Yeah, they get pretty complex. Of course a suit like that manticore is going to cost $$$$$$. The kind of suit I make runs around $1k. Lance’s stuff starts around $10K from what I hear, and I’m sure this manticore was more than that!
Ten thousand bucks is a lot of money, but converting that into hourly wage I’m sure it’s quite appropriate. There’s one artist who gets proper pay for his work.
