Title: Mascot Costumes
Post by: Splintered1 on 08 Apr 2007, 21:04

I design Mascot costumes.  Yeah, the big goofy ones at sport venues.  It's part of my "day job".  I am the art director/lead designer for Alinco Costumes.  I design and draw the costume, then work with a team of designers to build each costume.  It's a whole lot artsy and pretty darn crafty, so I though I would mention it.

The Pirate Captain one is really well done.  I also like the lion one. Though I would assume far less detail is necessary to pull off an animal than an outfit, I still love it!

That is such a fantastic job  :-o I know what I'll be discussing at my next career meeting!

Although to be honest, I do not have a monkey's chance in the ocean of doing anything that involves the ability to draw or create something. Other than music, or words strung together in a way that resonates pleasantly in the brain.

Not that I'm doing much of that at the moment.

Anyway, I admire you immensely for being abot to create such an amazing lion suit.

Hey,

I love various funny mascot characters and I think Mascot costumes design (http://bestmascots.com/index.php) is really a great and interesting job.

Keep up the good job.

Hey that's cool that you are able to do that.  I once helped my kid design and build an Optimus Prime Halloween costume out of milk cartons.  We spray painted it and everything and all sorts of stuff.  He was really excited about it.  I don't think he'd ever want to do it for a living though.  Designing mascot costumes (http://bestmascots.com/index.php)?  Hmm, I would have to ask him, cause he had a blast doing his own.
