Twitch Armor | AtomBombBody

I've been meaning to come up with something, a prop or a weapon to write supporters names on, and I finally took the time to sit down and really think about it.

I thought, why stop at one piece? Why not make a whole cosplay based on the people who support me?

So that's where this design came in. Lightly inspired by World of Warcraft and Diablo, I created this Twitch Subscriber armor. However, it won't just be for people who subscribe on Twitch, Patrons will get their names on this as well.

I started by using Evil Ted Smith's forearm armor template. (You can find it here: https://eviltedsmith.com/shop/arm-pattern/) Because I have an excess of foam floor mats, thats the type of foam I used for this which is about 8-9mm thick?

Unfortunetly it's a little too big for my arm, and I was too lazy to resize it, so the inside I'm just going to pad with foam for a tighter fit. Better too big than too small, amirite? ;)

I connected the two foam pieces together with Barge contact cement, and my seams were hella ugly. To kinda help, I used Kwikseal to help fill in the cracks.

I used the sanding bit on my dremel to smooth out the edges of the armor.

Home Depot had the perfect "Twitch Purple" colored spray paint.
