I would absolutely look into distressing your clothes though

heres the axe when i transform it.

>>9197022
how do you think i should distress them?
also i dont wanna ruin the coat because it cost me over 200 and its something ill be able to wear outisde normally.
mostly because its so expensive.

>>9197077
Honestly the only way you'd be able to pull off that coat for everyday wear is if you lost forty pounds and if you already dress experimentally/stylishly on a day-to-day basis. Just run it over with your car a couple times, it'll look better that way.

>>9197085
i wear a tuxedo to work.

>>9197085
and im not fat im 6' 4" and 210.

>>9197091
The fact that you think that qualifies as stylish speaks volumes.

>>9197097
ill ruin everything any which way but if im gonna dirty the coat it needs to come off with dry cleaning.
also please dont attack me you were being pretty supportive until now.

>>9197101
>everything
meant to say everything else.

>>9197097
and maybe you misunderstood me, i wear a tuxedo because my job requires me to not because i think its stylish.

>>9197240
how much of that is legitimate armor?

>>9197251
All of it. I'm completely covered in steel.

Stuff looks good so far, but it's too clean and missing a good bit of details. Use sandpaper and watered down acrylic paint and just dirt. You're missing his weird chain bobber things and his chest belts/vest have a lot of little details.

>>9197240
I don't know it the flash is to blame, but your leather glove look fake. It shoudn't be glimmering like that.

Btw, someone posted a onedrive/dropbox of several template for the tabard.
Has someone saved the url ?

>>9197077
Oh shit the axe transforms thats kickass

It's hard to double up cosplay/actual normal life clothes.
If you're concerned about the jacket id suggest thrifting something similar to trash, I can't even suggest anything that would 100% be okay with dry cleaning even.

>>9197815
It's actual leather, I promise. Just not great photography.

And here's the URL, cheers:

Thanks. Nice.

I commend your effort for your elite knight set. It scream hard work.
Yet...
It's good for realism to take a entire haubergeon, but your mail is the most visible, and eye-catchy part of your set. maybe darken it with grease.
In the artwork and game, it's really a minor part of the set; used only to plug the hole of the plates on the arm, and between the legs. https://fr.pinterest.com/pin/353954851933432155/ here, is nearly all the mail you see on the set. Finding a good leathered gauntlet that take nearly all the arm will be impossible, you will have to upgrade another one. https://i.imgur.com/TnHUEMn.jpg


On your other arm, you need this. https://www.castel-bayart.com/265-thickbox/bras-d-armure-a-oreille.jpg (not this brand, this brand is the shittiest shit ), to connect your gauntlet to your pauldron. Speaking of that,

>>9197235 pauldron is falling off. Do you have a gambison ? you should attach it to that.

>>9198415
Ahh ok there is detail. However I believe his are grey. You can use watered down acrylic on them since they won't be bending.

>>9198566
I appreciate it. I know it's not perfect, but it could still be considered a WIP.

As for my loose pauldron, it was designed to be worn with a Gorget. Unfortunately, the Gorget made the tabard look like garbage, so I just had to jury rig the top of the pauldron on with suede cord. It stays on well enough, but it can look pretty precarious.

This one looks too clean looking for Father Gascoigne, but it looks badass anyway I admit.

Oh hey, I cosplayed Gascoigne last weekend on Elfia (a Dutch Fantasy Festival). I should have shaved my mustache for absolute accuracy but that really wouldn't fit me aside of cosplay.

>>9197572
your chainmail is made from aluminum....

>>9200706
>Armored Core cosplay

Only a small percentage of people would even know what you were, the rest would assume some Gundam show or something else. Not to mention how difficult that would be to make look good.

>>9201202
No, it's steel.

>>9201056
how the hell do you see out of your bandages? itried something like that and it just didnt work. and lucky for u can have the gun. i live in new york and id rather not take my chances with that with hiw things are here.

>>9201784
I used 'Thin H Bandages', they were thin enough to see through and I also stretched them a little bit on eyes to see better. Good you didn't take the pistol with you, how things are now in America i wouldn't risk it too. I had my pistol with me because I live in the Netherlands and pretty much nobody expects real guns here.

>>9202193
how much did your costume cost you all together?

>>9202351
(Second hand) Hat: 5€
Grey hair spray 2x: 5€
Cloth for the 'cape': 4€
(Second hand) Bedsheets for scarf: 1€
(Second hand) Grandpa pants: 2,50€
(Second hand) Flintlock pistol replica: 5€
Everything cost me about 22,50€. The rest I made myself or I had it already somewhere.

>>9202522
jesus christ your a wizard. the hat alone cost me 160.

>>9202543
Holy shit... what kind of hat costs 160 dollars? Did you try looking for stuff in thrift stores? How much did your costume cost all together?

>>9202565
>>9202566
overall it cost me about 550.
i originally only wanted gascoignes hat as a collectors item. so i went to proffessional hat maker and told him to custom order gascoignes hat and he chose this black wool flat top.
the coat cost me around 215 since its an actual coat that your supposed to wear normally.
the pants were 40 from mens wearhouse
the vest was my fathers.
the axe cost about 120 in materials since its able to transform on the fly just like in the game.
the beard and wig were both 20.
and thats pretty much it other than the leather belts on the vest that were 15.

>>9202598
> $550
is this a "normal" amount of money to spend on a cosplay ?

I'm already at 813,90 € and still not finished

>>9203349
depends on what your cosplaying as.

So disappointed in how this turned out. When I saw the head a long time ago I really thought it'd be great.

>>9202566
Hats that are meant to be worn regularly and not just for costumes cost that much. Or more.

>>9204531
The craftsmanship is baller, but they need to do something to fix the proportions. Also the jersey knit clothes showing through. Maybe they ran out of time before the event and just went with what they had.

>>9204531
Agreeing with other anon - craftsmanship is great, but it looks like the cosplayer just made stuff fit his own proportions, rather than trying to disguise them and make himself look more like a big buff knight.

I'm looking to cosplay Eileen, any tips? Should I make her weapons or would it work without it?

>>9205304
She pretty much needs her weapon IMO. I would start with the mask and go from there.

>>9202598
Do you have videos of it transforming? And how did you get to do that?

>>9205553
Damn that's a good costume! How did you make the blades look like steel?

>>9205678
Thanks. The blades were ABS that I sanded down and used a silver enamel. Then I dry brushed on a couple of different colors (burnt sienna, raw umber, black, and a small bit of yellow) and did a black wash at the end. The blades trick with magnets just like all of my other trick weapons.

>>9205692
Holy shit this is impressive. How many trick weapons did you make anon?

>>9197581
I'm also working on a bloody crow cosplay, but I can't find a similar coat where I live. How hard would it be if I decided to make one from scratch out of linen? Thankfully all of the other materials are accounted for, I even got fake blood and everything.

>>9205937
I've made a functioning Burial Blade, TBoM, Cikage, Rakuyo, and I'm working on a saw blade.
>>9207479
We had made our own pattern for it and used 100% cotton bottom weight. It took a lot of seam ripping to get the shape right.

Shortening the dress was a little unnecessary. I think the Choir set is one of the few that is better clean than weathered, but that's just me.

>>9209245

Not a bad idea, that'd be a good compromise.

How would one go about making a ornstein cosplay? Specifically the spikier parts of his armor and the helmet.

Very much appreciated!

The Tabard itself is easy to make, structurally. The actual "floral" crest on it was done with gold fabric paint, using a stencil. I found the actual design here:
