Demyx Cosplay

Description

Picture taken by [link]

This is my Demyx cosplay, and yes, that sitar is entirely hand built by me, with assistance from a lackey who prefers to remain unnamed. It's a base of insulation foam, covered in plaster wrap, covered in vinyl spackling.

Lots of sanding. LOTS.

All the smaller parts and the faceplate are hardwood.

The strings are nylon, and no, the sitar doesn't actually play music. It was hard enough to make without trying to make it functional!

Full cost of materials was around $150, building time was about 2 months.

The sitar's name is Sylvia. Yes, I named her. If guys can name their cars, I can name my sitar. She's about 24 pounds total- so, if you plan to build one the same way, I hope you lift a lot of weights in your free time. She wasn't hard for me to carry around, but I regularly lift heavy weights, too. Lots of other people thought it would be too heavy to carry around, but I did it for three days, so...

Hope y'all like!
