Hi Riot, can I ask for your help?

Hello, I am Strigina and I am a cosplayer. Well, my cosplays are usually crap and I don't make more than one every year, but I still like how it sounds. Year ago I made Katarina cosplay. It wasn't something extra but I really put so much time, money, effort, sweat and tears into it. Here is how it looked like when I wore it for the first time. https://i.imgur.com/J7xtQ23.jpg I love Katarina so I tried to upgrade this cosplay a bit this year. This was the result. https://i.imgur.com/6U17cLw.jpg (upgraded the wig, breastplate, her throwing daggers and belts on her leg armor, but that one is not visible)

Yet I am still not satisfied and I plan to make it even better starting with the daggers. Now after browsing trough countless of them including various cosplayers, cinematics versions, ingame versions etc, those are the ones I like the most: https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/004/323/227/large/vadim-bakhlychev-03-relaxed-pose-prototype-522.jpg They were designed by Vadim Bakhlychev when he was designing Katarina unlocked statue, here is his ArtStation. My problem is I cannot find proper picture with the front view of the daggers where the shape is not a bit twisted because of the angle. So here is where I would love your help, Riot. Please, don't you have a picture I could use as a pattern? I downloaded Gimp yesterday, I am still not a friend with it but despite normaly giving up way to easily I am still determined to learn with this program, make the right shape based on said picture and try a completely new technique for me - cast the daggers from resin or rubber foam so they will be identical.

P.S. I hope I choose the right category for my post. P.P.S Sorry for the English. :-D

Hi friend! For league related 3d models, they're available at : http://www.lolking.net/

At the top right hand corner there's an option called '3d models' You can pick your champion and any skin you desire. :) It also shows every movement in the game, rest stances, taunts etc. You can turn the models in a 360 degree view.

Here is katarinas in her original skin: http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=55&skin=0

Hope this helps!

I really hate it when people use cell phones and not a decent proper (At least $100 to $200) camera for taking pictures.

Its just so damn ugly.
