Dude, super happy that you find so much joy in that picture, it’s great seeing someone enjoy their hobbies and interests.
I feel no one has pointed out what makes the armor work, i. e. the rough, heavy cloth, really makes it look medieval - at least it’s the combination of that cloth and the leather that sells it for me.
May I ask what fabric you used? Some raw cotton or linen?
So the course basket weave fabric is actually my hood which is a modified kylo ren hood I bought back in 2016. I just looked and the shop no longer sells it.
Such a sick photo
It really is! So happy to have such a high quality photo of this armor now!
Could put that on a resume for a prop designer
Bro is using that black mist filter.
Looks cool dude!
Appreciate it!
I don’t know you! That’s my purse!

It was a photo of opportunity at a very large, sold out renaissance festival. The fact that there are only 2 people in the background is a miracle. Cool your boots buddy.
It’s not really necessary to criticize when they just wanted to share a picture of themselves they enjoyed.
The photo was successful if it made the OP happy after their hard work on the costume.
Great costume, beautifully photographed, love it!
What magic do you do?
Some basic incantations, maybe a couple defensive carian spells.
That’s pretty wicked!
What’s the story with the colored material in the corked bottles?
They are “potions” red for health, blue for mana.
They are also sneaky sneaky way to smuggle in “Water”.
That was a really nice touch
I hope you wear this to DnD sessions.
The health potion made me think it’s a D&D cleric, but D&D doesn’t have a mana concept, so the blue potion has me confused. It doesn’t seem like a WoW outfit, but that’s what I would associate mana potions with. Whatever it is, it looks bad ass!
Ah yes, the only 2 pieces of medieval fantasy media in existence: DnD and WoW
This outfit is heavily inspired by Elden Ring. It’s the Tarnished version of my character Astor.
Awesome! 8 haven’t played that game yet. How did you get the liquid to be so opaque? My wife made some potions for a costume once, but they were a lot more translucent than yours. Is the armor real metal armor, or is this 3d printed? It looks amazing!
The potions are “water” with food dye and food safe glitter. They are really shimmery and really sell the potion illusion.
The armor is metal! I painted and weathered it.
You did an amazing job.
Thank you! Here’s some progress pics of 2 of my helmets.
Before and after weathering https://imgur.com/gallery/FgjXBOe
Super cool! The pointy topped helm looks way better. Great choice going with that one. How did you build those? Do you have a blacksmithing station at home? A forge?
Wish I could! Unfortunately I don’t have a group. Even if I did, I don’t have a ton of time to commit to it :(
Me getting ready to head into the work office. Jokes aside, what an awesome costume and design
Thanks so much! Really happy with it!
Cool picture.
FYI Lemmy is starting to hug of death his poor site lol.
No offense but you look like you praise the sun.
I am a foul tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring… Emboldened by the flame of ambition.
Poor guy has never even met Solaire of Astora.
