Could you not have tried to look a bit actiony and brave? No disrespect but those poses scream more 'underwear model' than dovahkiin. Not really helping the whole image of women in video games here ya know.

you mad bro?

Erm no? I just mean exactly what I said.

Women in video games are largely still seen as sex objects, there for the men to look at and not characters in their own right. Stuff like this isn't really helping that. :(

ok ill lay on a sofa and eat a wheel of cheese .... and hold up a sign between my toes that says this is for you jessica ...... ... maybe ill pull a pair of white underwear over my head ... with a poop stain on it

Could you not look nice and like a hero at the same time then?

Or are you saying pretty women/game characters are only capable of posing for the guys?

lol, I'm just an apathetic bastard, no worries bout my self esteem. You do seem like a fun person to be around, though I doubt I could beat you at MK, don't play many fighitng games. That and sometimes I forget people on the interwebz don't know my mannerisms n such. It's not unknown for me to be over the top and sarcastic to an extreme degree.

As for encounter women that shallow, iunno really, most people don't talk to me, which is fine by me. One of the ladies in my class last year said I was intimidating or something *shrug*

It is good. However I didn't like the eyes, poses weren't very dovakiinish and you were too clean. Still it was good.

i pictured some dude sitting at his desk foaming out the mouth and the pencil in his hand snapping

Even though I'm not really an Elder Scrolls fan I still find this quite impressive. I particularly like that brass looking mask.

Ahh didn't see that one.
Still good work, dragon priest mask looked excellent.

Or are you saying pretty women/game characters are only capable of posing for the guys?[/quote] first i would like to ask you , have you played skyrim and seen the female characters???? .... i wanted to make an aela the huntress costume at first till i looked at what she was wearing and it is ten times more revealing than what i have made .. i personally did not feel comfortable walking around like that in fear that i would pop out of the damn top.... ..... i really can not help the shape of my body , unless i inject donut straight into my stomach is that going to change ... and looking nice? lol i look like a monster my eyes , my skin ... covering myself in gore ... (if you been reading a lot of the people on here find that unattractive ) ..ans well the shots taken were however my friend felt like shooting me that day , i thought he did a cool job we even terrorized a childrens park and i posed over a pile of dog poop , is that warrior enough? and i am sorry if you are a feminist or whatever ... but girls have been and continue to be exploited in videogames .... look at lolly pop chainsaw and the girl who made the costume to look just like her ..... i saw no problem with it, she made an accurate costume of a character in a game and she got torn apart by people like you because it was too sexy or whatever .... who cares ... its a costume , i seen more revealing crap distributed in halloween stores ,with zero imagination put into them ..... its people like you who make me want to dress more revealing ... stupid guys will be stupid , people that are interested in building will be interested , jealous girls will be jealous , cool girls will be cool ... thats it really .....

I call troll. No one who has that much respect for the game and craft and works that hard on presenation would start a new account here and start tee-hee'ing with terrible typing skills and write with the voice of a teenager in trying to promote herself to her peers.

Whoever the model is, she is amazing, but there is no way she is the op.

If she is, I have lost all respect for my gender.

fart.

I'm sorry, but this is something that's been bugging me in general for a while: Why did you go with Sexy Armor? There's far too much cleavage and skin in designs for female armor in medieval fantasy as is. Not to say you can't make the outfit sexy, but there are ways to do that without exposing tender flesh to an oncoming blade. For example, it would have worked if you'd used the same outfit, but had a layer of leather (or a leather-like substance) underneath.

Excellent work overall, though. I especially like the claw scratches on the helmet.

......really? Instead of complementing the person on the costumes they made, or giving them some pointers on how they could improve it, all you have are negative comments? smh

Nicci Fett:

Firstly lol at the jealous snipe...

Secondly I think you misunderstand me. I have absolutely NO PROBLEM with the costume and I agree with you that there are a lot more revealing outfits in Skyrim (Forsworn leather anyone?). I do have a problem with the poses. I think you could still look great and pose like a hero in action poses, faux fighting with your sword or looking fierce rather than posing coquettishly or rolling around on the floor.

We're currently in a bit of a gender war here on the Escapist, with important issues like the wage gap between genders female portrayal in video games and the degree of coverage that healthcare ought to offer to female-specific issues "slut-shaming" being the prevalent areas of controversy.

OT: Cool helmet, and cool outfit too

lol its not a problem wolf , people get butthurt over the dumbest things ..... i like when people throw lines like .. "not to be disrespectful " and then say something disrespectful rofl

If you can't take constructive criticism then don't post in a public forum where you are going to receive it :/

i was rolling on a dead bird to get rid of my scent ...... and i am not a cosplayer , i do not fight nothings by myself in the woods .... i am just showcasing what i created in good lighting without a pile of laundry on the floor in a basement somewhere ...

i can take constructive criticism but from people that also do this sort of thing ..... say someone makes props and says hey you should try this , i used these materials ... this was the curing time ..and this is the outcome ... not hey you look like an underwear model

I would love to see more shots of this model, explaining the construction of her outfit, why she chose certain materials and the design of her costume. Don't dodge the question of why she couldn't choose strong poses and then go tell us "don't hate me because im beautiful and ima go eat a pile of bacon and not get fat k guyz lawl?" Not cool, and not what anyone who loves games and respects fellow fans would do. What you're doing is fishing for compliments, not trying to have a real discussion about cosplay.

That's just how those poses come across to me.

Your outfit is really great and I particularly love the elf pic (nice eyes). I just think dovahkiin would be a little more scary and a little less Victoria's secret. :p

Kendarik:
. She looked good, really good. Her male friends looked like dorks but she looked like she meant business

I agree but again I'll say it's not the outfit that bothers me but the poses in the last few pics.

Phew, that's some hard stuff. You like blood? :D

lol thanks kendarik , aww my poor buddy steve ! he has a really sweet innocent face , he looks like he is permanently 11 years old .... i have a lot of fun working with him as far as makeup goes ... there is nothing funner than taking someone that looks so harmless and making them into a chewed up zombie or something .... but i do agree with you on the rest of what you have to say ... i would never go onto another woman or mans costuming thread and tell them how they should pose for a photo , it is pretty useless .... its just digging for something to complain about ...especially since i posted a flicker account that accommodates even what she was looking for and makes her argument completely invalid .... meh cant make everyone happy but i just wish after a while they would get bored and shut up

well thank you for your complements i chose to post here the photos that showed my build the most , a lot of the others were cropped oddly or i am a mile away where i am standing on rocks with my sword raised or right in the camera ... all stinky looking .... i just want to share what i made really and share how to make things without killing your wallet with people that care to know ....

HAHHAHAH that goose was a jerk ... i plan on suiting up as a dovahkiin and ..well getting mauled by that goose again ....

this should entertain you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgKAwM3n7tU&list=UUfdZeh3hkGAYixalS2Ge_4g&index=6&feature=plcp

Well, it was very well made, especially the helmet, what is it made of?.
your "armor" does take a few liberties from the source material, but since nobody's going to battle in it, looking good is more important than looking like actual armor.
The sword was good, and the bloodstain was a nice touch.
Of the costumes I've seen, this is one of the best.

On a somewhat related topic, It is highly likely that somebody will wank to this.
Whether that's good or bad is up to you.

And since nobody seems to have said it yet, Welcome to the escapist.
Don't go into the basement.

thank you , the helmet started out as me playing with duct tape actually ... my buddy was sitting on the floor playing arkham city and i was duct taping my head.... then i was like you know i like the shape of this , so i went out and got a product called quick steel , it is an epoxy putty that comes in small tubes , when you pop it out of the tube it is a cylinder shape made up of two parts that you have to kneed with your hands , it cures quickly and heats up tremendously while working with it , i think it is normally used for around the house repairs because it holds and sticks to almost everything ..... do i advise every building with it ? lol no , i used it for this project and probably will never use it again , my hands are small so the constant kneading of this project left me with no finger prints ... it is really rough to sculpt with i used it for both the chest plating and the helmet , it is durable as hell! i can take it off my head and dent a car with it .... but if you buy the quick steel brand it can be a bit pricey ... i believe there is an ((as seen it on tv) brand lol called super putty or ... nope its mighty putty lol ... it is the same formula , just a different color ... but you get three tubes in a pack ... if you ever choose to work with this ... keep it wet and keep your hands wet , it slows the curing process gives you more time to mold and sculpt ....... the sword was fun to make , i actually made two nightingale short swords ... "you only recieve one in the game so i made one for my friend" lol i made both of them in the matter of hours it was pretty intense i used super sculpey for those , and an insane amount of hot glue to fill in any openings i really wish i had made a video like i did with the Krosis mask

Conan and the like are male power fantasy it has nothing to do with pandering to women...

I just get sick of seeing female game characters portrayed like that, like it is all they are there for, that's all.

Very skilled work, things actually looked symmetrical and that is hard.

I'd like to see it; but I'm getting Photobucket's "upgrade to pro today" image

Is anyone else getting a picture icon that says "Bandwidth exceed, upgrade to Pro today"?
