I recently added a collar and bought some gold chains and whatnot to make it a bit more regal. Also, pardon the shitty photoshop.
Can you post an unedited photo so we can see what it actually looks like?
This costume looks like it could’ve come straight out of Elden Ring. Only suggestion I’d give seeing the unedited photo is that i feel like the patina on the headpiece has a much starker contrast between the corroded green and the more copper-ish/bronz-y areas. I think if the bronze looked more dull and faded as well would probably blend a bit better.
Please don’t take that the wrong way, overall it’s still a kick ass costume, just some small thoughts i had that might help if you make anything else in this style down the road :)
Dude the progress on this costume has been fun to watch! It looks legit AF!!!
Took me a second to realize that was a traditional halo, really cool idea.
Is that a historical deep cut these days? I feel like it shouldn’t be, but I’m also a big nerd with opinions on the Carolingians.
The crown is a replica of the crown from The Green Knight. I can’t take credit for thay ingenious costume design. But I really wanted to use it in my own costume.
I have no idea who this ex-king is, but that is a badass costume.
Well done.
He is my own character. He was a soldier, later knighted after some heroic deeds. He helped save his kingdom and realm from an evil. The king died in the final battle, and due to his status, prominence and skill as a leader and general good nature he was made king of this kingdom. He became corrupted by his own power, taking the peoples admiration and worship too far and actually seeing himself as a god. He started abusing his power, and the people did not want to risk another evil like the one previously defeated. The people overthrew him and locked him up in a darkest deep dungeon to rot. Some indescernable amount of time later he is resurrected for reasons. However, it was botched, leaving him part skeletal and part bloated corpse (that last bit is mostly to excuse an overweight skeleton lmao, might omit that part when I lose weight). So yeahhhhh. I created this character and I’m using a fantasy novels universe my brother was writing ages ago to place his character and build his backstory.
Sorry for the wall, but now you have some idea!
That’s even better that it’s created of your own inspiration. lol @ overweight skeleton…I’m working on a Vader costume myself and vader will have been eating pretty well in my alternate universe.
Exceptional work! It’s been super fun to see the progression of the costume, and the final result is certainly worth the wait.
