Fits like a bad glove. Chest piece hung a little high, but no time for iteration. Had to get these done as soon as possible for the morning shipment. CAN YOU FEEL THE EXCITEMENT?! (Or rather, the lack of sleep)?

Fun's over, back to work~

With TwitchCon 2015 coming up & Hi-Rez having a big presence, I had volunteered Bev & myself to attend in full costume. We went as Fernando - the Self Appointed Knight, & Cassie -The Hunter's Daughter. This was a cram-tastic, sleepless nights, last minute craft runs, hectic two weeks build! LET'S GO!

Some stuff I've used during this project:
Cardboard, scissors, card stock, fabric, hot knife (Wood burning tool, to cut foam), heat Gun (To shape foam), masking tape, foam (5mm & EVA mats), sand paper, contact Cement, tons of hot glue (Contact cement was taking too long), many trips to Goodwill / Jo-Ann, Mod Podge (To seal foam), acrylic paints, spray paints, many bottles of energy drinks~
