Building my warrior...

Quite literally. This will be a Myth War, mostly because I haven't seen anyone do a Myth yet.
I have experience building armor so hopefully this will go pretty smoothly. Any questions on how I did anything I'd be happy to answer.

Leg armor:

Started on chest today, ab piece is a rough cut just to see if the idea I'm using will work.

Gonna be taking a trip to the fabric store tomorrow and get more done. My biggest challenge is going to be Bravura, mostly in making it reasonable to carry around for 8+ hours and easy to transport. I've made a scythe that can be disassembled before so I'll likely follow that route...either way it should be an interesting build.

Bumping with updates (blah blah lots of work later):

Currently mixing the stuff to paper mache Bravura now. I haven't done this since I was around six years old so it should be real fun.

Looking nice, I would love to see the finished product.

Thank you!
I leave for the convention in two days, so I'm cutting it reaaally close but...

The detailing on the axe head is there, just not really visible because of the camera quality.

And the rest of the costume:

Belt detail:

Doing about 40 things at once, but the list of things to do is getting shorter...my friend is also trying to get her White Mage done in time as well, so hopefully we can get some nice shots while we're there.

Anyone else think this was going to be about an in game build? xD

Really good job though, especially the axe :O

Looks awesome! From a fellow warrior myself, can't wait to see the finished product!

Make us Warriors proud! Doing a good job of that already though :)

Looks very cool! Very creative!! :)

+1 for costume but -1 for Warrior.

Real warriors roll paladin.

Aah, can't wait to see the helmet :D can you /visor it?! XD

But anyways, I'm excited to see how your costume comes out when fully finished. Please keep us informed!

Thank you everyone! More progress, bigger headache from paint...but getting closer.

Y'all can hide behind your shields, I prefer to let my axe do the talking. :p

Unfortunately I won't be doing the helmet this time, due to space constraints for traveling, but I'm hoping to do that for NYCC this October. And yes, I will hopefully be able to /visor!

Here's where I'm at right now:

Gauntlet (will definitely be redoing this):

Details on Bravura:

Currently waiting on my pauldron to dry so I can sand/paint it, getting really close to being done but also REALLY close to when I have to leave.

PS: I HAVE NO IDEA IF BRAVURA ACTUALLY FITS INTO MY SUITCASE? YAY

Aaaand it's done (sans fur trim for the moment)! Bit of a teaser for now since I'm sure I'll have plenty of full-body pictures from the convention this weekend.

Rigging the shoulder and chest belts was a pain but they sit pretty comfortably, except for the fact that about 80% of my vision is blocked if I turn my head right. I also haven't put the back leather section in yet since it limits my mobility quite a bit, so I may pass on that for now and rework it when I get back.

It's been several months but it occurred to me I never actually posted finished pictures of this. Three conventions later, it needs some repairs and improvements, but I have a while before the next one to do all that. Unfortunately Bravura did not fit in my suitcase and I had to cut it in really terrible places so that's going to get redone at some point.
Anyway.

Might be more pictures of this costume floating around, I haven't really checked. Let me know if you see any though!

Really impressive, nice work indeed.

Looks awesome!! No chance of the helmet though?

Ahh! I remember you were with a White Mage at Anime Central this year! My friends and I saw you from the escalator and ran over to take a few photos. My hand was shakey but this is the best shot I had.

Oh this just rocks.

I kinda want a Bravura. o_o

really awesome build. I dream I could go to conventions and cos-play. Really admire the work.
