So I began making training weapons out of Aluminium & Polyurethane sheeting, this now has become an integral part of DeMan Props.
I am a mixed media Artist making items, props, replicas, and unique items for cosplayers, theatre, collectors and anyone who wants a custom costume or hand crafted item. I first began making at a young age, I remember building swords out of scrap wood found lying around the garden as well as Archery bows made from bamboo found on the side of our local creek.

l build is a feeling I still feel to this day when I complete or work on a project and has been a drive for me ever since. Over the years I began creating and making costumes and props for friends and for myself, utilizing materials like home made paper mache’ out of flour and water. Making Knight’s Armour out of cardboard, paper mache’ and paint from the Helm & Armour to the Sword & it’s scabbard, I have always loved creating things from scratch and over the years as I changed the mediums I used from cardboard to leather, wood and metal and as a result my projects became more elaborate and likewise the feeling a job well done increased as well. One of the hidden treasures for me in regards to creating props and weapons for Cosplayers and collectors was the implementation of training weapons into the mix. I have been training in martial arts since I was 5 years old and as I changed styles over the years I have become familiar with different training weapons and a need for quality weapons used for training that are not as dangerous as current steel training weapons. Recently I began working in EVA foam & PVC and have found it almost as versatile as all of the previous mediums put together. Coupled with my 3D modelling skills learned from my Diploma in Interactive gaming I am able to 3D model custom pieces and print them using my 3D printer to truly create one of a kind designs for my customers. So I decided to begin making costumes and props with more dedication than just a passing hobby and this is where DeMan Props came into being, it is still a new venture in it’s infancy but that is the best part as you will be able to watch and interact and grow with me on my journey.

It's been a little while since I made a post here, I am still alive and well, doing commissions and learning new skills.
I am currently about to graduate from Academy of Interactive Entertainment (AIE) in the area of Game Art
It has been a wild ride and I have learned a lot of excellent new skills and refined some old ones as well. Met amazing talented people from Design, Programming and Art and even made a small game for our Major production
My role was Art Director and Lead Artist, I would like to share with you the game that we made. You can find it here:
Love what I do, and I love being able to make stuff for all of you!
I just want to share a little more of current works. I have a couple of commissions I will be sharing in the near future, so stay tuned

With out all of you, I would not be able to do what I love, which is making stuff for you! 😁

It's nice to see some of these prints coming to an end, it means I can make room for more!
What do you want to see next!?
If you are interested in a unique gift, your next cosplay idea or your favourite character I have 2 spots open on my commission board, send me a DM and I'd be glad to discuss your needs!

Took a break from all my current projects to take my special someone out for Date Night.
Was a great evening with many a laugh. Remember to stop and enjoy the little things once and a while. Recharge those batteries so you can keep shining as bright as you all do!

Not quite 3d printing or prop/costume building, but it with commissions picking up I thought it would be best to upgrade my work area so I can tackle these projects!
Bench is next and the sanding/spray booth

Here's a little update on current works.
Commissions are filling up fast. I will let you know when they close.
If you would like a commission, you can visit the link in my bio and fill it out to jump on one of the last spots, then it's the waiting list!

Out of all these projects only one is mine, can you guess which one?
12/07/2024
Bit of a play around with some l.e.d's, looking good. Was worth the wait, more on the way as new projects roll in that require them.
With Halloween around the corner, what should I make next?
10/07/2024
Love what I do, and I can't wait to see this finished. Going to work on the rest of the outfit as well, then go for a ride on my bike 😉
