theuntaintedchild he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRyan he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwelfthOfSnackTime he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata he/him Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I imagine that for this kind of question, you may ask on Twitter to Mister Sanderson or Peter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

theuntaintedchild he/him Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuntaintedchild he/him Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you mind posting pictures? I'd love to see what your Parshendi armour looks like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird she/her Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 What @Delightful said! I'd love to see photos of your cosplay, @theuntaintedchild! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theuntaintedchild he/him Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share 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.

theuntaintedchild he/him Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
