EuroCosplay 2011 Grand Champion
kiichan - 21st September 2011 OH MY! What sexy clay you have!!!
xaerael - 22nd September 2011
It's WED clay. Very nice stuff, if a little trickier to mould than oil based clays. I'll probably be using it more often now though on big stuff, because it's eyepoppingly cheaper than Chavant. (about 1/6 the price, haha)
It's sort of a regular water clay that has a glycerine additive which makes it easier to wet out. The beauty of it is you can smooth it to an almost mirror shine with just water, which was perfect for making a shell-like sculpt.
RebaSephiroth2 - 24th September 2011 OMG! Absolutely Brilliant.
Kata-san - 24th September 2011 Good luck at the finals! It's looking good. The fibre from the fibreglass actually makes it look like it's been taken off an animal.
Ranma1-2 - 25th September 2011 Fantastic craftsmanship!
MangaChild - 27th September 2011
Working with fiber glass is beyond difficult, to get decent results is another thing...
YOU HAVE AMAZING RESULTS!!!
Really cant wait to see this badboy finished!!
Lulu Rose - 30th September 2011 New carapace, it's pretty hot....just sayin.

SarahSaiyan - 30th October 2011 Super congrats on the win! Costume looks amazing :D
Zeldalight - 31st October 2011 i don't think there is a camera that can do that costume justice. Mega super gratz on the win :D
theKillingDoll - 1st November 2011 Well done mate, unbelievably impressive work. It's nice to see something a little unusual winning the eurocosplay final
Donna - 2nd November 2011 I'm just speechless in regards to your craftmanship but I love you for picking this character. You can't beat the old 80's kids films and Dark Crystal is one of my favourites. I'm still holding out for someone to cosplay one of the creatures from The Neverending Story but thats... well, another story (I've always thought Karen would make a great luck dragon though!)
xaerael - 2nd November 2011 Hehe, I was going to do an upright version of Gmork a long time ago ;p I never got around to it!
Kacela - 2nd November 2011 Congratulations! You really deserve it. This is beyond impressive ^^
Ranma1-2 - 2nd November 2011 Very well done, my man. I knew you could win with this. :D Spielberg should snap you up!
