The demolitions expert!! Another custom paint job done and dusted! This one I stuck to the traditional colors but gave a custom pattern to the dome kind of a “caution” stripes thing! • • • • #helldivers #helldivers2 #helldiverscosplay #helldivershelmet #cosplay #prop #foam #foamsmith #scifi #games

Tested out some new realistic finishes on an upcoming NCR Ranger cosplay build! These were all done with powders and brush paints! Really excited about how these are turning out so far! • • • • #fallout #falloutnewvegas #falloutcosplay #ncr #ncrrangers #foam #foamsmith #cosplay #mold #cast

BEHOLD! The red samurai! This was a super fun custom commission I did for a client! The amazing template was by @sksprops . I wanted to work on a painted aged gold finish and I’m really happy with the final product! • • • #samurai #cosplay #armor #foam #foamsmith #hdfoam #prop #foamsmith #japanese

Gavlan Feel... good about this paint job!! Gold and soft metals are never my favorites to mimic due to how much they rely on lighting to really sell a realistic finish! Overall I'm happy with how this came out! #darksouls #darksouls2 #darksouls3 #gavlan #gavlanwheelgavlandeal #cosplay #props

I made the Bloodhounds Fang from Elden ring for a client, and I’m super super happy with the realistic results! I gotta shout out @gobble_inz paints for the amazing rust effect paint they have!! This build is entirely #hdfoam • • • • #eldenring #props #cosplay #costume #foam #eldenringcosplay

Went in and added the realistic texture and finish I want for my Gavlan cosplay! The helmet is very obviously bell inspired so I’m using a bronze bell as my texture and paint reference • • • • #darksouls #darksouls2 #darksouls3 #gavlan #gavlanwheelgavlandeal #cosplay #props #hdfoam #darksoulscosplay

I love getting as accurate as humanly possible to the source material! I always have to make some alterations to make them fit REAL humans but aye not half bad! All props are handmade by me!

Accuracy is something that is a bit of a slippery slope in the cosplay community, and definitely something I’ve struggled with mentally especially over the last year. • • • • #darksouls #darksouls2 #darksouls3 #eliteknight #faraam #helldivers #fantasy #props #cosplay #armor #foam #foamsmith #hdfoam

New mold underway!! I decided to test a new painting method on this helm before I molded it! I’m pretty pleased with the results!

“Is this… too easy for you?” Here’s some detail shots of my Pursuer helm from DS2 I opted to do a slightly stylized and blended paint method to mimic the more aged look seen on the metal textures in DS2. • • • • #darksouls #darksouls2 #darksouls3 #alva #foam #foamsmith #cosplay #eldenring

I love making Alva’s helm! The way the curves and flutes capture and reflect light is truly amazing when given the right paint job! Debating on what souls helm to make next! • • • • #darksouls #darksouls2 #darksouls3 #alva #foam #foamsmith #cosplay #eldenring
