| I am planning on making a full suit of dragon themed armour, with various weapons etc i will be sticking to this plan!!! This costume is kind of inspired by the amazing world of warcraft designs, but i wanted to wander off the beaten track but still make something quite complex. I enjoyed desiging this and making it, even though it was a serious challenge to juggle with moving out and such it is craftfoam based, and the first time i have tried making anything like this, so it will be a huge learning curve! *UPDATE* WOW. i was overwhelmed at how lovely everyone was about this costume, it really meant a lot for people to come up and chat to me about it etc, i feel very honored as well as for winning in the sunday masq! THANKYOU EVERYONE! ^_^ here is the vid (last entry) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CEAR8ktjT8 | |
