Making a dragon costume is no easy feat. Especially when you spend two months making it and it wrecked me to no end. 12-hour workdays were really a thing for me at this point since I was crunching a hard deadline.

I was creating a dragon costume for the convention “BlizzCon.” Sadly, I didn’t win, but I gained a ton of experience with foam and 3D prints during the process of making this. I mean how many foam dragon costumes have you even seen being worn?

So cool! I love it! It must have taken so much planing, work and dedication. It looks amazing! I hope there's some kind of cooling system inside and that you get enough air to breath in it. I'm guessing you're looking through the dragon's mouth and breathe through it's neck?
