that i started making amor 
after finding out how i dont want to spend 300$ on a  costume 
and how much fun it is to just make your own.

i worked relly hard for months making my first ever cosplay

it was a speshailty amor set you got in the 20010 new yers hunt thing

i cant say it was perfect beuces to be honest there was alot i could have
done difront are better but i bealve that 
every thing you do is somthing to learn frome 
i have to give a heads up to my suporters and 
the people who keep me going beuces there were pleanty of times

Now back to my self. 
i took the amor out on a test run in the Kumoricon 2011 cosplay contest unforantly to say
i didnt win anything although i was told i should have. again i didnt go into it exspecting 
to win anything altho the costume it self got major props. and alot of people like it 
i had lots of photos taken and want to thank every one who suported me in this first run
i hope to see more of you all

below are some after photos of what it all looked like 






Craft fome Amor

so i started making craf fome amor for my 
aion amor set i cant say it was supper essay 
to do because it rely depons on how much time and detail you have to put into it.
but i thought id give a step bye step 
on how i am doing my ash armor frome Leag of Legends. 

Now correct me if i am wrong but some things you will need are
heat gun & are stove top
scissors 
at least 4-5 napkins. if not a paper bag will work too
tape. 
craft fome which you can get at any craft store and i lernd that the dollar tree now has it in really long sheets.
you will need an industrial glue. are hot glue gun works great too 
sowing macheen because there are parts of this you will have to sow
and any kind of fabric pain are  deco paint will work don't use finger pain are house paint
beuces it will crack and chip the craft fome wont hold it. 
if you are confdent unaf you can also use spray paint 

so on to the works..

we will be starting with the arm peaces so ill add photos and so forth so you can 
see what im talking about as well.

you will take your napkin are paper bag and lay it flat 
u want to pretty much musure it to your for arm. 
and drow out a u shape at the top were your wrist is this will be the top part to were you will need to cut 
on the craft fom once you have done that you will cut the lines out on your paper bag are napkin like the 
photo below .



you will want your pattren to kinda look like this rember that ash arm peaces
kinda pops out at the top and its rounded this is how you will get that affect
onces you feel confdent with your pattren you will take your craft fome 
and match it t your pattren making sure you cut it out nice and neet 
always have backup sheets incase one dosnet work out. 
i always give my self a good few inches to cut so i can smoth out and make sure 
it fits relly good. 


once you have cut your fome and you feel good about it
this is a little trickey to do on your own you mite need
help of a brother are sister are friend 
you are Going to take scotch are masking tape 
beuces it dosent stick to the fome and teer it but it keeps its hold for how you need it
you will take your fome and with the inside part on the bass of your wrist 
you are going to size it so you can essley take it on and off 
you will have two little flaps that stick out but thats okay we will cut them off latter 
the round part will rest just befor your elbow it will kinda look like this 


Now if you have seen ash her arm peaces relly have alot of detail
rember we are using nothing but craft fome for all that detail
you will have to have some good are desent drowing skills 
you can aslo use photo shop and print them out i guess 
at the wrist there is a V shape to do that i just cut out a triangle 
and untape it all and taped the it into places you do not 
want to glue anything right now  you can now cut the little flaps off too 


Now for the fun part you will put it back to geather
using the tape and add all your detail no painting are glueing yet you will
atch it all with the tape it will work i promise

once you are done you can now hotglue 
all the peaces to geather do not glue the arm peaes
you will want to use velcrow you can buy it in strips 
are if you cant do that you can use a string are ribbon 
and cute small holes to tiye it to geather 
works the same 
then you can paint in all your details if you want to 
make it pop out more i use the glue gell paints.
to make it a little more 3d ish..

and that is how to make an arm peaces
you can add all your own details so forth i love to see what 
you guys come up with.
