Cosplay is my dream

I have been wanting to cosplay for many many years now but never had the friends who were really into the same passions as me. I have 3 older brothers and I thank them for always standing up for me and what I love. I decided to come out of my shell and try and create the cosplay character of my dream which includes armor... wings.. and much more.Cost is roughly over $1500 for the props and armor. I'm getting married this year and can't afford this dream of mine to make, and attend the conventions so I seek help from others. I want to attend these conventions alone and live my dream of becoming one of my favorite all time characters. Becoming this character reminds me of my family being together and my brothers and I playing this rpg. Everyone has gone their seperate ways but if i created this they would be so proud of me. Thank you and hope you understand!! Reminds me of my family being one.
