Here at MBHS, our mascot is the "Blazer". You may ask, "What is a 'Blazer'?" A Blazer is basically a devil.
The school has a mascot costume (they have two, actually), but they aren't seen very often. I've been to two major football games, the first game of the season and the Homecoming game, and they were nowhere in sight. It's a shame, I would've loved to have seen them.
About a year ago, an idea came to me. What if our school had an additional mascot costume, one that was a fursuit? This is the concept I came up with:
His name is Blaze!
The ears sit back on his head so that they look like devil horns from the front. As you can see, he carries a pitchfork, and has a devil-like tail.
I would dance at sports games to get the audience engaged, and possibly attend meetings/freshman orientation, etc. all while in suit.
After I while, I abandoned the idea, thinking that it was weird. But now, I'm considering reviving it and actually going through with it.
I originally intended for the character to be male, but I've decided to make it female if everything works out. I also envisioned it as a fullsuit, but now I would rather make it a partial.
I am currently in the process of creating new concept art. I will eventually submit it to the principal, and see what she thinks about my nutty idea.
If she approves, then there is the question of where the costume will come from. I most definitely cannot make it myself; I tried to make a costume head once and the understructure came out so bad that I just couldn't finish it.
Although the final decision would be up to whoever is in charge of the mascot costumes, I might suggest a small company called Fursonalized Creations. Their costumes are very inxepensive (Blaze would be $445), but are visually appealing. This is their most recent costume head, Rockit the fox.
Thank you for reading! :)
