Very dramatic pose. I think this is the best picture of the three. I shows the cocept of the costume much better than the other two pictures as I can see the owl that seems to be the them of the costume.
Great work.

No, not the shoulders. They were already there when I did the crown and the staff, together with a friend who made the robe.

This Year, I gonna be on the Drachenfest. Maybe Conquest will follow in 2012.

So jealous of all the great costuming I see for every European LARP. Of course with a playerbase of 3000 they must have an amazing prop budget. Also I love your speedpaint works.

The best costumes are often made by the players themselves. For this special one, we made the costume for the player, not the convention-team.
Iīve seen short time ago, a video of an american LARP. I donīt know if it is like that everywhere but if itīs so, I wish for you that thereīll be a fast evolution.

I love the evolution the european LARP-scene did in the last ten years.

I don't really know what he's supposed to be exactly, but it doesn't matter. This cosplay is absolutely stunning!

The Drachenfest is a huge Live Roleplaying Event. More then 3000 people split up in different camps and combined with other plots, they play capture the flag.
All camps have a colour and a dragon (in the colour) they follow. As it is really hard to present only one huge dragon puppet at a event like this and they would have to bring up one per camp, they decided to take actors who play a human avatar of the Dragon. To make them look different but all the same, every Avatar has this huge shoulders.

The Grey stands for knowledge and wisdom. The crest is a book with a sword and an owl.

I hope this explains a bit better what the costume is about. :)

And thanks for the compliment. :thanks:

Wow, that definitely helps me out. I didn't know there was such an event although it doesn't surprise me.

I wish I could go. :(
