What do /cgl/'s props look like? I assume many of you make your own. Do you put a lot of time into it or do you cut corners to save money on an already expensive hobby? I would think this is the spot to cheap out a little on and get creative with since props aren't really an essential part of the costume (usually) and people most likely aren't going to closely examine them. I want to get an idea of the average prop's quality.
Just popping in to say Rick and Morty is pretentious
First prop was an Eva armor piece
Redoing it now, but the first version was bumpy and used spray paint instead of airbrushing I'm going to do for this one
i don't know.... i'm trying to make the light bow from BotW and it'll be my first prop, and first cosplay.
thinking of just doing the typical EVA foam sandwiched together, with some support in the handle of the bow then covered in worbla and stuff...
(any advice appreciated..)
Personally im in the camp of go hard or go home.
If i cant make it, I find someone who can.

EVA foam and foam board can look good if done well and is way cheaper than fiberglass props. It's also way easier than building a cardstock model, applying resin, then applying resin and fiberglass, and then bondo, and then painting. The latter method is capable of producing a much nicer prop but takes way more money, time, and skill.
