That's ambitious for a first project! Unfortunately I am not a fabricator nor a cosplayer, so I wouldn't have the slightest clue :P I'm sure there are tonnes of instructional videos on youtube though; that's how I've learned half of what I know. Best of luck!
That sounds fun. I'm hoping to help my other half make a fancy costume later this year for a gaming event he goes to. He wants to make one of those big Chinese dragons! Sounds like a lot of work haha. We'll see. If you have any tips I'd appreciate it!
Thanks! It didn't actually take that long since I've had the design worked out in my head for so long :P The prosthetic was made out of chicken wire, which I then covered in papier-mâché and painted. That combination had no mobility, so I think I need a different word than prosthetic lol

Thanks! Having a dedicated "add glow" layer really helped with that.

Fantastic work on that armour! Looks really detailed. Bet that took a lot of time!
What did you make the prosthetic out of? Sounds like a fun project ^^
