I built a massive DIABLO shield with LIGHTS and SMOKE!

My Demonic Brigitte shield includes over 550 LEDs, has 4 different light animations and even a smoke machine build in! The design was made by Zach Fisher and is basically Brigitte from Overwatch in a custom Diablo skin. The shield is completely made out of EVA foam, is super lightweight and was mostly painted with airbrush colors from Vallejo. I'm really proud of the result and hope it might inspire you to get into crafting and fancy LEDs as well!

This is the best cosplay channel on KZbin and it's criminally underrated.

[@Ignotus_Spes]

By KamuiCosplay and her team (included the dogs!) i got inspared and begun making a own costum of carton.

[@user-jv7hs7zh2v]

@@Ignotus_Spes I am currently starting to cosplay too, this channel motivated me to do it too.

[@BoredxISxI]

I appreciate you leaving in the trial and error parts of your build. It's always reassuring to know that nobody gets it right the first time, so just try, try, try, and try again! :)

[@GeektoStudios]

Get here for Kamui crafts, stay for Benny taking one for the team and assembling the paper model

[@jurginvon]

Twice!

[@Maphrox]

I like how clearly you emphasize that these ridiculously high quality projects are a team effort between you and Benni, helps us loner-type cosplayers who don't cooperate on projects understand that it's not reasonable to expect to be able to do it all on our own : D

[@KamuiCosplay]

It‘s possible to do this alone but would definitely have taken twice as long x-)

[@Maphrox]

@@KamuiCosplay Fair point! I'll just say it's not reasonable for me to expect to be as fast as you then

[@ImCassy]

Anything can be done on your own. Things take time - if you feel it isn't possible to do it in a reasonable timeframe, there are less complicated projects that are more quick than this one.

[@jody024]

Having a corgi (or two) is also vital.

[@einfachkim6363]

[@Lu-dm7rn]

Guys, I need to say that I really appreciate that you keep using foam as your main material in most of your projects!! I stop following a lot of other cosmakers/ prop makers channels because all their work are done with 3D printers now, and seriously where's the fun in making some costume when all you do is just print the whole thing and the only work you have left is just paint and assemble 🙄🙄🙄 So really thank you for keeping your content towards the casual cosmakers that don't always have a 3D printer at home to "bake" an entire costume! Love you guys!! One day I'm surely getting all of your books to apply all of your knowledge into my projects!! ❤❤❤💕

[@KamuiCosplay]

Nothing wrong with using 3D printers I think but I wouldnt use it to make an entire costume x-)

Yeah, I just noticed the "Chapters" feature on the timeline! Is that new to KZbin, or do people just not use them?

[@xReDxTuRtLeZx]

that looks amazing. the leds and smoke really put it over the edge to make it 11/10.

[@RyukoPresents]

I really appreciate you detailing your mistake and correction with the size/scale of the Diablo head. I feel pretty silly when I make mistakes that take A LOT of time to correct, so it's nice to see your process with that as well.

[@caroladeschamps9205]

I got my books today now I cant wait to get started

[@auroramanca6676]

You can add the missing spike with magnets, so you can remove them when you have to transport the shield

[@CrankyPantss]

That’s an incredibly beautiful piece. The skill, talent, and dedication of you both is so impressive. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@jonascale]

I would absolutely love to see a video on how you switch between many different modes!!

[@TruthSurge]

100% NOT into cosplay but that shield looks uhMAZING. wow, the sculpted head looks so solid and heavy but I know it's just foam and the lights really just look FIRE - literally. That foam clay... seems like a great way to sculpt larger things where you really don't want them weighting 10 to 50 pounds. Interesting stuff!

[@TheJedaiHero9000]

One word: EPIC!!!! Really liked and enjoyed watching this. Shield is MOST DEFINITELY AWESOME looking!!!!

[@NJFLIPPER]

Svetlana & Ben, I just found your channel yesterday and I am AMAZED. I don't really know much about cosplay or the characters themselves, but it really doesn't matter. Your videos and the things that you guys create, are INCREDIBLE. I am no stranger when it comes to creating & making stuff, but the videos that I have seen so far, left me speechless. I almost forgot....your video about the reality and responsibilities of being a pet owner, was such a great thing to do. Thank you for everything that you do. Sending you guys some love from New Jersey, USA. Keep up the great work and be safe!

[@MrShaundra]

ASTOUNDING! SUPERIOR! You are QUITE the FABRICATOR!!! I can't even imagine how much you would charge for such a creation! AMAZING!!!

Watching your videos gives me a huge confidence boost when working on my own cosplay pieces. I love that included the trial and error phase in making this, showing that we shouldn't be let down because of mistakes along the way. One can see the dedication and passion poured into this piece alone, what more once you have donned the entire set! It's a masterpiece of love. Fingers crossed I hope I can get your books to be shipped over to my country
