Prince Lotor Cosplay - Day 0

Technically I've been working on this on and off for over a year. At first it was just going to be a subject of a YouTube video as an example of how I plan costumes. Then I started making the plan and liking the plan and dammit I'm actually working on this. So, I've gone over the plan a few times in video scripts but here's the basic gist of it: Layer 0: Padding and such.  This includes all the underpinnings needed to get that shoulder action going on.

Speaking of Lotor...finally used my embroidery machine to make a Lotor Pony Plush. Yay. Oh...and crochet has taken over my life recently. Made a baby blanket, some stuffed animals, working on my Visual Novel sloooowly....
