Thanks again everyone! I am pretty golly gee willikers proud, and frankly amazed this suit came out as well as it did! LOL Yeah, I'll be the only guy who can go to a Black Metal show and STILL stand out
The red was important, and you'll notice some slight blues on a few pieces too, you need those colors to make things look real, and translate on film. Otherwise you get one big black blob, and the detail gets lost. I'm now shooting for next week for suited up shots, I just did a photo session of all the pieces, and it wore me right down, so I'll have to go a little slower. Underneith for now, I'm gonna wear black jeans (relatively close to medieval other then the denim and zipper) and a log sleeved black shirt. I plan to get a medieval style shirt in the same red as the belt, and then a chain mail tunic and coif to go underneith, when I have some extra money.Here's the break down photos! I went with a Germanic gothic look, around 14th to 15th century plate armor. Scalloped edges, rounded designs, a more elegant streamline appearance, and heavily built around functionality and movement.
