Followed by millions of people from all over the world, master armor maker Svetlana Quindt aka "Kamui Cosplay" will help you bring your cosplay dreams to life with your own two hands! Get ready to impress ordinary mortals with your superhuman costume-making skills. You can do it no matter what your experience level with this, the first full step-by-step technique book on cosplay--with no sewing! Internationally known cosplayer Kamui Cosplay (a.k.a. Svetlana Quindt) shows you how to easily create elaborate costumes and successful props out of items available at your local arts and craft or hardware stores: turn foam into a realistic axe, create a breastplate from scratch and use a glue gun to modify just about anything. You will even learn the best and most accessible techniques for working with specialty cosplay materials such as Worbla! Packed with more than 30 step-by-step demonstrations that teach the skills you need to bring all your favorite characters to life no matter the genre, Kamui Cosplay deconstructs the work that goes into making a complete costume, from the first thought to the final photo. Tutorials cover design planning, fabricating body armor, 3D painting techniques and more. Best of all, you can adapt every lesson to use in all future fandom projects spanning video games, books, anime, movies and even your own original characters! Includes: * How to choose a costume and find good reference art * A short shopping list of necessary materials and tools for beginning cosplayers * Basic safety tips * A beautiful photo gallery featuring inspiring images from other cosplayers * Next steps--how to grow your workshop, take professional photos, participate in contests and join the cosplay community Review: Great for getting started - This book has very good information for getting started in cosplaying and how to use common cosplay tools. I wish there was a bit more, but the content makes sense for a beginner book. Review: Great ideas and instructions, made something within hours! - My 12 yo child found this so helpful that she made up the armband on the front cover the same night she received the book. Great explanations, illustrations, and information on where to obtain materials. Super fun ideas for kids and grownups to cosplay or just to bring to life your own hero creations. ## Features - The Costume Making Guide Creating Armor and Props for Cosplay ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #875,502 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,247 in Fashion Craft #1,532 in Fashion Design #1,611 in Sewing (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 728 Reviews | ## Images ![The Costume Making Guide: Creating Armor and Props for Cosplay - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91NX+z+VOqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for getting started *by N***E on February 17, 2024* This book has very good information for getting started in cosplaying and how to use common cosplay tools.
