Ryan Wells is a cosplayer and fabricator who lives in Oregon.  I cannot say enough good things about the awesome projects he turns out, I’m constantly impressed by his ability to create these beautiful pieces.  I first found his work through a posting a friend of mine did of a giant rat sitting across from her at a restaurant during a convention, and I shrieked out loud, because I recognized the character from the animated film The Secret of Nimh, based on the children’s book of the same name.  In delving further into Ryan’s works, I was amazed by his range and craftsmanship.  His next work-in-progress is a Rocket Raccoon, and I cannot WAIT to see how that turns out.
