Kaladin_Stormblessed Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 125 strips of fabric and many, many, many hours later.... I am proud to present my very own mistcloak! http://imgur.com/a/AuF6H I put all the images on imgur so as to save space here. Please forgive the last picture of myself, as it's pretty awful. >< Each strip of fabric was run through a serger and each hem was done individually. I decided to use a silver brocade for the edging along the hood and the "upper cloak" part, since these cloaks are owned by the lightey-- I mean, the nobility (heh), and I figured they'd prefer a more "elegant" look. I'll have more... "action-y" shots later, when I finish the rest of the costume. Until then, it's very entertaining to frolic about the house in this.
Adrienne she/her Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Nice job! I can't wait to see the action shots - I love watching the movement of these cloaks!
EHyde she/her Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Looks great! I like the silver trim. Have fun doing the action shots!
Kaladin_Stormblessed Posted September 22, 2011 Author Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Thanks!!! I do makeup work and acting for a haunted graveyard for the whole next month, so I am planning on... "borrowing" their facilities before they open for some cool shots in mist. Love your cloaks too, Hyde! Edited September 22, 2011 by Kaladin_Stormblessed
FrostedDonut he/him Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Very cool! And very well-done. I like the hood.
KChan she/her Posted September 22, 2011 Posted September 22, 2011 Very nice! I too like the silver trim. You should submit some of those shots to the gallery. That's what it's there for, after all!

That's what it's there for, after all! Once I get some action shots I plan to submit them to the gallery. I haven't finished my vial-belt or glass knives yet, although the leather bracers are done. I could put up a picture of those... I think I will, actually!
EHyde she/her Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Those are awesome. I wish I knew how to work with leather.
AgapeBleedsRed Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 That looks awesome! A friend of mine have plans to try and make our cloaks and go to a scifi or anime convention in about a year. We're not sure which convention though. It'd be nice if we could do it at one that Brandon might be visiting.

Brandon has a list of his upcoming conventions and appearances on his site through August of next year, if that helps you any (I'm personally hoping he comes to Dragon*Con again, but he hasn't said yet, and I'm pretty sure D*Con and Worldcon conflict this year so maybe not).
