Life in 2015

6 min read

Hey Guys!

Wow I haven't wrote one of these in forevvveeerrrrrr...

I hope all is well. I've been crazy busy with my new job. I am an architectural designer so I haven't really had much to dedicate to making pretty swords (and instead making pretty buildings). Sadly this means that commissions are really restrictive. I may consider some super serious clients, but otherwise I barely have time anymore. It's sad but still exciting that I'm doing new stuff.

COSTUME DESIGN COMPETITION 2015

So I have some pretty exciting news. I am working on a collaboration with 3 international companies to design a costume/garment for them to compete with other designers! It’s kind of like the TV show Project Runway but I have to use my company’s materials and I have a few months to design and complete it. I have to be vague right now about the details, but I’m having a blast so far. The best part is that a lot of huge firms are participating as well so it’ll be a lot of exposure for me and my brand! I’ll be posting some of the artwork on here and the final costume once the runway event has ended in mid-September!. It’s coming together so well, It really is the best I have ever made so far. –you can tell I’m excited haha-

WOLF ART / LEATHER WORK

I've been teasing a new series of new werewolf / wolf inspired leather masks and gear recently. I am hoping to submit more artwork on this soon. I recently got the opinion of some wolf and leather enthusiasts and they were really receptive that I could start a whole line of leather products / masks! I’d like to get everyone opinions on this. It would be definitely quicker to make than the months it takes for swords and keyblades. Let me know if you’re interested in one!

DRAGON CON 2015

I've uploaded recently my TRON Zack Fair in collaboration with my new TRON x Cloud Strife cosplay. Me and Animeman553 had a blast at MomoCon 2015! We were also tumblr famous for a little bit (aka not actually famous)! thomassanders.com/post/1207195… Anyways, Everyone was so positive about the collaborations that we will be at DragonCON 2015 in two weeks! Super excited.

PHOTOGRAPHY

I'll be posting some of my photography from my recent travelling to Chicago and Seattle. I don't usually post photographs but i need to put them somewhere and I'm an artist soooooooo please excuse the spam of photos DONT HATE ME OMG. I CANT MAKE KEYBLADES FOREVER (or at least once Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out then i have no excuse XD)

COMMISSIONS

I am accepting extremely limited and very serious commissions for clients looking for exclusive work in regards to props and weaponry. If you have sent me a message regarding a commission of this severity, then please be patient as I have a lot of mail to sort through! Don't hesitate to resend as I have a lot to keep up with. My time is super limited so please understand I am only accepting very limited numbers of commissions each year. If you are interested in my masks and leather work, those may be easier for me to accept.

Well that pretty much covers it! I'm still alive so let me know your thoughts and let me know you're alive too!

2012 Update!

9 min read

Terra Tron @ DragonCon/AWA 2011

Hey everyone

I think its about time I update this thing lol. SO backing up a little bit, I have unveiled my Tron/Terra crossover costume last year at DragonCon 2011. I had a great time making it and getting feedback from it. I can say that it is a PAIN to wear. I cant see anything, its hot, it digs into my skin. Although I found the Jägermeister helps with endurance

and pain tolerance. It was quite surprising how many people would offer to do stuff for you. Pretty cool stuff. Anyways, that was the best Dcon ever

I got to ride a light cycle and met Tom Felton again

AWA was also amazing.

Commissions 2011/2012

In 2011, I worked on a Kingdom Key, an updated Oblivion Keyblade, and Xigbar's Arrowguns. The guns were particularly challenging but they turned out great and the owner loves them.

Currently, I am booked for commissions this 2012 winter/spring season. I have completed the Crisis Core Buster Sword and a pair of Kingdom Keys. They are in my Gallery.

SUMMER COMMISSIONS Currently, my summer commissions slots are filling up quickly. If you are serious about a commission, please send me a private note.

NYC/Chicago

Last year i went to NYC twice and had a great time learning about architecture and life in an ultra urban setting. This year I am planning to go to Chicago in spring to study architecture and look around. I'm excited

. Hopefully I can take some good-enough photos that I can post on dA once i come back.

MomoCon 2012

I will be attending MomoCon this year. It should be really great this year. We are moving to one of the best hotels in the city and it'll be a lot of fun. I will be Tron/Terra as well. Also, the owners of my current commissions will be attending with their finished props. Keep an eye out if you're planning to attend.

Future Projects

This summer, I'm planning to stop using my Tron-modified Bond of Flame Keyblade and make Gaia Bane (Ends of Earth Keyblade) or the Earthshaker Keyblade. The Keyblade will be modified with light strips and will have the same theme as my Tron Terra Costume.

I would also like to find a friend/minion (lol) that's roughly the same size as me and preferably male that I can MAKE a Tron/Ventus costume for. I say minion because we would need to be together at all times. This would be for DragonCon only so you must be available in this area. I'm not saying this will happen, but its in the cards if the opportunities arise. Lol so if you meet the requirements

, like Tron and Kingdom hearts, and you'd like to submit your candidacy, please do so before September. heh otherwise I'll just drag one of my friends to do it.

Thanks guys for watching! This should be a great year. Keep in touch
