Enter Roxas

Heya. I know, but I'm busy, yo. Yo. ;) The Thief Daggers are looking good, ready for a little bodywork and paint. They will experience a slight slowdown as they have a long due date, so that I can focus on the next project.

Roxas, prepare yourself. Oathkeeper begins. It's further than this as I write but I wanted to post a beginning pic before I head back out to it. There's a lot of dust as usual, and Oblivion won't be far behind. Worked out the design issues last night at my fav local art gallery. It's as quiet as libraries used to be, which makes it a great place to chill and get some work done. People were smiling and laughing because I'm sitting there jamming on the ipod, looking at reference pics on my phone, and writing in a notebook. :) I was breathing, too, folks. Multi-Tasking Master.

Big chess night downtown tonight. There will be plenty of party and profanity. I will be sitting across the board with the likes of Punk Rock John and others. All I can say is 'check' yoself.
I'm out. Be good to you.

Final Fantasy Riku Thief Dagger Progress

Sunday, August 1, 2010

Heya. Brief update. Rikku's Thief Blades coming along well- omg- fifty holes of various sizes drilled for this project. End result- run down the batteries, charge, run down the batteries, charge, etc. ad nauseum. But it's finished, and the end product will move along nicely. After that, and supremely on my mind- Organization 13 Roxas, and Oathkeeper and Oblivion. I can't wait. There will be much sawdust.

OmG, great party tonight. What would I do without you, freaks?

Be good to you.

The Iroquois Man, Huffballs, Sogeking, Riku, Roxas, and more.

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Heya. Updating. The Iroquois man is finished. Too bad the owner wouldn't let me make him all flash, but our opinions differ, and painting it himself will make it his piece. I still say ipod, laser cannon- oh, there I go again. :)


Here are the Huffballs installed. And yes it rhymes terribly. Don't get caught up in it- it's not good for you.

Most recent finished project is a table top cut from a piece of birch and fitted to a metal frame, painted in acrylics and marker, and sealed with a clear coat. It's just like a mixed drink- add an umbrella and it's whamo!

There a few props in the mill, from Sogeking's Kabuto and mask from One Piece, to Oathkeeper and Oblivion for a Organization 13 Roxas.

But the momentary winner is Rikku's Thief Daggers from Final Fantasy X and X2.

From here it's templates and more coffee. Cream? Yes, please.
Be good to you.

COSPLAY PROP REQUEST/FAQ

Cosplay Prop Request/FAQ

I love the sound of a candy-pile dumped on the kitchen table.

They say that our perception of time is skewed, and that past present and future are not separate. This makes it sound as though trick or treat never ends. I like the feel of that.

Be who you want.


The BEST prop at your con.


Epic photo-shoot.

It starts here.

Short FAQ, and then fill out the quote request.

IF YOU ARE UNDER 18 I cannot enter a legally binding contract with you, so get a parent or legal guardian to do so on your behalf.

Our correspondence becomes our contract.  Make sure to read the FAQ.  

I ask 50% of the total commission price for materials and starting work, with the remaining balance due on completion. I start work when your down payment is received and clears. Once I begin work there are no refunds.

I use Money Orders for payment.

You have eight weeks after the balance is billed to send your remaining payment, after that both deposit and prop are forfeit.

Once a piece is in progress you will find updates and pics on Buster Cleveland.

I ship via UPS ground.  If you would like to purchase insurance please let me know before the final payment.  I build my own boxes and pack them well.  After it leaves my door it's out of my hands.

Quotes are good for 30 days.
