I've made some templates for the leg armor from Alm. I will try to make templates of every piece of armor ^^

So... Yeah, I'm making Alm from Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia. Here is the easy part, his armor (the clothing will be a different story...) It will be part of a whole group cosplay ^^

 Torso

 Legs

Back
 Thigh thingy :P

 Everything will have battledamage like in the artwork.

Roy (Fire Emblem Awakening style) - part 1

The armor for the Demon Hunter is coming along nicely and the sculpting is also going great. So, in the meantime I'm building a sword ^^ It's made of 3 layers of plastazote (soft foam for LARP weapons that I got from Games'n'Stuff) and hard EVA foam from Proptimum (the orange one). This time I'm trying to keep it all foam and nothing else... except for some beads and a tassel :P
It will be part of the build for next year ^^



Some people may know this, but I'm trying to make Roy from Fire Emblem (Awakening style). Why? Because he's awesome ^^ The shoulder strap also got more filigree.

Demon Hunter - Part 2

And we have some colour ^^ I sprayed it silver and added some fine sand in de recesses. Painted dark brown (Dryad Bark from Games Workshop) and black (Abaddon Black also from GW) and wiped most of it off to leave a dark hue in the recessed areas and darkening the silver. Drybrushing Jokarero Orange from GW on the sand for the rust effect highlighting the metal with Runefang Steel and it turned into this ^^


Next in line is the left arm guard and the upper arm guard and finding some leather to turn it in straps for the buckles

Something else


This is for a new cosplay I'm working on, I hope to finish it for next year Abunai (because I'm not good with sewing his complicated shirt)  I'm trying to get this finished in a year time, hoping to wear it at Abunaicon here in the Netherlands ^^







This is part of a belt that sits on the shoulder, I don't have enough (fake) leather to make the rest of it... :(
Once in a while I will post pictures of random parts of the build.

Demon Hunter - part 1

It's been a while since I posted something. The last few months where one of my most difficult times I ever had. I lost my father and soon after that my girlfriend broke up with me... The only thing that kept me going was my motivation to become the best painter for Warhammer and to win a Golden Demon (which I will try next year).


But now I'm busy with something else to get my mind straight. I'm still going to finish my Legend of Zelda projects, but not now. So now I'm trying to make the Demon Hunter from Diablo 3. He's my main and his outfit looks easier than the Horadrim (still difficult though...)



The right arm guard is almost done. I only have to add the last border and then it's time to fill in the gaps, prime and paint (and adding some buckles after painting). I also started on the (fake) leather part of the left arm guard. It's just some fake leather on thin 2mm foam to give it some form. I only have to add the buckles, maybe some details on it and some snap buttons in it to attach the armor on it. I think most of the armor will be attached with snap buttons ^^
