This time my armor was heavily inspired by Elden Ring, including the cerulean and crimson flasks.
I’ve named this iteration Astor the Tarnished.
The black one on the right has a great aesthetic, that’s my fav, but the others have excellent parts too- great showing all around!
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.
Is the parka just to keep warm, or specifically to add bulk? Because I think that extra size is what really makes the 3rd on stand out and look more intimidating.
All three are amazing! If I had to pick one though I’d go with the one on the left
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.
Ever noticed how in America we tend to come up with abbreviations for any word people don’t feel like learning to spell? Renaissance, Mayonnaise… even Through. (Ren, Mayo and Thru, respectively).
Anyway, awesome costumes, love both armors equally.
That’s fair, but wouldn’t the more practical conclusion be that we abbreviate long words since that’s the whole goal of abbreviation?
We also abbreviate short ones I suppose, like “to” to 2 and “with” to “w/”. Really, we just abbreviate things.
I guess my beef is not with the abbreviations, but more with the fact that short versions completely replace long ones. I can’t recall the last time I heard someone say words like mayonnaise or influenza.
Or brassiere, or automobile, or cellular telephone, or taximeter cabriolet, or tarpaulin, etc.
This is just how language works.
Ok, that’s a good one. I think I might have fallen down with the good old bias: everything before my time is antique and everything newer than my time is an abomination. Thanks for slapping some sense into the old grumpy guy :)
That’s more of an internet thing, not an American thing.
Y use lot letrs wen few letrs do trick?
The one on the right is the coolest. You look like such a fucking unit.

Did you build on the middle guy?
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.
Chin beard man is my favorite
None of them look like Adam Driver at all, sorry.
The Mongolian speaks the truth!
Middle!
Glad ya like it! It’s definitely my most comfortable fit! Great for just enjoying the festival!
my armor was heavily inspired by Elden Ring
not a Red Bull can?
The crusader was influenced heavily by the vanguard class from Chivalry 2.
I’m just kidding around. Looks good!
Thankee kindly. Glad you were joking. Wouldn’t want to have to send the dead king after ya.
