So after many many years of saying I'm going to cosplay (but never actually doing it) I've finally decided that for AX 2015 I'm gonna go all out and cosplay but I really want to do a good job on it so I'd like to ask for advice on how to go about putting it together. I've gotten into great shape and put on alot of muscle I've gone from 170 pounds to 194 pounds and I'm nearly all muscle now. The Character I've decided to do is Angeal Hewley from FFVII Crisis Core. I've already gotten the clothing and boots and I'm working on the belt right now but I know the armor and straps might be alittle more work. Also not really sure what to make the sword out of or if I should just try to look for one online. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

Well I've come a long way from my first drawings of my original characters but there is still a ton of work to do. I found another big weakness is I have to work on my adolescent characters and anime eyes among many other things. Its great to have some constructive criticism and some tips here there but I know in the end its up to me as the artist to figure it out and work things out on my own.  

I feel like drawing but I'm not quite sure what to draw does anyone want to suggest something?

Telling me they're going to be there for me and help me then just walk away after hardly even trying -_-

first my dad disowns me then my room gets flooded and now my dog has run away....the hits just keep coming...
