Have you ever wondered, why I made myself scarce here recently? Well, it's not because of the herds of ponys roaming dA or the growing number of manga-kids spreading their love for big-eyed, small-nosed, playfully-dressed heroines and heroes. (Actually I'm glad the youngsters are drawing pictures instead of screwing around. :))
It's because I once again got lost in Skyrim. If you were lost in Skyrim yourself, you know what I'm talking about. ;) If not - just let me show you one or two (or some more) reasons, why it's easy to get lost there.
I make cosplay goods at reasonable prices. With convention weapon policies becoming stricter and more restrictive, you can't buy any replica you find on the Internet. Most are metal and not allowed. Many conventions are now prohibiting hard materials such as wood and even resin in areas.
With this in mind, I make my props out of foam. With years of experience working in this medium, I make your prop money go farther as it will be accepted across the country.
Thanks for replying! I've been wanting a quote because I understand how hard it is to make good props and the thing I want is a bit... large. I'll send you a note about it when I get back to my regular computer.
