Another oldie!!!! Hope you like it!
This shoot happened the day after SMASH 2010 on a beach in a national park near Bondi.
Being August and all.... the water was FREAKIN' COLD.
*Astellecia and myself went for a swim in this shot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

About the sword: I made this prop for the remake of my Tidus costume, as a celebration to my 2nd anniversary of costume making.

Hopefully I have improved over the years...

--->

As a step up from 2 years ago when I made this out of wood and relied on a good paint job, this time I decided to challenge myself to go all the way and create a translucent version so I can play with the light.

First I carved 2 casts from a plank of 12mm pine wood, then covered the surface with aluminium foil.
Then I applied a mixture of fibreglass cloth and loose fibreglass strands to achieve the icy pattern effect.
Then I used clear casting/embedding resin on the fibreglass. The name of the resin is kind of self explanatory, but it ensures that the sword sets clear.

After 2 days of painful fibreglassing and resin-ing and waiting for things to set...I was able to detail the sword with sculpey oven dry clay.
I actually decided to buy all the accurate colours of clay and make each detail one after another as they are added onto each other.
Finally, it was finished with Tamiya clear blue spray paint, (oh the gift of god), wrap the handle in traditional Japanese style, and tie the red material to the tip.

Weapon was completed in 4 days.
Overall cost of materials: $240
This is my first ever full fibreglass weapon and I'm quite...extremely proud of how it turned out.

I hope you like it too

Now THIS is art in cosplay form. Its kinda sad to see so many good cosplays with lack of poses and backgrounds suited for what they're doing.
THIS IS....AMAZING. I'm remembering why I liked FFX so much. awesome photo, guys. So fucking awesome. Obviously...because its not often that I see deviations anymore that catch my eye. Oo
