This cosplay was largely thrifted, and was revamped a grand total of three times before I got the result I have today. Inspiration I first started out with the general …
Whether you’re working with EVA foam, Worbla, or even sometimes fabric, there’s always a lot of painting to be done in cosplay. But it can sometimes be tricky to figure out the best way to get a nice metallic color, or add weathering to a piece of armor. Well, not to worry! Here I’ll be …
