I’m a guy who does all kinds of things, from piano/keytar, prop painting/weathering, small streamer over at twitch.tv/chamrsdeluxe and youtube under the same name! Check out my stuff! I’m sure there is something that could interest you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

I mean EVERYTHING looked great in that trailer except Ganondorfs fucking hair and beard. That’s what gave it away for me :/

ChamrsDeluxe,

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you! That one is a more complete and weathered version of my first ever ren fest outfit from last year. I wanted to finally dress up and do it right. Even made my own chainmail coif (don’t have time to make the whole ass hauberk lol.)

Here’s how it looked the first time I ever wore it to the festival. My god look how “clean” it looks lol. Definitely Prefer the weathering and wear and tear I put on it now lol. Also the weight I’ve lost.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you! It’s definitely my most “original” faire outfits. A good blend of comfort and style. The crusader is so bad ass, but the maille is so heavy lol.

ChamrsDeluxe,

The middle is actualy my crusader outfit minus the armor lol. Just a good ultra lightweight renfest fit for enjoying the pubcrawl and faire in comfort while still dressing up. The hat I’m wearing is actually my padded arming cap I wear under the maille and helm.

ChamrsDeluxe,

The crusader was influenced heavily by the vanguard class from Chivalry 2.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Yeah no problem!

Normally yes, but this sword is jist a nice looking LARP sword and is made of foam. Wouldn’t mind having a real one, but I like the option to pose for pictures.

Would love to go into detail on my outfits! I’ll have to write up a comprehensive note on everything and get back to it. Or make a video series on it.

The middle one is literally my crusader armor just minus the armor. Makes for a nice lightweight outfit for the fest. You can get some stuff super cheap for the festival really by being creative at goodwill.

Find some loose shirts, leather belts and just kinda layer stuff. My cape in my black outfit was a $20 fur blanket from marshalls.

In this costume:

The robe is a cheap ass harry potter robe from amazon. I used sand paper on it to give it some texture. The fur trim is from that fur blanket I got from marshalls. I just oulled the inner liner from the fur blanket and used it as a cape, and the the fur for the trim of my robe. The skull mask is a $20 plastic mask from amazon with some accryllic paints used for weathering. The necklaces and adornments, cheap trash from hobby lobby.

I’d love to break down everything further, but will take some time. Just really thought into what you wanna do and get creative with stuff you can find. You can out together a simple outfit pretty cheaply. I HIGHLY recommend medievalcollectibles.com that’s where I found a lot of mt specific stuff that I couldn’t make from repurposed things.

Also the crusader was about a year/2 in the making. Every paycheck, I would buy one piece. If on a budget, take your time and just piece it out. As you get different things, you can use different parts for different outfits.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thankee kindly. Glad you were joking. Wouldn’t want to have to send the dead king after ya.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Glad ya like it! It’s definitely my most comfortable fit! Great for just enjoying the festival!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Looks like a mix between zuck and Morty.

ChamrsDeluxe,

NOPE! I had an alternate version without the mask for actually enjoying the party lol. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/19c52c81-9305-4673-a8b0-561bde23f4ff.jpeg

This picture was taken before I finished all of the jewelry, but basically this is it.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

That’s it!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Early concept to final: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/0f63035f-796c-44ad-86cd-55924f190b8e.jpeg

ChamrsDeluxe,

What?

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Oh, the crown is, but everything else os my own creation. I just don’t remember fhe belt thing from the movie. Haven’t seen it since it came out.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Goddamn right! Keytars are underrated!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Sand before priming. And make sure you use filler primer! Will help a LOT. You will probably go through 3-4 cycles of sanding, filler, sanding, bondo, sanding then paint lol.

ChamrsDeluxe,

You bet! My crown here, is 3d printed. I did about 3 cycles of filler and sanding because I got impatient and rushed and you can still see the print lines. Still looks good overall tho. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/88772a67-81bf-4ec9-b0af-23047f6ae7d9.jpeg

ChamrsDeluxe,

Here ya go. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/db557a27-f537-4fd9-bfbe-0512b6c242da.jpeg

ChamrsDeluxe, (edited )

I’ll take that as a compliment, but here ya go.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/56b582e7-003d-477e-bcc4-6f43e3bb266b.jpeg

ChamrsDeluxe,

Yeah! That was me!

ChamrsDeluxe,

The crown is a replica of the crown from The Green Knight. I can’t take credit for thay ingenious costume design. But I really wanted to use it in my own costume.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Lol playing the piano with gloves on is not fun lol.

ChamrsDeluxe,

I will say it looks MUCH better in person. I was standing right infront of a very warm/yellow light, so it’s definitely throwing the color off.

ChamrsDeluxe,

This is my own character I created.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you! I’ve actually made some adjustments since this photo. Added some fur to the shoulders and around the neck, also some gold jewelry to give it more kingly vibes.

ChamrsDeluxe,

I’me pretty happy with it.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thanks!

ChamrsDeluxe,

It really was. Steeped in symbolism and metaphors.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

He is my own character. He was a soldier, later knighted after some heroic deeds. He helped save his kingdom and realm from an evil. The king died in the final battle, and due to his status, prominence and skill as a leader and general good nature he was made king of this kingdom. He became corrupted by his own power, taking the peoples admiration and worship too far and actually seeing himself as a god. He started abusing his power, and the people did not want to risk another evil like the one previously defeated. The people overthrew him and locked him up in a darkest deep dungeon to rot. Some indescernable amount of time later he is resurrected for reasons. However, it was botched, leaving him part skeletal and part bloated corpse (that last bit is mostly to excuse an overweight skeleton lmao, might omit that part when I lose weight). So yeahhhhh. I created this character and I’m using a fantasy novels universe my brother was writing ages ago to place his character and build his backstory.

Sorry for the wall, but now you have some idea!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Lmao! Vader if he ate his feelings!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Chainmail would not protect your from a flail. chainmail is really only protective against cutting/slashing. Chain does nothing for blunt force.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Lol. Sorry I do some medieval historical costuming and love medieval history. It’s fascinating stuff.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Lol, we could forget it happened, BUT there’s nothing wrong with learning something new!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Plate armor is your best bet. Padding helps, which was worn under chain. The padded garment worn under chainmail is called gambeson. Gambeson would help, but it wasn’t close to perfect. Put on a dense, thick puffy coat and have someone hit you with a steel baseball bat as if they were trying to kill you. You’ll feel it. Plate armor is the best choice. Obviously with enough blows from a hammer or mace and it could cave in and crush you, but that was rare. Best way to kill a knight in full plate was to get a few of your friends, pile on him, and put a dagger in the gaps of the armor. Throat, thighs, groin, anywhere there would be gaps in the armor.

ChamrsDeluxe,

It’s very layered in metaphor and symbolism, but it’s a crazy movie. It’s based on Arthurian legend. Worth a watch if you want to see some incredible visuals and crazy mythology and want to rack your brain deciphering the meaning behind everything.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Thank you!

ChamrsDeluxe,

Well, the thumbnail is just a freeze frame from the stream with a caption conveying my actual thoughts in the moment I took the screen shot. Sometimes when I play this game I wear my actual armor for fun.

Sorry fun isn’t a thing people tolerate.

ChamrsDeluxe,

Sorry I’m posting OC instead of the same 3 famous content creators newest takes on “hot topics”. Sorry for trying to share something I enjoy. Fuck me right?
