Cosplaying and Prop Making FB Pages You Should Follow

In light of a recent photo I posted of my personal ODST helmet, I have been asked by several people how it was made and where they can get one. If you don't have a facebook I'm sorry to say you're a bit out of luck unless you lurk/post on the 405th forums. [spoiler]Which, if you've never visited 405th, be warned they are a very mature community and strict. Jumping on there and begging anyone to make you armor will get you kicked out. The folks on that site are veteran prop makers and won't stand to be cheated.[/spoiler] So I'm going to post a collective and hopefully helpful list of pages you should follow to either help you create your own armor, buy a set for yourself, or just have something interesting to see and discuss. Note that these won't all be prop making and/or related to gaming. Some are simply amazing cosplayers who sometimes share their techniques on what they do which can in turn give you ideas on projects you may want to take on. Karin Olava Effects [spoiler]Avid and excellent cosplayer. She does lots of Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Skryim, and Destiny. She's been a little inactive lately due to being sick I believe however her work is well worth the wait. Amazing person. https://www.facebook.com/KarinOlavaEffects?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] World's Tallest Spartans [spoiler]A small group of people who are actual size to canon spartans. They create amazing designs for their suits and cosplay a great deal of cons. Upbeat and friendly people. https://www.facebook.com/WorldsTallestSpartan?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Impact Props [spoiler] Just recently started to release their 2015 Spartan modeling calendar. Prop makers, though they tend to be strict on requests and commissions. Even if you don't want to buy from them their work is skillfully done and always a treat to see https://www.facebook.com/ImpactProps?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Kirameku [spoiler] Another avid and skilled cosplayer. She does a lot of borderlands cosplay and a handful of other things thrown in there. She's very friendly and good at what she does https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kirameku/552977141408899?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Liui Aquino [spoiler] Cosplay fanatic. Mainly does children's movies and he's infamous for his flawless Hiccup. Lately has been doing some Big Hero shoots https://www.facebook.com/pages/Liui-Aquino/532646013433964?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Andrew Cook [spoiler] Destiny, Skyrim, Titanfall and Halo cosplayer. Really chipper person who also does livestreams for Q and A https://www.facebook.com/pages/DaFrontlineTrooper-Andrew-Cook/177039162321111?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] EXO Armor Labs [spoiler]This group creates 3D models to work with so they can later bring them into reality. Though much of their stuff is reposting from Impact Props (their main hub) https://www.facebook.com/EXOarmorlabs?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Lost Viking Props [spoiler] A small page where the admins make mainly halo props and share some videos to help those who are starting out their own projects https://www.facebook.com/LostVikingProps?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Armory Props [spoiler]One of my favorite pages. These guys are passionate about making their halo and destiny props/weapons. That includes helmets, full armor and replica firearms. They sell almost everything they design to the public and are open for custom orders. They paint, mold, and design for the fans along with themselves. Some of the most beautiful work I've seen comes from these guys. Very active and talkative to the public. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Armory-Props/482938798404008?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser [/spoiler] Overbeck [spoiler] Fantastic cosplayer. Mainly does anime cosplay however he does do a left for dead Bill that blows everyone out of the water. I've seen this guy in person (though only once) and it takes my breath away how well he fits the characters. https://www.facebook.com/OverbeckCosplay/photos_stream [/spoiler] Halo Props [spoiler] A much larger group that can get chaotic once in awhile, though admins are quick to shut down spammers and ass holes. This is a hub where lots of people show off their work, ask for help, or sell their old parts to each other. https://www.facebook.com/groups/528738863837600/ [/spoiler] Please share any pages or sites you have! Hope this helps
