General: As much as this costume sucks I still like it! HAHA so there. *razz* anyway overall it turned out to be quite a wreck but I was excited to make it. And I hope that one day I'll actually redo it. But as of now its pretty much...umm... out of commission. ~.~
"Armor": well ok so I had no real clue as to how to do armor when I made this. Thus it was amazingly CRAPTASTIC. I used wire mesh to make the basic forms and then covered that in paper mache and spray painted it black. Yeah it really sucked and the wire poked me. I now have some better ideas of how to go about armor... but I remain reluctant.
Cape: ok this part of the costume turned out the best. I love the cape! Its huge even if it is rather heavy. And the shoulder armor that's on it is the only part of the armor that looks good, even if it did make it hard to go through doors and I was paranoid I was gonna get someone in the eye with it.
Hat: the hat is my FAVORITE part of the costume! Thought it now needs a bunch of fixing. For the hat I took an old black hat and then used felt (with a LOT of fabric stiffener) to extend the rim I made the jewel thing with a plastic half ball thing they sell in craft stores and paperclay. YAY HAT! Umm yeah..
