Cosplay / objects / stories

Making.

Not everything has to be research. Some of it is armor, props, prints, and the shows and games that gave me the ideas.

Making

Personal practice

Cosplay & physical making

I cosplay as tornadocos. A build starts from a character and quickly becomes a set of practical problems: how armor should sit on a real body, how a prop holds together, which parts are worth modeling in Blender and printing.

I keep a working archive of armor, prop and 3D-printing files. Not every file in it has become a finished piece. Instagram is where the finished work goes.

The characters and their designs belong to their original creators.

Personal interests

Anime, manga & games

I read, watch and play a lot, and my MyAnimeList (TornadoZW) is the running list. These interests show up elsewhere on this site too: in the characters I cosplay and in uma-sim.

Just the things I enjoy.

Elsewhere

Say hi.

Finished builds go on Instagram, and my MyAnimeList shows what I’ve been watching and reading.
