Minecraft Yogscast Cosplay 1

My sisters and I in our Yogscast costumes. From left to right it is Lewis (Xephos) done by the middle sis, Judy
A creeper done by the youngest, Sydney
And Simon (Honeydew) done by me.

We were so well received by all age groups. Walks that should have taken five minutes took an hour and a half because we kept getting stopped for pictures. People saw that it was Minecraft, or 8-bit, or the Yogscast, and some parents of young children took pictures of us because they thought we were Lego people.

It was amazing to do these costumes. So much fun, so much love, and we got to show our love and support of the Yogscast by bringing their Minecraft skins to life. We hope Simon and Lewis see some of these and appreciate our work and understand how devoted their fans are.


Construction notes-
We made these costumes out of cardboard boxes, acrylic paint, and hot glue. They were done on a 6' scale, so everything is exactly proportionate to the Minecraft characters in-game. Each painted square was 2.25". Cut everything out, painted it, and then pieced it together.

My sisters put their costumes together with tape. I made "tabs," (small rectangles of cardboard folded into a corner) and attached all the edges from the inside. The Xephos costume is slightly shorter because my sister shortened her torso to better fit (she's the shortest of the three of us). The creeper had no body due to time constraints, but should be completed next time we wear the costumes.

The Xephos costume had a headpiece inside the head box so that my sister could turn her head and the box would move with it. I simply Velcro-ed my head to the torso, but plan on making a headpiece in the future as well (I suggested it but chose not to make one, while my sister did). Movement was limited to baby steps, but it was just as well because we barely got anywhere in the first place since we kept getting stopped.
