So I made Oogie Boogie Last year but only just got photos done and finally added some more bugs to him.
A group of friends were doing a Nightmare Before Christmas Group and Oogie Boogie felt like a challenge to me as I had never done a mascot style costume before, but I didn’t want to commit to doing him until I knew I could get his face to look right. Once I had that figured out I decide to go ahead and commit to getting him done. So with hat wire, batting, broadcloth in a color that matched the burlap I went on to bring Oogie Boogie to life. I also decide to go the extra step and spend the money on 8 cans of glow-in-dark spray paint and hung Oogie outside and went nuts spraying him so he will glow in the dark. As it was also close to halloween I was able to go to the local dollar store and get some bugs that I painted with glow-in-the-dark paint and have them glued and sewn onto Oogie along his seams and in his mouth. While Oogie is way to hot to wear to most conventions I have managed it twice for pictures. Oogie is definitely a fall/winter cosplay and will probably make a return again next year. I still have some figuring out to do to attach the shoes to the rest of the costume easier, but otherwise I am very happy with how he turned out. The only thing left to do is a black light shoot with him so I can show off the fact that Oogie Boogie glows-in-the-dark
