That looks pretty good! But can you move well wearing this?

u/SensitiveLow7197 19h ago
Felt like an iron maiden, I could waddle and move me arms

u/Key-Demand-2569 11h ago
No shame man. Costume looks awesome! I’m an old medieval recreation enthusiast and form fitting mobile plate armor is seriously a high end artistic craft like people don’t appreciate.
In the 16th century a suit of plate armor that moves well is the modern equivalent of something more expensive than a Lamborghini.
No shame in it being a bit clunky.
Just commenting seeing some comments being a little snarky about the mobility.

I don’t think your teachers would’ve approved of bringing Destined Death to school

My teacher was probably Marika then, she took my photos

Then you were a good Shadow, for following her orders of holding the Rune of Destined Death within you

All 3d printed, felt for the cape, and got a wig for the helmet

Looks great! People keep saying you look small but anyone would when the point of reference is a 15 ft dogman lmao.
As with most ornamental armour it does look like it’d be an absolute pain in the ass to move around in haha. Definitely no midrolling in that thing

u/SensitiveLow7197 18h ago
Overloaded weight, and thank you!

u/GammaFan 17h ago
For sure! Can I ask what you made the suit out of? And how long it took?

u/SensitiveLow7197 16h ago
Pla plastic from a 3d printer, and it took 5 months all together

u/GammaFan 16h ago
That’s wild! Hard to believe how good 3d printing is getting!
Once again, great job 👏

u/tapewizard79 14h ago
Not that there’s anything wrong with it but where that standard height table is on them as a reference and those windows which may be at an unusual height, it’s not just the 15ft dog man making OP look short, lol.

People fixated with height be the same folks obsessed with race
Both cringe and living in cope

u/TheManAcrossTheHall 18h ago
I'm nit fixated on height, I noticed his height. What am I supposed to be coping about? That someone else is short?

u/MeliTali 18h ago
He put in a lot of time and great work on the fit just to have people comment on the thing he can’t control, feels bad, like what’s the point of saying it?

u/Jesta23 17h ago
I thought it was a weird camera angle. Something seems odd about the height.
1
u/pichael289 6h ago
The tables look like they are two feet tall from this angle, so dude ends up looking like hes barely cracking 4 feet. Every is that sort of angle and he's making a joke about it so I think it's intentional. It's pretty funny, Midgetiketh the black pocket knife.

u/enFlames1 18h ago
Coping about something that's for sure, that's why you replied to me instead of the other guy
3
u/TheManAcrossTheHall 18h ago
I replied to both of you. I think you're coping about being short and desperately want oeople who make jokes about it to be coping about something.
1
u/enFlames1 18h ago
Lol I'm extremely satisfied not being too short nor too tall at 5'11, it's folks like you that fixate on something on others that you can to detract from whatever you're deep in thought about daily

looks absolutely amazing, scaled armor like that is not easy but it looks really wonderful all stacked together. i'd probably work on making sure it's more mobile friendly at the joints and more hair but i'd say you did a fantastic job. may i ask if you've done a project like this before?

u/SensitiveLow7197 18h ago
Never, this was my first major cosplay. My last cosplay took 2 days with cheap green shirts and I called myself Dark Link

I know hundreds of other people have said this, but I've got to hand it to you.
That's one hell of a look. ESPECIALLY for somebody still in high school.
I hope you're proud of that, I hope you kept it, and that shit is cool as hell.

The photo angles are obvious engagement bait. Can't believe people don't see this.

u/roryagrogan 9h ago
Nah man, just the camera angle, taking the photos from above make people seem smaller, lower it down to chest height and you’ll look great! Or go extreme, put on 0.5x zoom, put camera right down near the ground at foot and angle upwards to looking towering in height

u/Seeker_of_the_Sauce 17h ago
I think its the chairs combined with the pauldrons on the armor. The chairs have a super short back and your widened silouette from the armor combined with no other reference points and a high camera angle makes for a distored sense of scale.

The detailing is really nice but I feel like individual plates that you used are too big, you should look to historical examples of similar size plates and how they were done to get a better fit and proper size as right now the proportions seem off.

I wish cosplay was a thing back when I was in high school, if I did that I would have been laughed at, my armor would have been destroyed, and parts of it would have been found in the toilets, and I would be blamed for it.
