    So I did the math, my current Animal Crossing: New Horizons save file is three times longer than the amount of time I had to make this Flick cosplay omg 😭 Join me as we make a really neat pair of red pants, talk about our Animal Crossing feelings, and scramble to become a gay lizard for a wonderful whirlwind of a sponsored build!! I’ve already got plans for a part two and part three to add even more to this cosplay, but I’m so super proud of how this version came out. And Nintendo, if you’re watching… let Flick and CJ smooch, please and thank you 💜

    Hey! I'm Lizard Leigh! I'm a designer who turns abstract concepts into obsessively constructed cosplays. This channel is where you'll find every weird DIY cosplay build, shared with you in a detailed breakdown or build log! And when I say that, I really mean.... flying by the seat of my pants to make it work and catch that cosplay vibe lmfao.
    We're building the airplane as we fly it y'all, and having fun getting WEIRD with original cosplay.
    If you're new to making cosplay costumes, you're in the right place for cosplay advice- I've had a lot of time to learn a ton of things to keep me inspired and motivated for over a decade in this scene. Let's hang out and turn our big build schemes into some blessed seams!

    I'm so glad I remembered this exists. The videos of the gay lizard making a gay lizard is very useful for this bug-loving gay. Unfortunately, I am not a lizard, but I do like bugs and I really want to do a Flick cosplay because (and I quote) "he just like me fr fr"

      RIGHT! I bought mine at the tail end of 2018 because they'd initially slated ACNH for a 2019 release date, and I needed to be READY for the game whenever it dropped! 😭

    These pants are such an amazing example of craftsmanship. But can I just take a second away from the pattern matching (which YES, I LOVE it) and acknowledge the simple brilliance of making the plaid and just ROTATING IT so you had a diagonal on grain???? Like, it's so obvious and yet it hadn't ever occurred to me to just design the fabric that way?
