Rage_Fortress he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 So this may not be the best place to post this question but I'm going to try it anyway. I'm planning on doing a cosplay of a Parshendi warrior for Dragoncon this year. I've found nearly all of the information I need. What I'm still missing is information on their feet. For some reason I always assumed that they were barefoot. Does anyone know?
CaptainRyan he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I... huh. I never thought about that. I assume they are barefoot. What form are you doing? If it is warform I would imagine they might have some sort of carapace armor?
TwelfthOfSnackTime he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 you might be able to get away with some Roman Legionnaire sandals. I imagine they would work we enough. That is if you were looking for something because you don't want to go barefoot and didn't want to use regular shoes.
Yata he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I imagine that for this kind of question, you may ask on Twitter to Mister Sanderson or Peter.

Are there specific accounts (accounts for questions rather than personal accounts) that I should send these to. I've not used Twitter in a very long time. LOL

Rage_Fortress he/him Posted July 15, 2016 Author Posted July 15, 2016 Just in case anyone is curious. Peter answered my question he told me they wear shoes or boots! So that's a no on the barefoot. I'm thinking I like the idea of the roman legionnaire sandals. I'll have to try out a few different things to see what I like the best. 5
Rage_Fortress he/him Posted August 23, 2016 Author Posted August 23, 2016 I am painting my carapace armor tonight and If I get the skirt done in time there will be a lone Parshendi (probably female as I'm working on the beard last.) wandering around Dragoncon! 2

Would you mind posting pictures? I'd love to see what your Parshendi armour looks like. 1
Sunbird she/her Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 What @Delightful said! I'd love to see photos of your cosplay, @theuntaintedchild!
Rage_Fortress he/him Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 I will definitely post photos. The armor is very plain right now so don't expect anything too special. I do plan on eventually making more realistic looking armor. As of right now it's a little cartoony. Nevertheless I'm very excited to be cosplaying from something I care so much about. Last year, I ran across both a Vin Cosplay and a girl reading Way of Kings. Hopefully I'll meet some more fans of Sanderson I can chat with.

I really hope he is going to be able to make it. Meeting my favorite author dressed as a character he created is on my bucket list.
Rage_Fortress he/him Posted September 21, 2016 Author Posted September 21, 2016 So go easy on me guys. It was my first time making armor. I fully plan on trying to remake the armor out of something that isn't so smooth and cartoony looking. I have grand ideas. LOL The first three are during construction and the final pic is after I had my face painted at Dragoncon and I found a relatable species to converse with. 2
