What to do, what to do…

Gotta start plannin my next set of cosplays for NYCC/NYAF. So far, definitely leaning towards Haru Glory from Rave and if I’ll figure out the build, Kazuma from S-Cry-Ed. Haru will save my on-hold .hack Black Rose sword that I started, but the other involved people bailed on the group so project went on hold. Kazuma’s arm should be my first armor build, so if I’ll pull that one off somehow, I’ll be open to bigger projects from that point on. All in all, stay tuned folks.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn – Rokudo Mukuro Trident (Incomplete) (家庭教師ヒットマンREBORN!) (六道 骸)

So this was a free commission I sadly didn’t have time to complete at the time, since I only had 2 weeks to do it and my speed wasn’t up to par back in those days. Selling point here are the gimmicks I incorporated into the design and then its overall light weight (unlike next 2 props I’ve made, the Fuuraiken, and Patriot from Gintama). Rocking it this time is a good friend of a friend for whom I made this guy.

To elaborate- every piece here is removable and very secure at the same time when assembled together. Easy to transport, fix, upgrade, etc. (Also, I don’t quite recall where I found this particular pic from NYAF 2011, but full credit to respective photographer per the watermark on the bottom).

Here comes that glorious post, and in chronological order too!

And then a fairly newly adopted practice of getting all my celebrity signatures right on the passes, to commemorate where and when I met them

Guilty Gear – Ky Kiske – Fuuraiken Build (ギルティギア 風来剣)

Been putting this build off for way too long, and birthday + NYAF 2011 were the perfect motivators this time around. Build was quick, simple, not really planned ahead due to the time crunch I had to deal with- 3 days. The whole thing was planned as it was built and the final is fully modular to allow repairs or upgrades in the future. Made of PVC, ABS, and stainless steel, polycarbonate paint. Future thoughts- thin down the white blocks on the middle area, make a foam blade to actually make this spar-friendly as well as photo friendly.
