I hope you wear this to DnD sessions.
Wish I could! Unfortunately I don't have a group. Even if I did, I don't have a ton of time to commit to it :(
The health potion made me think it's a D&D cleric, but D&D doesn't have a mana concept, so the blue potion has me confused. It doesn't seem like a WoW outfit, but that's what I would associate mana potions with. Whatever it is, it looks bad ass!
This outfit is heavily inspired by Elden Ring. It's the Tarnished version of my character Astor.
Awesome! 8 haven't played that game yet. How did you get the liquid to be so opaque? My wife made some potions for a costume once, but they were a lot more translucent than yours. Is the armor real metal armor, or is this 3d printed? It looks amazing!
The potions are "water" with food dye and food safe glitter. They are really shimmery and really sell the potion illusion.
The armor is metal! I painted and weathered it.
You did an amazing job.
Thank you! Here's some progress pics of 2 of my helmets.

Super cool! The pointy topped helm looks way better. Great choice going with that one. How did you build those? Do you have a blacksmithing station at home? A forge?
So the pointy helm is what is called a Bascinet. They come in a bunch of different variations. The one i have is referred to as a Wenzel Bascinet due to its depiction in the 15th century Wenzel Bible.
I did not make them unfortunately, but I did paint and weather them. The bascinet was completely unwearable and inhisthoric. I had to do a lot of work to it to make it wearable. If you check my comment history, you can pribably find the wall of text in which I describe everything I had to do lol.
Also, the helm with the flat top, typically referred to as a Crusader Helm, is a "Great Helm" I wear that one for my crusader armor which is a very anachronistic 12th/13th century setup.
That's so cool. Thank you for sharing. The end result is amazing.
Ah yes, the only 2 pieces of medieval fantasy media in existence: DnD and WoW
