This past weekend was full of experimenting for my costume. My broken sword was used to test a variety of painting schemes for teal tempered steel. (Say that five times fast!) I intended to use a real leather stamp on my bracers, but couldn't stamp with it […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

After 4 years of my Gastly door decoration hanging out by itself, I weekend-warriored some additional details for the door. It now looks much more cohesive. Apparently, there's nothing more motivating than your leasing office doing a Halloween door decorating […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

After breaking and repairing joints five times, I've finally decided to cut my losses. The new sword I'm printing will be thicker and have holes for connecting rods. It will look less sharp but it should be more sturdy. #3dprinting #propmaking

Let's use the after-con motivation to post cosplay pics? :''') I've wanted take pictures in this place when it's blooming for 10 years (and I wish I was joking). FINALLY! I grabbed the first pink costume within my vicinity which happened to be Tomoyo from Card […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I've finished 3D printing my Cowboy Zero sword. It's printed in a translucent PETG, which happened to be useful for seeing how far the aluminum rod is inside the blade. The blade had to be printed into 7 pieces, super glued together, and reinforced with super […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I'm designing and 3D printing a sword for my cowboy version of Zero (from the Megaman Zero series). I spent a lot of time trying to translate the sci-fi sword into something from the mid-1800s. I thought I'd have to abandon the blade's blue/teal color until I […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

This past week was the end of a months-long training program at my new job. My instructors and fellow trainees all had a blast, one of the highlights being a field/spirit day event. My team, the Blue Falcons, performed a great comedy skit about dining etiquette […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

I'm planning to make some (fake) leather cuffs for an upcoming cowboy cosplay. I've seen ones with nice stamped designs, but the actual stamps are pricey. So I threw together some 3D printed stamps and they look pretty good so far! #cosplay #3dprinting #evafoam

I had a great time last night playtesting my video game with a local game dev group. My goal was to see how little information I could get away with telling players about mechanics. I intended players to throw civilians away from the boss. Despite the visual […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

After mocking up a color scheme for my trashbashed video game boss, I finally started painting. The metallic base coat looked cool, but the paint job's not too bad. I tried a technique I've seen some minipainters use: stippling on layers of paint while staying […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Howdy, I'm a mixed-media artist of sorts. I enjoy making a variety of crafts, props, and costumes based on video games and original ideas. I like things that are neat, and I hope you think my stuff is too! #introduction #mixedmedia #MastoArt #propmaking #cosplay #evafoam #crafts
