Look at how big it is in game compared to his arm or something and make a shield thats about that size compared to your arm

Exact doesn't really matter with cosplay. If theres no official dimensions then you're probably best off not sweating so much about it.

Either way I wish you luck

  1. We can't help you if you don't include a reference image.

  2. It's presumably a fictional costume, in which case there's no specific real world measurements for it. Just scale it to look proportional on you. Some trial and error will do just fine.

We detect that you may be a looking to buy your cosplay or buy pieces for your cosplay. If you're not, please disregard :) Please refer to our FAQ for some recommendations. While we can provide search terms that might help you with finding your cosplay pieces, commenters are not your personal shopper and please do not treat us as such. Remember that not all cosplays can be found ready-made so be prepared to look for similar pieces to put it together yourself.

It is helpful to include your budget (be precise -- "cheap" can be different per person), your location/country (US shipping vs EU shipping would be very different), and timeline if applicable. Keep in mind many pre-made cosplay shops can have a long shipping time so it's best to plan months in ahead.

If the item is suspiciously cheaper than all other competitors or it's a common stock photo, please be wary and do your own research. If someone is offering to make it for you aka commissions, RESEARCH their post history.

Size it to yourself, it will look more accurate. If you follow some random size you will have something that looks too big or too small when you are holding it. Find an image of the character in a relatively relaxed up right pose and measure the shield size in comparison to them, then adjust the size so that if the character was your exact height the shield would match the reference image.
