My Masked Singer Outfit For Boomstick

So given that the finale of Series 3 of The Masked Singer UK airs tomorrow night and it has some of the best costumes yet this year, I thought I might as well hypothesise my own Masked Singer outfit. Specifically, I ended up wondering what kind of outfit Boomstick from Death Battle! would wear if he was going to take a shot at the series himself.

The identity I assume that he would take on is Dino, given that he is a massive fan of dinosaurs (especially pronouncing his love for them in "Yoshi vs. Riptor"). The name is shortened because it sounds almost childlike and thus matches with his manchild personality (plus I don't know if any other version of The Masked Singer already has a character called Dinosaur). It will be a strange sort of combination - it seems that he was planning for a T-Rex vibe, but instead it takes more cues from the allosaurus with the amount of claws and toes it has, the latter of which look pretty wonky. It's also hard to tell whether the face is trying to go for the same vibe as a T-Rex or allosaurus or whether it's trying to be more like a utahraptor. It's definitely not going to be as high-quality as the Masked Singer costumes normally are, but it will certainly be a fun one like most of them are.

The fact that the outfit has two legs means that Boomstick can conceal his shotgun leg and not give away a major part of his identity, with the way that they are built allowing him to still move around easily despite the wonky toes. The line on the neck of the costume also indicates where the mask detaches from if he ever takes it off.

Obviously since Boomstick's also a "Look at me, look at me!" type of person, it isn't going to completely conceal his identity. It will have the same colour palette as his checkered jacket for instance, with his main body being red with black markings on his back and tail. He also wears a blue baseball cap the same shade as his jeans with the initial "D" on it, just like how he normally wears a trucker cap outside the costume. The main "clue" sign though is that he has a tattoo on his left upper arm with his codename on, the same place where he has his "Momma" tattoo normally.

The only thing that Boomstick would be disappointed about the costume missing would be gun references, since The Masked Singer is a family-friendly show after all (well, I know the UK version is). Otherwise, I feel the final design still suits him really well and came out well in general. We'd better watch out if he gets unmasked too early if he DOES decide to go on the show at any point. X)

There are plenty more characters I could design potential Masked Singer outfits for, but this was the one that came to mind and the one I really wanted to get out there before the final episode of this year's series. Either way, it's on its way and I cannot wait! :D
