Drem Yol Lok! Professional Cosplayer
I’m Sam Geist (she/her), a professional cosplayer, artist, and propmaker based in sunny Central Florida, USA. I have been cosplaying and making props since 2014, when I was inspired to start by famous prop artists and my favorite video game, Skyrim. I now own and operate my own business selling handmade resin artwork, commissioned props and cosplay, competing with cosplay, and making professional cosplay appearances nationwide.
Over my years of self-taught cosplaying, I have gained experience working in a wide range of materials and techniques. These include but are not limited to: Armor making with Worbla and EVA foam, armor patterning, hand sculpting in both air dry and oil based clays, sewing, hand embroidery, satin stitching, tablet weaving, leather working (including shoe making and hand tooling), silicone mold making, resin casting, custom lighting and Arduino coding, 3D modeling and resin 3D printing. My capabilities also allow for easy reproduction of multiples, as well as custom 3D modeling for creating precision replicas.
As a professional cosplayer, my specialty lies in fantasy-centered armor and weapons. The more layers, techniques, and sculptural detail I can bring in to a cosplay, the more I will enjoy the challenge.
