Description
Michigan Renaissance Festival, Saturday the 13th.
I saw this guy a couple of times as at a distance, but never got a chance to talk to him or even take a picture. Late in the day we finally got our chance, and it was worth every second.
Like me, he's made all of his gear. The armor has been airbrushed, the leather-work is his own work, even the staff and the mace and the pouches. Very cool stuff.
Of course, as soon as the pair of us linked up everyone within sight of us stopped and frantically started digging out their cameras. At one point we looked around and counted 15 cameras pointed at us at the same time.
Fortunately we didn't stick around each other too long, because there's so much to do it wouldn't be fair of us to keep people away from everything else ;)
Thanks for taking a look folks! I'll be heading back to the festival at least once more next weekend, so I hope to have more pictures after that.

Amazing! Two great costumes...though I'm leaning towards favoring the slightly smaller guy with nice hair. This is a fantastic piece of work and I love the two of these characters together! The amount of work that went into these costumes is amazing, and I'm sure that the costume makers are just as cool. I love that staff. I'm not big on the Renaissance, despite living in a Renaissance era gate-house (next door and across the river from the executioner's house outside of the town boundary) for a week. (Hostel 99 in Cesky Krumlov is a part of the old gate house complex and the swanky rooms [sans electricity and indoor plumbing] are a part of the old Gatehouse, complete with "black kitchen" and really old gouges in the floor planks.) Anyway...this is super stuff. Great costumes and great characters. Hmmm....the shorter guy needs to go to Cesky Krumlov...my friend Blanka is into guys like that. Just sayin'...

Great to see you with a fellow costume maker! I like his staff, and the kilt is a nice touch. Looks like you had fun! :)

You and your buddy make quite a team, Mike! Fantastic work on both of these costumes! Looks like you're having a ball with this!

The party is assembling ! Find some more such characters and you'll be able to go adventuring, explore some dungeons and fight some dragon ^-^ But such characters may be rare, it may take time to find them ^-^

Absolutely fabulous scene. I can easily see why the two of you had everyone digging for their cameras Great work

Excellent photo showing great detail of both costumes! Yours is by far more thought out and cohesive. While the other has fantastic elements (that staff!) they do not make sense together, perhaps a work in progress? His helm is interesting but matches nothing else. The staff and mace (?) do not go with armor but would fit with your outfit pretty well. If I did not play WoW I'd probably not notice as much but I do and ...I do. =)

doing a good job on these outfits. I know it hard as I was trying to make a buckskin out fit one time. i got a lot of deer hides on the open day of deer hunting because most of them was not saving they hides and I tan over 30 of them i guess. i did not do it as the old timers or the Indians. That would have been real hard. I did leave hair on five or six of them and made a big blanket with two of them together. I got hold of the chemos I needed that had the deer hide tanning to use and when to work, I thought I did good as i made some boots and a shirt. i lost the boots and shirt some wheres in time. I still have the blanket. never use it lol. I then meet some one that tan deer also and his was so soft to the feel as mine was hard. Oh well that how it goes. i did my best. You both did real good.
