Woo, uploads! This is my fave costume from this past year. Aethan was done for my dear friend Jonnywoof. Was hard getting the head shaped so that it looks good with t without all the armor. Did all the weaponry, and the leatherwork took freaking ages (thanks for help Sasha), and thanks Kyreeth for the pretty photos :)

Thanks much! Since it wasn't a regular comission, I took 6 months in nit-picking every little detail of it. Ever bit of leather has been edged, sealed, embossed and backed in felt so as not to bleed onto the fur. I know I pissed the roomies off with all the late night hammering :>
It's too bad Kyreeth has a nice camera and doesn't know how to use it. All the shots he took with his Nikon D2X in your gallery are way underexposed, due to the horribly small aperture he had set (according to the EXIF data embedded in each image). Why on earth would he use f/18 and f/22? You don't need a super-large depth of field for portraits...
I am not surprised in the least. I made some armor for my Minotaur and god did that take forever!!! We where finishing things up well into the night before needing to pack everything up to leave at 7am to head to the ren faire in the morning. Wail at the faire I had a number or rivets pop out. Luckily nothing fell apart as I used mutable rivets to hold everything in place.
