We built a super simple, lightweight set of costume wings for Skymone's Sprite Darter cosplay! Usually I build complex animatronic cosplays, but working on something light-hearted like this was a breath of fresh air. World of Warcraft has had a huge influence on me, so it was exciting to work on a project based on such a rich, colorful universe. Let me know what you think!
