[Visual] What has been keeping me away from the forums as of late

So, I have been pretty dead on the net thanks to a small business I started making cosplay props, thought I'd share some. The photography sucks on some of these (used my camera phone) and some are preeeetty old (my god, so uneven) .

Lightning's Survival Blade - FF13

Spoiler for:

It also folds up, I'll see if I can find a better pic of it closed.

Vannile's Heavenly Axis Staff - FF13

Spoiler for:

Micellaneous Jewelry - FF6, FF13, MaiOtome, Tales of Vesperia, Sailor Moon, Resident Evil

Spoiler for:

I also run a blog with this stuff: http://joysutton.com/Costuming/

Wow, really impressive stuff.

The Eye of Agamotto is sweet

Make me a Dawnbreaker.

Impressed, I am.

Definitely impressive stuff. My favourite is the Pauldron.

Make me a Dawnbreaker.

I probably could, I think I have an idea on how to get the glowy effects. ;p

Neat stuff! It's good to see you around again, too.

Sup bitches.

More crap I made, fuck dem spoiler tags too.

Megaman Starforce/Geo armor




Loki Scepter (remaking it now, not pleased with the first one)

Holy shit. Me likey 

Had some leftover clear resin while doing loki gems, so I did a quick cast of a soul gem to see if I can emulate the ways gems look in Skyrim.

Version 2.0! I really wasn't happy with the first version of the scepter, so I re-made it. I've been doing pretty much nothing but this for the last six months in my off time. Also working on my prop photography a bit.

This is awesome!

That is very cool joy!

Your talent angers me because I lack it.

Well done, my friend!

What he said


Soo coool Joy

What? How?
What are those made of? :O

I don't know what it is but I want it.

I finally got around to putting together a step by step process of how I did the scepter: http://joysutton.com/2014/04/05/loki-scepter-v-2-0-step-by-step/

obligatory "that's amazing" comment.

That's the coolest thing I've seen in awhile. ;_;

You know, joy, you really should consider making this your "job". You said yourself you have more orders you can fill already. And between conventions, Halloween, and people's nails (which you should totally do). You may be surprised what you could earn

I agree, this could be your profession!
The fact that you can craft armory in this day in age...
It's kinda a lost art, and I totally envy you for your abilities because that's just EPIC. ^^

AWESOME.

I WANT A SOUL GEM.


I have seen this thread before, but I forgot that I need that soul gem.
