Description
Hey! One more since I'm on the subject of cosplay crafts. Another guide/tutorial thing.This is how I made a sword. To be honest, I wasn't planning to make the full sword, I was only going to make a size-reference for a friend who I previously wanted to commission me a decent cosplay sword...but kept going and finished it. D:
It's real rough here, but if I ever did a second one it'd probably be 10x cleaner.
Series is Yami no Matsuei/Descendants of Darkness (manga)
Character is the Shikigami Suzaku in her human form.

I've been trying to figure out how to make a cosplay sword and it's been driving me nuts. This is pretty helpful actually. How much did yours end up weighing? (light? heavy? medium?)

It's great looking and the TUT really helpful!
Since I was planning of cosplaying Suzaku, some time (in the FAR future...), too, I may be coming back to it.
Thank you very very much!
And I hope you had a lot of fans there whenever you were wearing that cosplay with such a great sword!

I'm planning on using your tips to make a Brotherhood from FFX. If you don't mInd >.<
I think I'm going to cover the whole blade part with blue glitter nail polish. I'll have to buy a lot, but I think It'll turn out nice. ^^

Hey, good luck!! I'd love to see it if it turns out!

I would XD but I think I've changed my mind (again) about doing that cosplay. For my first one, it would be a little bit difficult. >.<
I think I'm going as a Guado instead.

very nice. and thanks for putting it up. I love making props for cosplay, but like you said, most cosplayers keep their techniques secret. Me, I like to brag ^-^. And I like to learn, so thanks again.

Oooh thanks so much for this! It's really quite helpful! And considering I just came back from a con and saw a lot of great weapons

Awsome! That came out extremely well. I might suggest to try playng with styrene or insulation foam. If you coat the foam with resin you get an amazing effect. Great job

This helps a lot! Thanks for the info! And nice job on the sword.

My mental reaction to the hilt was like "holy shit that's craft foam and model magic?" Those are amazing results.

How did you make the ribbon look like that... did you braid it over, or..?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I found a braiding guide for Yuna's pony tail ( [link] ) and altered it a little. The guide had 4 things of ribbon, but to cover the entire area for the handle I jused 8 separate strips of ribbon (not very long).

I have a question. How did you do the braiding on the handle?
