Description Estimated 11 feet when extended, about 4 when retracted.  If any of you have seen my twitter, you've probably seen the fruits of my labor from the pictures I retweeted.  This is my cosplay of Vax'ildan from the web series Critical Role.  Photo by @Megzilla87 on twitter.  Location: GenCon50.

Literally got a bit starry eyed and thought "sempai noticed me!"  ^_^

Thank you for the compliment.  And thank you for being a source of inspiration.  Years ago I saw the video and breakdown of your wings and promised myself I'd make a pair like that.  These wings are the result.  

Next project, wings. 3.0.  ^_^

SO MAJESTIC.
I doubt I have the time/motivation to make anything quite so fancy anytime soon, but what tutorials did you use to upgrade them off your arms?

Thank you!  ^_^  The One Wing still exists as it is, but the same method I used to make the feathers I repeated for the Wings.  I have the links for various tutorials on my twitter.  twitter.com/peachnewt  I'll make a separate journal later with more links and a summary of GenCon.
