cosplay prop making process
the whole slew of pictures i took while making my prop for my RO cosplay
finished product
the weapon i'm making. Violet Fear
cutting out the rough shape
cut the corners
drawn the guide lines
after cutting the slopes, it's pretty obvios the first time is on the right, which is very fail
repair time
replacing the broken part
inserting wire support ( although this replacing was a very bad idea in the end, it didn't cause fatal damage)
playing with static! magic!
first injury
plaster cures everything doesn't it?
my workplace - on the corridor outside my house
cut out of the center hard foam support, one of the ideas my dad gave me
however, it epic failed cuz the fulcrum point is way too small
so my dad found another piece of some ultra hard paper-ish thing, that's very hard to cut. ..
and ended up hurting myself again. a piece of the cutter embedded into my thumbnail
and the worse part is another deep cut on my little finger. blood is dripping down pretty fast
rushed to the toilet to fix it up
dripping the blood into the toilet bowl while waiting for the blood flow to stop
now i know blood stains are pretty hard to clean away. there's also this blood small lingering in the air. thankfully i clean up everything just before my neighbour comes out
that brown piece is the super hard paper thing. these 3 pieces are going to make up the central hilt
put together it looks like this
putting together the hilt using glue gun
glued
cutting the indentation in the blade
before gluing
my sword in bankai mode. jkjk.
this is how the inside looks like with the hilt as the main(and only support)
continued here, part 2
I think you should be more considerate when posting bloody pictures. Lots of people are very sensitive to things like that and it can be pretty distressing to see. I found these pictures really uncomfortable, I couldn't bare to finish looking at the set.
What class are you cosplaying as?
Bloody photos are really unnecessary. They're disturbing to some people. Please think before you upload those images. I suggest you removing those images BTW.
Agreed, band-aided image was enough to get across your story.
Yeah, please no bloody pics. I have a weird aversion to blood. Main reason I didn't go to med school, couldn't get over that fear, try explaining that to some disappointed parents, lol.
Well, I guess for me it is necessary. It only shows how much difficulty cosplay and prop makers go thru and it aint no joke.
Wow didn't expect guro when I clicked this XD
The sword looks good though. I want to make a sword prop too, but not quite sure where to get materials like these in my area.
This is a Parental Guidance post. ROFL. Looking forward to the completion of your sword!
you are bad with knives, pls stay clear of them.
maybe you'll live longer.
u should be careful. im ok with bloody picture, but im just amazed that u have the chance to take photo of that at first place lol. btw, are u going to cosplay lord knight? really nice sword though ^^
I heard coke is a great blood stain remover
lol, knives are bad for people, and too bad you didn't have my skin, otherwise the knives wouldn't cut you and they'd just bounce off. BTW, you use Stryofoam? Maybe I should use that for my props instead of doing welding and using some dangerous tools.
