Here are props I made for Anime Los Angeles 2024. Only the Boo was for a cosplay I wore. The others were for fun.

- Fonta Drink from Genshin Impact - This is a Fanta soda with a Fonta logo I screenshot and printed from the game applied to it. I was fun handing it to Fontaine characters to pose with.

- Dubious Food from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom - This mishap was a fun prop I made on a whim. Its just a bunch of colored paper glued on top of cardboard. I went the hard route and tried to source paper of each color from my cosplay scraps and even the newspaper. In the end, I had to print out the colors I did not have, which made me realize I could have just printed the entire prop in the first place. In any case, this prop was a blast at the Zelda gathering and with the Link and Zelda cosplayers I had pose with this. This prop also pulled double-duty for Spy x Family where it acted as the result of Yor's cooking.

- Boo from Luigi's Mansion / Mario Series - This is a 2-foot diameter Party City helium balloon. I tried to create its face with marker on a smaller balloon but it looked not that great. I instead made its face from pieces of paper taped onto the balloon. Regular clear tape worked the best as the double-sided tape I had was too weak. Its arm nubs were also paper taped on. To control its direction for photos, I had extra strings to pull. However, if I do this again, I probably need to make a control mechanism like the + stick on a marionette.

It has been a long time since I posted. It has been difficult keeping any consistency posting with all the social media platforms out there.
