Cloud Strife: Buster Sword

I was so honored to be able to make this sword. I played FFVII when I was a kid... on the PS1. The cube arms and everything. It was such a complex game for me at that age (I was more like a Crash Banicoot kind of kid) that i didn't even finish it. And now, its being made for the PS4... Wow, time really flies.

Anyway, I was a bit scared to make this because of its size... and also, its the Buster Sword! Those materia holes also caused me to rework my initial skeletal frame.

Yasuo: High Noon Gun Sword

I was commissioned to make this sword because the person really loved the Yasuo sword on my Esty. Its such a great thing to know that people actually look at artists work and see the potential in it. Seeing as I can't really mass produce my weapons, making an Esty seemed kind of silly at first, but its proven to be a relatively successful form of communication.

Anyway, here are the progress pictures of this sword as well as the final product.

OS I thin out of the whole process, this was the hardest/ most experimental. PVC is an amazing material, but I didn't know the limits in which I could bend it and it still keep its round shape. Found out its a 2 person job

I love painting textures. It gives my weapons a very personal touch and the act of mixing colors is just soothing.

Dragonscale Armor Pictures

I was finally able to get a shoot with my Dragonscale armor. I know in some of these I may have had a bit too much fun... but whatever, DRAGONS!

Skyrim: Dragon Scale Armor

I know its been awhile since I've finished this armor set, but I haven't gotten around to posting process pics until now. I'm still looking forward to doing a shoot with this set. It would be great to have a snowy back ground... but alas, Southern California is lacking in the snow department (and in water in general), so hopefully I'll be able to find a good place.

Be ready for a lot of pictures here, because this project was a monster. I was able to debut it t this years Comikaze and I also met these other Skyrim cosplayers. Their stuff was so amazing! I want to practice some leather work after this.
