\u00abCrafting a full armor from the ground up in just one month ? Eaaaasy !\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the three costumes we wanted to bring with us to Blizzcon in 2015, the Black Knight was the last one we made. One month before our departure to Los Angeles, the costume was barely started (a small piece of chainmail here, a small piece of Pepakura there)… and the stress began to build up slowly !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A huge amount of work awaited us : helmet, sword, full armor, chainmails, lights… The days felt long, but we took the challenge on, and after one month, the Knight came to life (one day before taking off, but still).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a year after its inception, here is (at last) the making of our Black Knight \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reference pictures<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It all begins with some research work, to find good reference pictures.
Our starting point was the illustration made by Alex Horley for the Black Knight card in the video game Hearthstone : Heroes of Warcraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since parts of the character were hidden, Marie re-drew him entirely based on this picture, while adding the missing parts from the World of Warcraft in-game 3D models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
