As you can see, I'm Duke, the founder of CorgiButt Cosplay. Fun name, right? Not random though, I promise. You see, I have a corgi, his name is Braden and he's my baby. He LOVES helping with everything I do, even if I don't think I need the help. Pinning a dress? He'll sit on it. Measuring fabric? He'll try to find a toy that may or may not be hidden under it. He'll sleep and lay on what I'm working on, the best partner! So, in honor of him always wanting to help, I thought up Corgi Butts Cosplay. In the future, I plan on selling costumes, props, commissions... I want to bring fantasy and imagination to the real world. This will be my third year cosplaying and making cosplays, oddly enough all are related to dragons somehow so it only seemed fitting to share the progress here! In the following posts, I'll be updating them with my cosplay plans as well as the progress being made on them. So, feel free to stick around and chat! I would love to talk to anyone interested (I love critism too, gotta grow in all aspects!). [b]2015 Plans: [/b] Lady Inquisitor and Commander Cullen from Dragon Age Inquisition Mega Rayquaza from Pokemon

[*] Plastic details (will be made from originally sculpted items)[/list][/quote] [center][b]Staff of the Dragon[/b] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150102163955/dragonage/images/a/a6/StaffoftheDragon.png[/img][/center] [quote=Current Progress][list] [*] Dragon perching base formed [*] Wiring for wing formed, 1/2 boning of the wings shaped [*] To be started over due to poor attempt at casting which ruined the original sculpted wing [/list][/quote] [quote=Random Thoughts/Notes][list] [*] Parts noted as 'Plastic' will initially be sculpted by myself using Super Sculpey and then cast in plastic. This is to assist in durability and reduce weight. [*] I refer to the parts holding the tooth and dragon as candle stick holders. The 'candle stick holders' will be the portion that connects the tooth/dragon to the body (wooden part) or the staff. [*] Staff will be able to come apart in sections. Tooth, dragon and body of the staff.[/list][/quote] [quote=Items Needed/Used][LIST] [*] Body of Staff - PVC (will update with size once I have a full piece of the pipe that has it, the pipe is left over from a previous cosplay) [*] Dragon Candle Stick - 1" PVC pipe and Plastic Dragon [*] Tooth Candle Stick - Spray foam, Smooth-On Habitat and Plastic[/list][/quote] [quote=Stage 1 - Sculpting][list] [*] Try to find clear image of dragon on staff. I have found that both through online reference images and in game, you cannot zoom in on the dragon very far leaving many details a mystery. Through different views, I have noticed that the dragon is perching on the staff. [*] Find unobscured image of dragon and print out, scale to final piece. [*] [b]Currently[/b] using image to create a wire base to support the sculpted dragon. [*] Cast individual parts. Pieces will be cast in a matter that allows them to easily be connected to one another once all done. [*] Test casting with cold casting with plastic. Attempt on smaller pieces (obviously). [*] Put final dragon together and paint (if needed). [*] Use dragon to create the rest of the Dragon Candle Stick Holder. Candle Stick Holder should be long enough to slide into staff body and secured into place. [*] Cast or Cold cast. Paint if needed. [*] Attached dragon to candle stick.[/list][/quote]

Thank you! I have big plans for that one! It's going to be a gijinka and at some point, I'll get my sketches of it up.
