Thanks ^^
Hmm well I'm deciding between the race specific outfit or dragoon outfit. But I guess I'll prefer the first one.
Otherwise I'll die with all that armor during summer xD
Colliseum gear wouldn't be a good choice since I don't have a perfect body ^^;;

Sure :3
I'll try to make some patterns and a description tomorrow. How shall I sent it to you when I'm done?
Seems like I can't send you a PM or something like that xD
I wish I made some work in progress Pics of the weapons. It would make the explanation a lot easier hehe. At least I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. My English isn't that good lol.

Here some "raw" shots of them. Before they got their leather covering, painting, details etc. ^^
Don't mind the size, the first pair got too big. (more for men size haha)
That's why I made a second pair and my twin could have the first set =PPP
ya I'm an evil genius hah! I got my sis to cosplay as a PUG this way :D

I put a long stick between the grip and the holder of the claws to get enough stabilization.

They look great, but those things seem a lot larger than they should be.

BTW: What do you mean by "carton" ? cardboard, posterboard?

hehe as I said my first try was too large (more for a man than a woman ^^)
oh .. ya I meant cardboard lol, sorry in German we call it Karton and I thought the English word for it was carton x'DDD

I told Babydoll on here before (but on Facebook) that she should try to make some BRD AF clothes lol I thought that would've suited her well. I like the idea for the banghnakhs; did you invent that yourself (the step-by-step process)?

Yupp everything was made by me :3
I wanted to create a full tutorial and not just some patterns for it.
Haha, well I'm a graphics designer, I was bored and had some time xD

Speaking of patterns...have any of you made paper patterns for these costumes? You could convert them to PDFs and share them on the internet.

Thats a nice idea Sivara ^^
Haha but I'm not sure if ppl would use mine, if i would make some patterns in photoshop. All the patterns I made are more like approximately/circa (or whatever u call it ^^) patterns on brown paper. I often throw them away once I'm done.
