NDK DAY THREE.

This is what OuterRim is all about.

Taking a character you love and figuring out how to make that story wearable.

Katie brings the tailoring, fit, fabric, and soft goods.

Todd brings the armor, props, 3D work, paint, and weathering.

Most of the magic happens somewhere in the middle.

That’s us.

We’re a Colorado custom costume studio, and we’d love to meet you if you’re at NDK today.

Come find us.

NDK DAY THREE.

This weekend has been a good reminder of why we started OuterRim in the first place.

We take characters people love and figure out how to make them real enough to wear.

Katie handles the fit, tailoring, fabric, and all the soft goods. Todd handles the armor, props, 3D work, paint, and weathering.

Then we build the rest together.

That partnership is really what OuterRim is.

If you’re at NDK today, come find us and tell us what character you’ve always wanted to wear.

NDK DAY TWO.

The booth is busy, the costumes are out, and this is exactly why we love doing this.

OuterRim Creatives is built by two people who see costumes very differently, and that’s what makes the partnership work.

Katie sees fit, fabric, movement, tailoring, and finish.

Todd sees armor, props, structure, paint, weathering, and how to make fictional pieces work in the real world.

Then we build it together.

That back and forth has shaped OuterRim from the beginning. We challenge each other, fix problems together, and care way too much about details most people will never notice.

The right people notice.

And NDK is full of those people.

We’re a Colorado custom costume studio creating one-of-a-kind builds for people who want to wear the character, not just dress like them.

If you’re here today, come find us.

If you’re not, tell us the character you’d trust us to bring to life.

NDK Day Two, and we are right in the middle of it.

The booth is busy, the costumes are out, and we’ve already had some great conversations with people who love this stuff as much as we do.

That’s one of our favorite parts of conventions.

OuterRim Creatives is a Colorado custom costume studio, and every build comes from the two of us working together.

Katie brings the tailoring, fit, patterning, fabric, drape, and finish.

Todd brings the armor, props, 3D fabrication, paint, weathering, and structure.

But after years of building side by side, it’s never really that simple. We bounce ideas off each other, solve problems together, push each other when something isn’t quite right, and keep working until the character feels like the character.

That partnership is at the center of OuterRim.

If you’re at NDK today, come find us. We want to see your cosplay, hear what you’re building, and talk about the character you’ve always wanted to bring to life.

And if you’re following from somewhere else, tell us this:

What character would you want OuterRim to build for you?

OuterRim Creatives is at NDK for the first time.

We’ve got the booth set up, costumes out, and we’re surrounded by exactly the kind of fandom chaos we love.

If you’re at Nan Desu Kan this weekend, come find us.

Katie brings the tailoring, patterning, fit, fabric, and finishing.

Todd brings the armor, props, 3D fabrication, paint, weathering, and structure.

Together, we build the whole character.

That’s really what OuterRim is about. Taking something that exists on a screen, page, or piece of concept art and figuring out how to make it real enough to wear.

We’re a Colorado costume and fabrication studio, and we love working with people who care about their characters as much as we do.

So stop by. Show us what you’re wearing. Talk shop with us. Tell us about the costume you’ve always wanted to build or commission.

We’d love to meet you.

NDK, we finally made it.

This is our first year at Nan Desu Kan, and OuterRim Creatives is here all weekend.

If you’ve ever looked at an anime character and thought, I want that costume to actually look like THAT, come find us.

That’s what we build.

Katie handles the tailoring, patterning, fit, fabric, drape, and finishing that make a costume move like it belongs to the character.

Todd handles the armor, props, 3D fabrication, structure, paint, and weathering.

Then we bring both sides together until the whole character feels right.

We’re a Colorado costume and fabrication studio building custom, convention-ready cosplay for people who care about the details.

If you’re at NDK this weekend, stop by the booth. Show us your cosplay. Tell us what you’re building. Tell us which character has been living in your head for way too long.

We want to meet our people.

Wolf O’Donnell was never going to show up quietly.

This costume needed the purple, the claws, and that huge Star Wolf insignia across the back. It had to feel cocky, dangerous, and just a little louder than Fox McCloud would appreciate.

Katie Strength built the jacket from the ground up. She handled the patterning, fit, color blocking, and all those purple and magenta panels. Getting that enormous graphic to sit correctly across the back wasn’t easy, but she pulled it off beautifully.

Todd Welch made the armor, gauntlets, and claws, then painted and weathered everything until it felt like Wolf had actually been out there causing problems in the Lylat System.

This costume shows exactly why we work so well together. Katie knows how to make a character’s clothing fit and move on a real person. Todd builds the harder pieces and brings in the wear, damage, and attitude. Somewhere between the sewing machine, the printers, and a lot of purple, Wolf showed up.

Built together by Katie and Todd here in Colorado.

So, be honest. Are you flying with Star Fox or Star Wolf?

Day three. We’re still here. We’re still building things in our heads while talking to people. And yes, we’re still nerding out over your costumes.

OuterRim is really Katie and Todd bringing two completely different skill sets to the same table.

Katie makes fabric behave. She handles the tailoring, patterning, fit, drape, finishing, and the tiny details that make everything feel right.

Todd gets the armor, props, 3D printing, paint, weathering, and fabrication side.

Then we meet in the middle and build the character.

That’s us.

If you’re at Colorado Springs Comic-Con today, come find the OuterRim booth. Show us your cosplay. Tell us what you’re working on. Tell us what you want to build someday.

We genuinely want to meet you.

Colorado-made. Convention-tested. Very nerdy.

Day three at Colorado Springs Comic-Con.

At this point we’re tired, caffeinated, probably covered in thread and paint somewhere, and still having a ridiculous amount of fun.

OuterRim really is the two of us smashed together creatively.

Katie handles the sewing, tailoring, fit, fabric, patterning, and all those little details that make a costume actually sit right on a real human body.

Todd handles the armor, props, printing, paint, weathering, structure, and the occasional “I think I can build that” decision that gets completely out of hand.

And that partnership is a huge part of what makes OuterRim what it is.

If you’re at Colorado Springs Comic-Con today, come find us. We’d love to meet you, see what you’re wearing, talk fandom, and hear about the character you’ve always wanted to become.

We’re here for day three. Come say hi.

DAY TWO and Colorado Springs Comic Con is FULL.

Seriously. This place is alive today.

We’ve been meeting cosplayers, talking builds, checking out costumes, and having a damn good time.

If you’re here, come find Todd + Katie at the OuterRim Creatives booth.

Katie brings the tailoring, fit, fabric, and finishing.

Todd brings the armor, props, 3D printing, paint, and weathering.

Together, we build the stuff we love.

Come see the costumes. Show us yours. Talk fandoms with us. Talk commissions. Or just come say hi.

We want to meet you.
