Pictures of my Dead Master genderbend are slowly starting to show up online ; v ;
Unfortunately my scythe snapped and couldn't be repaired, so I gave it to one of Saboten Con's volunteers for him to keep, so that I could make a lighter, more accurate one.
Thanks u v u I'm remaking the entire costume, and currently the new scythe is nearly halfway finished, and it's already turning out to be better and more durable than the old one so it's probably for the best ; u ;
The character is actually a gender-swap of a character called Dead Master ([link]) from the anime Black Rock Shooter. The guy who originally designed her has a dA account:
I carved the scythe from sheets of pink insulation foam, and stuck it on a length of PVC pipe that could screw together. I coated the foam with wood glue to strengthen it, primed it with white latex paint, painted it green and black, and used black foamcore for the black panels of the blade. The raised ridges are made with Crayola foamy air dry clay.
I don't suggest people make it like I did; my pole was too thin and bendy, and the blade was too heavy. But now that I got rid of it, I can make a new one for future cons ; v ;
I understand this is probably not a good way to make it but I am trying to make one for my friend as well as my myself STR arms and I am having a bit of trouble even knowing where to start ; w; That is why I asked~ I have looked at a lot of tutorials for Scythes but they are tricky because often times they break OTL If you do find a better way to make it could you inform me on it? ; w ; Your cosplay was amazing btw <3

Now, is this character your own or is it from something? The design is wicked!
but what did you make that one out of?
