Star Nerd
Added 2020-12-19 08:41:43 +0000 UTCHey!
So, I'm putting together a series of Star Wars vids, and one of the characters is a disgruntled, battle-hardened exp-Imp. The armour I found available online was either too cheap and crappy, or too good and expensive. I wanted something lived in and... broken. But not a kid's costume, y'know?
So, yeah, I decided to make it myself. I had some thin EVA foam lying around anyway, so I just sort of pieced it all together with some direction from online tutorials. The result isn't great, but I think it will translate well to film!

iβm somewhat obsessed with papercraft masks and how you can make 3D shapes from flat paper. love this
2020-12-24 23:38:48 +0000 UTCUm, HOLY COW???!?!!! Jim, this looks great; and at this point I'm convinced that you can make just about anything! n0n Even more exciting will be seeing how you weave the prop into the story! Looking forward to it, the character sounds intriguing af!

2020-12-19 22:33:56 +0000 UTCOk SJ, I think it might be time to fess up. You have a Time Turner don't you? You stole one from the the Ministry of Magic before Harry & The Gang wrecked the place. I am utterly convinced you live outside the time space continuum and have more hours in the day than everybody else. π€π€£π
2020-12-19 22:11:18 +0000 UTCYour talent knows no bounds, that's an amazing job and great detail :D
2020-12-19 20:48:23 +0000 UTCHoly shit thats incredible!!!
