Soraka's(Nightbringer skin) Staff, League Of Legends

This is Soraka's (Nightbringer skin) Staff.

90 percent of this staff is created from E.V.A foam, central support in the staff to keep it rigid, the top part of the staff is hollow. A Christmas bauble filled with glitter for the central hanging star. Acrylic rods, spray and acrylic paint. The staff has 3D elements and is light weight.

Fright Night, Annie's Bear, Tibbers

League of Legends Fright Night, Annie has a bear called Tibbers. The bear was made from two bears combined, one grey and one white bear. The eyes removed and changed, one of the eyes needed to glow and needed to be accessible to turn the light on and off. The mouth and nose changed and stitched on. The clothes were hand made, the coat was a blank piece of grey fabric and then fabric painted to look like Tibbers jacket. Top hat, shirt and trousers made and stitched into place.

The bear is 20 inches high when sat down.

Pizza Delivery Sivir, League of Legends

This is Sammi Dodger Mines Cosplaying Pizza Delivery Sivir from League of Legends and this is a special April Fool Skin That was available for a short time. For this Cosplay of Sivir I created the large pizza and hand painted pizza hat.

The pizza is all E.V.A foam and hand painted with acrylic paints on both sides of the pizza, also has a 3D printed plastic pizza table to finish the piece off. Sivir as a pizza slice on her cap which was also hand painted with fabric paints.

Muppet/ Avenue Q Style Decapitated Head

Sammi is a huge horror movie fan and in the first year of us working together she wanted a decapitated head. The concept for the horror was to have a cute element to the props, so I suggested Muppets or Avenue Q. The Muppet is based on Sammi herself and she had her hair black and red at the time.

This prop is made from a polystyrene wig head, felt, craft wool and fabric paint.

Orinn, Baldur's Gate 3 KFC Edition

Orinn is a Baldur's Gate 3 Character and after a concept discussion Sammi and a group of cosplaying friends discussed what happened to the bad guys, a where are they now conversation which led to Sammi playing Orinn as working at KFC.

The KFC Bucket is filled with eyeballs , fingers and a human heart all created with white marbles, and clay. This was one of the first props we created together.

Sammi Dodger Mines Tik Tok

I have made props in the past but had never make any props from EVA or cosplay props, so this has been a learning curve for myself over the last 3 years of us working together. We have built bigger and better props. Most props do not have patterns or templates that you can use( but some do) and each prop we have created has been a new challenge, especially if there has been no pattern to follow. Currently we haven't done have many professional photos of props created but here are a select few, ranging over the time we started working together. New props will be added to as we continue to work together.
