Cosplay Props
As balance to my costumes I made some props recently. And because my school is starting soon I just can accept few costume commissions and will focus on small props.

So if anyone is interested in custom made props, please let me know. (I don't do armor/swords/weapons) My focus will be small props like jewelery or other accessories.

Here are some examples of my latest works:

Yoko's hair ornament Skull-chan



Simon's key drill



Maya's Magatama



Super Sailor Mercury & Jupiter broach
 
 

Juliet's broach



It usually takes me around 1-3 days to make a prop. depending on the size and materials. Prices range around 10-15$ for the props shown above.

I also do custom made gems.

Have you gotten my messages about commissions? I've sent a number over the past few weeks and haven't gotten any reply... :/

yeah I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. Because of me moving into our new place I have many backed up mails that I haven't answered yet. And I didn't want to start new (costume) commissions before I'm done with the old ones.

If you like, just send me another mail and just put "Props" in the subject. (so I know it's not for a costume)

Thank you.

Hi!

Is your email in cosbape working? Because I sent you an email through it weeks ago but I haven't gotten a reply.

There's something in your shop site I'd like to buy. :)

Is there an attachment on the back of the skull so it will stay in hair?

You can have a barrett or a bobbin pin attached. Your choice.

The Brigade rank rpin would be easy to make. (it's from DOLLS or?) For the winged skull I'll have to find a a small skull in the dollar store first.

Yep, both are from DOLLS. Hm, will you be able to get them done before the end of May? I can send a money order over (and stuff)

What number do you need on the brigade pin? How many do you need of each, and what is your preferred size?

[info]a_songfor_xx
2008-05-02 12:55 am UTC (link)
As for the brigade pin, the number's 1. One of each, size, uh...
brigade rank about 1.5cm - 2cm by 1cm thereabout as long as it looks proportionate, winged skull about... 6cm by 1.5 - 2cm as long as it looks proportionate.

I'm just wondering what you make them out of?

All my prototypes are made of sculpy. (So if you see a white version of the cast, then it's sculpy) For castings from a mold I use epoxy resin.

sorry if this sounds stupid but what is a prototype and a casting? i'm confused ^^;

I asked because your props look sooooooo smooth and well shaped!

Also, what type of sealer/varnish do you use?

Haven't tried rings yet. What kind of ring were you thinking of?

[info]cindy_chan
2008-04-29 05:54 pm UTC (link)
A prototype is the first shape that I'm doing. (the white versions) Then I make a mold from the prototype and make castings using the mold.

The trick for smooth surfaces is sanding.

I usually use Krylon spray paints.

Yes. If it's a small prop it will even fit in a bubble wrapped envelope and cheap to ship.

You mostly seem to do earrings and such, but would it be possible for you to make a Sailor Moon-type tiara?

I offer resin cast tiaras:

But you can also request that I custom make it for you and the price would be the same or even cheaper.

am i ever going to get my costume? you scammed me out of $100... money i could REALLY use right now. please just send me my complete refund so this can all be behind me now, thanks.
