Re: Skull Knight Costume

I think I have to agree that this is far beyond badass. I've always wondered how exactly people plan out and prepare extremely detailed cosplays/armors/etc like this. Is that the main sort of material you work with or do you use others as well? (fabric, metals, etc) I can work with metal, but I lac...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

Could you make a short video and post it? I would really like to see it in motion :o When the client comes for a test fitting next month--that's the plan.

Re: Skull Knight Costume

Woah, that's incredible. How long did the design stage take? How does it feel when you wear it? Is it heavy? Also, I wonder if the real skull knight wears eye-liner under the helmet? :D Thanks. I designed each element as it was being made, so it's hard to say how long it took. The heaviest part is ...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

Thanks for the compliments all. This project has been about a years worth of blood, sweat and tears. Mostly sweat. I did alot of the clay work in the house in front of the TV watching Adult Swim at night. Once the molds were made I was able to cast the parts and assemble the whole costume alot quick...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

This looks really amazing. The painted texture really brings it all together and makes it look less fakey. What does it sounds like when you walk around in it? It might be nice to add some random metal parts on the inside that can make a light "ching-ching" sound when moving. That's actua...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

Well, this was the dress rehearsal before Dragon*Con. A few things to take care of. First, I dropped the chest plate and broke off one of the spikes--easy fix though. I think it's funny that it's the same spike that broke off in the manga. Had to trim the back t get it on, need tighter strapping for...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

I started to attempt to put him together on the manniquin. He looks funny to me without the arms and cape. The leg armour is drooping a little because the straps are slipping on the smooth surface of the manniquin. And he is taller than I am so imagine the ribs coming down a little. Also the shoulde...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

Sword and shield are done. Painted all the parts as well except the finger armour which I had to farm out to be done (no time before Dragon*Con). Thanks Big_Water99 the fingers look great! http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/JtotheP/100_3496.jpg http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/JtotheP/10...

Re: Skull Knight Costume

New update: shoulder pads tacked in place and bottom spikes, before leg armour. These are just held in place to get a feel for the whole costume. They might be a tad uneven right now, till I fully mount them. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/JtotheP/100_3489.jpg Even though the cape is going ...

Skull Knight Costume

This has been a long time project that I'm finally getting close to finishing, so I thought I'd share. A while ago I made a collectible bust of skull knight. and then someone decided they wanted the whole "shootin' match" So I bought a manniquin and away I went. Mostly sculpted out of clay...
