“Don’t worry my friends. I am your shield.”

We feel safe knowing Gabby AKA Candyskull as Overwatch‘s hammer-swinging, power armored, earth-shattering Tank hero has our backs. Check out the amazingly-detailed armor she made herself in the following photoset:

Still can’t believe how quickly this weekend went by!!! I met so many amazing people and made some incredible new friends! Now sitting here while I recover from armor fatigue (ITS A REAL THING MY BODY HATES ME RIGHT NOW) I’m trying to decide what the next project will be! It’s crazy to go to a convention and be so inspired by all of the amazing cosplayers!!! Ahh!!! 📸 by @ewide

A fantastic shot of Rein Daddy from the Ready Player One Premier last night! 📸 by the super awesome @alexxdaniellerod ! I really love this shot because it shows off all the detail in the shield generator. Rein held up very well for the official last test run before dallas, I need to patch a small bit of paint and heat gun the wrinkles out of everything and HE IS GOOD TO GO! I’m so excited for next weekend!

Also I am officially panic detailing Reinhardt because as of yesterday I am OFFICALLY entered in the Fan Expo Dallas masters of cosplay contest! I’m super nervous and in full panic mode because I need to make a full body suit and a surprise element for on stage!! Ahhhhhhh I’m so nervous, I’ve seen some of the other people who are entering and I’m officially pooping my pants! AH!

You guys I’m seriously going to die carrying this hammer around. It is so freaking heavy, it’s gotta be like 20 pounds, that may not sound like much… but ITS FREAKING HEAVY . But here’s a 360 of the updated paint job and the hammer so far! I’ve decided to make the helmet, and eventually some foam *underwear* just because I feel like my butt looks so blank… what do you guys think?
