yeah, it is made from horseshoe crabs that i collected, cleaned, and then put together with leather. I also have painted the majority of the armor using runes that i devised. I will probably have enough time to go out to a state park nearby after i get back from break.....
thanks for the enthusiasm!
That sounds like it could beat mine i have a relly good dark brotherhood amor

Ooh, sounds cool. I hope I can beat that with simple bribery and smooth talk. Maybe I'll just have the game "fall out" of the delivery truck.
Work has started on my costumes, mostly concept sketches and such, but its work! I won't reveil what they are, but thats so its a suprise. Don't think for a second I'm joining purely for the game (though it is part of it).

yeah, I have spent a bit of time collecting weapons and making armor, so it's been a big process for about 3 years of looking at stuff and making trips. Good luck everyone with their costume projects!!!

if crunchy is painted I am truly amazed, the sun is less than an hour from setting and you can see it on the trees, croud, stirups, feet, armor, and horse. also, I dont see any outline on the helm that has a very bright blue background on it so that a black outline would be more pronounced. I am not sure what part makes you see that it might be painted, but if you are sure then you have a good eye indeed.

Vinya,
Try using maper mache for the antler hat. You may want to hit your local costuming shop for a base to use for it, but the antler's themselves could be made of a somewhat light guage wire covered with paper mache.

As for there being no females entered, just you mortals wait....

I've saw Crunchy's pic, it's cool and all with the armour but shouldn't he show his face? Those were the rules, show your face and a picture with you in common clothes so that we know it's you. I mean that picture with the knight could be taken at any medieval fair when the knight ain't looking. Not fair I say.

I can see that Crunchy might pose a problem. But checking his body size with the help of the non-costumed photo might help a bit. And yeah, when are the women going to enter? The Elderscrolls never stopped you from being the hero (or villain) just cause you're female. Nah, they're just taking their time to get something real good. Men, beware.
Also, I entered, yay!

There are some really good additions again. I'm beginning to wonder if Sid lives in a medieval castle. How many weapons do you have? Pretty cool.
davidtabor4, I believe you can send in 3. I'm not sure though, so I'll have to check. If it does, I think I'll try my original idea again. Some moody lighting in the room, and action!

Eh, yeah. Sentors looks quite awesome too, but I still think that the contest should only allow purely TES related things, like no british armours. Oh well, if you can't beat them, use fire

Please make it TES related, I beg you. People like Thero might lose because other people have Mediveil armor, but if you make TES related armor it will make it a fairer win and you'll be able to brag about your new dragonbone cuirass to all the forum members.

Good one Stargel man, now how am I gonna win? Did you think the money you found in your bedroom was for bus fare? It was a bribe! You were supposed to say that only Canadians from Ontario can enter and that you must have the letters "R", "D" and "E" in your name.
Getting ready to get to the hard part of my costumes. I might need some friends for this one.
Oh, also, can we have two people in the picture, but only one contestent? Cause I have som multi-person ideas.

It's a little unfair if people have expensive medieval armour e.t.c because it isn't very TES and it sort of eclipses the other pictures, several of which are much more Elder Scrollsy... I mean they look really cool but all they had to do was buy armour of the Internet.

Something to think about... to someone who knows about trees, archtect styles, and by careful attention to detail, one can tell where many of our contest entries live, in a very general sense, this doesn't matter to most of us sense we are willing to narrow it down to a ~500 mile radius by saying which province/state/country we live in.

Possibly a bit drastic to buy an entire set piece of armour off the net to win a prize that doesn't quite equate to that cost

I'm no judge, but if i were to enter i'd go for ingenuity, imagination and scenery and mix them all together. Remember, not every race dresses like an Imperial

Personally, I suspect the judges will have a very hard time determining a winner. There are so many entries, and so many good ones, that it won't be easy

1) On the entry form there is a space in which to put your nickname.
2) Plastic weapons are probably just fine. Possibly safer in some hands.
3) I'm not sure of the techicalities on this one, but the rules do state that the photos may not be photoshopped

Very well done though

I figure that as long as we can all understand each other, that's all that counts.
Didn't see anyting in the rules prohibitting more than one family member from entering. Only a limit of three pics per person. Judges?? Pea-poles in charge?? What say you?
Don't worry though mortals, I still indend to enter. Like all my costumes, this one is turning out to be rather a production again.

WooHoo! Drama!
