In two week I'll be visiting the Elf Fantasy Fair (also known as Elfia). Like last year I really wanted to build a costume of the newest assassin. Last year however, we got 2 CGI trailers and a bunch of concept art and even some screenshots at the beginning of March. This presented me with the oppertunity to work on Edward for two full months. This year we got nothing apart from 5 leaked images (thank you for that, but next time higher resolution please ) and a sneak peak trailer at the end of March. This gave us a nice and detailed reference of the shoulder and side portion of the new assassin I will now refer to as "Unity" (the rumoured "Arno" seems weird for someone of French herritage, "Arnaud" or "Arneaux" would make more sence) and a lot of low resolution front, back and side references.

Since the design of the character did seem less complicated (compared to Connor, Edward or Ezio) I took my 1 month of time and started drawning the pieces out. At first the lack of references was a pain in the butt, afterward it actually granted me with some artistic freedom. You are now looking at a part of the (unpainted and unweathered) weaponbelt setup that is a product of that freedom and own input. The references gave the following information: 1: A bigger patch of leather at the back. 2: A flintlock that is positioned in a diagonal matter, only partly covered with leather itself. 3: The scabberd is connected at the back with a ring and strap of leather, positioned at the bigger leather patch. 4: The scabbard consists of two leather pointy straps directed to the sword. After that I tried to look for similar scabbards and flintlock holsters (historicly these were actually almost only used at horses XD) and came up with these references (just examples from the loads of pictures I found or used): www.lutel-handicraft.com/files… and www.deviantart.com/art/Pirate-… .

I'm actually pretty proud on what I managed to do with 3,20 euros of old leather belts. Next to that you can look at my flintlock replica which I weathered down a bit. I never used it for Connor or Edward because I only have one of those, not two or four. Next to that a close up of one of the two Edward cutlasses. I actually want to replace that with a rapier someday .

So, all summed up: second-hand store belts made into a highly imagenery weaponsetup based on low resolution references. Now as a gift to the people who actually read this description: I guess some people will be interested in the actual costume. Well, I'm half-way finished with the coat, but I'll probably change the collar. Next to that, judge by yourself: sta.sh/0cdcv1yelmt .

Thank you for your attention!
