then painted the pencil and all its details. The main cosplay body piece was crafted from a large piece of foam core, sketched out and hand painted by me. There is a very crude duct tape harness to wear the body piece, but as it's generally never visible when I pose, it gets the job done and is surprisingly comfortable!
