What Inspired You to Make This?

I first began delving into cosplay as a hobby ten years ago. One of my favorite things about the experience and the community is the mutual appreciation participants have for each other's custom work. Since then, I have participated in Comic-Con and other similar conventions in the US and Europe. I am passionate about helping people become the characters they imagine themselves to be. Props are often essential to bringing the costume together cohesively. They are both an integral part and the finishing touch.
