Why hello thar. As you can see, I am the MetroidManiac (give ya 3 guesses why thats my name =D) Im recently new to the cosplay scene, and transferring my workshop skills to the costumes and props. I'm really a prop maker to be exact, recently making Zanpaktos from Beach, and am planning to build a HEV suit from Half life 2.
Anyway, for you viewing enjoyment here is an unfinished (some painting and wrapping to do) Benihime!

From my devantart or those who want to look at it (I recommend looking, I dont just do woodwork, Also a lot of photomanipulation, if anyone ever needs anything done, dont hesitate to ask!)
Metroidmaniac.deviantart.com
Heres an example of One of my favorite works (might not be the best, but it was so much fun to do!)


Its basically me and my mates as bleach characters, each lovingly drawn by me in photoshop, what do you think?

Anywho im happy to be here, hopfully this is a fairly active forum....

ayC MM.

P.S Those who are curious who is behind the name you might have seen me at the Expo last year....


Im the big one in the middle towering over you shorties!

Stay in the Phazon, MetroidManiac out.

I feel rejected...D=

Hey welcome to cosplay island ^_^
That's some nice woodwork there! And good luck with your costumes! =D I think I must have missed you last expo ^^;; Then again I practically stayed indoors for all of it for once xD;

Not rejected, only lost in other posts, sorry I didn't notice this!

Welcome to the site, I hope you settle in well. Its nice to see a good balance of prop makers coming to this site rather than just sewing, please post lots of pictures as you make things!

Anyway, shout on here or PM me if you have any problems, and I look forward to seeing what kind of things you make.
