Artist's Comments

This is a sample from a photoshoot that I did at Anime Expo 2004, when I was cosplaying Lloyd from the Legend of Dragoon.
The costume itself is all hand-made by me, as is the Dragon Buster (which was sculpted almost entirely out of hot glue - with the aid of ice cubes!) - the blade of which actually lights-up in person.

Original photo by my friend Kyle. All manipulation and design by me.

There are two layers of hot-glue formed in sheets, sealed together along the edges, but leaving a hollow pocket on the inside of the blade that I stuffed two strings of battery-operated mini L.E.D.s into. Luckily, there was -just- enough room in the hilt to accomodate the 8 AA's I needed to power this thing along with my hand. ^_^;

Hehe, yeah...where were you? ^_-
It's about 85% hotglue...the blade is entirely, but there's a bit of closed-cell foam on the hilt portion for stability and a base form.....but then there's hot glue over all of that for texture. ^_^;

That's awesome!! You may be the first LOD cosplayer I've ever seen, and you did it perfectly! Lloyd is so cool...
