Description Thank you to everyone for the views, comments and favs! I didn't think I would win a DD for this one. Thank you taeliac for the suggestion.

This is the halloween costume my girlfriend and I made this year. We came in 2nd and won $300!!! :-D
I made all the leather armor.

where did you get the armor from? It must have cost quite a lot!

Cyrus-Wade In reply to alicedoomsday [2007-11-21 18:44:39 +0000 UTC]

I made it by hand.
No machine, no prefabrication.
I bought raw leather from Tandy's (Love that place!) and hardware (rivits, spikes, dye, ect) and then went crazy! :-D
It was fun and I can't wait to start on the next one.

You should have won first! That first place guy didn't have much costume on (eww), yours had more work put into it!
Third place's was pretty cool, weird, but cool nonetheless.

thank you!

The helmets/crowns are my favorite too. They are also the part that took the most time.
I have plans for a more full face/knight helm soon.

absolutely fantastic...i look forward to seeing all this...i am young
and have no money to be able to even attempt to try and do some things like this ^-^;;

but soon enough i will be able to experiment along side my cousin who does somewhat of what you do...
so yeah...

Yes, leather working is not that hard....but it is a little expensive. But if you have a cousin who is into it you might be able to borrow tools (the expensive part) Leather runs on average about $3 per square foot.

I took a look at the pics and I must say that that looks like one hecuva Halloween party ^.^

I also think you were robbed and should have got first place. Then again I probably would have given it to to surreal skeleton suits. I guess it comes down to what strikes a person's fancy at a certain moment in time. Good luck next year.

Thanks! It was a really fun and crazy night. Best Halloween thus far.
I really thought the skeletons were going to win. They had UV flashlights that they shinned all over themselves as they danced around. Cool effect and good creativity.
