The new class that I talked about is up now!

How to create a steampunk arm for your cosplay

In this intermediate level class, we will be building on stuff that I went over in my Cosplay 101 Class. Your finished product here will be a steampunk cosplay arm to accompany your favorite steampunk outfit.

This class is perfect for those who really want to take their basic costume fabrications to the next level as I expose you to a lot of different techniques that you can apply to most of your cosplay fabrication. Although, you could jump into this class with no prior experiences, I highly recommend that you have some familiarity with foam fabrication and/or review my beginner class on the topic (where we create a foam helmet). If you do have some experience, this will be a good lesson in more advanced techniques such as:

Bevel cuts
Bending foam
Cleaning cuts and mistakes up
Design
Making perfect foam circles
Adding details
Thinking about the story of your piece
Weathering and aging a piece to make it look more realistic
Thinking about how to wear pieces and integrate them into the rest of your costume

Foam is a great material. It's cheap and easy to find. It can be used for a variety of costume applications and is very versatile. After this class, you'll feel comfortable working with foam for any costume piece you can imagine.

By the end of this course, you'll have a great looking steampunk arm that will pass for real copper even upon closer inspection. A great addition to your costume wardrobe for your next comic convention or Halloween party.

As always, if you have any questions or want to drop me a line, please feel free. I try to be very responsive.

And if you make something... PLEASE SEND ME PICTURES! I really want to see your creations!

I hope you enjoy this new class and thank you for being a follower of my classes. More to come soon!

Cheers,
David
