Drogon was the first cosplay I ever built, and it completely changed the direction of my work. Going into it, I knew I didn’t just want a costume — I wanted to create something that felt alive. That meant combining structure, movement, and illusion in a way that would bring the character off the screen and into the real world. That approach paid off when this build earned Best in Show, and it became the foundation for how I design and build every piece today.
