[Cosplay] Galacta Knight shield

Description

This is...the first cosplay-related thing i've posted? Whoah man, I gotta get more of my stuff up here!

Well, this is my Galacta Knight shield, which I'm intending to use as a prop for a gijinka cosplay of him. Little else needs to be said, except that I'm also doing a similar build-along of my GK lance, mask and armor, which I'm still working on at the moment.
...I'll be honest, the first time I ever considered cosplaying Galacta Knight was a moment that happened a few years ago, when I was making a paper crane. When I unfolded the paper, I noticed that the creases were folded in a suspiciously familiar pattern.
And then it struck me. "Hey, doesn't this look like the cross on Galacta's shield?"

...And so it was done.
[Paper cranes get even more useful when I actually use one to trace onto my Galacta shield XD]

Also -- the gijinka!Galacta on the bottom's design is still pending. Unlike Meta Knight, Kirby, and most other Kirby characters, I never had my own headcanon of what gijinka Galacta looked like. Over time I ended up making my headcanon, but the design of him I'm cosplaying is going to be pretty much a combination of all the things I like seeing in gijinka Galacta.
that is totally not corgs' galacta lulz

The day after I saw this, I looked up how to make a paper crane and unfolded it, and yep, it's there!
