Howdy,
My name is Venger
(that's a hard 'g' sound, NOT pronounced [Ven'jer], there are specific reasons for this particular pronunciation; if you are curious inquire directly) and I'm just another freelance bloke who likes to make stuff. Incidentally I also like the MMORPG Runescape, by Jagex. Considering the smaller scale this game sees in the prop and cosplay world, and given my long standing love of the game, I strive to make things from this medium. I don't strictly hold myself to making Runescape props exclusively, but it's what I'd like to be known by.
I have been following Bill Doran of Punished Props of late, and, inspired by his New Year's Challenges that he made, took on a few of my own. One such challenge was to make a Runescape prop each month, posting about it publicly, both to share my work and keep me inspired and motivated. Admittedly we are still fresh into the year of 2016, so legitimate reason for this ambition to fall on its face exists, but so far it's gone well. I have a blog over on
Tumblr where I ramble on about where I am in a build as each week goes by, as well as providing WIP pics. I've never really been proactive on the latest social software, so I'm unsure where to congregate completed pics, but for the moment they reside on my Tumblr as well.
I joined RPF because every prop maker I know, (Volpin, Sorenzo, Tested, and Punished Props to name but a few) all recommend and boast of the RPF. Considering this forum would seem to align with my natural desire to craft and build and share it with those like-minded, it seemed just as natural to join in on the band wagon. I'm no stranger to tinkering and keeping my hands busy, but to mingle with those of the same talent is a little nerve-wracking for me. Pardon me if I get a little verbose or stoic in my writing; it's a normal response to nervousness with me.
If it doesn't obtusely offend those assembled, Imma go lurk a bit in the Halo section. Contrary to my Runescape origins in prop making, I want to build a full suit of MJOLNIR amour oh so much. Thanks for letting me squeeze on in here. I look forward in great anticipation to hanging out here.
