Cal Kestis @kidbunni | Photo @needlecat

Man I was really kinda dreading making Cal's boots but they actually turned out pretty nice. I used a base boot ofc but the pads/cuffs I made from my fav leatherish looking fabric (which is no longer sold 😐) aswell as the strap/buckle which is actually warbla! All the weathering was done with acrylic paint. And with this Cal Kestis is basically done. Hard to believe I've been working on this cosplay almost a year and a half now...

Here’s a few detail shots of BD-1 I made for my cal cosplay. He hooks into a harness I made that goes under my cosplay so I can wear him around on my back. The head actually has 4 directions he can be posed in. I worked really hard to capture every possible detail i could in the game model. Total build time was about 3-4 months but I’m incredibly happy with the result. There’s still some more work to be done I want to do on Cal but this is definitely the showpiece of the cosplay.

More progress on Cal!

Heres something I’ve been working on for the past few months. I absolutly love Cal Kestis’s lightsaber design from Jedi Fallen Order. The instant i saw it and I knew I would have to make it. Im a sucker for flashy lights and the broken/rusted with exposed wiring asthetic so this one was right up my ally.

This prop very much harkens back to the old wood props i used to make back in the day. The blade is made of poplar wood and that runs through to the base of the handle to keep it sturdy. (You can get these poplar wood sheets at home depot) The rest of the prop is black worbla with EVA foam inside for structure. After that i primed it with MANY coats of gesso spray sanding in between every few coats to get as smooth a finish as possible before painting with spray paint. I literally spent like a month just priming and painting this. I especially love how the detailing on the guard turned out. I love being able to add as much 3 dimentionality as i can to my props.

Made it to Katsucon! What no new cosplays? Well not exactly, Ive been remaking Soldier Blue and I’m much happier with the outfit now! The original was quite rushed and now i have taken the time to fix up the problem aspects!
