Description Ryu the Argonian is my avatar from the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I wanted something that said "Skyrim Argonian" yet "original character."

Approximately 800 hours of work and $500 worth of materials went into creating this character. He was started in August of 2017 and finished in July 2018. The outfit features an articulated jaw, blinking eyes (which had to be sacrificed for my own comfort), approximately 7" stilts, articulated tail, lizard hands, "follow-me" eyes, and a variety of natural props (animal skulls, feet, horns, and herbs/spices). This was my first time attempting anything this large, and despite the outfit being a bit toasty and uncomfortable, I am very happy with the outcome.

It's been a great run this year and I am absolutely honored to have won Best in Show. I do plan to compete in the future, and I have ambitious plans for the next outfit. Stay tuned for future updates!

That tail though. I can't help but think it's heavy. How did you attach it?

It's not too heavy, actually. c: It's made entirely of foam. A belt is attached to it and can be adjusted however I'd like! It's super comfortable! I could hardly tell I was wearing it all day!

Holy CRAP. 800 hours?!

That is...that is just glorious.

Congratulations on the well-deserved win.

It was a long project, but definitely worth it in the end!
Thank you very much! I fully intend on uploading more photos of the outfit, including some progress pics as well. Stay tuned for those!
