painted this during my lunch break! i used a different paint to test it out but the paint was kind of a pain to work with π₯² going to wait for this dry overnight before sealing and rigging it to the choker! model by @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social π #cosplaywip #notgodzillawip

I cannot stress enough how good a rule "don't post stuff just to dunk on it" is. whether it's a big community or a friend discord. it is a declaration of "this isn't how I want to engage with people or with the world." things are bad enough out there.
i promise i've been working on this costume again it's just been slow π i decided i wanted the backplate to be soft (so i can sit down lol) so i once again made a silicone mold and cast it in flex foam it 15 (urethane foam) - just started painting the base coat tonight #cosplaywip #notgodzillawip
this is why i hoard takeout chopsticks lmao π₯Ή glove armor modeled by @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social! i had these printed in resin since they're tiny and i would need to do little to no sanding at all for these pieces #notgodzillawip #cosplaywip
my prints keep getting sent to me in comically large boxes and i'm like "oh no did i fuck up the scaling" but no they just really want to make sure they get to me safely π₯Ή this entire box was for two of these pauldrons and those spikes π (models are by @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social!)
Was super excited when Gail approached me to provide models for some pieces for their Oracle of Darkness build! Iβve been watching their progress for a while and canβt wait to see everything finished up!
we live in the ruins of a greater civilization
I have recently recived multiple inquiries about pieces to be finished in time for FFXIV FanFest! If anyone is looking to have any work done in time for the event (or any other con happening early 2026), make sure you ask sooner rather than later!
happy #SmallBusinessSaturday!! my holiday sale is still going for another few days - thank you so much for the shares and support so far, it means so much!!
I do look cool, yeah, but even cooler with my bodyguards π

Third time's the /charm! Pardon our Firmament dust as we get the website updated for year 3.0 happening on October 17 & 18, 2026 back at the St. Charles Convention Center! As mentioned prior, we'll be using only the lower level this time as we find our break even point. More news to come!
Our M-01 horn set was one of the first we ever made! @mimicrycosplay.bsky.social became our apprentice while we were adjusting the masters and remaking molds as they wore out.
Ethan casted his own sapphire horn set pictured here!

Iβve been taking commissions for a few years now, but after a few builds I did over the summer, I decided that Iβd now like to hopefully take them on more regularly!
