Hey everyone. Total noob reporting in, I just discovered this site a few weeks ago (when it was under maintainance too boot), and am very interested.
The reason for my interest is that this seems like a very experienced and friendly community for costumes and the like, whether they're Halo-related or not.
The latter, is what I have to offer at the moment.
For several years prior, I have always wanted to make a Theron Guard costume from Gears of War. For about a year, I planned, a bit naively, to create the suit. Most of my plans were nearly impossible to do, such as using actual metal to form each part. A couple times, the project faded into the background, placed on the backburner as other things arose in my life. But the dream did not.
All flowery prose aside, in about June or July 2009, I truly began to piece it all together, with new ideas and concepts scrounged from the internet, a complete stranger to costumery.
Okay, whatever, I'm sure you've already skipped this part. I'll explain more as people ask.
TL;DR
LOOK WHUT I MAED, GUYS!
BY THE WAY,
this is a pseudo-work-in-progress shot. I lack the proper makeup, the boots, the helmet (which is not completed yet) the back is missing a lot of detail, and I'm going to make a Boltok soon enough. Also, the shoulderpads are droopier than I'd like in this shot.
MORE WIPS:
Sorry for the poor quality on some of these, I had to use my phone; I was rushed for time.
