Artist's Comments

A few photos of my Way to Dawn keyblade. Uuuh, despite that I actually rushed a lot at the end (Paint job: Two days. >.<';) I actually got a lot of positive response for it. :D

I've followed :iconvvmasterdrfan: 's tutorial in the basic idea, using a dremel and plywood, so you can look there if you need ideas, but if it's Way to Dawn specific questions, feel free to ask. ^^

If anyone wants to see the whole cosplay, :iconissla: have some photos of it. :D

(Iii, I can't wait until I get to make Oathkeeper and Oblivion :D)

Damn. O_O
Awesome keyblade there, my friend. I wish I had the time, supplies, and money to do such a thing. o:

Looks pretty good, nice detail.

Thank you, and yeah, plywood isn't the cheapest. D: Lucky you can get four-five keyblades on one big piece of wood if you place them correctly.
But then... I've never claimed that cosplay is a cheap hobby... especially when you go all in for making it as good as possible.

WOW!! D:
this came out super amazing!!
I'm thinking of making one of these out of plywood instead of foam, since I'm more familiar with power tools than I am "electric knives" and exacto blades
by looking, i think it looks like with the demon wings that you used the "scrap" pieces of plywood that vvmasterdrfan says to use in the tutorial to make the vein-like raised parts of the wing; but on the white wings, did you use a second layer of plywood to make them, or did you just paint them in a way that gives the illusion of depth?
and may I ask what brands of paint you used?
sorry to bombard you with questions :[
it's just that this came out sooooo well. it looks so cool!! OoO
any information you'd be willing to share is very much appreciated ^^

I chose to use plywood since I thought it wouldn't break as easily as foam would, not that it stopped me from being nervous over it breaking anyway. xD *Strapped it onto her back*
Actually, the only part that's not from the plywood sheet I used, is the eye part and the star at the hilt, those were made in sculpey, so the demon wing is carved out, and I did carve out a layered effect on the angel wing as well (It's just not that visible in the picture), and painted it to enhance the effect.
And I was pretty short on time when I started painting, so I just took some normal hobby paint, with some left over Warhammer paint from Games Workshop and went crazy. xD
And I'm just happy to help. :3

wow, for being pretty short on time you certainly paid a lot of attention to detail D:

:icondarantha:
Sorry for the late reply, been away working at a con. ^^'
You're most welcome. :D
I'm picky, so I still want to repaint it and fix some stuff on it. xD Not to mention put on some protective stuff so I don't have to be just *that* careful with it so the paint won't chip. Besides, I rather wanted to have a nice keyblade, but not have time to do Riku's shoes, than a sketchy looking keyblade, and a pair of even more sketchy looking shoes. ^^'
