An Example of a Professional Propmaker
So I was researching how to make scabbards and looked around google. Then I found a forum topic about this person who had made a D. Gray Man sword. It was black and had a sheath, and looked alot like sasuke's sword from naruto except it was curved. However I noticed somthing very shocking, this sword was flawless, there was no imperfections anywhere, and the proportions and details were all down to only mini milimetre's in positioning. In his post he has said he had made this sword for her sisters cosplay. Then he mentioned he had a link to his tutorial, I clicked and I saw he had an online blog. Then I later discovered he has LOTS of work besides just swordmaking. When I looked at his user information it all made sense. He is a professional Graphic's Designer. He was a propmaker at the professional level, and everything he made was no for his job, but somthing he liked to do as a hobby in his free time. Since he is a professional he has every tool and equipment made by man in his workshop which is HUGE. Now what kind of things does he make? well:
He can make replica swords...

He can make replica guns...

He can make replica armour...

He can make wooden scupltures...

He can also make a vacuum forming machine...

What does all this mean? what are you looking at is a man who can make perfect replica's. A propmaker goes on a journey to polish there skills more and more. I without a doubt say that this man is the end of the road. Even though he has every tool and equipment imagineable he is able to use them all with carefull precision, and the number one thing is he is very patient. I have read he has entered designing contest's and has gotten first place in them aswell. Yet amazingly his blog is so empty with comments its like noone knows he exists. Well we cant allow that can we? what we are observing is one of the best propmakers on the net going unacknowledged? hell no we must praise his godlike skills XD. If there was the worlds greatest cosplay team, then he would without a doubt be the propmaker of the team.
What is the major difference between an amatuer and a professional? well amatuer propmakers might be specialised in just a few area's which they can pull out their most potential. For example my speciality is swordmaking. However a professional can make ANYTHING at the HIGHEST quality possible. This guy can make anything I tell you.Oh yeah I forgot to mention he actually does commissions aswell. The reason why cosplayers around the world are not flocking to him with requests is beyond me becuase his props can make cosplayers FAMOUS. Though in all honesty If I were him I wouldnt sell any of that work for less then £200 or $400. I mean the guy built his own vacuum forming machine and those cost thousands.
