Guitar Hero and Halo. Yes I may crush you on the axe while wearing full armor.
In all honesty, I'm surprised I did as well as I did with those big bulky gloves on lol.

My latest Pokemon art piece, based on the design from @poke_monty. Go check out his page for even more Poke Card Art. I occasionally make these as gifts.

Cheat Code Enabled: Small Head Mode ON

This past Halloween Eve I finished and wore the Lego Batman suit to play Lego Batman featuring Lego Batman as....Lego Batman. Now that he's finished and the video is done, it's time to send him off to his forever home.

The perfect physical form does not exi-

Being this wide definitely shortens my legs lol.
Last run for my forklift helmet before I gifted it to a fellow 405th member after the con. It had a good run, but it's time to move forward with new projects

A sense of closure. Went to TORG last weekend to buy some merch and hang out with some 405th members. And to get some retribution after missing most of last TORG due to a kidney stone. They coaxed me into joining the cosplay competition. Not really something I do at cons, but I had nothing else going on so why not. Ended up taking 1st place in the Advanced category. Though to be fair....I was the only one in Advanced...

Either way, got a cool looking trophy, and some cash, to which I bought something I've searched for for a long time. The Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Controller! I like to collect weird peripherals, and it doesn't get any weirder than this one.

Can't believe this suit is coming up on 5 years old. Meanwhile, I can't believe I'm coming up on 37 years old. Though I think it's finally starting to show with all that gray in my hair...

Latest build: A Rickenbacker 4003 Bass guitar, usable for Rock Band or Guitar Hero. Based off the one Scott Pilgrim uses. Made from wood, some 3D printed parts, and of course a Rock Band guitar for the guts.
