Kat the Leopardess' Krystal Cosplay

Kat the Leopardess, or Catwoman69y2k, both in 2007 and 2008, dressed as Krystal at Califur, a California furry convention she attends annually. Her costume is based on a facial prosthetic muzzle and full body-paint. Years she doesn’t dress as Krystal, she does a cat character that also involves full body-paint. You could say she specializes in that form of cosplay.

The prosthetic is actually glued on, so it must be worn for at least six hours, though it accidentally stayed on for sixteen. And the paint didn’t wear off very fast either, lasting for weeks after the convention.

She received help from many others for the various parts of the costume. The hair and ears were made by Emily Wallen. The tail was made by Shadow at Feast of Dreams. The shoes, bra, and loincloth were made by AJ from India Bazaar. Zebra/Pwny made the facial prosthetic. Finally, Jessie made the staff.

There is a lot more detail on the whole process and about Kat herself in the podcast interview.
