Description
Mage robes of the Champion, made and modeled by me! Chainmail, armour and all
We did this shoot at sunrise on the Desert Road, and it was incredibly unpleasant. We left Wellington at midnight to hit the desert by 4am, to give us time for dressing and a couple of shoots - I had Morrigan from Origins to shoot as well, but with the temperature outside...yeah, no! I was cold enough as it was :/The incredible staff was made by the lovely who made a beautiful Bethany costume that we shot at the same time

Gosh that armor looks fantastic. Just out of curiosity, what's it made out of?

Thank you! It's a cardboard base with wonderflex over the top. I then made it again for a customer, and did it in cardboard again for the base, with paper mache and fibreglass/resin over the top. If I were to do it again, I think I'd use Sintra or similar

Gosh thanks so much for the response. I've honestly never crafted any armor for a cosplay before, and I know this is kind of an intense first costume...but I really want to give it my best. I really had no idea where to start but this is great!

Ahh, first costumes are always amazing! Good luck! I definitely recommend starting with nice sturdy cardboard in that case - at least to practise with. The biggest problem I found after my costume was that my scaling was slightly off - the upper portions I did okay with, but I made the leg plates a bit too big, and walking was very not elegant

Hee. Now that I have played DA2 I can see how PERFECT your costume, and the setting was for Hawke/the Free Marches.

THANKS DUDE! Now that I'm making the costume again I can see a bunch of things that were wrong with mine/could have been done better; but I'm really pleased with how it photographed for that shoot
