I have made everything you see in the pictures from the cloth to the armor to the props. I also modeled the costume myself during the costume competitions and photo shoots. This particular piece was based off Valka Haddock from How To Train Your Dragon 2 and was made with a mixture of microsuede, foam (insulation, expanding,  and craft), and various paints over the course of a month. This costume won first place in the Western Division Craftsmanship Competition at Colossalcon 2014.
